Storage & workshop
Bikes on the Farmington Canal Heritage Trail, tools, a second fridge — a coated floor makes it all easier to keep clean.
Cheshire is full of attached two- and three-car garages that work hard as storage, workshops and mudrooms. We give them a coated floor that shrugs off salt, oil and garden mess.

Bikes on the Farmington Canal Heritage Trail, tools, a second fridge — a coated floor makes it all easier to keep clean.
In a town known for its garden centers and nurseries, plenty of garages hold mowers, mulch and fertilizer. Coatings resist the spills.
Salt and slush from Route 10, I-691 and local roads end up on the slab every winter. Sealed floors keep it on the surface.
For a typical attached Cheshire garage, a full-broadcast flake epoxy floor or a polyaspartic flake system is the sweet spot. Both give a thick, textured, easy-clean finish that hides dust and tire marks. Polyaspartic typically cures faster and handles sunlight better, which matters with south- or west-facing doors. Epoxy flake usually costs a bit less.
If your home has an unfinished basement, it is worth considering a basement floor coating at the same time, after a moisture test. And for a home gym or game room, metallic epoxy can add a high-end look.
Newer slabs are usually in decent shape, but they can still have curing compounds, sealers or tire marks that block adhesion, so every job starts with mechanical grinding. Older slabs may need crack and spall repair — see floor prep.
Timing matters too. Epoxy generally needs slab temperatures of about 50°F or more to cure well, so unheated Cheshire garages are easiest to coat from spring through early fall. Polyaspartic typically tolerates cooler slabs, which can stretch the season if you want the work done before winter.
Wondering how long it lasts? Our article on how long an epoxy garage floor lasts covers what affects lifespan. For budgeting, see the cost guide.
Larger garages are priced per square foot like any other, so a three-car space costs more in total than a two-car but often a bit less per foot because setup is spread over more area. A typical two-car runs roughly $2,500–$4,800; a three-car scales from there based on the system and slab condition. We measure on site for an accurate quote.
Yes. A flake epoxy or polyaspartic floor resists fertilizer spills, wet mulch, grass clippings and the usual mower drips much better than bare concrete. Spills wipe up instead of staining. For heavy equipment, we recommend a thicker build and a durable topcoat, and we can add anti-slip texture where wet boots and tools come in from the yard.
It is up to you. Many Cheshire homeowners choose a flake blend that complements their trim or cabinetry, while others go with neutral grays that hide dirt. We bring color samples to the estimate so you can see them in your garage's lighting, which looks very different from a screen or showroom.
