High Quality Garage Floor Epoxy Application In Cleveland, Ohio
Garage Floor Epoxy Coatings in Cleveland, Ohio
A garage floor takes more abuse than almost any surface in your home. Over time, bare concrete becomes chipped, pitted, stained, dusty, and slippery, especially in Cleveland where winter salt, moisture, and freeze-thaw cycles accelerate damage.
That Epoxy Guy helps homeowners turn worn, unsafe garage floors into clean, durable, and easy-to-maintain spaces using professional epoxy and concrete coating systems designed for real-world use.
Common garage floor problems we fix
Most homeowners call us because their garage has become a problem, not just an eyesore.
We regularly hear concerns about:
-
- Cracked, shifted, or uneven concrete that feels unsafe to walk on
- Pitted and stained floors that never look clean
- Slippery surfaces when wet from rain or snow
- Oil, salt, and chemical stains that soak into bare concrete
- Constant concrete dust covering vehicles and storage
A properly installed epoxy coating addresses these issues at the surface while protecting the concrete underneath.

Why homeowners choose epoxy for their garage floor
Epoxy isn’t just about appearance. It solves practical problems that garages face every day.
A professionally coated garage floor:
-
- Seals and protects concrete from moisture and salt damage
- Resists oil, brake fluid, gasoline, and common household chemicals
- Eliminates concrete dust and makes cleaning easier
- Improves safety with slip-resistant finishes
- Brightens the space and creates a finished, organized look
Many homeowners tell us it’s one of the best upgrades they’ve made to their home.
The floor coating systems we use in garages
We don’t use paint or one-size-fits-all products. Garage floors require systems designed for vehicles, moisture, and temperature swings.
For most garages, we install Simiron flake epoxy systems, which combine a durable epoxy base with a full flake broadcast and a protective topcoat.
These systems are designed to:
-
- Handle vehicle traffic and hot tire pickup
- Resist oil, road salt, and chemical spills
- Tolerate moisture common in older garage slabs
- Provide long-term durability when properly installed
When faster turnaround or added durability is needed, we incorporate polyaspartic topcoats to improve wear resistance and return-to-service time.

Our garage floor coating installation process
A garage floor only lasts if the prep is done right. We apply these coatings so they last for many years and that's why we don’t skip any steps.
Our process includes:
-
- Evaluating the condition of the concrete and moisture levels
- Mechanical diamond grinding to properly prepare the surface
- Repairing cracks, chips, and surface defects as needed
- Applying the epoxy base coat and full flake broadcast
- Sealing the system with a durable protective topcoat
- Clear guidance on cure times and when you can use the space
This approach is what separates long-lasting epoxy floors from coatings that fail early.

Garage floor coating FAQ
How long does a garage floor epoxy coating last?
When properly installed with surface preparation, epoxy garage floors are designed to last many years. Longevity depends on vehicle use, maintenance, and the coating system selected, but professional systems hold up far longer than paint or DIY coatings.
How long does installation take?
Most garage floor epoxy installations are completed in one to two days, depending on the condition of the concrete and the coating system used. We’ll explain the timeline clearly before work begins.
When can I walk or park on the floor?
Light foot traffic is usually allowed within 24 hours. Parking vehicles typically requires additional cure time. We provide clear return-to-service guidance after installation.
Will epoxy be slippery when wet?
Epoxy floors can be made slip-resistant. We use flake systems and textured topcoats that improve traction, especially important for garages that see snow, rain, and wet conditions.
Can epoxy be installed over cracked or damaged concrete?
Yes, in most cases. Cracks, chips, and surface defects are repaired as part of the preparation process. The condition of the slab is evaluated during the estimate so expectations are clear.
What about moisture coming up through the concrete?
Moisture is common in garage slabs, especially in older homes. We assess the concrete and use moisture-aware epoxy systems when needed to reduce the risk of coating failure.
Will hot tires damage the epoxy?
No. Professional epoxy systems are designed to resist hot tire pickup. This is a common problem with low-quality coatings or paint, not with properly installed systems.
How resistant is epoxy to oil and chemicals?
Garage epoxy floors are resistant to oil, gasoline, brake fluid, road salt, and common household chemicals. Spills should be cleaned up, but they won’t soak into the concrete like bare floors.
Is epoxy better than concrete paint?
Yes. Paint sits on the surface and wears quickly. Epoxy chemically bonds to the concrete, creating a thicker, more durable surface designed for vehicle traffic and long-term use.
How do I clean and maintain an epoxy garage floor?
Maintenance is simple. Sweep regularly and clean with a mild cleaner as needed. Epoxy floors do not require sealing or special treatments.
Will the coating hide stains and imperfections?
Flake epoxy systems do an excellent job of hiding stains and minor imperfections. Severe structural issues may still be visible, which we’ll discuss during your estimate.
Can I choose the color or finish?
Yes. We offer a variety of flake blends, solid colors, and texture options. We’ll help you choose a finish that fits how your garage is used and your overall style.
