Floor Coatings in Aurora, IL

Aurora floor coatings that start with a diamond grind

How a coating is stuck to the floor matters more than the color on top. Our MK Concrete Coatings crew opens the slab with a diamond grinder, fills the cracks and pits, and lays down an epoxy base that doubles as a moisture vapor barrier. Flake goes into that base wet, to full refusal, and gets scraped clean after it cures. The polyaspartic top coat we finish with resists hot tires, road salt and UV.

We cover Aurora in all four of its counties, from I-88 and Route 59 to Orchard Road, Eola Road and both banks of the Fox River. Garages here take road salt and brine all winter, so the coating has to stay locked to the slab through freeze, thaw and slush. Acid etching, the shortcut some installers use, can leave residue and an uneven surface that a coating cannot grip well. A diamond grind takes the top off the concrete evenly, wall to wall, and gives the base a clean surface to bond to.

What we put into an Aurora floor coating

Wall-to-wall diamond grind

Every square foot gets ground, along the walls and at the door, not just the open middle.

Grinder dust contained

We grind with dust collection and leave the garage cleaner than we found it.

Cracks and pits filled

Patches are ground flush so the base goes over one flat surface.

Moisture vapor barrier

The epoxy base blocks vapor coming up from the ground through the slab.

Flake to refusal

The wet base is buried in flake, then scraped and vacuumed once cured.

Polyaspartic top coat

A clear, hard wearing finish that resists hot tires, salt and UV yellowing.

How an Aurora coating job runs

First we visit for free, measure the floor and bring cured flake samples. Your written estimate shows the square footage at $8.50 per square foot, with a $2,000 minimum, and the repairs we can already see. If the grinder turns up a soft spot or a crack that runs deeper, we show you and price the fix in writing before we go on. We set the days with you, keep to them, and walk the floor with you when the top coat is down.

FAQ

Floor Coatings in Aurora: questions

What is wrong with acid etching a garage floor?

Acid can leave residue in the concrete and etch it unevenly, and a coating needs a clean, even surface to bond. Diamond grinding gives it that, so it is the only prep we use.

Can you coat a basement or a shop, not just a garage?

Yes. The same system goes on basement and shop floors, and the vapor barrier base matters even more on a slab below grade.

Does the city of Aurora require a permit for a floor coating?

Usually not for coating an existing slab. If your project includes other work the city of Aurora requires a permit for, we pull it.

How long until the garage is usable?

You can walk on it after 24 hours and drive on it after 72. Call or text (815) 585-1750 and we will set the install days.

Do you cover towns around Aurora?

Yes. We also coat floors in Montgomery, Oswego, Warrenville and Naperville.
