What does looking after it actually involve?

Sweeping, and rinsing it down when you feel like it. Warm water and any ordinary household cleaner will deal with anything the broom leaves behind. There is no sealer to reapply, no polish, and nothing you need to buy on a schedule.

What will it look like in ten years?

Slightly less glossy where you get in and out of the car and where the tires turn, and essentially unchanged everywhere else. Flake blends help here: a broken pattern hides ordinary use far better than a plain color, which shows every scuff on a floor this size.

Can it be re-coated later, or does it all have to come off?

It gets re-coated in place. The wearing surface is abraded and a fresh one goes over the top, with the color and flake untouched underneath. It is a one-day job and it costs a fraction of the original floor, which is the main argument for a system that is built in layers in the first place.

Is there anything that will actually damage it?

Very little in normal use. Battery acid and strong solvents should be wiped up rather than left, and anything sharp being dragged across the floor, a jack stand or a steel shelf leg, will mark it the way it would mark anything. Oil, fuel, coolant and road salt do not, because there is nothing for them to get into.

What does a garage floor coating cost in Sacramento?

Square footage and the state of the slab set the figure, and you get it as one fixed number after the site visit. The more useful figure is the ten-year one: nothing to maintain in between, and a re-coat at the end instead of a replacement.

Sacramento Garage Floor Coatings Overview

A garage floor is one of the few things you buy for a house and then never think about again, provided it was specified to be that way. In Sacramento it spends its life under two cars, a lot of dry summer dust and whatever gets carried in off the driveway, and none of that should require anything from you beyond a broom.

So the questions worth asking are the long ones. How much upkeep is there really. What marks it. What does it look like after a decade of being parked on. And when the wearing surface eventually dulls, does the whole floor come out or does it get re-coated where it stands. Those answers are what this page is about. What actually goes onto the slab is covered on our garage floor coatings page.

What It Is Like to Own

A coated garage floor should ask nothing of you. Here is what that actually looks like over the years you have it.

A broom, and occasionally a hose

That is the whole routine. The surface is non-porous, so dust and grit sit on top of it and sweep straight off, and anything more stubborn comes up with warm water and an ordinary household cleaner. There is nothing to buff and nothing to polish.

Nothing you have to keep buying

There is no annual re-seal, no top-up product and no special cleaner you have to source. A coated floor is finished when it is finished, and the only consumable it ever needs is the water you rinse it with.

What a decade of parking looks like

Wear does not appear under the middle of the car. It shows up where you get in and out, where you walk round the hood and where the tires turn as they come in. Those are small areas, and on a properly built floor a decade of them looks like a slight change in sheen rather than damage.

Marks that come off, and the few that do not

Oil, road grime and the black rubber a tire leaves behind all wipe off, because none of them can soak into anything. Worth knowing: solvents and battery acid are best wiped up rather than left to sit, and dragging a steel jack stand across the floor will always beat a coating.

Re-coated, not ripped out

The color and the flake sit under a clear wearing surface, and it is only that surface which use consumes. When it finally goes flat, the floor is scuffed and re-coated where it lies. Nothing gets ground off, nothing gets replaced, and the garage is back in use in a day.

You keep the specification

The system that went down is named on your warranty document, so anyone re-coating it in eight years knows exactly what is already there. That is the difference between a floor that can be refreshed and one that has to be taken back to concrete first.

How a Sacramento Garage Floor Install Runs

We come and look at it. The floor is measured, the slab and the edges are assessed, and you are told what the preparation involves before there is a number attached to anything.
The blend, off the color chart. Whatever you settle on from our color chart is recorded on the quote with the gloss level and the system, and it is the last decision the job needs from you.
One fixed price. Preparation, repairs, the system, the blend and the warranty are priced as a single figure, with the install date set at the same time.
You clear it, we prepare it. Everything that moves goes out before the morning we arrive: the cars, the bins, the boxes down the side wall. Anything bolted down is coated around on a clean line. Diamond grinding then takes the slab back to bare, open concrete.
Coating, and what you are left with. The floor is coated and broadcast the same day. You are told when it takes foot traffic and when the cars can come back, both in writing, along with a care routine that runs to about two sentences and the warranty naming the system now on your slab.

Why Sacramento Homeowners Choose Us

A Sacramento garage is quoted like any other. We come out and look at the slab before we price it, install it with our own crew, and hand over the same written warranty we would anywhere else. There is no version of this job that is done differently here.
The upkeep really is nothing. We would rather tell you that up front than sell you a maintenance schedule. If a floor needs looking after every spring, something about it was specified wrongly.
It can be brought back years later. A worn wearing surface is a day of work, not a new floor. Because the system is recorded and the color layer is protected underneath, refreshing it costs a fraction of laying it.

Our other garage pages cover Fairfield, Vacaville, Napa, Santa Rosa, Vallejo and San Jose. We also cover Sacramento for commercial epoxy flooring and industrial epoxy flooring.
