Explore our most popular flake, metallic, solid-color and marble finishes. We bring physical samples to every free in-home estimate so you can see them on your slab.
Every layer engineered for South Florida heat, Hialeah humidity, and the demands of a real garage floor.
01
Prepared Concrete Slab diamond-ground to CSP-2/3
The slab you already have, diamond-ground to a Concrete Surface Profile of 2 to 3. Cracks patched, and moisture tested—non-negotiable on Miami-Dade slabs over shallow limestone. Nothing above lasts unless this layer is right.
A pigmented, self-leveling 100%-solids epoxy, rolled wet-on-wet straight onto the freshly ground slab. This layer builds the color depth and film thickness that separate a real floor from a coat of paint.
03
Vinyl Flake Broadcast hand-cast to full rejection
Vinyl flake chips hand-broadcast into the wet basecoat until it takes no more. Scraped flat and vacuumed once it sets. One step delivers color, camouflage for wear, and grip underfoot.
The surface you actually walk on. This aliphatic polyaspartic topcoat seals the flake and shrugs off Hialeah’s year-round UV and heat, brake fluid, chemicals, and hot tires. Your 25-year warranty starts at this layer.

Hialeah Epoxy FAQs
Answers From Our Epoxy Flooring Professionals
The questions Hialeah homeowners actually search before coating a garage floor — answered honestly, including the downsides.
In Hialeah, most 2-car garages come in between $2,300 and $2,700 installed. Our flake system is $2,300 for a 2-car and $3,200 for a 3-car, all-in — no line-item surprises. Across the industry, professional coatings run roughly $5–$15 per square foot, driven mostly by the system you choose and how much the slab needs before coating. You leave your free in-home estimate holding one firm number, not a spread.
At roughly 400 square feet, a 20×20 garage falls squarely in standard 2-car territory. That puts it in our $2,300 flake range, provided the slab is in normal condition. Heavy cracking, pitting, or an old failing coating that has to be ground off will push the number up — and you’ll hear about that before we begin, never midway through.
Across the country, a professional 2-car install averages $1,500–$4,000, while a DIY kit lands around $300–$900. Here in Hialeah, real quotes tend to sit in the $2,300–$2,700 band. When a bid comes in far under that, it almost always signals thin material, an acid etch in place of diamond grinding, or a single-coat product that won’t go the distance.
Almost always because of prep. A $900 quote is a roller, a bucket, and an afternoon — no grinding, no moisture testing, no crack repair. A proper quote includes mechanically diamond-grinding the slab to a CSP 2–3 profile, patching cracks, and verifying moisture. That prep is the single biggest reason one floor lasts 20 years and another peels in two.
All of it: diamond-grind preparation, crack and pit repair, moisture testing, a 100%-solids pigmented epoxy basecoat, a full vinyl flake broadcast, a UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat, and a transferable 25-year warranty. There are no trip fees and no add-ons that surface after the work is finished.
Compared with tile, usually yes — tile runs more to install, and its grout lines crack and stain fast in a garage. Set against polished concrete the cost is roughly even, but a coating adds color, flake, and a non-porous surface that shrugs off oil and chemicals — something bare polished concrete simply can’t do.
Done right, absolutely. A bare Hialeah slab sheds dust and drinks up every oil drip; a sealed, non-porous coating flips that entirely — you sweep or hose it clean, it shrugs off brake fluid and hot tires, and the garage finally reads as finished square footage. But the worth lives entirely in the prep. Spray a coating over an unground slab and the money is simply gone.
The honest downsides: a bargain epoxy floor can peel, uncoated epoxy can amber under direct sun, and any glass-smooth coating turns slick when wet. All three are solvable, and we solve each one — diamond grinding for a true mechanical bond, a UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat that keeps its color, and a full flake broadcast that puts real grip underfoot. The downsides are real; so are the fixes.
If the slab has active moisture intrusion coming up from below, or major structural cracking or heaving that hasn’t been addressed, coating over it just traps the problem. That’s why we moisture-test before quoting. If your slab isn’t a candidate, we’ll tell you rather than sell you a floor that will fail.
A slick, glossy film can be, yes. Our flake and quartz systems solve it at the source: decorative chips broadcast into the wet basecoat leave a subtle underfoot texture that grips — which matters the moment you roll a dripping car in during a Hialeah wet-season downpour. For areas that get hosed down, we can add extra slip aggregate for more bite.
No, it won’t appraise like a new kitchen — but few upgrades return this much visible payoff for the money. A finished garage floor photographs well, tells buyers the home has been cared for, and gets noticed the second someone steps inside. And because our warranty transfers to the next owner, it reads as a genuine selling point rather than just a nice finish.
A professionally installed system runs 10–20 years, and longer still when the prep was done right — even under Hialeah’s year-round UV and heat-island load. Big-box DIY kits usually start peeling or yellowing inside 2–5 years because they’re thin, water-based, and rolled over an unground slab. Every floor we install across Miami-Dade carries a 25-year warranty.
At five years, a properly installed flake floor looks essentially like day one — perhaps a touch less gloss along the main tire path. A poorly prepped floor tells the opposite story by then: patches lifting where the tires park, chips along the door line, and yellowing anywhere the sun reaches. The finish that holds is the one ground and sealed correctly the first time.
Not when the prep is done right. The industry data on epoxy failures is blunt: up to 80% of failures trace back to poor surface preparation. Peeling and hot-tire pickup come from a weak bond; bubbles come from trapped moisture — and on Hialeah’s oolitic-limestone slabs sitting over a shallow, high water table, that vapor drive is very real. We diamond-grind to a CSP 2–3 profile and moisture-test every slab so neither problem gets a foothold.
Straight epoxy ambers over time under UV — that’s chemistry, not workmanship. It’s exactly why we never leave epoxy as the wear layer. Our polyaspartic topcoat is UV-stable, so the color holds even under Hialeah’s relentless year-round sun and heat-island glare, with the garage door open all afternoon in July.
Yes. Hot-tire pickup happens when hot rubber grabs a soft or poorly bonded coating and peels it up. Our polyaspartic topcoat stays rock-hard through relentless South Florida heat and is locked to a diamond-ground slab, so tires roll off it clean instead of dragging the finish with them.
It’s the wrong question — the two do different jobs, so we run them as a team. Epoxy brings film thickness, color depth, and a strong mechanical bite into the slab. Polyaspartic cures fast and, more to the point under Hialeah’s year-round UV, holds its color and resists chemicals. We pour a 100%-solids epoxy base, broadcast flake, and lock it under a polyaspartic topcoat — each material’s strength, neither one’s weakness.
Depends which layer you mean. As a wear layer, yes — polyaspartic beats epoxy on UV stability, cure speed, and hot-tire resistance. As a basecoat, a 100%-solids epoxy still gives the best film build and bond for the money. Anyone pushing a single-product floor is optimizing their own labor, not your slab.
The most durable floor is a multi-layer stack, not one product — a mechanically ground slab, a 100%-solids epoxy base, a full flake or quartz broadcast, and a polyaspartic wear layer. On a Miami-Dade slab, total film thickness and bond quality matter more than the brand on the bucket.
You can, and on a light-use slab a kit might last a few years. Here’s the honest tradeoff: big-box kits are thin, usually water-based, and rely on an acid etch instead of mechanical grinding — which is why most fail within 2–5 years. Once you tally grinder rental, materials, and a lost weekend, the DIY route often lands closer to a professional quote than people expect.
Only once the old coating has been handled the right way. If the existing floor is already lifting or delaminating, laying new epoxy over it just inherits that failure. We diamond-grind the old system back to sound concrete and rebuild from a clean profile. That adds labor — and we’ll price it honestly at your Hialeah estimate.
Nearly every residential garage is a single-day install. The morning is diamond-grinding and prep; that same afternoon we roll the basecoat, broadcast the flake, and seal it with the polyaspartic topcoat. The bigger light-commercial and warehouse slabs common around Hialeah and nearby Medley can stretch to two days — either way, you’ll have the schedule in hand before we start.
Foot traffic is fine in roughly 4 hours, and you can pull the car back in at 24. That quick turnaround comes straight from the polyaspartic topcoat doing its job — a plain epoxy floor would lock you out of the garage for the better part of a week.
A complete layered system: a vapor-barrier primer where the slab’s moisture readings call for one — not unusual on Hialeah’s high-water-table slabs — then a pigmented 100%-solids epoxy basecoat rolled corner to corner, vinyl flake broadcast to rejection, and a clear polyaspartic topcoat. The flake is scraped and vacuumed dead flat before that topcoat goes on.
Sweep or dust-mop it, then hose or damp-mop with a mild cleaner as needed — no wax, no resealing, no specialty products. Because the surface is non-porous, oil and brake fluid rest on top and wipe away instead of soaking in. After a Miami-Dade wet-season storm tracks grit inside, a quick rinse sets it right.
Yes. A single point of damage — a dropped jack stand, a toolbox gouge — gets spot-repaired and feathered in without recoating the whole slab. That’s one of the quiet advantages of a flake floor: the mottled pattern swallows the patch so you’d be hard-pressed to find it.
Any month works. Polyaspartic cures across a broad temperature range and the whole job happens inside your garage, so Hialeah’s heavy summer humidity doesn’t stop us — and with no real freeze here, cold snaps never enter the picture. We do moisture-test year-round, because slab moisture matters far more than the calendar.
It affects the installation, which is why we test for it. South Florida slabs carry real moisture vapor drive, and coating over it without a barrier is what causes bubbling and delamination later. We moisture-test every slab and use a vapor-barrier primer where the readings call for it.
It can if a slab isn’t handled right. Much of Hialeah sits on Miami-Dade’s limestone with a shallow water table, so moisture drives up through the concrete. Coat over that without addressing it and vapor pressure lifts the film, causing bubbling and delamination. That’s why we moisture-test every slab and use a vapor-barrier primer wherever the readings call for it — the step that keeps a floor bonded here.
Not under a properly installed system. Mold needs moisture and a food source; a fully bonded, non-porous coating over a moisture-tested slab leaves no gap for water to collect. Problems arise when a coating is applied over a damp slab with no barrier — the exact failure our moisture testing exists to prevent.
