The American
Garage Floor.

Most residential 2-car garages are completed in 1 to 2 days, typically 6 to 8 hours from grinding to final topcoat. Larger or multi-area projects may take two days. You can walk on the floor in 24 hours and drive on it in 48.

Polyurea is the newer, better technology. It's 100% more flexible than epoxy, which is critical for Wisconsin freeze-thaw cycles. It's UV stable so it won't yellow in sunlight, it resists hot tire pickup, and it cures much faster. Epoxy is rigid, yellows, peels from hot tires, and takes up to a week to cure. We use polyurea exclusively because it outperforms epoxy in every measurable category.

Every installation starts with professional diamond grinding. We grind the entire floor to remove contaminants, existing coatings, and the weak surface layer of concrete. This opens the pores for a permanent mechanical bond. After grinding, we repair all cracks with flexible polyurea filler. We never use acid etching.

Our 15-year limited warranty covers chipping, cracking, and peeling of the coating under normal residential use. We also include a separate lifetime warranty against UV fading, meaning the color won't yellow or chalk in sunlight, ever. The warranty does not cover damage from abuse, neglect, or improper chemical exposure.

Yes. The floor needs to be completely clear of vehicles, storage, shelving contents, and tools. If you have permanently mounted items like a water heater, furnace, or support posts, let us know during the quote and we'll plan around them. Tip: clear the garage the day before. It always takes longer than people expect.

Pricing depends on square footage and the condition of your concrete. We publish ballpark per-square-foot pricing because you deserve to know if we're in your budget before committing to a quote visit. A 2-car runs $3,000 to $4,500 and a 3-car runs $4,500 to $6,000. Call or text for an exact number.

In most cases, yes. Our polyurea systems are more moisture-tolerant than epoxy and create a seamless barrier that prevents moisture migration through the slab. Basements with visible standing water or active intrusion may need drainage work first, but typical ground moisture vapor is well within what our systems handle. We'll assess the moisture level during the free quote visit.

We serve western Wisconsin along the I-94 corridor from River Falls all the way through Eau Claire (River Falls, Hudson, Roberts, Hammond, Baldwin, Woodville, Menomonie, Elk Mound, Eau Claire, Altoona, Chippewa Falls, Prescott, Ellsworth, New Richmond), plus the east Twin Cities metro (Woodbury, Stillwater, Cottage Grove, Lake Elmo, Oakdale, Hastings, Eagan, Apple Valley, Lakeville, Farmington, Rosemount). If you're outside this list but in the area, call anyway. We make exceptions for the right job.
