Garage floor coating in Florida
Florida asks more of a garage floor than most states do. Sun straight through an open door, air that stays wet for half the year, and a summer storm most afternoons from June to September. We install one system built for that, we publish the price so nobody has to sit in your kitchen to give you one, and we back an interior garage floor for as long as you own the home.

Polyaspartic flake
Why the floor matters more here
A garage floor in Ohio and a garage floor in Florida are not asked to do the same job. These three are the reason we put down polyaspartic and nothing else.
Most of the state sees strong sun all year, not just in summer. Every afternoon it comes in low across the slab the moment the door goes up. Ultraviolet light is what turns a light floor yellow. Polyaspartic is ultraviolet stable, so the color you choose is the color it stays. Epoxy ambers under that light, which is one of the reasons we do not install it.
Concrete is porous, and in Florida the air around it stays humid for months at a time. A garage slab soaks some of that up and gives it back from underneath. A coating that only sits on the surface is the first thing to let go when that happens.
That is why the grind matters more here than anywhere. We diamond grind the slab open so the coating bonds into the concrete instead of resting on it. If a slab is pushing real moisture, we tell you before we start, not halfway through.
Afternoon downpours, hurricane season, beach sand, salt air near the coast and lawn grit from a mower all end up on the garage floor. Bare concrete holds onto it. A sealed flake floor does not, so a hose and a push broom bring it back after the worst week of the year.
Each one in more depth: epoxy against polyaspartic in Florida humidity · moisture in a Florida garage slab · sun, hot tires and yellowing · garage floors after a hurricane or flood · mold and mildew in the garage · salt air and coastal garages.
One system, not a menu
Plenty of companies in Florida will quote you either one and let the price decide. We do not, and this is the whole reason. Read it knowing which side we are on.
Worth checking on any quote you are holding: a quote can say polyaspartic and still put an epoxy base coat underneath it, which is not a polyaspartic floor and does not last like one. Ours is polyaspartic in both coats. Polyaspartic against epoxy side by side.
What a cheap quote skips
The preparation is the part you never see and the part that decides whether the floor is still there in ten years. In a humid state it is also the part that matters most.

Questions

Not an interior garage floor. Polyaspartic is ultraviolet stable, so heat and sun do not amber it, and that is exactly why we use it. Outside is a different question: a lanai, patio or pool deck in full sun is covered for 10 years rather than for life, and out there we do not warrant appearance change from sun and wear.
It causes problems for a coating that only sits on the surface. Florida slabs take on moisture from wet air and wet ground, and a thin roll-on finish lets go first. We diamond grind the slab open so the coating bonds into the concrete, and if a slab is pushing real moisture we tell you before we start.
Usually yes. Normal hairline cracking and small chips get filled and ground flat as part of the preparation, and once the flake is down you will not find them. What a coating cannot do is hold a slab together. If your concrete is actively moving or badly broken up, we will tell you that before you book rather than coat over it.
You can walk on the floor the next morning and the cars go back 48 hours after we finish. The installation process page walks through every step, and most of them happen before any coating is opened.
It depends on how many cars your garage holds, whether the floor was coated before and the color you pick. Rather than publish a range that will be wrong for your garage, the price tool gives you the real number in about a minute with no sales call afterwards.
We do not install epoxy, so we are not a neutral judge here. It is genuinely the cheapest option like for like, and that is a real advantage if the only thing you are weighing is today’s invoice. The problem is that its service life is unpredictable: a few weeks at the bad end and a couple of years at the good end. Polyaspartic lasts 15 to 20 years and does not turn yellow. That is the whole of our case.
Yes. The same polyaspartic system goes down on a lanai, patio or pool deck. Outdoor slabs are covered for 10 years rather than for life, because full Florida sun and standing water are a harder job than the inside of a garage.
Every crew is our own staff, trained in-house on the installation and on how to conduct themselves in somebody’s home. A subcontracted crew is a different company each time with a different standard, which is how two customers of the same company end up with two different floors.
