As the cold months approach, your garage floor faces its toughest test — snow, slush, road salt, and freezing temperatures. Before winter takes its toll, it’s the perfect time to invest in a durable epoxy or polyaspartic coating from Gordon Concrete Coatings & Polishing. Our professional coating systems don’t just protect your concrete — they transform your garage into a clean, attractive, and long-lasting space.
Why Michigan Garages Need More Than Bare Concrete
Bare concrete might seem tough, but it’s no match for Michigan’s freeze-thaw cycles. When water and salt soak into the pores of untreated concrete, cracks and spalling soon follow. Over time, this leads to costly repairs and a rough, damaged surface.
A professionally installed epoxy or polyaspartic coating creates a seamless, protective barrier that keeps moisture, salt, and chemicals from penetrating the surface. The result? A stronger, more beautiful garage floor that stands up to anything winter can throw at it.
Benefits of a Coated Garage Floor
Durability: Resistant to chemicals, road salt, and hot tire pickup.
Easy Maintenance: Spills and dirt wipe clean with minimal effort.
Improved Appearance: Choose from solid color, flake, or metallic finishes to match your style.
Increased Safety: Optional slip-resistant textures help prevent accidents in wet conditions.
Long-Term Protection: Extends the life of your concrete and prevents costly repairs.
Our Proven Installation Process
At Gordon Concrete Coatings & Polishing, every project follows a precise, professional process designed for lasting results:
Concrete Preparation – We grind or shot-blast the surface to remove imperfections and create a strong bond.
Crack & Damage Repair – Any existing cracks are filled and leveled for a smooth base.
Base Coat Application – A high-performance primer and epoxy base coat are applied.
Decorative Finish – Add vinyl flake, metallic effects, or solid color to match your vision.
Protective Topcoat – A durable sealer locks in the finish and provides UV and chemical resistance.
This meticulous approach ensures every floor we install performs beautifully for years to come.
The Best Time to Schedule Your Garage Floor Coating
Fall is one of the best seasons to install epoxy or polyaspartic coatings in Michigan. The mild temperatures allow for ideal curing conditions, and completing your project before the first freeze means your floor will be ready to handle winter weather without damage or delay.
Maintenance Tips to Keep Your Floor Looking Great
Sweep regularly to remove dirt and debris.
Mop with a mild cleaner—no need for harsh chemicals.
Rinse off road salt or snowmelt promptly.
Use mats under tires or workbenches for added protection.
Following these simple steps helps maintain the shine and strength of your coated floor year after year.
