Garage Floor Coating in Burien, WA

Across the Seattle area, most pro-installed floors for a two-car garage run about $1,600 to $5,800, and a one-car costs less. On an older Burien slab, the price moves most with old paint to grind off, crack repair and whether the moisture barrier goes in. You'll get the exact number in writing at the free estimate.

It can work in a warm, dry garage. An older Burien slab is often neither: it stays cold most of the year and may have no plastic under it. Epoxy cures slowly in the cold and needs about a week before you park. Ours has the same prep and flake look, cures faster, flexes with the slab and has your car back in 72 hours.

Yes. We grind off old paint and the oil-soaked top layer, degrease what's left, then fill the cracks and joints and grind them flush. A slab that old probably has no plastic under it, which counts as one moisture sign. If the meter or one more sign agrees, the barrier primer goes down first and the job takes two days.

One of two things is happening. Damp air can condense on a cold slab, or moisture can wick up from the ground. To tell which, tape a square of plastic to the floor overnight. Water on top of the plastic means condensation. Water under it means moisture coming through the slab, which is the job our barrier primer does. How moisture moves through a slab.

Yes, along the whole Burien waterfront and everywhere inland. If parking is tight on your street, tell us when you book, and we'll plan where the truck goes and how the grinders get in. A garage dug into a slope gets extra moisture readings, since a floor below the ground outside is the biggest single risk we test for.

Yes, with the same steps and the same lifetime adhesion warranty. A small garage costs less in total, though a bit more per square foot, because our setup is the same whatever the size. A detached garage usually sits on its own slab, so we test it on its own, too.

Yes. A new coat only holds as well as the layer under it, so peeling paint, flaking sealer and any coating that's letting go come off first. Diamond grinding takes it down to bare concrete in the same visit, and it shows up as its own line on your written price. Old epoxy that's still stuck down can sometimes stay. Here's how we tell.

Walk on it the next morning and park after 72 hours. If your slab needs the barrier, add a day, because the primer cures overnight before the floor goes down. The floor keeps hardening for about a week, so wait a few days before you drag heavy shelves back in.
