Garage Floor Coating in Warren, NJ
A 3-car garage in Warren with heavily stained concrete, finished in a Simiron Creekbed flake system chosen to actually match the space.
About this project
Susan was referred to us by a contractor she had worked with on other projects. Her 3-car garage in Warren had years of staining worked into the concrete across the full slab, the kind of wear that builds up over time with no protective coating in place.
She came in with a color in mind, but it was not the right fit for the tone of her garage walls. We walked her through the full color chart and pointed her toward Creekbed instead, a warmer, more balanced blend that ties into the wall color rather than fighting it. She was glad we said something. It is an easy thing to miss when you are picking a color from a small sample, and the difference shows once the whole floor is down.
Installation process
1. Grind the walls
We grind along the edges to prep the base where the floor meets the wall
2. Grind the floor
We diamond grind the full concrete surface so the coating bonds properly
3. Vacuum after grinding
We vacuum all dust with HEPA filter vacuums so nothing contaminates the coating
4. Cover Cracks
Every crack filled and sealed so they don't telegraph through the coating
5. Paint the sidewalls
Base coat goes on the edges first
6. Broadcast flakes on sidewalls
Flakes applied to the edges while the base coat is wet
7. Apply moisture vapor barrier
MVB applied to the full floor to block moisture from below
8. Broadcast flakes on the floor
Full broadcast across the entire floor surface
9. Scrape the flakes
Excess flakes scraped flat for a smooth, even surface
10. Vacuum the excess
Loose flakes vacuumed up before topcoat goes down
11. Apply the polyaspartic topcoat
Durable clear coat applied for protection and gloss
12. Roll it out
Final roll for a smooth, consistent finish
We started with an industrial diamond grinder to open the concrete surface and remove the staining across the full 700 square feet. After grinding, we vacuumed all dust with an industrial vacuum.
We applied a moisture vapor barrier across the entire slab, then broadcast Simiron Creekbed flakes wall to wall. After curing, we vacuumed the loose excess flakes and applied a polyaspartic topcoat for a hard, glossy, durable finish.
One day, a floor that actually fits the space, and a homeowner who avoided a color mismatch she would have lived with for years.
