Our Process: Professional Concrete Floor Coatings from Start to Finish
At Solid Finish Coatings, we’ve streamlined the concrete floor coating process to deliver beautiful, long-lasting results with minimal disruption. Whether we’re coating a garage, basement, patio, or pool deck, our system ensures a clean install and a surface that stands up to the elements — and life.
Here’s how we do it:
1. In-Person Consultation & Free Estimate
Every project starts with a free on-site visit. We’ll evaluate your floor, take moisture readings, and walk you through color and finish options. You’ll get a clear quote with no hidden fees, and we’ll talk through any add-ons like logo installs or concrete repairs.
Surface condition assessment
Color and flake selection
Clear, honest pricing
2. Floor Prep: The Most Important Step
Coating systems are only as good as their prep — and we don’t skip corners. We use industrial-grade grinders to profile the surface, open the pores of the concrete, and ensure maximum adhesion.
We also:
Repair cracks and spalling
Patch low spots
Fill joints (if needed)
Even if your slab shows no signs of moisture, we typically apply a moisture vapor barrier (MVB) to prevent bubbling and peeling down the line.
3. Coatings System Application
Once prep is complete, we lay down our system, providing superior bond and longevity. You are going to love the way your floor looks!
4. Walkthrough & Care Instructions
After the coating fully cures, we walk through the space with you to make sure you’re thrilled with the results. We also provide tips on cleaning, curing times, and long-term maintenance.
How Long Does It Take?
Most residential projects take 2–3 days, depending on the system. We offer one-day installs for certain flake systems, but some jobs may take longer for specialty finishes.
