Garage Floor Coating in Bernards, NJ
A 3-car garage in Bernards with stained concrete and worn steps. Simiron Stonewash flake system on the full floor and stairs, done in one day.
“Great work these guys did! They are very easy to work with. We are very satisfied.”

About this project
Lugang found us on Facebook. His 3-car garage in Bernards had stained, dirty concrete across the full 650 square foot slab, with heavily soiled steps leading into the house. The walls were unfinished sheetrock, and the floor was the next item on the list.
He chose Stonewash from our color chart, a cool gray blend that works well in a large garage space and ties the floor together even without finished walls.
One detail worth noting: we coated the stairs too, not just the floor. The steps got the same full treatment, flake broadcast and polyaspartic topcoat, so the entire surface from the floor to the door entry is one consistent, durable finish.
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 and remove the surface staining across the full slab. After grinding, we vacuumed all dust with an industrial vacuum.
We applied a moisture vapor barrier across the slab before anything else went down. While it was still fresh, we broadcast Simiron Stonewash flakes wall to wall across all 650 square feet, then covered the stairs with the same broadcast. After curing, we vacuumed the loose excess flakes and applied a polyaspartic topcoat across the floor and steps for a hard, slip-resistant, glossy finish.
One day. Floor and stairs done together.
