Garage Floor Coatings: For most of us here in Rochester, the garage is the true entrance to our home. It’s where we greet the day and where we return to. But year after year, it takes a serious beating. The slush, road salt, and de-icing chemicals from our Minnesota winters eat away at the concrete. It becomes a constant source of dust and dirt tracked into your home.
At Midwest Surface Coatings, we believe your garage deserves better. As Rochester’s trusted garage floor contractors, we specialize in transforming tired, damaged concrete into a durable, beautiful, and incredibly functional surface. This isn’t just a cosmetic fix; it’s a permanent solution and a smart investment in your home.
The Problems We Solve for Rochester Homeowners
Garage Floor Coatings: That bare concrete floor in your garage is porous and vulnerable.
We see the same issues in homes across the Rochester area, from new builds to historic properties. Our garage floor resurfacing service is designed to permanently solve these common problems.
- Pitting from Road Salt: The #1 enemy of Minnesota concrete. Salt and de-icing chemicals seep into the pores of your concrete, causing it to crumble and pit over time. Our coatings create an impenetrable barrier, stopping this damage for good.
- Ugly Stains: Oil, grease, fluids, and mud leave permanent stains on unprotected concrete. Our non-porous coatings are stain-resistant, so spills wipe away clean.
- Cracking: We repair this damage before we coat, for a smooth, stable, and long-lasting surface.
Our Advanced Garage Floor Coatings System
Garage Floor Coatings: While some people search for a basic epoxy garage floor in Rochester, we primarily install a far superior system using polyurea and polyaspartic materials..
These modern materials are more flexible, durable, and faster to install than traditional DIY epoxy kits.
● Decorative Chip Flake System
This is our most popular option for a reason. It combines a tough-as-nails polyurea basecoat with a full broadcast of multi-colored polymer flakes, sealed with a UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat.The result is a beautiful, granite-like appearance with a light, orange-peel texture for slip resistance.
The Midwest Surface Garage Floor Coatings Process
01Surface Preparation
We start by diamond grinding the entire concrete surface. This removes the weak top layer and opens up the pores of the concrete for maximum adhesion.
02Concrete Repair
We carefully repair all visible cracks, pits, and spalling with a fast-curing mender and grinder to create a smooth, seamless canvas.
03Pigmented Polyurea Basecoat
We apply a thick, 100% solids, self-priming polyurea basecoat for flexibility to handle the expansion and contraction of concrete in our climate.
04Full Broadcast of Flake
While the base coat is wet, we broadcast your chosen decorative flake blend to complete rejection.
05Scraping and Reclaiming
After the basecoat cures, we scrape the floor to remove any vertical or loose flakes for the final step.
06Protective Polyaspartic Clear Coat
We apply the final, crystal-clear topcoat. This polyaspartic layer is chemically resistant, abrasion-resistant, and 100% UV stable, so it will never yellow or fade.

Frequently Asked Questions: Garage Floor Coatings
How long until I can use my new garage floor?
You can walk on your new floor within 24 hours of completion, and you can drive your vehicle on it after 48-72 hours, depending on the season.
Is this better than a DIY epoxy kit?
Yes, by far. Our system uses industrial-grade materials and crucial diamond grinding preparation, resulting in a floor that is vastly more durable and will not peel.
How do I clean my coated garage floor?
It’s incredibly easy. A simple sweep or cleaning with a foam squeegee and a pH-neutral cleaner is all it takes to make it look brand new again.
What does a garage floor coating cost in Rochester?
The cost depends on the size of your garage and the condition of the concrete. We provide detailed, free, and no-obligation quotes after an on-site inspection.
