Garage floor coating keeps winter brine, motor oil and hot-tire marks on top of the slab, where a squeegee or mop deals with them. Each garage floor coating we put down is bonded to diamond-ground concrete and sealed under a clear coat that holds its colour.
Kingston garages have a rough job. Cars roll in off Taylor-Kidd Boulevard and Bath Road dripping with salty slush through a long snowy season. That slush melts on the slab, soaks into the pores and freezes overnight. After a few winters the surface starts to scale and pit.
A coated floor breaks that cycle. The brine pools on top, and you push it out with a floor squeegee.
A garage floor coating holds only as well as it grips the concrete. Our diamond grinder takes off the weak top skin and opens the pores so the base coat bites in. Kits use an acid wash instead, which leaves soft residue behind, and that is why so many of them peel.
Once the floor is ground, we fill cracks, pits and saw joints so the surface runs flat from the back wall to the door.
Most Kingston garage owners pick from three systems. A solid colour base under a clear topcoat is the plainest. A flake epoxy floor adds texture and hides dirt. A polyaspartic floor coating cures quickly and copes with cool days, which makes it a strong pick for October and November jobs.
Wet tires and snowy boots make a gloss finish slick, so we stir a fine grit into the final coat.
In Kingston, a garage floor coating for a standard two-car garage costs roughly $2,400 to $6,500, and a single bay costs less. Older garages in Kingscourt or Portsmouth often need extra crack work. Newer ones in Bayridge, Westbrook and Amherstview usually prep faster.
The quote shows the square footage, the coating system and each repair, so nothing is a surprise.
Detached garages behind older homes in Portsmouth and Williamsville often have thin slabs that slope, crack and sink toward the door. A garage floor coating can still go down on them. We grind off the high ridges, build up the low corners with an epoxy patching mortar and seal open cracks so water drains out instead of pooling.
Heated workshop garages are a different case. They stay warm all winter, so epoxy cures well in them in any month, and we can book those jobs between December and March when the schedule has more room.
A coated garage floor needs very little care. Push meltwater out the door with a floor squeegee every few days in the snowy months. In April, rinse off the season's salt film with a hose and a mild soap, and the floor looks the way it did on install day.
A garage floor coating also makes spring cleaning faster. Leaf litter, sand and grass clippings sweep straight off a coated slab.
Phone (613) 777-8123 and we will come out, tape-measure the garage and look over the slab at no charge. Your garage floor coating quote lands in writing a few days later, and the job is fully insured from start to finish. The rest of what we do is on the Kingston Epoxy Floors home page.
Plenty of Kingston properties end up pairing two, like a coated garage with a finished lower level.
Basement epoxy flooring gives a chilly, dusty lower level a bright, sealed surface that mops dry in minutes after a spill. We fit it to family rooms, home gyms, laundry areas, hobby workshops and student rental suites.

Concrete floor repair deals with the cracks, spalls, dips and peeling paint that would print through a fresh coating. We make the slab solid first, because a new floor is only as sound as the concrete it sits on.

Polyaspartic floor coating sets up within hours, keeps its clarity under sun through an open door, and goes down on cooler concrete than standard epoxy will accept.

Commercial epoxy flooring puts a joint-free, wipe-clean surface under clinics, labs, offices and storefronts. It takes rolling carts, office chairs and the nightly mop in stride.

Commercial kitchen flooring for restaurants, cafés and food plants is a seamless resin floor that curves up the wall at a cove. Hot water, grease and sanitizer have no grout line to get into.

Industrial epoxy flooring puts thick resin armour on production floors, test labs and maintenance shops where forklifts, dropped parts and chemical drips come with every shift.

Warehouse floor coating guards distribution and storage slabs against forklift scuffing, concrete dust and spills, and it makes long aisles noticeably brighter.

Flake epoxy floors bury a blend of coloured vinyl chips in the base coat, which leaves a speckled finish that disguises grit and gives boots more grip. Kingston garages ask for them more than any other look.

Metallic epoxy floors swirl pearl pigments through clear resin for a deep, marbled look. Finished basements, home bars, salons and showrooms are where it shows best.
