Floor Coatings in Hinsdale

Get a garage floor built with every layer it needs, including the moisture barrier one-day installs leave out. We work in Hinsdale every week.

Hinsdale garage floors done in full, not in a day

We do not sell one-day floors, and the reason is one layer. A one-day install skips the moisture vapor barrier epoxy base, and that base is what keeps moisture in the slab from pushing the coating loose. Our MK Concrete Coatings crew diamond grinds the slab, repairs cracks and pits, rolls that base, and broadcasts flake into it to full refusal. After the flake is scraped, the polyaspartic top coat goes on and resists hot tires, road salt and UV.

We reach Hinsdale on I-294 and Ogden Avenue and work from York Road to County Line Road, including the blocks around downtown and the Metra station in DuPage County. If your garage is detached at the back of the lot or tucked under the house, the slab still sits on the ground and still moves moisture through it. The way to keep a coating bonded is to put a barrier between the concrete and the color. That barrier needs cure time, which is why foot traffic waits 24 hours and vehicles wait 72.

Floor Coatings by ONIT Solutions

Every layer in a Hinsdale flake floor

Diamond grind

We grind the concrete open with diamond tooling. Acid etching is never part of our process.

Crack and pit repair

Cracks and pits get filled and ground flat so the surface is sound before coating.

Vapor barrier base

This epoxy layer keeps slab moisture from lifting the floor, and it is the one a one-day job leaves out.

Flake to refusal

Flake is thrown into the wet epoxy until the base refuses any more.

Scraped flake

We scrape the cured flake so the top coat lays down over an even surface.

Polyaspartic top coat

The top coat resists hot tires, road salt and UV, and it is the surface you live on.

How a Hinsdale floor coating runs

We visit for a free estimate, measure the slab and bring cured flake samples you can see in your garage. You get a written scope with the repairs, the color and the price at $8.50 per square foot, $2,000 minimum. If the grind shows a crack or soft spot that changes the scope, we write up the change and its price and wait for you to approve it. We book the install days with the cure time built in, and we walk the floor with you when it is ready to walk on.

  • Every floor gets the vapor barrier base
  • Cure time is built into the schedule
  • Our grind uses diamonds, not acid
  • You see flake samples before you choose
  • Price, color and repairs are all in writing
  • A 10-year written workmanship warranty covers it

FAQ

Floor Coatings in Hinsdale: questions

Do you coat garage floors near Hinsdale?
Yes. We work in Clarendon Hills, Western Springs, Oak Brook and Burr Ridge with the same system.
Why not do the floor in one day?
Finishing in a day means leaving out the moisture vapor barrier base. That base keeps the coating bonded when moisture moves up through the slab, so we install it on every floor and give it time to cure.
Do I need a permit from Hinsdale for a floor coating?
We check with the village of Hinsdale before every job. A coating on an existing slab is not usually permit work, and when a permit is required, we pull it.
How long am I without the garage?
You can walk on the floor 24 hours after we finish and drive on it after 72. We give you the dates when we book.
How do I set up an estimate?
Call or text (815) 585-1750. We will come out, measure, show you samples and write the price.
