Our epoxy floors start at $5.95 per square foot. A one-car garage typically starts around $1,490, a two-car around $2,400, and a three-car around $3,600. That price includes grinding, crack repair, moisture testing, full-broadcast flake, and a UV-stable topcoat. Heavy slab repair or moisture mitigation is quoted separately, and your written estimate is free.

Two days. Day one is grinding, repairs, base coat, and flake; day two is the topcoat. You can walk on the floor 24 hours after the topcoat and park on it after 72 hours.

A professionally installed floor lasts 15–20 years with normal use. Garages that double as workshops or see daily car traffic sit toward the lower end of that range; a light-use garage sits toward the higher end.

Yes — in fact it’s essential to get it right here. Houston’s humidity means extra attention to moisture-vapor testing and slab prep before coating; skip that step and you’ll see peeling within a year or two. A true moisture barrier is rare in garage floor installations — what matters most is proper vapor testing and surface prep before the coating goes down.

Peeling is almost always caused by inadequate surface prep, moisture issues, contamination, or low-quality materials — the exact failure mode we see most often on DIY kits applied straight over a Houston slab without addressing ground moisture first.

Hot tire lift happens when warm tires pull the coating away from the concrete — and Texas summers make this a real risk with cheaper coatings. Proper prep and premium materials are what prevent it; it’s one of the main reasons DIY kits fail here.

Some epoxy products amber under prolonged direct UV exposure. Garages with south- or west-facing doors that catch afternoon Texas sun are the most exposed — we use UV-stable topcoats specifically to guard against this in our climate.

Yes. A quality topcoat is what gives the floor its stain resistance and easy cleanup, and it’s especially important here for standing up to Texas heat and UV exposure over time.

Yes. Higher-solids coatings hold up better against Houston’s heat and humidity swings over the year. The right system depends on how the space is used — a daily-driver garage needs a different spec than a showroom.

Yes, if the existing coating is structurally sound and properly bonded. We inspect for the moisture and adhesion issues common in older Houston-area slabs before recommending a recoat versus a full strip and redo.

There’s a temporary odor during installation and curing, typically gone within a day or two with the garage door open — normal in our climate and not a sign of anything wrong.

Yes. Tuxedo, Sandstone, Cabin Fever, and Orbit are in stock and ready to install, but we can special-order other flake blends — team colors, a lighter or darker neutral, or a mix to match your cabinets or trim. Custom colors add a few days of lead time and any material difference is itemized on your written quote.

Yes, but the moisture test decides the system. Lakeside slabs often read high for vapor transmission; if yours does, we use a moisture-tolerant primer before the base coat and price that in your written quote. Coating a sweating slab without testing is exactly how floors peel in a year.

A full-broadcast flake floor with a quality topcoat handles trailer tires, jack stands, and dropped tools under normal use. Put a scrap of plywood under a jack for heavy lifts and you’ll never mark it.
