Garage floor coating in Bothell, cracks fixed first
Task Force Garage installs garage floor coatings in Bothell, WA, and crack repair comes with every one. We diamond-grind your slab, then fill each crack and control joint and grind the repairs flush. Then a polyurea base, full vinyl flake and a clear polyaspartic topcoat go down. The estimate is free, at your house.
Look down in your garage and you'll likely find a few cracks: a hairline by the door, a long one along a joint, a chip where something heavy landed. Filled and ground flat, they vanish under the flake. The polyurea base has a little give, which helps it ride out the small shifts every slab makes.
Looking for an epoxy garage floor in Bothell?
Most people around here call any coated garage floor epoxy flooring, and that's fine with us. What we install is the upgrade over an epoxy floor. You get the same grind and the same flake look, but it cures faster and won't yellow where the sun hits it. Your car is back in after 72 hours instead of about a week.
Down by the river or up a Bothell hill?
Bothell sits in a river valley with seven hills around it, and a garage in either spot gets damp in its own way. Where yours sits tells us where to look first.
Down on the valley floor
- You're near the Sammamish River or North Creek, on old floodplain that was marsh in spots before the town grew over it.
- Ground like that can stay wet right under a slab, so we take readings in more than one spot.
- If the meter reads high, the barrier primer goes down first, and your job takes two days.
Up on a hill
- Your garage may sit under the house or be cut into the slope, with soil against its walls.
- A floor below the ground outside is the biggest moisture risk we check for, so we look hard at the edges.
- A driveway that tips toward the door, or a downspout that empties beside it, adds water too.
Wherever your garage sits, you'll know before you sign. We meter the slab, check for the warning signs and tell you on the spot whether your floor needs the barrier and the second day.
Your slab has forty years of Bothell on it
Bothell built more homes in the 1980s than in any other decade, as the farms gave way to subdivisions. If yours is one of them, its garage slab has taken about forty years of wet tires and oil drips. It may wear a coat of paint that's peeling in the tire lanes, too.
None of that rules out a great floor. Our grinders take off the old paint and the stained top layer down to sound concrete. Then we fill the cracks and joints and grind them flush, so the flake goes down on a clean, even slab.
If a crack has one side higher than the other, the ground under it settled at some point. We grind the lip flat and fill it. If a crack looks like it's still moving, we'll say so before you spend a dollar.
Once it's coated, nobody will guess that slab is older than your kids.
Just moved into a new Bothell townhome?
Bothell hasn't stopped building. New townhomes keep going up around downtown and along the Canyon Park corridor. If you just bought one, you probably got a two-car garage and a bare gray slab that started collecting tire marks on move-in day.
If your slab was poured in the last month, hold off. New concrete needs about 28 days to cure before anything goes on it. Book your estimate whenever you like, and we'll set your install for after that.
A young slab is often our quickest job, with little to grind and few cracks to fill. If yours tests dry, it can be done in a day. Coat it before its first winter, and you'll never have to scrub deicer or oil out of it.
What rides home to a Bothell garage
Your garage is the first stop for everything the day drags in. Here's what that means in Bothell, and what a sealed floor does with it.
Trail days
Muddy bikes
The Burke-Gilman meets the Sammamish River Trail right here. Ride either one in March and the bikes come home wearing it. On a coated floor the mud sits on top, and a hose sends it out the door.
Commute
Highway deicer
Before a freeze, road crews spray I-405 and the state highways with a chloride deicer, which is a type of salt. It dries white on bare concrete and soaks in. On our floor, it mops right off.
Snow days
Hill slush
When it snows, the hill streets are the hard ones, and the school district moves bus stops off them. The slush that melts off your car pools in the tire lanes. On a sealed floor, it waits for the squeegee.
Rain season
Wet tires
From fall into spring, the car often comes in wet. Bare concrete darkens, stains and sheds dust on everything you store. A coated floor wipes clean, and the grit in the topcoat keeps your footing sure.
Your install, from bare slab to parked car
Here's a two-car garage on a dry slab. You clear it out the night before, and our crew handles the rest. If yours needs the moisture barrier, the same work runs over two days, because the primer cures overnight.
Grind, fill, prime
Diamond grinders take the slab to fresh concrete as vacuums catch the dust. Every crack gets filled. On a two-day job, the barrier primer goes on last.
Base coat and flake
The polyurea base goes down, and we throw vinyl flake into it until no base shows. Full coverage hides the small flaws in your concrete.
Clear topcoat
We scrape and vacuum the loose flake, then roll on the clear topcoat with anti-slip grit. That's the layer that takes the deicer and the wet tires.
Drive back in
Walk on it the next morning, and the bikes can go back on their hooks. Park after 72 hours, and hold off dragging anything heavy for a week.

- $1,600–$5,800a typical two-car garage

Crack repair moves your price most here, since an older Bothell slab can need a lot of it. The moisture barrier comes next, if your valley or hillside garage needs one.
Premium includes the barrier, cove base, coated steps, a flake design session and a one-year checkup. On Original, the barrier is an add-on if your slab needs it. See what Premium includes, or read the Seattle garage floor cost guide.

Bothell garage floor questions
How much does garage floor coating cost in Bothell?
Across the Seattle area, most pro-installed floors in a two-car garage run about $1,600 to $5,800. In Bothell, the spread mostly comes from crack repair on older slabs and whether your garage needs the moisture barrier. You'll get your exact price in writing at the free estimate, item by item. See prices by garage size.
Do you install epoxy garage floors in Bothell?
We install the step up from an epoxy floor: a polyurea base and a clear polyaspartic topcoat, with the same full-flake look. Next to plain epoxy, it cures in hours instead of days, has more give as your slab moves, and won't yellow in sunlight. You're parking on it in three days instead of about a week. See how it compares with epoxy.
Who installs polyaspartic garage floors in Bothell?
We do, as the top layer of a two-coat concrete coating system. A polyurea base bonds to your diamond-ground slab, vinyl flake goes into it edge to edge, and a clear polyaspartic topcoat with anti-slip grit seals it in. Every crack and control joint is filled and ground flush first, and the floor carries a lifetime adhesion warranty.
What garage floor holds up in a damp Bothell garage?
Start with a moisture test, and ask any installer you talk to for one. We meter your floor and look for the signs, like white chalky deposits or a floor below the ground outside. If it reads high, our moisture barrier primer goes down first, and the job takes two days. Paint and kit epoxy tend to lift on a damp slab. How the barrier works.
We're on the King County side (98011). Do you cover us?
Yes. We cover Bothell on both sides of the county line. That means Westhill, Norway Hill and downtown on the King County side, and Canyon Park, Queensborough and Thrasher's Corner on the Snohomish side. Bothell addresses north of the city limits are covered too, along with the rest of the Seattle area.
Our garage is dug into the hill. Can it still be coated?
Usually, yes. A floor that sits below the ground outside is the biggest moisture risk we check, because the soil holds water against the walls. We take extra readings and look closely at the edges. If the slab asks for it, the barrier primer goes down first. Moving a downspout that empties next to the garage helps, too.
Can you coat a Bothell garage in fall or winter?
Yes. Epoxy wants a warm slab, which pushes most epoxy jobs around here into summer. Our system handles a much wider range of temperatures, so fall and winter installs work once your slab passes the moisture test. Most people call in spring, so a winter install usually means more dates to pick from. On the day, we keep your slab warmer than the dew point.
Is a garage floor coating worth it if we might sell?
Usually, if you'll be living there a while. The floor wipes clean and stops the concrete dust that settles on everything you store. If you're listing next spring, a full Premium floor may be more than you need, and we'll tell you so at the estimate. There's no sense paying for extras you won't be around to enjoy.
