Floor Coatings in Western Springs

Western Springs flake floors on clean, ground concrete

A coating bonds to concrete, not to oil, old paint or sealer, so the first job is getting down to clean slab. Our MK Concrete Coatings crew does that with a diamond grind, never an acid etch, and then repairs the cracks and pits. A moisture vapor barrier epoxy base goes down next, with flake broadcast into it to full refusal and scraped after it cures. A polyaspartic top coat finishes the floor and resists hot tires, road salt and UV.

We reach Western Springs on I-294 and Ogden Avenue and work the streets off Wolf Road, 55th Street and around the Metra station in Cook County. Where an older garage slab has been painted, sealed or soaked with years of drips, the surface is not something a new coating can hold onto. The grinder cuts through the old film and the stained top of the concrete. A deep oil stain may need extra treatment, which we would price in writing first, and once the slab is clean and open, the base can bond the way it is meant to.

From estimate to finished floor in Western Springs

The estimate is free, and we use it to look at what is on the slab now, measure the garage and lay out cured flake samples to compare. Your written scope spells out the grind, the repairs, the color and the price at $8.50 per square foot, $2,000 minimum. Any stain or damage that turns out deeper than expected gets written up and priced, and we wait on your approval. We hold to the booked days and walk the finished floor with you.
