Scope of Work
Project Overview
A homeowner in Falls Church, Virginia reached out to us again, this time to coat their garage floor with epoxy. The garage measures just over 20 by 20 feet, giving us about 400 square feet of concrete to prep and coat.
The garage gets used daily, with an SUV parked inside and household items stored along the walls. The goal was to turn the worn, bare concrete into a finished floor that looks clean and holds up to heavy traffic.
We applied a grey epoxy system with decorative multi-colored flakes, sealed under a clear top coat. The result is a glossy, durable surface that reads as a finished room instead of a bare slab.
Before / AFTER
Site Conditions
The Property and Site Conditions
The project took place on an existing concrete garage floor that showed visible wear from years of use. Bare concrete in a working garage picks up oil, grime, and surface wear over time, and none of that can stay on the slab if the epoxy is going to bond properly.
Epoxy also needs more than a clean surface to stick. The concrete had to be etched so the coating could grip the slab, and any minor cracks or imperfections had to be repaired first so they would not show through the finished floor.
ASSESsMENT
What We Did
Before coating, we cleaned and degreased the entire concrete surface, then etched it so the epoxy would grip the slab. We also repaired minor cracks and imperfections so the coating would go down over a smooth, solid base.
Next, we rolled out a premium epoxy primer and a grey base coat across the full 400 square feet, then spread multi-colored decorative flakes into the wet epoxy. We finished with a clear, durable top coat for protection and sheen, and added an anti-slip additive for safety underfoot.
Once the coating was down, we managed the curing time so the floor could harden properly before the client pulled the vehicle back in, then handled the full cleanup. The finished floor has a glossy, reflective surface that hides minor dust and tire marks better than bare concrete and wipes clean with far less effort.
