Garage floor coating in Superior, Colorado

Superior homes, especially in Rock Creek, are close enough together that we can often schedule neighbors back to back. Many of these garages were built within the same few years, so we have a good idea of slab condition before we show up. Newer slabs, including recent rebuilds, get an extra-careful moisture test before we commit to a coating date.

Garages in Superior

What Superior slabs need, and what we do about it

Rock Creek is most of Superior, and it was built by a handful of production builders between the mid-1990s and the mid-2000s. That is useful to us: the slabs are the same age, the garages are the same two- and three-car layouts, and the prep is predictable. The typical Rock Creek floor has a light dusting surface, a couple of hairline cracks and tire marks where the cars sit. It grinds clean in a morning.

Sagamore and the western edge of Rock Creek were rebuilt after the Marshall Fire, and those homes have some of the newest garage slabs in Boulder County. New concrete is a great base for a coating once it has finished releasing its moisture. We test every rebuild slab with a meter before we quote, and if it reads high we either add a moisture-mitigating primer or ask you to give it a few more months. Neither costs you a quote visit.

Downtown Superior added townhomes with tandem and single-bay garages. Those are smaller jobs, priced at the low end of our ranges, and the same five-step process applies. Since the finished floor is inside the garage, it is not something an HOA architectural committee reviews in most communities, though we always suggest a quick read of your covenants.

Searching for epoxy garage floors in Superior? We install polyaspartic instead. It is UV-stable, cures in cold weather, and does not soften under hot tires, which is why we don't install epoxy in Colorado garages. See the side-by-side comparison.

The process

Five steps on every Superior floor

Grind, test and repair, base coat, full flake, polyaspartic topcoat. Installed by the owner, usually in one day.

  1. Grind

    Diamond grinding opens the concrete so the coating can bite. No acid etch, ever.

  2. Test & repair

    Moisture test on every slab. Cracks routed and filled with flexible polyurea.

  3. Base coat

    Pigmented polyurea base coat, rolled and back-rolled for full coverage.

  4. Full flake

    Vinyl flake broadcast to refusal, so the floor is 100% covered, not sprinkled.

  5. Topcoat

    Clear polyaspartic topcoat. UV stable, hot-tire proof, and cures in cold weather.

FAQ

Questions from Superior homeowners

More answers on the full FAQ.

Our Sagamore rebuild was finished this year. Can you coat the garage now?
Possibly. The slab needs a minimum of 28 days to cure and then has to pass a moisture test. We test it for free. Many rebuild slabs are ready within a few months of the pour, but we will not put a floor over a wet slab, because that is exactly how coatings fail.
Does the Rock Creek HOA need to approve a garage floor coating?
Interior garage floors are generally not something architectural review committees look at, since they are not visible from the street. That said, every HOA writes its own covenants, so a quick check with your management company is worth the two minutes.
Can you do a tandem garage in a Downtown Superior townhome?
Yes. Tandem and single-bay garages are priced at the low end of our one-car range. We bring a compact grinder for narrow bays and the whole job is usually done before mid-afternoon.
How much does a garage floor cost?
Typical ranges: 1-car $1,800–2,600, 2-car $2,800–4,200, 3-car $4,000–5,800. Basements, patios, shops and commercial floors are quoted per square foot. Every job is quoted in person after a moisture test and a look at the slab, and the quote is the price.
Why do you grind instead of acid etching?
Acid etching only cleans the very top skin of the concrete and leaves behind a weak, powdery layer. Coatings stick to that layer, and then the layer lets go of the slab. Diamond grinding removes it entirely and opens the pores so the base coat locks into solid concrete. It's the difference between a floor that lasts 15 years and one that peels in 2.
