Floor Coatings in Darien

Get a coating that bonds into the concrete instead of sitting on top of it, so it does not peel at the tire lines. We cover Darien.

Darien garage floor coatings that start with a diamond grind

If you have seen a garage coating peel in sheets where the tires park, the prep was usually the problem. We diamond grind every slab, never acid etch, and repair the cracks and pits so the base bonds to clean, open concrete. That base is a moisture vapor barrier epoxy, and flake is broadcast into it until it refuses more, then scraped. A polyaspartic top coat goes over the flake and resists hot tires, road salt and UV. Our MK Concrete Coatings crew installs it.

Darien is on our regular route off I-55 and Route 83, and we work the streets along 75th Street and Cass Avenue in DuPage County. If your garage already has a painted or rolled-on coating that is flaking, it has to come off before anything new goes down. The diamond grinder takes off the old coating and the weak top layer of concrete with it. Coating over a failing floor only gives the new floor the same weak spot to let go from.

What a Darien coating job covers

Old coating removal

If the slab has failing paint or a rolled-on coating, the grinder takes it off down to sound concrete.

Diamond grinding

We grind the full slab for an open profile the base can grab. Acid etching never touches it.

Crack and pit repair

Cracks and pits are filled and ground down flush before coating.

Moisture vapor barrier base

An epoxy base blocks rising slab moisture. A one-day install leaves this step out.

Flake broadcast and scrape

Flake goes in to full refusal, and we scrape the cured surface smooth.

Polyaspartic top coat

The clear coat takes hot tires, road salt and UV, and it is the part of the floor you clean.

How we price and run a Darien floor

We come out free, measure the garage and check the condition of the slab and anything already on it. Your written scope shows the square footage at $8.50 per square foot, a $2,000 minimum, and the repairs we found. If the grind turns up a problem under the old coating, we put the fix and its price in writing and wait for your okay. On the last day we walk the floor with you and go over the 24-hour and 72-hour cure times.

  • We check what is already on your slab at the estimate
  • Old failing coatings are ground off, not covered
  • The scope and the price come in writing
  • Repairs beyond the scope need your approval
  • We broadcast flake until the base takes no more
  • Our 10-year warranty on the work is written down

FAQ

Floor Coatings in Darien: questions

Do you coat floors in towns around Darien?
We do. We install flake floors in Willowbrook, Westmont, Burr Ridge and Downers Grove too.
Why do you grind instead of acid etching?
Acid etching leaves an uneven surface and residue the base has a hard time gripping. A diamond grind opens the concrete evenly and gives the base a clean surface to bond to.
Do I need a Darien permit for a garage floor coating?
Most garage floor coatings are not permit work, since nothing structural changes. We confirm with the city of Darien before the job and pull a permit if it asks for one.
How soon can I park in the garage?
Walk on the floor after 24 hours and pull the car in after 72. We tell you the install days up front so you can plan.
How do I get a written price?
Call or text (815) 585-1750. We will set a time to measure, bring flake samples and write it up at $8.50 per square foot with a $2,000 minimum.
