Choosing a finish

Match the System to the Space, Not the Trend

Flake and quartz put texture in the floor, which is why they run garages, mudrooms, kitchens and wet areas. Solid colour and metallic are smoother and better suited to finished basements, showrooms and offices where the floor is part of the look.

Grind and seal and polished concrete skip the coating entirely and work with the slab itself. They cost less to maintain over time and suit retail, studios and warehouses, but they need concrete that's in decent shape to begin with.

  • Bring the flake and colour samples to your on-site quote
  • Texture can be dialed up or down on most systems
  • Every epoxy system gets a polyaspartic top coat

How it works

Four Steps to a New Floor

  1. 1

    Free on-site quote

    We measure, inspect your concrete and bring samples so you can see the finish in your own light.

  2. 2

    Surface prep and repair

    Cracks, pitting and old coatings are fixed, then the slab is diamond ground so the coating bonds for good.

  3. 3

    Coating and top coat

    Your chosen system goes down, followed by a polyaspartic top coat for UV and chemical protection. We inspect the whole floor before we leave.

  4. 4

    Enjoy your new floor

    Walk on it in 24 hours, park on it in 48.

What Customers Say About Working With Mike

Five-star review
Had the pleasure of having work done by Mike and his crew. They did a fantastic job and Mike was extremely professional and helpful. Once they finished, Mike sent videos and pictures of the entire house and also completed a second clear coating layer as he wasn't 100% happy with the first coat, even though it was not included in the price. Don't bother looking for another epoxy company as you won't find better than Mike.

Spoke with Mike regarding our garage floor and the need to have it completed prior to company arrival. He said one way or another it would be completed and offered a tentative date. The week before, he called to advise they had a reschedule and offered to do ours a week early. Bonus! He arrived the next morning and dug right in. The following morning the final top coat was applied and the job completed. So very pleased with not only the response but the final result. Can't imagine a better job, so thank you one and all!

This company I had a wonderful experience with. They came to our home and explained how the process works, arrived when they said they would, performed the job well and left with a wonderful new basement floor, all cleaned up as professionals should do. Very pleased with the end result. Now for me to install the new trim come this fall. Highly recommend this company.
