Epoxy & Polyurea Floor Coatings
Turn dusty, stained concrete into a tough, good-looking floor that's easy to clean. We install both systems and will recommend the right one for your space and the condition of your floor.
Epoxy or polyurea?
| EPOXY | POLYUREA | |
|---|---|---|
| Install time | 2–3 days | 1 day |
| Cure time | 1–2 days | 1 day |
| Sunlight | Can yellow without a UV topcoat | UV-stable |
| Looks | Flake, solid color, metallic | Mostly flake and solid color |
| Damaged floors | Better choice. Builds thicker to fill and smooth out rough, pitted or heavily worn concrete | Best on floors in good shape. Badly damaged slabs may need epoxy instead |
| Best for | Basements, shops, metallic looks, damaged floors | Garages, fast turnaround, Minnesota winters |
How we do it
- 01
Diamond grind
Grinding removes old sealers, stains and the weak top layer so the coating can grip.
- 02
Repair & fill
Cracks, chips and pits are filled and ground flush. Damp slabs get a moisture system.
- 03
Base coat
The epoxy or polyurea base coat goes down and bonds into the concrete.
- 04
Decorative layer
Flake is broadcast into the wet coat, or metallic pigment is worked in (epoxy), for the look you picked.
- 05
Clear topcoat
A UV-stable clear topcoat locks it all in and adds texture for grip.
Why epoxy
- Thick, hard surface that resists oil, chemicals and hot-tire marks
- The widest range of looks, including metallic finishes
- Builds thick, so it's the go-to for rough or badly worn floors
- Good to know: install takes 2–3 days, plus 1–2 days to cure
Why polyurea
- Fast: installed in 1 day, with a 1-day cure
- Flexible, so it handles freeze-thaw swings without cracking
- UV-stable, so it won't yellow in an open garage
- Good to know: works best on floors in decent shape. Very damaged slabs may need epoxy
Pick your flake blend
We install flake from Torginol and Sherwin-Williams, with dozens of blends to choose from. These are blends from our recent jobs, from full-flake garages to light-flake commercial floors. Ask for more options, and we'll bring physical samples to your quote so you can see them in your own space.
More blends we can order
Colors on screen can look different from the real thing, so always check a physical sample before choosing.
Moisture systems for basements
Basement slabs can push moisture up from the ground, and that moisture is one of the top reasons floor coatings bubble or peel. We test your slab first. When it's needed, we install a moisture-blocking primer under your epoxy or polyurea so the new floor stays bonded.
- We test the slab before recommending anything
- Helps stop bubbling, peeling and lifting
- Lets you coat basements that otherwise couldn't be coated
- Standing water or active leaks need fixing at the source first
Professional floor washing
Want your coated floor looking like new again? We'll machine-scrub it to lift road salt, oil and ground-in dirt, then rinse and dry it streak-free. It's great every spring after salt season.
A one-of-a-kind, marble-like floor
Metallic pigments are worked into the epoxy by hand, creating swirls and depth that look like polished stone. No two floors come out the same. It's great for basements, showrooms, offices and retail spaces.
- High-gloss, seamless finish
- Custom color blends
- Same tough, easy-clean epoxy underneath
