The Short Answer
We work with two epoxy finishes: satin and gloss. Satin epoxy is the one we put on garage and shop floors. Gloss epoxy is the high-durability option that is easy to clean. Both are a coated finish for concrete that sees hard wear, and the right pick comes down to how the floor is used and how it should look.
Satin Epoxy for Garage and Shop Floors
A garage or shop floor takes a beating from vehicles, tools and foot traffic. Satin epoxy gives that kind of floor a durable coated finish with a softer, more even sheen than a mirror-style gloss. If you are coating a garage floor and want a clean, finished look that holds up to daily use, satin is where most of these conversations start.
Gloss Epoxy for Durability and Easy Cleaning
Gloss epoxy is the high-durability choice, and it is easy to clean. For a hard-wear concrete surface where spills and dirt are part of life, a smooth glossy coat wipes down without much effort. If keeping the floor clean matters more to you than a low sheen, gloss is worth a look.
How We Prepare and Apply the Coating
A coating is only as good as the surface under it. Every epoxy floor coating project follows the same simple flow we use for all of our repair and refinishing work.
- Free walkthrough. We look at the surface and put together a free estimate.
- Clean and prep. The floor is cleaned and prepped before any finish goes on.
- Finish coat. The epoxy coating is applied for a smooth, even, lasting result.
- Final walkthrough. We walk the finished space with you before we call the job done.
Choosing Between Satin and Gloss
If you are not sure which way to go, think about three things: how the floor is used, how easy you want it to be to clean, and the look you want when the work is done. A working garage or shop floor often points toward satin. A floor where easy cleanup and maximum durability come first points toward gloss. We are happy to talk through it with you during the walkthrough, so you can decide with the actual space in front of you.
Pairing Floors With Other Projects
Many homeowners who call about a floor also have other work on their list. We also handle interior and exterior painting as well as drywall repair, popcorn ceiling removal and deck staining, so related projects can be planned together.
