Garage floor coating keeps salty slush and drip oil sitting on the surface, where a squeegee can move them, rather than soaking into the slab. Every garage gets a diamond grind first, which gives the resin real concrete to grab.
Our usual garage floor coating starts with an epoxy primer, then a full broadcast of vinyl chips, then a clear polyaspartic wear layer. The chips hide grit between cleanings and add texture underfoot, and the wear layer will not soften under hot tires. You pick the chip blend, and plenty of people match it to the siding or trim on the house.
Most garages are finished in one to three days, depending on the size, the prep and the temperature in the room.
From about November into April, a Prince George garage floor lives under melting slush. The salt in that slush works into bare concrete and pops the surface off in flakes, and the crushed rock the City spreads on hills and corners gets dragged across the floor by every tire.
A proper garage floor coating stops both problems. The epoxy seals the pores so salty water stays on top, and the hard wear layer resists the grit. We also put extra wear layer at the tire paths and the overhead door, since that is where the floor takes most of the punishment.
Detached garages on acreages around Chief Lake, Blackburn and Cranbrook Hill often sit unheated for much of the winter. For those, we plan the work for a warm stretch or bring in heat.
A hardware store kit is mostly paint with a little resin in it. It usually goes on after an acid etch, which cleans the concrete without really roughing it up. The coating has almost nothing to hold, and warm tires pull it up in patches within a season or two.
A professional garage floor coating is many times thicker and goes onto ground concrete. If your garage already has a failed kit on it, we grind every bit of it off before the new floor starts. Slabs that have heaved or cracked need the fixes on our concrete floor repair page first.
A chip garage floor coating with a polyaspartic wear layer usually runs about $6 to $10 per square foot in Prince George. A single bay often lands close to our $2,500 minimum, and a typical double garage falls somewhere between $2,400 and $5,500. Older slabs with oil, cracks or old paint cost more to prep.
If downtime matters most, a full polyaspartic floor coating can be done in one day. We are happy to price both builds side by side.
We come out, measure, test the slab and leave you a price on paper for your garage floor coating. Phone (778) 744-5382 to book a time, or browse the rest of our work from the Prince George Epoxy Flooring home page.
Lots of projects pair a garage coat with a basement floor, or a shop coat with slab repairs.
A shop floor coating shields the concrete in a working bay from oil, coolant, road salt and falling steel. It is built heavier than a house garage floor, with grit locked in so mechanics stay on their feet when the bay is wet.

Basement epoxy flooring replaces a cold, powdery slab with a sealed surface that shrugs off water, dropped weights and spilled detergent. Lower levels that have ever had a damp corner are where it pays off most.

Industrial epoxy flooring gives a plant a thick, sealed surface built for forklifts, hot water, oil and chemicals. The thickness is set area by area, according to what rolls and spills across each part of the floor.

Polyaspartic floor coating is the quick-setting option for cold Prince George garages and shops. Each coat firms up within hours, even in temperatures that would stall ordinary epoxy, and most floors take a vehicle about two days later.

A warehouse floor coating ends concrete dust, brightens the building and protects the slab from forklift wear. It is one of the least expensive ways to make a warehouse easier to clean and safer to work in.

A coated commercial floor is joint-free, mops clean, resists stains and holds up to carts, rolling chairs and winter boots. It replaces tired tile, carpet and bare concrete in clinics, offices, shops, showrooms and staff rooms.

Concrete floor repair is the groundwork under every good coating. We chase out cracks, rebuild chipped joint edges, fill pits and patch scaled spots, and we fix failed coatings and floors worn thin as well.

Spilled acid, caustic, solvent and fuel will eat bare concrete and ordinary epoxy, and a chemical resistant floor coating is the barrier that stops them. Battery rooms, chemical stores, labs, wash bays and process areas are where it belongs.

A metallic floor is a decorative resin finish with swirls of shimmering colour that look like polished marble or stone. It goes over concrete in basements, home bars, offices and showrooms.
