Floor Coatings in Palatine, IL

Floor coatings for Palatine garages, basements and shops

We coat garage, basement and shop floors with a polyaspartic flake system, installed by our MK Concrete Coatings crew. The concrete is diamond ground, which we use in place of acid etching on every job, and cracks and pits are repaired next. A moisture vapor barrier epoxy base goes down, flake is broadcast into it to full refusal, and the floor is scraped. The polyaspartic top coat over the flake resists hot tires, road salt and UV.

Palatine is on our regular route, up I-355 and Route 53, with Rand Road, Northwest Highway and Dundee Road getting us across the village. From the Harper College area to downtown Palatine and the Metra station, it is all Cook County, and all of it gets salted roads in winter. If your garage floor has dark stains, white salt rings or a sealer that is peeling, show us at the estimate. Each of those tells us something about the slab, and the grind and repair plan in your written scope accounts for it.

What a Palatine floor coating covers

Samples on your slab

We bring cured flake samples and set them on your floor so you pick a color in the light you actually have.

Grind that removes old sealer

Peeling sealer and the weak top layer come off under diamond tooling, down to sound concrete.

Cracks and salt pits repaired

We fill them and grind them level before any coating goes on.

Vapor barrier under everything

The epoxy base blocks moisture from below and gives the flake something to sit in.

Flake to refusal, then scraped

We broadcast until the base is buried and scrape off what is loose.

Top coat for Palatine winters

Polyaspartic resists road salt, hot tires and UV.

How a Palatine coating job runs

The estimate costs you nothing, and it is where we measure, look over the slab and show you the cured samples. You get a written scope at $8.50 per square foot with a $2,000 minimum, with the repair plan spelled out. If the grind uncovers damage the surface hid, we price it in writing and only fix it after you approve. We work on the days we booked, and the last step is a walkthrough of the finished floor with you.

FAQ

Floor Coatings in Palatine: questions

What do you look at during the estimate?

We measure the floor, look for cracks, pits, stains and old sealer, and talk about how you use the space. Then we set cured flake samples down so you can see the colors before you choose.

Do you work in towns around Palatine?

Yes. Arlington Heights, Rolling Meadows and Hoffman Estates are on our route.

Will Palatine require a permit?

A coating over an existing slab generally does not need a building permit. We check with the village of Palatine before we schedule and pull one if it is needed.

How long until the floor can be used?

You can walk on it after 24 hours. Cars go back in after 72, and we put those dates in writing.

Why is it not a one-day install?

A one-day install leaves no time for the moisture vapor barrier base, which keeps moisture in the slab from lifting the coating. We include that base on every floor. Call or text (815) 585-1750 with any other questions.
