Why a coating fails, and what the slab is telling you
A failed coating in Dearborn rarely starts at the top. It starts at the bond, where the old resin lost its grip on the slab. Once that grip goes, the floor flakes, peels, and bubbles under tires and foot traffic. We pour epoxy that fixes the cause, not just the look. If the slab is sound, our Garage Floor Epoxy stack goes right back down once the old layer is gone.
First we read the slab. We grind a small area to see how deep the failure goes and whether the concrete under it is still strong. If the bond is gone but the slab is solid, we strip the old coating, open the surface, and lay a fresh system. If a patch of concrete came up with the coating, we fill it with mortar and level it. Then the new epoxy floor goes down in coats, the same way a brand new floor does.
- We test the floor before quoting, so the price matches the real damage.
- Most repairs wrap in about a day once the old coating is off.
- Mortar patching fills the spots where the slab broke away with the coating.
- The new floor uses the same coats and prep as a fresh install.
- You walk on the floor that evening and park on it the next day.
We pour epoxy floors in garages and basements across Dearborn and the rest of Wayne County. The crew that looks at your floor is the crew that pours it. We tell you straight whether a recoat will hold or whether the old floor has to come all the way off. Salt, freeze, and thaw are hard on every slab here, so we match the fix to what Dearborn winters do to concrete. No runaround, and no upsell you did not ask for.
If your garage floor is peeling, send us a photo or just call. We will tell you whether it needs a recoat or a full redo, and book the visit. You reach the people doing the work, not a call center.
