Stargazer Flake System Garage Floor Coating in Warren, New Jersey
A large 2-car garage in Warren with heavily stained and peeling concrete near the entry. Simiron Stargazer flake system, full industrial prep, one day.
About this project
Sujata found us through Google. Her 2-car garage in Warren had a floor that had deteriorated badly around the entry area, heavy staining, peeling patches, and surface breakdown concentrated near the door and steps. The rest of the slab was worn and stained throughout.
She chose Stargazer from our color chart, a clean light gray blend that works well in a well-used garage and keeps the space feeling open.
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 strip the peeling surface and open clean concrete across all 591 square feet. On a floor with active peeling, grinding is the only way to get a surface that will hold a new coating long term. After grinding, we vacuumed all dust with an industrial vacuum.
We applied a moisture vapor barrier across the full slab before anything else went down. While it was still fresh, we broadcast Simiron Stargazer flakes wall to wall. After curing, we vacuumed the loose excess flakes and applied a polyaspartic topcoat for a hard, glossy, chemical-resistant finish.
One day. From peeling and stained to sealed and protected.
