Floor Coatings in Arlington Heights, IL

Garage floor coatings in Arlington Heights

Our MK Concrete Coatings crew installs polyaspartic flake floors in garages, basements and shops. The slab is diamond ground, never acid etched, and every crack and pit is repaired. Then comes the moisture vapor barrier epoxy base, the step one-day installers skip, with flake broadcast into it to full refusal. We scrape the floor and finish it with a polyaspartic top coat that resists hot tires, road salt and UV.

Arlington Heights is on our regular route, up Route 53 and across on Arlington Heights Road and Northwest Highway. It is a Cook County village with a well-known downtown and a Metra station at its center. If you commute on Metra, the 72 hours your car stays out of the garage may barely register, and if you drive every day, we plan the work so you know which nights the car sits in the driveway. Either way, you get the cure dates in writing before we start, because a floor driven on too soon can mark.

What an Arlington Heights coating includes

Written cure dates

We tell you in writing when you can walk on the floor and when the car can go back in.

Bare concrete to bond to

The grinder opens the slab and lifts old sealers so the base bonds to concrete, not to whatever sat on it.

Slab damage fixed first

We fill and level the damage so the floor reads flat once the flake is down.

Barrier against slab moisture

An epoxy coat that blocks moisture from below and holds the flake.

Broadcast and scrape

Flake goes in to full refusal, and we scrape off the loose chips once it sets.

A top coat that takes it

The finish coat resists hot tires, road salt and UV, the three things a garage floor takes every year.

How an Arlington Heights floor job runs

We set a free estimate, measure the floor and bring cured flake samples for you to look at in your own garage. The written scope lists each step and the cure dates, priced at $8.50 per square foot with a $2,000 minimum. Anything that changes after the grind is priced in writing, and you approve it before we do the work. We stick to the days we gave you and walk the floor with you at the end.

FAQ

Floor Coatings in Arlington Heights: questions

Where does my car go while the floor cures?

It stays out of the garage until 72 hours after we finish. Foot traffic is fine after 24 hours, so you can use the garage door to the house before the car can come back.

Do you coat floors near Arlington Heights?

Yes. Palatine, Rolling Meadows and Rosemont are on our route, and so is Schaumburg.

Does Arlington Heights require a permit for a floor coating?

Coating an existing slab generally does not need a building permit. We check with the village of Arlington Heights before we schedule, and we pull one if it is required.

Why don't you sell one-day coatings?

To finish in one day, those systems leave out the moisture vapor barrier base. That base is what keeps moisture in the slab from lifting the floor, so we put it under every floor we do.

How do I book?

Call or text (815) 585-1750. Floors are $8.50 per square foot with a $2,000 minimum, and the estimate is free.
