Polyaspartic Floor Coatings in Cedar Hill TX - a coated floor that stays put
Stained, dusty or peeling concrete floor? We grind the slab clean and sound first, so the polyaspartic coating we put over it holds on.
I check every slab myself
I come out to every job, look the slab over and write the estimate myself, so the person pricing your floor is the one who's actually seen the concrete. Our own trained installers do the prep and the coating.
Prepping and coating concrete since 2013
I learned prep and coatings beside an installer who'd done it a long time, then started this business in 2013. Thirteen years in, we still put the time into the concrete before anything goes on it.

Polyaspartic floor coatings in Cedar Hill
A polyaspartic floor coating is a tough coat that goes over concrete once it's been ground clean. In Cedar Hill we put it down for homeowners who want a clean garage floor back quickly, and for shop, kitchen and warehouse owners who need a floor that can take a beating.
Most calls start with a garage floor that's stained, dusty or peeling where an old sealer gave up. Polyaspartic is a good pick when you want the floor back in use fast, but it's only as good as the concrete under it. The slab has to be clean, dry and sound, and if yours isn't, I'll tell you it needs work first or that this coating isn't a fit.
Price comes down to the size of the floor, how much grinding and crack repair the slab needs, whether an old coating comes off and how many coats go down. The schedule turns on that prep and on any damp we find in the slab. Your written estimate spells out the prep and every coat, and before we start we check with your city's building office and handle any permit the job calls for.
Polyaspartic coatings and the prep underneath them
Grinding the slab clean first
A quick cure is no reason to rush the prep, so we grind the floor clean before anything goes on it. One coating maker requires every trace of oil and grease gone and recommends coarse diamond grinding or blasting, and grinding is what we do. The expansive clay common around Dallas and Fort Worth can be hard on slab foundations, so while we grind, I'm also looking at the cracks and settling your slab already has and telling you what needs fixing first.
Checking the slab for damp
Got a spot on the floor that always looks darker than the rest? Damp coming up through a slab is the thing to find before we coat, because one maker warns that moisture builds up under a sealed coating and eventually makes it blister and come loose. So I check the slab for moisture before any coat goes down. If it's wet, I'll say so and we'll talk through whether the slab needs work first or whether this coating just isn't a fit for that floor.
Choosing the coats that go down
A lot of quotes pair an epoxy base coat with a polyaspartic topcoat, so the name on a bid may leave out part of what goes on your floor, and it's worth asking every contractor to list each coat. One maker says its polyaspartic keeps its color in sunlight where epoxies can shift, which counts in a garage that sits open to the sun. Want a poured, swirled look? Metallic epoxy flooring gets you there. For a commercial kitchen with hot washdowns, urethane cement flooring is usually the better fit.

I come out and check the slab
Call (972) 299-0201 or send us a message, and I'll come out to look at the floor, check the slab and hear what you want from the space. It helps if enough is cleared that I can see the concrete, especially along the walls.
You get a written estimate
You get a written estimate that spells out the prep and every coat that goes down, so you can line it up against other bids. If the slab needs repair first, or this coating isn't a fit, the estimate says so.
We prep, coat and walk it
Our own trained installers grind the floor, handle any repairs and put down each coat, so plan to have cars and stored things off the floor first. When it's done, I walk the finished floor with you before we pack up.
Polyaspartic coating questions from Cedar Hill
How much does a polyaspartic garage floor coating cost in DFW?
Installed residential floor coating systems in the DFW area usually cost about $5 to $12 per square foot. That's what the area runs for coating systems in general, not our price. Your own number comes from the written estimate once I've seen the slab.
Do I need a permit for a floor coating in Cedar Hill?
The city's permit list doesn't settle it either way. Cedar Hill requires a permit from Building Inspections for any construction, alteration or repair of buildings, and its list names work like roofing and plumbing, not floor coatings. We ask the office before we start, or you can call it at 972-291-5100, ext. 1090.
How soon can I park on a new polyaspartic garage floor?
One product's data sheet says its floor can take vehicle traffic in 24 hours, so plan to park somewhere else for at least a day. Products differ, so ask what the coating on your quote needs, and I'll tell you the wait for the system we pick for your floor.
Can you put polyaspartic over an old coated garage floor?
Sometimes, if the old coating is sound. One maker says previously coated concrete has to be in good condition, with the old coating tightly bonded, before its product goes over it. We make sure of that before we go over it, and if the old coat is lifting or peeling, it comes off first.
