Coated garage floors
We grind it, fix it and seal it before the salt trucks come out. Most garages take one day.
What winter does to bare concrete
Salty slush drips off the car, soaks into the slab and freezes there. Give it a few winters and the concrete by the door starts to flake and the cracks get wider.
Chinooks make it worse. The apron can freeze, thaw and freeze again in a single day. A sealed slab doesn’t let the water in, so the salt stays on top where you can wipe it. Around here that means gravel tracked in off new streets in summer and slush off the QE2 in winter. Both clean off.
One day, start to finish
That covers most single and double garages.
- First thing
Diamond grind
We grind the whole slab, edges included, with vacuums pulling the dust as we go.
- Before lunch
Fix the damage
Cracks and spalled spots get filled and ground level. Control joints are left working.
- After lunch
Colour coat and chips
A tinted base coat goes down, and we throw flake into it until no base shows.
- End of day
Topcoat
Clear polyaspartic seals it all in. Grit goes in now if you asked for it. Walk on it the next morning.
What changes your number
Expect roughly $6–$10 a square foot. Your slab decides exactly where.
Damage
Salt pitting, wide cracks and old paint mean more grinding and patching.
Footprint
Big floors spread out the set-up cost. Drains, steps and tight corners mean more hand work.
Stem walls
An add-on, priced by the linear foot.
Moisture reading
If the meter reads high, we add a primer made for damp slabs.
Upkeep through the year
Salt season
Every week or two, push the salty slush out with a squeegee.
Once the snow’s gone
Rinse the winter off with a hose. Wash with a pH-neutral floor cleaner, never vinegar or citrus.
Warm months
Sweep out the gravel and grass. Set kickstands and jack stands on a pad.

We measure, test the slab for moisture and leave a written price. Free, and usually within the week.
