Why Chicago Calls Us When a Floor Has to Be Done Right
Garage slabs here get about 121 freezing nights a year, months of salt slush off the tires, humid summers, and in the older neighborhoods, concrete poured before the current owners were born. Here is how the crew handles each one.
Old Slabs, Checked Before Coating
Census figures put the median Chicago home at 1953, with nearly four in ten built before 1940 over a full basement on lake-plain clay. So the crew checks the slab for moisture first, and an active crack gets pointed out to you before the first coat goes down.
Moisture checked firstBuilt for Salt Slush at the Door
Chicago spread about 215,000 tons of road salt a year between 2009 and 2014, and a share of it rides home on your tires and drips onto the slab. Salt keeps the surface wetter and freezes and thaws it more often, which is what scales bare concrete at the door. A sealed floor keeps that slush on top.
Most Garage Floors in One to Two Days
Grinding, crack repair and each coat get the time the product calls for, and you hear the schedule with your estimate, including when the car can go back in.
One to two days for most garagesPriced at Your Floor, Not Over the Phone
The installer comes out to measure, looks the concrete over for cracks, old coatings and moisture, and goes through flake blends, metallic colors and solid shades with you. The estimate is free and carries no obligation.
What sets the price in Chicago →Every Garage Floor Diamond Ground
A coating is only as good as its bond. The slab is diamond ground to open the surface, then cracks and seams are filled and oil spots lifted, so the base coat soaks into sound concrete instead of sitting on grime or a failed earlier coating.

Based in Chicago, working across the suburbs: Carlos has installed floors across the city and suburbs for years, and the same crew measures, quotes and installs, so whoever prices your floor also coats it.

Pick the look, and the installer matches the system to the space; slip-resistant additives go in wherever extra grip matters.
What an Epoxy Floor Coating Puts Up With in Chicago
Bare concrete drinks spills and sheds dust. Grinding, an epoxy base and a clear topcoat turn it into one sealed surface that wipes clean.
Salt Stays on Top
About 43 days a year the high at O'Hare never gets above freezing, so the slush that drips off the car sits and refreezes on a bare slab and scales it near the door. A sealed floor keeps it on top, where a squeegee moves it out.
Chemical & Stain Resistant
Oil, antifreeze and washer fluid sit on the surface instead of soaking into the concrete, so a wipe-down is usually all a spill needs.
Hot-Tire Pickup
O'Hare sees about 17 days a year at 90°F or hotter, and warm tires can soften and lift a thin or poorly bonded coating. Grinding the slab and building the coats to the product's spec is what keeps the floor under the car.
Impact & Abrasion Resistant
Snowblowers, bikes, rolling tool chests and the odd dropped wrench: a coated floor takes daily garage life better than bare concrete does.
Slip Resistance on Request
Melting slush off a car makes any glossy floor slick. Slip-resistant additives are available, and a flake finish adds a little texture of its own.
Easy to Clean & Maintain
No grout lines or open pores to trap dirt. Sweep it, squeegee the winter slush out the door, and mop now and then with a mild cleaner.

The installer comes out, measures, looks for cracks, stains and earlier coatings, and goes over flake, metallic and solid options. You get a free quote before anything is booked.
Moisture check & diamond grinding
The slab is checked for moisture, then diamond ground so the coating can grip. Cracks and seams are filled and oil spots lifted; a failed old coating comes off first.
Base coat & color
An epoxy base coat goes onto the freshly ground concrete, and the color layer (flake, metallic or solid) goes in at this stage. Humid July mornings and January cold both affect a cure, so the crew works to the slab and the product’s own instructions.
Protective topcoat
A clear topcoat in matte, semi-gloss or high gloss seals the floor against salt slush, stains and everyday wear. Want extra grip? The slip-resistant additive goes in at this step.
Final walk-through
The crew walks the finished floor with you and goes over care, including when it takes foot traffic and when the car can go back in. A question after the job? Call (773) 938-3823, the same number as before.
