Epoxy Flooring in Chicago, IL
Garage floor coatings, metallic epoxy, commercial epoxy and polished concrete for Chicago homes, two-flats and businesses, with diamond-ground prep on every job.
Garage floor coating for Chicago alley garages
Many Chicago garages are detached, unheated and sit on older slabs off the alley. They take road salt, slush and freeze-thaw cycles all winter, and by the time owners call us many have cracks, low spots or a peeling DIY coating. We grind off what is there, repair cracks and spalls, then install a full-broadcast garage floor coating that hides salt residue and gives better grip when the floor is wet.
An unheated garage slab gets cold early in the fall. If you are booking late in the season, ask about a polyaspartic garage floor coating, which cures at lower temperatures and gets you parking again in about a day.
Basement floors in bungalows and two-flats
Chicago basements range from low-ceiling bungalow basements to garden units in two-flats. Before we coat, we test the slab for moisture, because older basements often wick water up through the concrete. From there, a light flake floor brightens a laundry or storage room, and metallic epoxy turns a finished basement or home bar into a feature. See our basement flooring page for the full process.
Commercial epoxy for Chicago businesses
Restaurants, breweries, auto shops, warehouses, retail stores and gyms need floors that clean up fast and handle constant traffic. We install commercial epoxy flooring with anti-slip and safety striping options, commercial garage floors for parking and fleet areas, and concrete polishing for large open floors. Ask us about scheduling the install around your business hours.

Chicago epoxy flooring FAQs
How much does a 1,500 sq ft epoxy floor cost?
A 1,500 square foot flake epoxy floor typically costs $8,440 to $13,500 installed in the Chicago area, depending on slab condition. Polished concrete for the same area runs about $8,630 to $12,000, and metallic epoxy costs more.
What is the downside of epoxy flooring?
Glossy epoxy can be slick when wet unless it has flakes or an anti-slip additive, standard epoxy can amber in direct sunlight, and it needs a warm slab to install. Most failures come from skipped prep, which is why we diamond-grind every floor.
How long does epoxy flooring last in Chicago?
A professionally installed flake floor over a ground and repaired slab typically lasts 10 to 20 years, even with road salt and winter traffic.
