Epoxy Concrete Floor Coatings in Akron, Ohio
Concrete floors in Akron tend to show their age over time. Many homes and buildings were constructed decades ago, which means older garage slabs, basements below grade, and outdoor concrete that has been through countless Ohio winters. In our experience, customers in Akron reach out when surfaces become chipped, uneven, slippery, or hard to maintain, and when quick fixes or coatings from the past haven’t held up.
We regularly work throughout Akron, including established neighborhoods like Highland Square, Firestone Park, Ellet, North Hill, and Wallhaven.
Our Akron customers often come to us looking for long-term solutions for:
-
- Garage floor coatings that hold up to road salt, moisture, and daily wear
- Basement floor coatings designed for below-grade concrete and moisture-prone spaces
- Concrete patio coatings that improve traction, appearance, and durability through freeze–thaw cycles
- Pool deck coatings that provide slip resistance, UV stability, and easier maintenance around water
- Commercial concrete floor coatings built for traffic, cleaning requirements, and long-term performance
We take a straightforward, experience-based approach. We evaluate the concrete, explain your options clearly, and recommend systems built for Akron’s conditions, not just what installs the fastest. If you’re researching pricing, our residential concrete coating cost guide is a helpful place to start. When you’re ready, we’re happy to take a look at your space and provide honest guidance on what will work best for your home or business.
Concrete coating systems we install in Akron, Ohio
In our experience working on concrete throughout Akron, slabs behave very differently depending on age, location, and exposure. Many Akron homes have older garage floors, basements below grade, and concrete that’s been dealing with moisture and road salt for decades. That’s why we don’t treat every job the same or default to one-day installs unless they truly make sense for the space.
A lot of our Akron customers come to us after doing research or reading about topics like Can You Epoxy an Old Basement Floor? or Applying Concrete Coatings to Older Garage Floors. Others have questions after seeing aggressive marketing around fast installs, which we address honestly in The Truth About One-Day Garage Floor Coatings. Those conversations usually lead to the following system options:
Industrial-grade epoxy systems used as moisture-blocking basecoats, especially important for older garages and basements where slab moisture is common
Hybrid epoxy and polyaspartic systems that balance strong adhesion, durability, and reasonable cure times when faster turnaround is needed
Decorative flake systems for garages, basements, patios, and commercial spaces where traction, durability, and a clean appearance matter
Metallic epoxy systems for finished basements, offices, and interior spaces where visual impact is the priority
UV-stable and textured topcoats designed for patios and pool decks exposed to sun, water, and seasonal Ohio weather
Every floor we install is built as a true multi-layer system, not a single product application. We take the time to evaluate moisture, surface condition, and how the space is actually used so the coating performs long after installation. That attention to detail is a big reason so many of our Akron customers find us through referrals and 5-star reviews rather than repair calls.

Our concrete coating installation process
In our experience, most coating problems in Akron don’t come from the coating itself. They come from rushing the prep or ignoring what’s happening below the surface. Older slabs, moisture in the concrete, and years of wear all need to be addressed before any coating goes down. That’s why we spend more time on preparation than most contractors and why we don’t cut corners.
Our residential concrete coating process in Akron includes:
Evaluating the concrete and surrounding conditions
We look closely at the age of the slab, moisture presence, previous repairs, and how the space is actually used. This helps us choose a system that won’t bubble, peel, or fail prematurely.
Mechanical diamond grinding
Grinding creates the proper surface profile so coatings bond correctly. This step is essential and one of the biggest differences between professional installations and quick, surface-level applications.
Crack repair and surface prep
Cracks, pitting, and surface defects are repaired before coatings are applied. Addressing these issues improves both the look of the finished floor and its long-term performance.
Application of the appropriate Simiron base system
We use professional-grade Simiron epoxy and hybrid base systems, selecting the right product based on moisture conditions and the demands of the space.
Decorative broadcast or finish layer, if selected
Flake or metallic finishes are installed carefully for consistent coverage, traction, and visual balance.
Protective topcoat and clear cure guidance
A durable topcoat seals the system and protects it from wear, moisture, and chemicals. We also give clear, realistic guidance on cure times so customers know exactly when the floor can be used.
This level of preparation and product selection is why our floors in Akron hold up year after year. It’s also why so many of our customers come to us through referrals and 5-star reviews instead of follow-up repair calls.
