Garage Floor Coating in Gig Harbor, WA
Gig Harbor garages work hard. Your kayaks hang on the wall, the boat trailer drips salt water, and the workbench never gets fully cleared. Our garage floor coating in Gig Harbor puts full flake and a clear, anti-slip topcoat under all of it. We test your slab first, and the estimate at your house is free.

How garage floor coating in Gig Harbor works
Task Force Garage installs garage floor coatings in Gig Harbor and across the peninsula. We moisture-test your slab, diamond-grind it and fill every crack. Then a polyurea base coat goes down, buried in vinyl flake and sealed under a clear polyaspartic topcoat with grit in it. The estimate at your house is free.
Shopping for epoxy floors in Gig Harbor? Ours is the upgrade over an epoxy floor. You get the same flake look over the same ground prep, but it cures in hours and stays flexible. Your boat or car comes back in after 72 hours, where epoxy usually wants a week. The clear topcoat won't yellow by the open door, either.
A dry slab takes one day. One that needs our moisture barrier primer takes two, because the primer cures overnight. The test happens at your estimate, so you know before you sign, and every floor carries our lifetime adhesion warranty.
What lives in your Gig Harbor garage?
This is the Maritime City, and plenty of garages here hold more than a car. Here's what yours asks of a floor, and what we do about it.
The boat
Trailer in the bay
Your boat drips salt water off the trailer, and on bare concrete it dries into a white crust that soaks in. On our floor it rinses off with the hose. Set a small pad under the tongue jack, as you would on any finished floor.
The shop
A real workbench
Does your garage double as a woodshop or an engine bay? The clear topcoat stands up to oil and most spilled fuel when you wipe it up, and sawdust sweeps off in a few passes.
The gear
Kayaks to crab pots
Paddleboards, crab pots, wetsuits and soccer bags all drip somewhere. Bare concrete holds that damp and the smell that comes with it. On a coated floor, a squeegee sends the water out the door.
Built for a wet Gig Harbor winter
Winters on the peninsula are long and wet, and a lot of that water ends up on your garage floor. It drips off the car, the dog and the boat cover, and bare concrete drinks it in.
Our clear topcoat keeps salt, mud and drips on the surface, where a squeegee or a hose takes them out the door. The grit in it keeps your boots planted on a wet floor.
The timing works in your favor, too. Our floor goes down in the cold months once your slab passes the moisture test, and fall and winter dates are easier to get than spring ones.
New house in Gig Harbor North or Canterwood?
Most homes in the north end of Gig Harbor went up after 1990, and the building hasn't stopped. If yours is one of them, here's what that means for your floor.
- Give your new slab four weeks. Fresh concrete needs about 28 days to cure before any coating goes on.
- Test it anyway. Washington's code doesn't require plastic under a garage slab, so new doesn't mean dry.
- Grind off the builder finish. Your new slab may carry a sealer or curing compound, and the grind takes it off so the coating can grip.
- Mention the gate. Living behind one, like in Canterwood? Tell us when you book, and we'll sort out access before install day.
Haven't moved in yet? An empty garage is the easiest floor we'll do all year.
A shop or pole barn out back?
Got a bigger lot, say out toward Rosedale, with a detached shop on it? The same floor goes in there, with the same grind, flake and topcoat as your garage.
The pair here is one pole-barn shop, bare and then finished. More on shop floors.
How a Gig Harbor install runs
First, you clear everything off the floor, freestanding shelves included. Your wall-hung cabinets can stay. Then the job runs like this.

You'll get an exact, itemized price in writing after the moisture test. To set a budget, most pro-installed floors across the Seattle area land in these ranges.

Gig Harbor garage floor questions
What does garage floor coating cost in Gig Harbor?
Across the Seattle area, most pro-installed two-car floors run about $1,600 to $5,800, and a three-car garage or a shop costs more. Your number depends on size, crack repair, any old coating and whether the slab needs the moisture barrier. You get it in writing, line by line, after the free estimate.
Do you do epoxy floors in Gig Harbor?
We install the step up from epoxy. It has the same full-flake look, built on a polyurea base coat under a clear polyaspartic topcoat. You park on it after three days instead of about a week. It also flexes with your slab and won't amber in the sun. See how the two compare.
Will the coating hold up to a boat on its trailer?
Yes. The weight sits on the concrete, and the coating grips the ground surface of your slab. Give the floor its full 72 hours before the trailer rolls in, and set a small pad under the tongue jack and any jack stands. Rinse salt water off instead of letting it dry on the floor.
When is the best time to coat a garage that holds a boat?
When the boat is out of it. If yours winters in the garage and summers at the marina, a summer install means one less thing to move. Spring and summer book up first, though, so call early, or pick an early fall date before the boat comes home.
Do we have to empty the whole garage, workbench and all?
Yes, everything that sits on the floor comes out, including freestanding shelves and a workbench on legs, because we grind and coat the whole slab. Wall-hung cabinets and racks can stay. A tarped driveway or a neighbor's garage works for the few days it takes.
Is garage floor coating in Gig Harbor worth it if we might sell?
If you're staying a few years, it usually is. The floor cleans up in minutes, and the garage looks finished every time the door goes up. If you're listing next spring, a new floor may be more than you need, and a good cleaning might do. We'll tell you which at the estimate.
Do you come out to Fox Island and the rest of the peninsula?
Yes. We cover Gig Harbor and the Pierce County side of the peninsula, from Purdy and Canterwood to Artondale, Rosedale, Raft Island and Fox Island. Across the Narrows, we also cover Tacoma and the rest of the Seattle area. Not sure about your road? Call and ask.
Which flake color hides the mess best?
A busy, mid-tone blend, like a gray or a blue-gray, hides dust, tire marks and the odd drip better than a very light or very dark floor. Want to see it first? Try a few colors on a photo of your own garage in our color studio.
