From photos to a written scope

The slab gets read first. The product comes after.

  1. Photograph the slab. Show the whole floor, any cracks, old paint or coating, oil stains and signs that water has been in the garage. Note if the garage stays damp in the wet season.
  2. Read the signs. They hint at whether the floor needs a moisture test, crack repair or old coating removal before any product is named. A sound floor may not need a coating yet.
  3. Ask for the written scope. It should name the prep, the moisture test, the system, the cure time and the price. It should also list what the warranty leaves out. Nothing should start until you say yes.
  4. Hear when an installer is available. We are not booking jobs yet. If you tell us about your project, we will let you know when a local installer is available. Ask that installer for photos of the floor after prep and at the end.

Cities we cover in Sarasota Area

Match the system to the slab

Every system below needs the same start: a clean, sound, dry slab. If the slab is not ready, none of them will hold.

  • Epoxy. A resin coating that bonds to a prepared slab. Its price range is wide because thickness and prep vary.
  • Polyaspartic. Cures in hours on the maker sheets we read. Mostly sold as a clear topcoat, and mostly praised by sellers.
  • Flake. Decorative flakes in a base coat, sealed by a clear topcoat. You pick it for the look.

Start from your situation

  • The floor stays damp in the wet season. Test for moisture before any system. Read the storm and moisture guide.
  • Old paint is lifting. It comes off before anything goes on. See preparing a garage floor for epoxy.
  • You want the garage back fast. Compare cure times in writing. The maker sheets we read list polyaspartic in hours and epoxy in days. They come from different makers, so that is not a head-to-head test. The polyaspartic page and the epoxy page show the sheets.
  • You want the look. Ask for a flake sample.
  • You want a price first. Try the Garage Floor Price Estimator.

What every system shares

Each one needs a moisture test, a written scope, a stated cure time and the warranty exclusions in writing. Ask every installer for each of these.

Questions people ask

Which garage floor coating should I choose?

The one that fits your slab, your schedule and your budget. We name no winner. Epoxy, polyaspartic and flake each suit different floors, and the slab is the place to start.

Is epoxy flooring the same as a garage floor coating?

Many people search for epoxy flooring when they mean a garage floor coating. A garage floor coating can be epoxy, polyaspartic, or a flake system. The pages above keep them apart.
