Metallic epoxy
Pigment moved by hand while the resin is wet, so no two floors come out the same. Depth like polished stone, finished dead flat.
Metallic pours. Flake broadcasts. Pool decks that stay cool underfoot. Ground to bare concrete first, every single time.
Concrete is a sponge. In Tampa it is a wet one, year round.
Water vapor pushes up through a slab all day long. Seal it under a coating that cannot breathe and the pressure has nowhere to go, so it lifts the finish off the floor in blisters. Nothing was wrong with the product. It was the wrong product for that slab.
Add the shortcut half this town takes. Acid etch instead of grind, one thin roll-on coat, done by lunch. It looks incredible for a season, then the first hot tire peels a strip of it up like tape.
We test the slab before we spec it. Then we grind. Then we coat.
Pigment moved by hand while the resin is wet, so no two floors come out the same. Depth like polished stone, finished dead flat.
Vinyl chip broadcast to full refusal, scraped back and sealed. Hides slab imperfections, carries its own grip, and cleans with a mop.
Hot-tire rated polyaspartic topcoats. Oil, brake fluid and dropped sockets stop being a permanent record of your weekend.
UV-stable so it will not yellow, anti-slip aggregate worked into the last pass, and noticeably cooler on bare feet than raw concrete.
Commercial spaces, one-day polyaspartic turnarounds and crack repair handled the same way.
Tap any floor to open it full size
Same four steps on a metallic showpiece as on a plain grey garage. The order is what makes it last.
Diamond tooling opens the concrete to a raw profile. Acid etch cannot do this. It is the difference between a coating bonded into the slab and one sitting on top of it.
Cracks chased out and filled, spalls rebuilt, oil degreased. Moisture reading taken. High readings get a vapor-tolerant primer instead of a prayer.
Metallic pigment gets moved by hand while it is still wet. Flake gets broadcast to full refusal so the color is dense corner to corner, never thin or patchy.
Scraped flat and topcoated. Anti-slip aggregate anywhere water lands. Walk on it that evening, park on it in about a day.

Anyone can quote a floor over the phone. It is also how you end up with a different number on day three. We measure the slab, test it, and put the price on paper first.
Book the measureSquare footage, slab condition and moisture reading decide the system. A quote without those three is a guess.
Product names, mil thickness, coat count. You can hold what we said against what actually went on your floor.
Prep surprises are ours to price. You are not absorbing a change order with the floor half done.
Whoever quoted your floor is whoever grinds it. Nothing gets handed off to a subcontractor.
Most residential garages finish in one to two days. A polyaspartic system can be ground, coated and walked on the same day, with vehicles back after about 24 hours. Full epoxy builds cure slower and need 48 to 72 hours before heavy tires return.
It depends on square footage, slab condition and the system. Flake and metallic cost more than a solid color, and cracked or oil-stained concrete needs more prep hours. We measure on site and give you a written number first.
A properly prepped floor commonly lasts 10 to 20 years in a residential garage. The biggest factor is surface preparation. Coatings rolled over sealed or unprepared concrete are the ones that peel.
Usually yes. Cracks get chased and filled, spalling gets patched, oil contamination is degreased and ground back to clean concrete. Slabs with active moisture intrusion or movement need that handled first.
A smooth topcoat can be slick wet. We work anti-slip aggregate into the final coat on anything that sees water, including patios, pool decks and entryways. Flake systems also carry texture from the chip.
It does, and it is why many Florida coatings fail. Concrete holds moisture and a slab with high vapor transmission will bubble a coating off. We moisture test and switch to a moisture-tolerant primer when readings call for it.
Tell us the space and roughly how big it is. We come measure, test the slab and hand you a written number.
