Your Palos Heights garage floor gets ground with diamonds, not washed with acid, so the coating grips the concrete and stays put.
We install polyaspartic flake floors with our MK Concrete Coatings crew, which is part of ONIT Solutions. Before anything is applied, the slab is diamond ground and the cracks and pits are repaired. Then the crew rolls a moisture vapor barrier epoxy base and broadcasts flake into it, wet, to full refusal. They scrape off what did not stick and finish with a polyaspartic top coat that resists hot tires, salt and UV.
Palos Heights is on our regular route, reached on Route 83, Harlem Avenue, 127th Street and Ridgeland Avenue, in Cook County next to Palos Park and Orland Park. Ask any coating installer how they prep the slab, and the answer tells you how long the floor will last. Acid only roughens what it touches and can leave residue behind, so the coating bonds unevenly. A diamond grind takes the whole surface down to clean concrete with a consistent profile, and on a garage that has taken years of salt and oil, it also removes the contaminated top layer.
The whole slab is ground, edges included, so there is no weak strip for the coating to lift from.
We do not acid etch, because it leaves an uneven surface and residue that work against the bond.
Damaged concrete is filled and ground flush with the rest of the floor.
The epoxy base holds back moisture from the slab, and it is the layer one-day systems leave out.
Flake goes on to full refusal, and scraping knocks down loose chips and high spots.
The final coat seals everything and stands up to hot tires, road salt and UV.
We start with a free estimate on site, measuring the floor and setting cured flake samples down so you can choose a blend. The written estimate uses $8.50 per square foot, with a $2,000 minimum, and lists each step. If the grind exposes damage beyond what we planned, we write up the cost and wait for your approval. The install happens on the days we booked, and we walk the floor with you when it is done.
