OUR PROMISE

We prep the concrete right, apply three full coats,
and stand behind every floor we install.

Epoxy fails when prep is skipped. We grind and profile every slab, test for moisture, fill cracks, then apply the full system. That’s why our floors look good five years in while DIY kits peel in the first winter.

HOW IT WORKS

From Bare Concrete to Finished Floor

Professional epoxy installation in three straightforward steps.

01

Free Estimate & Inspection

We assess the slab condition, check for moisture, identify cracks or spalls, and give you a firm price before any work starts. No guesswork on final cost.

02

Surface Prep & Crack Repair

Diamond grinding opens the concrete pores for proper adhesion. We fill cracks and spalls with repair compound. This step is what separates a lasting floor from one that peels in 18 months.

03

Three-Coat Application

Primer coat, broadcast layer (chip or metallic), and UV-stable polyurethane topcoat. Cure time varies by product — most floors are ready to walk on in 24 hours and light vehicle traffic in 72.

LOCAL KNOWLEDGE

Why Peoria’s Freeze-Thaw Cycles Destroy Untreated Concrete Floors

Central Illinois winters are hard on concrete. Here’s what homeowners are dealing with across Peoria County — and how epoxy addresses each problem.

Freeze-Thaw Spalling

Peoria averages 18–22 freeze-thaw cycles per winter. Water penetrates uncoated slabs, freezes, expands, and pops the surface. Epoxy seals the pores and stops the cycle.

De-Icing Salt Damage

Road salt tracked in from Illinois highways accelerates concrete degradation. Epoxy creates a chemical-resistant barrier that keeps salt and melt products from attacking the slab.

Older Slab Construction

Many Peoria homes from the 1950s–1980s have lower-strength slabs poured without vapor barriers. Moisture vapor drive can be significant — we test for it before any coating goes down.

Hot Summer Expansion

Peoria summer temps regularly exceed 90F. UV-unstable coatings yellow and delaminate. We exclusively use UV-stable polyurethane topcoats that maintain color and adhesion through heat cycles.

"Had our two-car garage done last fall. The floor went from cracked bare concrete to something that looks like a showroom. Crew was on time, prep work was thorough, finished in one day."

"Price was competitive and the work is excellent. Three coats, chip system, polyurethane topcoat. I've had epoxy done by two other places and this is noticeably better prep work. Highly recommend."

"Got the metallic finish for our garage in Peoria Heights. Absolutely beautiful. Several neighbors have stopped by to ask who did it. The teal finish with silver swirls is exactly what I wanted."

"Hired them to coat our basement floor in Washington. They came out the day before to check moisture levels, rescheduled once to let the slab dry properly, and the result is flawless. Three years later it still looks brand new."

ABOUT US

Locally Owned & Operated in Peoria for 19+ Years

We started coating floors in the Peoria area when epoxy was still a specialty product that most homeowners hadn’t heard of. We’ve watched the market fill up with weekend crews selling budget kits, and it’s why we put so much emphasis on surface prep — that’s what separates a floor that lasts from one that peels.

We know the local conditions: the moisture levels in Peoria-area basements, the slab age in East Peoria neighborhoods, the salt and road chemical exposure that attached garages see during Illinois winters. Every project gets assessed on its own.

Our work goes on floors in homes from Dunlap to Washington, garages in Chillicothe, and commercial spaces throughout Peoria County. We don’t subcontract — the crew that shows up is our crew.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

Epoxy Coating vs Polyaspartic Coating — Which Is Right for You?

Epoxy and polyaspartic coatings are both premium garage floor solutions — but they have real differences in cure time, durability, UV stability, and cost that matter for Peoria, IL homeowners navigating hot summers and brutal winter freeze-thaw cycles.

What Is Epoxy Coating?

Epoxy floor coating is a two-part system (resin + hardener) that chemically bonds to concrete. It creates a thick, hard surface that's highly resistant to chemicals, oil, and abrasion.

What Is Polyaspartic Coating?

Polyaspartic is a newer aliphatic polyurea coating that outperforms epoxy on several metrics: it cures much faster, has better UV stability, and can be applied in a wider temperature range.

Side-by-Side Comparison

Factor Epoxy Coating Polyaspartic Coating
Best For Budget-conscious homeowners, basements with minimal UV exposure, commercial spaces with heavy equipment traffic Garage floors with direct sunlight exposure, customers who need the space back same day, temperature extremes (can be applied in near-freezing conditions)
Pros
  • Lower upfront cost
  • Extremely durable under heavy equipment loads
  • Thick film builds up high-build protection
  • UV-stable — won't yellow in sunlit garages
  • Cures in hours, not days
  • More flexible — less prone to cracking in freeze-thaw cycles
Cons
  • Yellows and chalks with direct UV exposure over time
  • Longer cure time (24-72 hours before foot traffic)
  • Cold temperatures slow or prevent proper curing
  • Higher material cost
  • Less working time during application (requires experienced installer)
  • Overkill for covered basements with zero UV exposure

When to Choose Epoxy Coating

Epoxy floor coating is a two-part system (resin + hardener) that chemically bonds to concrete. It creates a thick, hard surface that's highly resistant to chemicals, oil, and abrasion. Budget-conscious homeowners situations are where epoxy coating consistently outperforms the alternative. If your situation matches these conditions, epoxy coating is likely the right call.

When to Choose Polyaspartic Coating

Polyaspartic is a newer aliphatic polyurea coating that outperforms epoxy on several metrics: it cures much faster, has better UV stability, and can be applied in a wider temperature range. Garage floors with direct sunlight exposure scenarios favor polyaspartic coating. Understanding when polyaspartic coating is the right tool saves both time and money.

Our Recommendation

For most Peoria garages with any amount of sunlight, polyaspartic is worth the premium. Epoxy yellowing in a UV-exposed garage floor is one of the most common client complaints we see. For basements or covered spaces, epoxy delivers excellent value.

Not Sure Which Option Is Right?

Call us and describe your situation. We’ll give you an honest recommendation before you commit to anything — no sales pressure.
