Epoxy or polyaspartic?

What "epoxy garage floor" means at GRIT.

Most homeowners call any coated garage floor an "epoxy floor," and that's usually how they search for one. Epoxy and polyaspartic are both two-part coatings that bond to concrete.

As a garage floor coating contractor based in Ocean Isle Beach, GRIT coats garages throughout Brunswick County and the Grand Strand, and travels farther for the right project.

GRIT installs the RockHard XPS polyaspartic coating system with Fast Cure MVB. Polyaspartic coatings are known for curing faster than traditional epoxy, which is a big part of how GRIT completes residential garage installations in one day. The finish is UV-protected and non-yellowing, so it holds its color when the garage door is open to the sun.

Preparation

A coating is only as good as the concrete under it.

Garage slabs carry oil, tire residue, old sealers and a smooth surface that coatings can't grip. GRIT grinds the concrete with professional equipment to open it up, and captures the dust with HEPA-filtered vacuums.

Cracks, stains and any existing coating are assessed during your on-site estimate, so you know how your slab will be handled before installation day.

Our installation process

Color choices

Pick your blend in person.

Flake color looks different on a screen than on your floor. We bring physical color samples to your free on-site estimate so you can see them in your own garage light.

Care

Easy to live with.

A sealed flake floor doesn't hold dust and stains the way bare concrete does. Regular sweeping and a damp mop handle most everyday dirt.

At your final walkthrough, GRIT gives you care instructions for your floor, including when it's ready for foot traffic and vehicles.

Garage floor questions

How long does a garage floor coating take?

Residential garage installations are completed in one day. We'll tell you exactly when you can walk on the floor and park on it at the final walkthrough.

Is it the same as a DIY epoxy kit?

No. GRIT installs a professional polyaspartic system over concrete that has been mechanically ground with professional equipment. Surface preparation is the step most responsible for how well a coating bonds.

Can you coat a garage floor with cracks or oil stains?

Cracks, stains and existing coatings are evaluated during your free on-site estimate. We'll explain how your slab will be prepared before any work is scheduled.

Will the floor be slippery when it's wet?

Slip-resistant options are available. Ask about them during your estimate, especially for garages where cars bring in rain.

What does a garage floor coating cost?

Price depends on the size of the garage, the condition of the concrete and the finish you choose. Your free on-site estimate includes a measured price.
