How long does a garage epoxy floor take?

Most garage floors are prepped and coated over a couple of days, plus cure time before you can walk on it and longer before you park on it. We'll give you the exact schedule for your system.

Why do some epoxy floors peel?

Almost always from poor prep or slab moisture: epoxy rolled onto a smooth, sealed, or damp slab won't bond. We grind the concrete and test for moisture specifically to prevent that.

Is epoxy slippery when wet?

It can be, which is why we add non-slip aggregate or flake for garages that see wet cars and PNW rain tracked in. We'll match the traction to how you use the space.

An epoxy coating turns a dusty, stained garage slab into a durable, wipe-clean surface that looks like a showroom. Gencon applies garage epoxy floor coatings across Clackamas County, prepped properly so they actually bond and last.

Why prep is everything with epoxy

Epoxy fails when it's rolled onto an unprepared slab. We diamond-grind the concrete to open the surface, repair cracks and pits, and make sure the slab is clean and dry before coating. That mechanical prep (not the epoxy itself) is what separates a floor that lasts years from one that peels in months.

Moisture and our climate

Concrete slabs in the Pacific Northwest can carry a lot of moisture, and moisture vapor pushing up through the slab is a leading cause of coating failure. We test for it and use the right primer and system so the coating bonds even in our damp conditions.

Finish options

Solid-color epoxy for a clean, uniform look
Decorative flake or chip systems that hide dirt and add grip
Non-slip additives for wet-weather traction
A clear topcoat for extra abrasion and chemical resistance
