From Weathered & Worn to Sleek & Safe – A Private Garage

Problem & Solution: From Salt Damage to Seamless Perfection

The Problem:

This 450 sqft private garage had been put through the wringer. Years of salt damage, moisture exposure, and constant vehicle use had left the concrete cracked, stained, and worn out. Every time a car parked, wet spots would seep into the surface, creating unsightly stains and accelerating deterioration. The porch and stairs leading to the house entrance were also looking rough, with slippery, weathered surfaces that weren’t just an eyesore but also a potential safety hazard, especially in bad weather.

The Solution:

We went with a high-performance flake system, customized to match the garage, porch, and stairs in a sleek grey color while adding enhanced slip resistance for safety. First, we ground down the concrete, exposing and repairing all cracks and salt-damaged areas to prevent future deterioration. Then, we applied a polyurea/polyaspartic basecoat, ensuring maximum adhesion and durability. The full flake broadcast created a seamless, stylish finish, while the polyaspartic topcoat—enhanced with aluminum oxide—provided next-level traction and long-term protection against moisture, stains, and wear. Now, the garage, porch, and stairs look brand new, easy to clean, and built to last.

Task: Flake System Installation – Private Garage, Porch & Stairs

• Surface Preparation – Out with the Old
  
  • Mechanical grinding removed stains, salt damage, and surface imperfections, prepping the surface for a strong, lasting bond.

  • Ground open the cracks, filled them with high-strength polyurea, and re-smoothed the surface to create a seamless repair.
• Basecoat Application – Laying the Groundwork
  
  • Applied a polyurea/polyaspartic basecoat, designed for moisture resistance, impact durability, and long-lasting adhesion.
• Full Flake Broadcast – A Seamless Finish
  
  • 100% coverage with grey vinyl flakes, ensuring a stylish, uniform look that matches the entire space.
• Aluminum Oxide Addition – Extra Safety & Grip
  
  • Mixed aluminum oxide powder into the topcoat, enhancing slip resistance for the garage, stairs, and porch.
• Polyaspartic Topcoat – Sealing the Deal
  
  • Applied a UV-stable, stain-resistant polyaspartic topcoat, making the surface oil-proof, chemical-resistant, and easy to maintain.
• The Final Reveal – A Garage & Entryway Worth Showing Off
  
  • In just one day, this worn-out, salt-damaged concrete was completely transformed into a flawless, high-end surface built for beauty, safety, and durability.

We walked into this 450 sqft private garage, and the floor was showing its age—stained, cracked, and beaten up by years of salt exposure and parked cars dripping water onto it. You could see where every tire had rested, where every puddle had dried, and where the surface had started crumbling. And the porch and stairs? Same story—worn-out concrete that wasn’t just ugly but straight-up dangerous when wet. The homeowner needed a flooring system that could handle moisture, stay slip-resistant, and actually look good.

"Time for a serious upgrade."

We got to work, grinding away years of wear and tear, repairing every crack, and reinforcing the damaged areas. Once we had a solid foundation, we laid down a bulletproof polyurea/polyaspartic basecoat, followed by a full grey flake broadcast to create a sleek, uniform look across the garage, porch, and stairs. Since safety was a top priority, we mixed aluminum oxide into the topcoat, adding extra slip resistance for those rainy and snowy days. The final step? Sealing it all in with a durable, stain-resistant polyaspartic topcoat, making it oil-proof, salt-proof, and ridiculously easy to clean.

"The final result? Absolutely stunning."

Now, this garage, porch, and entryway don’t just look brand new—they’re safer, stronger, and built to last. No more stains, no more slipping hazards, and no more concrete damage. Just a sleek, durable, and easy-to-maintain surface that’s as functional as it is beautiful.
