Epoxy Flooring in Peoria, IL

A standard 2-car garage (400–500 sq ft) with a full 3-coat epoxy system runs $1,200–$2,800 in Peoria depending on slab condition and finish type. Metallic finishes run higher ($2,500–$4,000 for the same size) due to materials and technique. Commercial floors are quoted per project based on square footage and conditions. We provide itemized estimates for every job.

Epoxy adhesion depends entirely on the concrete surface being open and clean. If the slab is smooth (from polishing or old sealer), acid-washed instead of ground, or retains moisture vapor, the coating will delaminate. We use diamond grinders to create the proper surface profile and test for moisture vapor emission before any material goes down. Skipping this is why most peeling floors fail.

Light foot traffic is typically safe after 24 hours. Vehicle traffic (including cars pulling in) should wait 72 hours. Heavy vehicles or continuous industrial use should wait 7 full days for maximum cure strength. We schedule installs with this timeline in mind and let you know the exact windows for your specific product system before we start.

Epoxy is a 2-part system (resin + hardener) that creates a thick, durable coating with excellent chemical resistance. Polyurea cures faster (hours vs. days) and is more flexible, making it better for applications with significant temperature swings or concrete movement. For most Peoria residential garages, an epoxy system with a polyurethane topcoat is the right solution. We discuss both options on every estimate.

In some cases, yes — but it depends on the adhesion of the existing coating and what it is. We test adhesion before quoting over an existing layer. If the old coating is failing or peeling, it has to come off first. Attempting to coat over a failing floor is one of the most common reasons homeowners end up paying twice for the same job.

Yes. We coat warehouses, auto shops, light manufacturing, retail floors, and showrooms throughout Peoria County. Commercial projects are quoted by square footage with inspection included. We schedule commercial work around business hours when possible and can do after-hours installs for spaces that can’t shut down during the day.
