A diamond-ground, flake-broadcast, polyaspartic-sealed epoxy system. The flagship coating for Chattanooga garages, built to last 15 years and beyond.
Diamond-Ground | Moisture Tested | Full-Broadcast Flake
An epoxy garage floor coating is a multi-layer resin system applied over prepared concrete. The base is a two-part epoxy that combines a resin and a hardener at the time of mixing and chemically cures into a hard, dense film. On top of the base coat, most Chattanooga floors get a broadcast of vinyl color chips, also called flakes, which add color, hide minor slab imperfections, and provide slip resistance. The whole system is sealed with a clear polyaspartic or polyurethane topcoat that locks the flake in and gives the floor its glossy finish.
Done correctly, the result is a single bonded surface that is easier to clean than tile, more durable than paint, and a real upgrade from bare concrete. It resists oil, gasoline, brake fluid, household cleaners, road salt, and the constant abrasion of car tires, dropped tools, and rolling cabinets.
We start by diamond grinding the entire slab, which mechanically opens the concrete profile so the epoxy can bond. This step removes old paints, sealers, dust, and surface laitance. Grinding is the single most important step in any epoxy job, and it is the step that hardware-store kits skip.
Structural cracks get chased open and filled with a structural polyurea. Control joints are addressed based on the floor and the homeowner's preference. Pits, spalls, and divots are patched. Moisture is tested. If your slab needs a moisture-mitigation primer, you get one before the base coat goes down.
We mix the epoxy on site and roll it over the prepared concrete at the spec rate. The product is professional-grade, not a thinned hardware-store kit. Within working time we broadcast vinyl flakes into the wet resin to refusal, which is the term for fully covering the surface.
Once the base coat is cured, we scrape down the loose flake, vacuum the floor clean, and apply a clear polyaspartic or polyurethane topcoat. This locks the flake in, delivers the glossy finish, and gives the floor its chemical, UV, and abrasion resistance.
Chattanooga's humid subtropical climate is rough on concrete. Bare slabs dust and stain. Hardware-store kits applied to unprepped concrete fail by the second summer. Roll-on garage paints peel under hot tires. An epoxy system installed with diamond-ground prep behaves differently. The bond is mechanical, the topcoat handles UV, and the flake hides the small imperfections any older slab will have. Most local homeowners pick a flake epoxy system the first time, and pick it again when they buy their next house.
We offer pre-mixed flake blends in dozens of color combinations: classic grays, warm tans, beach blends, navy and tan combos, charcoal, and bold custom palettes. The flake broadcast is full coverage, so your finished floor is dominated by the flake color and pattern. If you want something different, we also install solid color epoxy and pigmented metallic epoxy. The flagship flake system is the most popular finish across Chattanooga garages by a wide margin.
For most Chattanooga homes, a full epoxy and polyaspartic system runs roughly $5 to $9 per square foot installed. A typical two-car garage lands between $2,400 and $4,500. Three-car garages, larger workshops, and slabs that need significant concrete repair push higher.
