In Grand Junction and across the Western Slope, your garage flooring faces a unique combination of challenges—dry heat, dust, snowmelt, and intense UV exposure at elevation.
The difference between a coating that lasts decades one that starts peeling in 2 often comes down to the process behind it.
Built for Altitude: The 2-Day Coating System
At Garage Floor Coating Western Colorado, we use a 2-day installation system, because mountain conditions require more than speed. Our coatings are designed to last decades, not just seasons.
Day One: We mechanically grind the concrete to ensure a clean, porous surface. Then, we apply a slow-curing, 100%-solids, moisture-mitigating epoxy primer that, once cured, acts as a moisture vapor barrier. Moisture mitigation is crucial in areas with freeze-thaw cycles. Into this wet primer, we fully broadcast a vinyl or mica-infused flake blend for strength and style.
Day Two: After the primer cures, we return the next day to apply two coats of 100%-solids polyaspartic topcoat. These dual layers are UV-stable, chemical-resistant, and durable enough to handle Colorado sun, snowmelt, and tire heat without yellowing or lifting.
The result is a multi-layer garage floor coating that can last a long, long time, and it’s backed by a lifetime warranty against peeling, even from moisture vapor.
Why 1-Day Systems Don’t Cut It in the Rockies
Quick-turn coatings are popular, but they’re rarely built for performance. Most 1-day systems:
- Skip the moisture-mitigating primer
- Rely on one thin, poorly penetrating polyurea (or polyaspartic) layer as the direct-to-concrete primer coat
- Apply a single, less-than-100%-solids clear polyaspartic topcoat (not 2)
In Colorado’s climate, these shortcuts lead to peeling, bubbling, discoloration, and premature failure—often within just a few years.
