A garage floor coating built for Houston heat

An epoxy garage floor turns a dusty, stained slab into a hard surface you can mop clean. We coat two-car and three-car garages across Greater Houston, from our west Houston base out to Katy and Cypress. The usual build is full flake over an epoxy base with a clear topcoat. See the color blends on our flake epoxy floors page.

Epoxy One has installed floor coatings in Houston since 2008, more than 3.5 million square feet across Greater Houston. Four crews run the work, and we are rated 4.6 by 140 Google reviewers. Estimates are free and start with a look at your slab. Call or text (281) 831-5656.

What We Handle

  • Diamond grinding that opens the slab down to clean concrete
  • Crack and control joint repair before any coating goes down
  • A moisture test on every garage, with a vapor barrier primer when the reading calls for it
  • A 100 percent solids epoxy base coat under a clear polyaspartic or polyurethane topcoat
  • Full flake, solid color and metallic finishes, with samples to look at in your own light
  • Hot-tire pickup resistance and a surface that wipes up oil instead of soaking it in
  • Two-car and three-car garages, plus workshops and home gyms
  • New custom home garages coordinated around the builder's other trades

Is garage floor paint worth it, or do you need a coating?

Garage floor paint is a thin film you roll on. Most do it yourself kits are mostly latex with a small share of epoxy in them. The film sits on top of the slab instead of bonding into it. That is why it lifts where the tires park.

Tires do the damage. Rubber heats up on a Houston drive, then contracts as it cools in your garage. The cooling tire grabs a weak film and pulls it off the concrete. Warm tires also give off plasticizers that soften a low grade coating.

A coating system works differently. We grind the concrete open first, then bond a 100 percent solids epoxy into it. The clear topcoat over that takes the wear. You clean the floor with a dust mop and a wet mop.

Day one and day two of a garage floor coating

Day one is prep. We diamond grind the slab to bare concrete, which takes off old paint, glue and sealer. Cracks and control joints get filled and sanded flat. A moisture test then shows how much water vapor is moving up through the slab.

When the reading is high, a moisture vapor barrier primer goes down before the base coat. Houston slabs sit over damp clay, so we test every garage. One customer wrote in a Google review that a vapor barrier was recommended for his floor first.

Day two is color. The epoxy base coat goes down and the flake is broadcast into it while the epoxy is wet. A clear topcoat locks the finish in. When a schedule needs a one day install, we can build the whole floor with polyurea floor coatings or polyaspartic.

Garage flooring built for Houston heat and new custom homes

Houston stays humid most of the year and garage slabs run well past 90 degrees in summer. Garage doors face the sun for hours at a stretch. Plain epoxy yellows in that light, so the top layer has to be UV stable. We finish with a polyurethane or a polyaspartic topcoat over the epoxy base.

Most Houston homes sit on slab-on-grade over Gulf Coast clay. That clay swells with rain and shrinks in a dry spell, so slabs move and hairline cracks open. We fill those before coating. Moisture rising through the slab is the top reason floor coatings fail here.

We coat garages in new custom homes for about 200 Houston area builders. Fresh concrete has to cure before a coating will bond, so we time the garage around the build. An employee of one custom home builder wrote that our crews always leave the site clean. The work is backed by a written warranty, so ask us for the terms.

Call or text

Reach us at (281) 831-5656 and tell us about the floor. We book estimates on weekdays.

2

Free on-site estimate

We measure the slab, look at its condition and run a moisture test. Then you get a quote for the system we recommend.

3

Color and finish

Pick the color and finish from samples. Options include full flake, solid color, quartz and metallic.

4

Prep and coats

We diamond grind the slab and repair cracks and joints. A vapor barrier primer goes down when the moisture test calls for it. Then comes the base coat, the flake or pigment broadcast, and the clear topcoat.

5

Cure and walk-through

Most garages are a two-day job, and a metallic floor takes about three days. We do a final walk-through and tell you when to drive on the floor.

FAQ

Garage Floors Questions, Answered

Common questions about garage floors across west Houston, the suburbs and up to The Woodlands. If yours is not here, call or text and ask.

Call (281) 831-5656

How long does an epoxy garage floor take?
Most two-car and three-car garages are a two-day job. Day one is grinding, crack repair and the moisture test. Day two is the base coat, the flake and the clear topcoat. A metallic floor runs about three days, since the pattern is worked by hand.
What does an epoxy garage floor cost?
Price comes down to the square footage and the shape the slab is in. A slab that needs an old coating ground off, or a vapor barrier primer, is more work. The finish matters too, since a hand worked metallic floor takes longer than flake. Estimates are free, so call or text (281) 831-5656 and we will look at the garage.
Will hot tires lift the coating?
Hot tire pickup happens when warm rubber grabs a thin film and pulls it off the slab. That is mostly a paint problem. We grind the concrete first so the epoxy bonds down into the surface. The clear topcoat then handles the heat coming off a car in a Houston summer.
Do you test for moisture before coating a garage?
Yes, every garage gets a moisture test. Water vapor moving up through the slab is the number one reason coatings fail in Houston. When the reading is high, we prime with a moisture vapor barrier before the base coat. Skipping that step is how a floor ends up peeling a year later.
What is the best finish for a garage floor?
Full flake is the most common finish in Houston garages. The chips hide slab flaws and add grip underfoot, and they come in dozens of blends. Solid color reads clean and simple in gloss, satin or flat. A metallic epoxy floor gives a marbled look that is one of a kind.
Can you coat the patio or driveway at the same time?
Yes. We coat porches, patios and driveways along with the garage. One Google reviewer had us do both his garage and his backyard patio. Outdoor concrete is often a better fit for stained concrete floors, which we can price on the same visit.
