Garage Floor Coatings Designed Around Your Concrete
That is why we start by looking at the actual concrete rather than treating every garage as the same project.
Depending on the floor and the desired result, your system may incorporate epoxy, polyaspartic materials, decorative flakes and a protective topcoat. We’ll discuss the available options and explain what makes sense for your garage before installation begins.
Why Surface Preparation Matters
A floor coating is only one part of the installation. The condition and preparation of the concrete underneath it matter as well.
Existing paint, coatings, contaminants, cracks and other surface conditions need to be evaluated before a new system is applied. Depending on what we find, preparation may include mechanical surface preparation and appropriate repair work before the coating system is installed.
Proper preparation helps create the surface profile required by the products being used.
For more information about recognized concrete surface preparation standards, see the International Concrete Repair Institute’s concrete surface profile guidance.
We don’t promise that every slab requires exactly the same preparation. We determine the appropriate process from the condition of the concrete and the coating system being installed.
Epoxy Garage Flooring in Raeford: Available Finishes
Garage flooring doesn’t have to look like plain gray concrete. The coating system can be selected around both the appearance you want and the way you use the space.
Decorative Flake Garage Floors
Decorative flakes add color and visual texture to a garage-floor system. Different flake blends and finishes allow the floor to complement the garage, vehicles and surrounding areas.
A flake system can be a good option for homeowners who want a finished garage appearance without the highly decorative movement of metallic epoxy.
Metallic Epoxy
Metallic epoxy creates flowing patterns and variations across the floor. Because the appearance develops during installation, each finished floor can have its own visual character.
Metallic systems are generally selected when appearance is a major part of the project.
Epoxy and Polyaspartic Options
Epoxy and polyaspartic are different coating materials with different characteristics and potential uses within a flooring system.
Rather than assuming one material is best for every garage, we consider the existing concrete, installation requirements, desired finish and intended use of the space.
Our Garage Floor Installation Process
The exact installation sequence depends on the concrete and the system selected, but a typical project involves several important stages.
1. Inspect the Existing Concrete
We look at the condition of the slab, including visible cracks, existing coatings, damaged areas and other conditions that may affect the project.
2. Prepare the Surface
The concrete is prepared as required for the selected coating system. Existing coatings or contaminants may require additional preparation.
3. Address Necessary Repairs
Cracks and damaged areas are evaluated and addressed where appropriate before the coating system is completed.
4. Apply the Selected Flooring System
The coating layers are installed according to the products and finish chosen for the project. Decorative flakes or other design components are incorporated where applicable.
5. Complete the Finished Surface
The final surface is completed according to the selected system. We’ll also explain the appropriate cure and return-to-service requirements for the products installed.
Because products, temperatures and project conditions vary, we provide the actual return-to-use timeline for your specific floor rather than promising the same timeframe for every installation.
What About Cracks in the Concrete?
Cracks are common in concrete, but they are not all identical.
Before coating a garage floor, we evaluate visible cracks and damaged areas to determine what preparation or repair may be appropriate. A coating should not be presented as a way to guarantee that concrete will never crack or move again.
If your Raeford garage already has cracks, previous repairs or an older coating, let us see the slab before deciding what system is appropriate.

If you have a commercial project in or around Raeford, contact us with information about the space and existing floor so we can determine whether the project is a good fit.
Why Choose Total Concrete Coatings & Polish?

Our work focuses on evaluating the existing concrete, preparing it for the selected flooring system and helping customers understand the available coating and finish options.
You can learn more about our company, owner and concrete-flooring experience on our About Total Concrete Coatings & Polish page.
For a Raeford project, we’ll discuss the actual floor rather than making blanket promises about every slab, coating or installation.
Caring for a Coated Garage Floor
Routine maintenance is generally straightforward.
Remove loose dirt and debris as needed, clean spills promptly and use a suitable mild cleaner when washing the surface. Specific cleaning recommendations can vary depending on the coating system installed, so follow the care instructions provided for your particular floor.
Avoid assuming that every cleaner or chemical is appropriate for every coating.

How much does epoxy garage flooring cost in Raeford, NC?
Pricing depends on the garage size, condition of the concrete, preparation and repair requirements, coating system and desired finish. Total Concrete Coatings & Polish provides free estimates based on the actual project.
Does my garage concrete need to be prepared before coating?
Yes. Proper surface preparation is important for coating adhesion and performance. The preparation required depends on the condition of the slab, existing coatings, contaminants and other surface conditions.

Potentially, but the existing surface needs to be evaluated first. Previous paint or coatings may need to be removed as part of the preparation process before a new flooring system is installed.

Epoxy and polyaspartic are different coating materials with different characteristics and uses within flooring systems. The appropriate products depend on the concrete, installation requirements, desired finish and how the garage will be used.

Available colors, decorative flakes and finishes depend on the flooring system selected. We can discuss the available options when planning the project.

Like many smooth flooring surfaces, a coated floor can become slippery when wet. Depending on the system and intended use, texture or slip-resistant additives may be incorporated into the finished surface.
