Your Concrete Floor Is Getting Worse Every Year
Bare concrete takes constant punishment — vehicle weight, chemical spills, dropped tools, moisture seepage, road salt tracked in every winter, and years of foot traffic grinding dirt into every pore. Over time, it cracks, pits, stains permanently, and sheds dust that settles on everything in your garage or basement. That dusty, oil-stained, cracking garage floor isn't just ugly. It's actively deteriorating. Every freeze-thaw cycle in Kansas City widens existing cracks. Every oil drip and antifreeze spill sinks deeper into the porous surface. And once concrete starts to flake and spall, the damage accelerates. The longer you wait, the more prep work (and cost) is required to fix it. KC freeze-thaw cycles widen cracks and accelerate deterioration every winter Oil, antifreeze, and road salt cause permanent staining in porous concrete Bare concrete sheds dust constantly — coating everything in your garage Cracks and spalling only get worse over time, increasing future repair costs The Solution
Professional Epoxy Coating — Beautiful, Bulletproof, and Built to Last
Impact & Abrasion Resistant Epoxy creates an extremely hard surface that handles daily vehicle traffic, dropped tools, heavy equipment, and workshop abuse without chipping, cracking, or showing wear.

Spills wipe clean instead of soaking in. Fills Cracks & Imperfections The coating fills hairline cracks and surface pits during application, creating a smooth, seamless finish. It actually strengthens the floor by adding thickness and surface integrity. Effortless Maintenance Smooth, non-porous surface sweeps and mops clean in minutes.

Stunning Appearance Choose from solid colors, decorative flake blends, or metallic finishes.

Three Steps to a Showroom Floor
Surface prep is 80% of a great epoxy job. We don't cut corners on this step. 01
Prep & Repair
We clean, degrease, and mechanically prep the entire concrete surface. Hairline cracks and imperfections are filled. Oil stains are treated. Proper prep is what separates a 2-year coating from a 20-year coating — and it's where most DIY jobs fail. 02
Apply & Customize
Your choice of color, texture, and finish is applied in even coats with professional attention to detail. Decorative flake chips, anti-slip additives, or metallic pigments are incorporated based on your preferences and how the space will be used. 03
Cure & Enjoy
Light foot traffic in 12–24 hours. Full cure for vehicle traffic in 24–72 hours depending on temperature and humidity. Then enjoy your new floor for the next decade or two. The transformation is dramatic — you won't recognize your garage. Finish Options
Choose Your Look
Three distinct finish styles — each with a range of colors. We bring samples so you can see them in your space. Solid Color Clean, uniform appearance in a wide range of colors. Classic look for garages, basements, and commercial spaces. The most popular choice for a sharp, professional finish. Decorative Flake Multi-color vinyl chips broadcast into the wet epoxy create a granite-like texture that hides imperfections and adds visual depth. Excellent for garages and workshops. Metallic Finish Pearlescent metallic pigments create a flowing, three-dimensional appearance that looks like liquid marble. A premium showpiece finish for spaces you want to show off
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Is epoxy flooring slippery when wet?+
Standard smooth epoxy can be slippery when wet — similar to sealed tile. We offer anti-slip texture additives that create a slightly textured surface for improved traction without sacrificing the smooth look. We highly recommend this for garages, commercial spaces, and any area exposed to rain, snow, or water. The texture is subtle — functional, not rough
What colors and finishes are available?+
We offer three finish styles: solid colors (wide range), decorative flake blends (multi-color chip broadcast for a granite-like look), and metallic finishes (pearlescent, flowing appearance). We bring samples to your home so you can see the options in your actual space and lighting before deciding. Anti-slip texture additives are available for all finish types
Can you install epoxy over cracked or damaged concrete?+
Yes. We fill hairline cracks and surface imperfections during the prep phase, creating a smooth foundation for the coating. The epoxy itself adds thickness that strengthens the overall floor. Severely damaged concrete with deep structural cracks may need repair before coating — Rick will assess this during the estimate and let you know honestly what's needed
How long does installation take? When can I use my garage again?+
Most residential garage floors are completed in a single day. Light foot traffic is typically safe within 12–24 hours. Full vehicle traffic is safe after 24–72 hours depending on temperature and humidity conditions during cure. Rick will give you exact timelines based on your specific job and current weather conditions
Can I park my car on an epoxy-coated garage floor?+
Absolutely — that's exactly what it's designed for. Epoxy coatings handle daily vehicle traffic, resist hot tire pickup and tire marks, and shrug off oil drips, brake fluid, antifreeze, and road salt. Your car, truck, motorcycle, or lawn equipment can all sit on the floor without concern
How long does epoxy floor coating last?+
Professional epoxy coatings typically last 10–20 years with normal residential use. Commercial applications with heavy traffic may need maintenance sooner. The biggest factors in longevity are proper surface prep and quality materials — which is exactly why professional installation outlasts DIY kits by years. Hardware store kits often peel within 1–3 years because the prep was inadequate
How much does epoxy floor coating cost in Independence, MO?+
Professional epoxy floor coating starts at $649 for up to 400 square feet, including complete surface preparation, crack filling, degreasing, and coating application. Additional square footage is priced per foot. We provide free, detailed estimates before any work begins — no surprises. Call (816) 836-1767 for a quote
