Picking a season for your garage floor
Any month works in an attached or heated garage. The slab’s temperature and dampness count for more than the date.
Spring through winter
Spring
Our busiest stretch. Salt is done for the year and people want the winter damage dealt with. Calendars fill quickly, so get on the list early.
Summer
Warm, dry and quick to cure. We start early so afternoon heat doesn’t hurry the coating.
Fall
Probably the best timing of all. The floor is sealed before the first snowfall drags salt and slush in.
Winter
No problem in an attached or heated garage. Polyaspartic cures at lower temperatures than most epoxy, and we read the slab temperature before starting.
Brand-new slabs
Fresh concrete has to cure and dry out before a coating will hold on it.
New-build slabs in places like Cobblestone Creek, Prairie Springs and Ravenswood carry a lot of water early on. We check moisture at the measure. If it isn’t ready, we say so and pencil you in for when it should be. The goal is to have it coated before its first winter, so salt never gets a start.

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