Hear from Our Customers
You walk into your garage and actually feel proud of what you see. No more stained, cracked concrete that looks like it’s been through a war. No more oil stains that won’t budge or surfaces that collect every bit of dust and grime.
Your floors now handle whatever you throw at them. Literally. Oil changes, antifreeze spills, dropped tools—everything wipes clean with soap and water. The surface stays smooth, stays strong, and keeps looking good year after year.
And here’s what really matters: you’re not dealing with this headache again in two years. These floors are built to last through Michigan’s brutal winters and scorching summers without cracking, peeling, or fading.
We’ve been handling epoxy floor projects in Royal Oak for over a decade. We’re not the biggest operation—it’s mostly the two of us brothers—but that means your project gets our full attention.
We’ve seen what happens when epoxy jobs get rushed or corners get cut. Floors that fail in six months. Coatings that peel off in sheets. Surface prep that gets skipped because “it’ll be fine.”
That’s exactly why we do things differently. Every floor gets properly prepped. Every coating gets the time it needs to cure. Every customer gets the same level of care, whether it’s a single-car garage or a 10,000-square-foot warehouse.
First, we assess your concrete. Not every floor is ready for epoxy, and we’ll tell you straight up if yours needs repair work first. Cracks get filled, uneven spots get leveled, and any existing coatings come off completely.
Next comes surface preparation—the step that separates lasting floors from failures. We diamond grind the entire surface to create the profile epoxy needs to bond properly. This removes contaminants, opens up the concrete pores, and gives us a clean slate to work with.
Then we apply the coating system in multiple layers, giving each one proper cure time. Rush this step and you’ll have problems later. Take your time and the floor will outlast your expectations. We finish with a protective topcoat that handles daily wear and keeps maintenance simple.
Ready to get started?
Royal Oak’s climate is tough on floors. Freeze-thaw cycles crack concrete. Salt and moisture seep into every weakness. Summer heat makes cheap coatings soft and sticky.
Our epoxy systems are formulated specifically for Michigan conditions. The base coat penetrates deep into the concrete for maximum adhesion. The build coats provide thickness and durability. The topcoat resists UV damage, chemicals, and daily wear.
We handle residential garages, commercial warehouses, retail spaces, and industrial facilities. Each application gets the right system for its specific demands. A home garage doesn’t need the same chemical resistance as a manufacturing floor, but both need to handle Michigan weather without failing.
A properly installed epoxy floor coating will last 10-15 years in Royal Oak’s challenging climate, and often longer with basic maintenance. The key is proper surface preparation and using coating systems designed for Michigan’s freeze-thaw cycles.
Cheap DIY kits or rushed installations might fail within 1-2 years because they don’t address the underlying concrete preparation or use materials that can handle temperature fluctuations. Our multi-layer system with proper cure times creates a bond that moves with the concrete rather than fighting against it.
Regular cleaning with soap and water, plus avoiding harsh chemicals or metal scrapers, will keep your floors looking good for decades. The investment in professional installation pays for itself by eliminating the need for frequent recoating.
Epoxy creates a chemical bond with concrete that’s stronger than polyurethane or acrylic coatings, but it requires more careful installation. Polyaspartic coatings cure faster but cost more upfront. Polyurea offers excellent flexibility but needs specialized equipment.
For Royal Oak’s climate, epoxy provides the best balance of durability, cost, and performance when installed correctly. It handles temperature changes better than rigid coatings and provides better chemical resistance than most alternatives.
The real difference isn’t just the material—it’s the installation process. Any coating system fails if the concrete isn’t properly prepared or if the application gets rushed. We focus on getting the prep work right regardless of which coating system makes sense for your specific needs.
Minor cracks and surface imperfections can be repaired as part of the coating process, but significant structural damage needs to be addressed first. We evaluate every floor before starting work and give you honest feedback about what needs fixing.
Small cracks get filled with appropriate repair compounds. Oil stains are removed through grinding or chemical treatment. Uneven areas are leveled to prevent coating thickness variations that can cause premature failure.
If your concrete has major settling issues, extensive cracking, or structural problems, coating over it won’t solve the underlying issues. We’ll recommend proper concrete repair first, then coating once you have a stable foundation. Trying to hide serious problems with coating just wastes your money and time.
Proper preparation starts with diamond grinding the entire surface to remove any existing coatings, sealers, or contaminants that prevent bonding. This also creates the surface profile epoxy needs to mechanically lock into the concrete.
We repair all cracks and imperfections with appropriate fillers, then vacuum the entire area to remove dust and debris. Any oil stains get treated with specialized cleaners or additional grinding if necessary.
The concrete needs to be completely dry before coating application—moisture trapped under epoxy causes bubbles and adhesion failure. We test moisture levels and wait for proper conditions rather than rushing the schedule. This preparation work takes time but it’s what separates lasting floors from failures.
Daily maintenance is simple—sweep or vacuum loose debris, then mop with soap and water when needed. The smooth, non-porous surface doesn’t trap dirt like bare concrete, so cleaning takes less time and effort than before.
For tougher stains like oil or grease, wipe them up quickly and use a mild degreaser if needed. Avoid harsh chemicals, metal scrapers, or abrasive cleaners that can damage the surface. Most spills come up easily with just soap and water.
Annual deep cleaning with a pressure washer or floor scrubber keeps the surface looking new. The coating is designed to handle normal wear, but avoiding dragging heavy objects across the floor and using furniture pads will extend its life. With basic care, you’ll get decades of service from a properly installed system.
Yes, we stand behind our work with comprehensive warranties that cover both materials and installation. The specific terms depend on the coating system and application, but we guarantee against adhesion failure, premature wear, and installation defects.
Our warranty covers the coating system performing as specified under normal use conditions. This includes resistance to staining, chemical damage, and wear patterns typical for your type of facility. We don’t cover damage from abuse, improper maintenance, or structural concrete issues.
If problems develop that are covered under warranty, we’ll return to diagnose the issue and make necessary repairs at no charge. We’ve been in business long enough to honor our commitments, and our goal is customer satisfaction that leads to referrals and repeat business.
