Garage Coating

Which door do you and your family use most often to enter your home? For most homeowners in LaSalle, it isn’t the front door—it’s the door from the garage. Yet, this high-traffic entrance often leads through a space that is dusty, stained, and cracked. This creates a disconnect between your beautiful home and its most-used entryway. R&R Concrete Solutions believes your garage deserves better. We specialize in installing high-performance garage coating systems that transform this utilitarian space into a clean, bright, and impressive extension of your home.

A professional garage coating is not paint. It is a multi-layer, industrial-grade resurfacing system designed to withstand the unique challenges of a modern garage. From corrosive winter road salts to chemical spills and heavy vehicle traffic, our systems provide a permanent solution that DIY kits from hardware stores simply cannot match. We create a seamless, non-porous, and incredibly durable surface that simplifies your life, protects your concrete, and adds significant value to your property.

Reclaim Your Garage: A Foundation for a Better Space

Upgrading your garage floor is one of the most impactful investments you can make in your home. It goes far beyond aesthetics; it fundamentally changes how you use and perceive the space. A dusty, stained floor makes the entire garage feel dirty, no matter how organized it is. A professional garage coating from R&R Concrete Solutions eliminates this problem at the source.

By sealing the porous concrete, we stop the fine, powdery dust that gets tracked into your home. The new, bright surface is incredibly easy to sweep or wipe clean, turning a once-dirty area into a functional space for hobbies, a home gym, or simply a clean and welcoming transition into your house. As noted by home improvement experts like This Old House, a clean floor is the first step to a fully optimized garage.

The Ultimate Defense for Your LaSalle Garage Floor

Our garage coating systems are specifically engineered to defeat the unique enemies of a garage floor in the Illinois Valley.

Impervious to Automotive Fluids & Winter Salts

Leaking oil, antifreeze, and gasoline can leave permanent stains on unprotected concrete. More importantly, the corrosive road salts and de-icing brines that drip from your car all winter eat away at the concrete, causing it to pit and crumble. Our non-porous garage coating creates a hermetic seal, so these damaging materials sit on the surface for easy cleanup, never reaching the concrete below.

Built to Resist Hot-Tire Pickup

When you drive, your tires heat up and expand. When you park on a lesser coating (like epoxy paint), the hot tires can soften the material and cause it to peel off when you drive away. Our system uses a professional-grade polyaspartic topcoat, which is chemically engineered with a higher heat tolerance to be completely resistant to this “hot-tire pickup.”

A Showroom Finish with Unmatched Durability

The most popular style for a modern garage is our decorative epoxy flake system. This system provides a beautiful, granite-like appearance while adding thickness and texture for extreme impact and abrasion resistance. Dropped tools, rolling toolboxes, and jack stands are no match for its resilience.

Our Multi-Layer Garage Coating System: Built for Performance

A coating that lasts for decades is not applied in a day. It is the result of a meticulous, multi-step process where preparation is paramount.

1. Diamond Grinding Preparation: This is the most crucial step. We use heavy-duty planetary grinders with industrial diamonds to mechanically abrade the concrete, removing contaminants and opening the pores for maximum adhesion. We never skip this step.
2. Concrete Repair: We inspect the floor and repair any cracks, spalling, or damage with a high-strength polymer filler. If the floor has severely settled, our slabjacking service is the essential first step to re-level the slab.
3. Moisture-Mitigating Epoxy Primer: We apply a deep-penetrating primer that creates a tenacious bond and helps block moisture that can cause other coatings to fail.
4. Full Flake Broadcast: We apply a thick epoxy basecoat and broadcast your chosen decorative flake blend to rejection, ensuring a dense, uniform finish.
5. UV-Stable Polyaspartic Clear Coat: The final step is a crystal-clear polyaspartic topcoat that provides UV stability (it will never turn yellow), extreme chemical resistance, and a beautiful, easy-to-clean gloss.

Frequently Asked Questions About Garage Coatings

How long until I can walk on the floor and park my car?

You can typically walk on your new garage floor within 24 hours of the final topcoat application. We recommend waiting 72 hours before driving a vehicle onto the surface to allow the coating to achieve its full chemical hardness.

Can you coat the small concrete wall/curb and steps in my garage?

Yes, absolutely. We can extend the coating system up any vertical concrete surfaces in your garage, including foundation walls, curbs, and steps. This creates a truly seamless, finished, and easy-to-clean environment from wall to wall.

Is a professional garage coating worth the investment?

Without a doubt. A professionally installed garage coating not only enhances your daily enjoyment of your home but also adds significant resale value. It protects the structural integrity of your concrete, preventing costly repairs down the line, making it a wise and valuable home improvement.
