Professional Garage Epoxy Floor Coatings

Upstate Epoxy Floor Coatings transforms worn garage floors into durable, professional-grade surfaces that handle whatever you throw at them—and look fantastic doing it.

Why Epoxy Makes Sense for Garage Floors

Garages demand more from flooring than almost any other space. Between vehicles, tools, chemicals, and temperature swings, you need a surface that can truly perform. Here’s why epoxy has become the go-to choice for homeowners who actually use their garages.

Stands Up to Vehicle Traffic

Epoxy coatings are engineered to handle that constant weight and movement without cracking, chipping, or wearing through.

Protects Against Oil and Chemical Spills

Oil changes, antifreeze, brake fluid—garages see it all. Epoxy's non-porous surface means spills sit on top instead of soaking in. Wipe them up quickly and your floor stays stain-free.

Handles Temperature Extremes

Capital Region winters are brutal, and garages aren't climate controlled. Epoxy floors handle the freeze-thaw cycles without deteriorating the way bare concrete does.

Easier to Keep Clean

Sweeping takes half the time on epoxy compared to porous concrete. Dust and dirt don't embed themselves in the surface. For deeper cleaning, just hit it with a mop or hose it down.

Choose A Coating System

During your free estimate, we'll show you samples of each system and explain the pros and cons for your specific garage. You'll know exactly what you're getting and what it'll cost before we start any work.

Concrete Preparation

This makes or breaks the entire installation. We diamond-grind your concrete to create the profile epoxy needs to bond permanently. We repair cracks, remove any existing coatings, and make sure the surface is absolutely clean.

Apply Base & Flakes

Once prep is done, we roll out the epoxy basecoat. For flake systems, we broadcast the chips while the base is wet, then remove any loose material. This is when your garage starts its transformation from dull concrete to something you'll actually want to show your neighbors.

Topcoat Application

We apply a clear, protective topcoat that seals everything and creates that durable, glossy finish. Between coats, we do light sanding and thorough cleaning. The topcoat is what gives your floor its final appearance and maximum protection against wear.

Curing Time

The hardest part—waiting for the chemistry to do its work. Depending on the products and your garage temperature, full cure takes 2-5 days. You can walk on it sooner, but vehicles need to stay off until we give you the all-clear.

Most garage floors are completely finished and ready for vehicles in 5-7 days. Here’s our proven process from start to finish.

How We Install Your Garage Epoxy Floor

The classic choice for a clean, professional look. Solid epoxy gives you that seamless showroom finish without texture or pattern. It’s ideal when you want a modern, polished appearance and don’t need maximum slip resistance.

This is where garages become statement pieces. Metallic epoxy creates depth and movement that changes as you walk through the space. The three-dimensional effect is stunning, especially in garages with good lighting. No two metallic floors look identical.

The workhorse of garage coatings. Those decorative flakes add slip resistance that matters when you’re tracking in snow, water, or oil. The texture also hides tire marks and minor wear better than solid systems. This is what we recommend for garages that see real, daily use.

Want custom patterns, logos, or designated zones? We can create designs that make your garage truly unique. These systems combine the durability you need with personalized style that reflects how you use the space.

Different garages need different solutions. We install four distinct epoxy systems, each with specific advantages. Here’s how to match the right coating to your needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some of the most frequently asked questions we hear about epoxy flooring.

Can I park my car on epoxy flooring right away?

Not immediately. You can walk on the floor after 24-48 hours, but vehicles need to stay off for 5-7 days while the epoxy fully cures. We’ll give you an exact timeline based on the system we install and your garage conditions.

Will epoxy hold up to hot tires?

Absolutely. Properly installed epoxy is engineered to handle hot tires without softening or marking. The key is using quality materials and allowing full cure time before you start parking.

How do I maintain my garage epoxy floor?

It’s simple—regular sweeping or leaf blowing keeps dirt and debris from accumulating. For deeper cleaning, mop with mild soap and water or use a pressure washer on a low setting. Wipe up oil or fluid spills promptly, though even if something sits for a while, it usually cleans up easily. We’ll walk you through specific care instructions when we finish your installation.

How long will my garage epoxy floor last?

With professional installation and normal residential use, expect 15-25 years from your garage floor. Commercial garages with heavy equipment or constant traffic typically see 10-15 years.
