Garage & basement floor coatings · Airdrie, Balzac & Crossfield Mon–Sat 8am–6pm

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.

Can a garage floor be coated during an Airdrie winter?

If the garage is attached or heated, yes. We measure the slab’s temperature and moisture during the visit and schedule around what we find.

How soon can new concrete be coated?

It varies with the pour and the weather, so we don’t guess. A moisture test tells us when it’s dry enough.

How much notice do you need?

In spring and early fall, give us a few weeks. Summer and winter are quieter, so less. Measures usually happen within the week.
