Floor Coatings in Downers Grove

Get a garage or shop floor you can drop a wrench on, roll a toolbox across and hose the salt off. We work in Downers Grove every week.

Downers Grove flake floors for garages, shops and basements

We coat garage, basement and shop floors with a polyaspartic flake system, installed by our MK Concrete Coatings crew. It starts with a diamond grind and crack and pit repair, never an acid etch. Next is the moisture vapor barrier epoxy base, the step one-day installers skip, with flake broadcast into it to full refusal. After a scrape, the polyaspartic top coat goes on and gives the floor its resistance to hot tires, road salt and UV.

We reach Downers Grove on I-88 and I-355 and work the blocks off Ogden Avenue and Butterfield Road, plus the streets around Main Street and the Metra station downtown. If your garage is detached at the back of the lot, its slab may be poured right on grade and may have settled and cracked over the years. If it doubles as a workshop, it also takes oil, solvents and dropped tools. We repair the cracks before coating, and the flake layer and top coat give you a surface that wipes up oil drips instead of soaking them in.

Inside a Downers Grove floor coating

Grinding with diamond tooling

We cut the slab open with diamonds so the base can bond. We never use an acid etch.

Repairs for settled cracks

Cracks from settling, pits and spalled spots are filled and ground flat before we coat.

Vapor barrier base coat

The epoxy base keeps slab moisture from lifting the floor, which matters on a slab poured straight on grade.

Flake to full refusal

We broadcast flake into the wet base until it is fully covered, edge to edge.

Scrape before top coat

We scrape the cured flake so the top coat goes on flat and even.

Polyaspartic finish

The top coat resists hot tires, road salt and UV, and it wipes clean after a messy project.

How we schedule a Downers Grove coating

The estimate is free and on site, where we measure, look at the cracks and show you cured flake samples to compare. We send a written scope with the square footage, repairs and price, at $8.50 per square foot and a $2,000 minimum. Anything new that turns up during the grind is priced in writing, and it waits for your approval. We book the install days in advance and hold to them, then walk the finished floor with you.

FAQ

Floor Coatings in Downers Grove: questions

Do you coat floors near Downers Grove?
Yes. We do the same floors in Westmont, Lisle, Woodridge and Lombard.
Can you coat a detached garage?
Yes. A detached garage slab gets the same grind, crack repair and vapor barrier base as an attached one. We look at how much it has cracked at the estimate.
Do I need a permit from Downers Grove?
Coating an existing slab usually does not require a permit. We check with the village and pull one if it is needed.
Can I use the garage as a workshop right after?
Give it 24 hours before you walk on it and 72 hours before you roll a car or a loaded cart in. After that it is ready for regular use.
How do I book an estimate?
Call or text (815) 585-1750 and tell us the size of the garage. We will set a time to measure and bring samples.
