We focus on every detail, from ensuring the concrete surface is impeccably clean to applying the coating evenly for a stunning finish. This meticulous attention to detail guarantees that your coated floor will not only withstand the test of time but also enhance the overall value and functionality of your space.

Step 1: Clear Out Your Space

Before our team steps in to revamp your garage, you’ll need to clear out the area. Everything must go! If moving heavy objects sounds daunting, don’t sweat it—we can assist with arranging a moving crew. Remember, a clear space ensures a smooth application and stellar results. Ensuring the area is free from obstructions not only facilitates quicker installation but also helps in achieving a uniform coating without any missed spots. This preparation step is crucial for a seamless transformation of your space. Additionally, it allows our technicians to efficiently assess and prepare the surface, ensuring optimal adhesion and the long-term durability of your new floor.

Step 2: Keep It Dry and Clean

It might be tempting to give your garage a good power wash before we arrive, but hold that thought! Excess moisture can hinder the coating’s ability to adhere properly. Also, make sure to turn off any sprinklers around the area; we want the concrete as dry as possible to ensure optimal coating conditions.

Step 3: Dealing with Water Softeners

Got a water softener in the way? No worries, you have options:

Cut Around It: We can tape off a square around the tank and apply the coating around it.
Remove the Salt Tank: Temporarily remove the tank to coat a larger area.
Full Removal: For the most thorough job, consider removing the entire system for the day. If you’re not up for DIY, hiring a plumber might be a good call.

The Penntek Advantage: Why Polyurea Tops Epoxy

Why choose Penntek polyurea for your floor? Because when it comes to durability and performance, it simply outshines the rest:

Impact Resistance: Our polyurea coatings are tough. They’re designed to handle heavy drops and harsh impacts without chipping or cracking—something epoxy struggles with.
Stretch & Flex: Polyurea moves with your concrete. This flexibility prevents peeling and keeps your floor looking smooth and intact under pressure.
Stains & Spills: Spill something? No problem. Penntek coatings clean up so easily, you’ll forget spills ever happened.
UV Stability: Unlike epoxy, which can yellow and fade, our polyurea coatings are built to resist the harsh Florida sun.
