Project Overview
Client: Private Residence
Location: Reston, VA
Project Type: Residential Interior Garage and Exterior Porch Coating
Completion Date: February 26, 2024
Project Background
A homeowner in Reston, Virginia, sought to enhance both the functionality and aesthetic appeal of their property by upgrading the flooring of their garage and porch. The aim was to achieve a uniform look that blends indoor and outdoor spaces seamlessly.
Challenge
The main challenge was to ensure a consistent finish across different environments—the interior of the garage and the exterior porch. Both areas needed a durable solution that could withstand various weather conditions while maintaining a high level of aesthetic appeal.

FloorTech Concrete Coatings recommended the “Domino” chip flake for its versatility and durability. This choice allowed for a harmonious look between the garage and porch, with a stylish finish that complemented the home’s overall design.
Execution

Coating Application: The “Domino” chip flake was applied to both the garage and porch. Its blend of colors was ideal for masking everyday use and wear while providing a sleek, modern finish.
Quality Assurance: Our team conducted thorough inspections post-application to ensure that the coating was uniform and met all quality standards, providing a perfect finish in both indoor and outdoor settings.
Results
The project successfully enhanced the visual appeal and functionality of both the garage and porch. The “Domino” chip flake not only beautified the spaces but also provided a durable surface that would hold up against the elements and everyday use.

Polyurea vs Epoxy
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.
Polyurea Cost
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
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. Learn more about the difference between polyurea and epoxy.
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.
