Coating a Garage You Just Moved Into

In Pine Township, epoxy flooring often lands on garage slabs just a few years old, sometimes only a few months. The township had 4,048 residents in 1990, 7,683 in 2000 and 11,497 in 2010, with growth of 89.8% and then 49.6% across those decades. New construction has kept coming since.

How long to wait on new concrete

A newly poured slab is full of water. It needs time to dry before a coating goes on, and that time depends on slab thickness, weather and whether the garage is closed up. We test rather than guessing from the closing date. If the slab is not ready, we will tell you to wait. A floor coated too early can bubble or lose adhesion.

Builder finishes get in the way

Many builders spray a curing compound or clear sealer on a garage slab. It looks like bare concrete but blocks a primer from soaking in. Grinding removes it. We also look for the hairline shrinkage cracks that appear as new slabs cure, and fill them so they stay hidden under the finished coat.

Room for a growing household

In the 2000 census, households averaged 3.14 people, larger than in many nearby communities. Garages here store strollers, sports gear and second fridges along with cars. A light chip blend brightens the room, and a coated floor makes spills from that second fridge easy to wipe up.

Winter on higher ground

The township sits at about 1,129 feet. Snow and slush come in on tires all winter, and salt residue builds up by spring. A sealed surface keeps that brine from soaking into a new slab, which protects your investment from day one.

Pine Township Questions

How soon after closing can we coat a new garage floor?

It depends on how dry the slab is, not the calendar. We take a moisture reading and tell you whether to go ahead now or wait a few weeks.

Our builder said the garage was sealed. Is that a problem?

Only in that it has to come off. Factory or builder sealers block primers, so we grind the floor to open it up before coating.

Can you fix the small cracks that showed up in our new slab?

Yes. Shrinkage cracks are normal in new concrete. We fill them during prep so they do not show in the finished floor.

Is a coating worth it on a slab that still looks perfect?

Many owners coat early because it is easier to protect clean concrete than restore stained concrete later. Salt and oil start working into bare slabs the first winter.
