In March 2023, we had the opportunity to work on a residential garage floor coating project in Lake Anna that truly stood out. This garage, one of the best we’ve ever seen, originally featured polished concrete floors. While aesthetically pleasing, polished concrete offers limited protection, prompting the need for an upgrade.
Our task was to sand down the existing polished finish to prepare for our polyurea coating. This process included filling in any cracks to ensure a smooth and even surface. The client chose our “Slate” hybrid/terrazzo style chip flakes, which beautifully complemented the garage’s existing color scheme.
Special attention was given to protecting the garage’s environment, particularly the exposed wooden walls, to prevent any mess during the coating process. The result was a striking and durable floor that not only enhanced the garage’s appearance but also provided the necessary protection for long-term use.
On August 31st, 2023, we completed a residential concrete coating project, enhancing the front porch of a home with a durable polyurea coating. This project involved not only the porch area but also the steps leading up to it, creating a cohesive and polished look.
The concrete we worked on was in excellent condition, requiring only basic cleaning and minimal grinding to prepare the surface. This made the process smoother and allowed us to focus on the application of the coating. The client chose the “Driftwood” flake chip for the coating, a tasteful blend of white, grey, dark grey, and tan paint chips. This color choice resulted in a finished surface that is subtly striking – not overly distracting, but pleasantly noticeable for its neat and unique appearance.
In the picturesque Lake Anna area, we recently completed a residential concrete coating project, transforming a two-car garage, wooden steps leading into the home, and a concrete sidewall. The client selected the visually appealing “Mount Everest” chip flake, which not only enhanced the area’s aesthetics but also contributed to slip resistance due to the added texture.
Before applying the coating, we meticulously prepared the surfaces, including a comprehensive cleaning and resurfacing of the concrete to fill in any cracks. The garage floor was in quite good shape to begin with, showing only minor discoloration and dirt – well within our expertise to address.
Specializing in garage floors, our team is known for efficiency without compromising on quality. We typically complete projects of this size within a single day, minimizing disruption while ensuring a noticeable enhancement in both appearance and functionality. This Lake Anna project exemplifies our commitment to delivering top-notch results with speed and precision.
Although epoxy offers initial cost savings, polyurea is better choice in terms of overall performance and long-term cost-effectiveness, owing to its durability and lower maintenance requirements. The decision between epoxy and polyurea ultimately hinges on your needs. Go with polyurea if want a long-lasting, durable coating with minimal upkeep. Alternatively, if you’re pursuing a shorter-term solution or operating on a tighter budget – epoxy might suit your needs. For those with the requisite skills and time, a DIY approach could also be considered.
Typically, the cost of materials and labor varies, averaging around $6.50 per square foot for larger areas like 900 square feet, and going up to $9.00 per square foot for smaller spaces of around 300 square feet.
Polyurea and epoxy are both used for coating concrete, but they’re quite different. Polyurea is stronger and lasts longer, about 15 years, compared to epoxy’s 3-5 years. It bonds deeply with concrete, making it less likely to chip or peel. Epoxy, while protective, just sits on the surface and can wear out faster, especially with heat and sunlight. When applying polyurea, the surface needs more preparation, but this makes it more durable. In simple terms, polyurea is like a stronger, longer-lasting protective layer for your concrete surfaces.

It is always a good idea to consult your HOA regarding rules about painting or installing coatings in outdoor areas visible from the outside. Typically, this would only apply to driveway and sidewalk coatings. We advise you to check with your HOA, review their documentation, and see whether there is any mention of concrete coatings. If there isn’t, you should be clear to have your coating installed.
Epoxy and some other polyurea coatings can only be installed during warmer months of the year. But, our polyurea coating can be installed year-round even in winter, and still only takes a day for installation.
