Install Durable Coatings for Garage and Basement Floors

Dean's Painting LLC offers epoxy flooring services for garages, basements, and commercial spaces in Evansville.

Concrete floors in garages and basements in Evansville absorb oil, dirt, and moisture over time, which leaves stains that do not come out with regular cleaning and makes the floor look worn and dull. Bare concrete also produces dust as the surface breaks down from foot traffic and vehicle use, and it cracks or chips more easily than a coated floor when heavy objects are dropped or dragged across it.

Dean's Painting LLC installs epoxy flooring in garages, basements, and commercial spaces throughout Evansville, creating a durable, easy-to-clean surface designed for heavy use. We prep the concrete by grinding and cleaning it so the epoxy bonds properly, and we apply the coating in layers to build a thick, moisture-resistant finish. Epoxy improves the appearance and functionality of concrete floors while protecting them from stains, moisture, and wear.

Surface Preparation and Coating Application for Concrete

We start by grinding the concrete floor in your Evansville garage or basement to remove sealers, oils, and surface contaminants that would prevent the epoxy from adhering correctly. Grinding also opens the pores of the concrete so the epoxy can penetrate and form a strong bond, and it levels minor surface imperfections that could show through the finished coating.

Once the epoxy cures, you will see a smooth, glossy surface that reflects light and makes the space feel brighter and cleaner. Professional surface prep ensures proper adhesion. The coating is also moisture-resistant, so water and spills sit on the surface instead of soaking into the concrete, and you can mop or hose down the floor without worrying about stains or damage.

Epoxy flooring is a popular upgrade for garages in the Newburgh area because it holds up to vehicle traffic, resists chemicals like gasoline and antifreeze, and does not chip or peel when maintained correctly. The coating typically takes two to three days to install including prep, application, and cure time, and you need to keep vehicles and heavy items off the floor for at least 24 hours after the final coat is applied.

What makes epoxy flooring more durable than paint?
Epoxy is a thick, resin-based coating that bonds chemically to concrete and hardens into a wear-resistant surface. Paint is thinner and sits on top of the concrete without penetrating, so it chips and peels much faster under heavy use.

How do you prepare concrete for epoxy installation?
We grind the surface to remove contaminants and open the pores of the concrete, then vacuum and clean the floor thoroughly. Any cracks or damage are filled and leveled before the epoxy is applied.

How long does epoxy flooring last in a garage?
Most epoxy floors last 10 to 15 years in residential garages if maintained properly. Floors in commercial spaces with heavier traffic may need recoating sooner depending on use.

What happens if moisture is present in the concrete?
Moisture prevents the epoxy from bonding and can cause the coating to bubble or peel. We test the concrete for moisture before installation and address any drainage or sealing issues if needed.

Why is epoxy flooring popular for basements?
Epoxy creates a moisture-resistant barrier that prevents water from soaking into the concrete, which helps control humidity and protects stored items. It also brightens the space and makes the floor easier to clean than bare concrete.
