A scope you can review before work begins
We meet you at the property, look at the surfaces and talk through what needs attention. The written estimate sets out the work being proposed, so you can ask questions before deciding.

Walk the project
Show us the areas you want addressed and any concerns about the existing finish.
02
Review the scope
Discuss preparation, materials, access and a practical schedule for the work.
03
Get it in writing
Review the proposed work and ask about anything that needs clarification.
What's included in a floor coating
Moisture test on the slab before anything is coated
Diamond grinding for mechanical prep — no acid etching
Cracks, spalls and control joints repaired and filled
Base coat, full flake broadcast, then a clear topcoat
Walls, doors and trim masked, edges cut in clean
Cure times respected before you walk on or park on it
Final walkthrough with us once the floor is cured
How a floor coating runs
1
Free on-site estimate
We measure the slab, check for moisture, cracks and old coatings, and confirm the flake color.
2
Written scope and schedule
A written estimate covering grinding, repairs, the coating system and your install day.
3
Grind and repair
The slab is diamond-ground to open the concrete, then cracks and spalls are filled.
4
Coat, cure and walkthrough
Base coat, flake broadcast, clear topcoat, then cure time before you park on it — usually about 24 hours.
What floor coatings typically costs in the Twin Cities
Garage and basement floor systems, priced by slab size. Every floor is diamond-ground first — that's what keeps a coating from peeling.
1-car garage (approx. 250 sq ft)
$1,800 – $2,800
Grind, crack repair, base coat, full flake broadcast, clear topcoat.
2-car garage (approx. 400–500 sq ft)
$2,800 – $4,500
The most common install — usually done in a single day.
3-car garage or basement slab
$4,500 – $7,000
Larger slabs, moisture testing, and joint treatment included.
Typical projects often fall within these ranges, but they are not quotes. Project pricing varies by size, prep, repairs, access, and coatings — your on-site estimate provides the final written price.

Number of coats and color changes
Epoxy is a thicker, lower-cost base layer that builds depth but yellows in sunlight and cures slowly. Polyaspartic goes on thinner, cures in hours, stays UV-stable, and shrugs off road salt and hot tires.
Most installs are a one-day job: grind in the morning, coat in the afternoon, walk on it that night, park on it in about 24 hours.
Prep is grind, repair cracks and spalls, and a moisture test before anything is coated — no acid etching.
Cracks, spalling, old failed coatings and oil staining all add grinding and repair time.
Prep required
Diamond grinding is what keeps a coating from peeling; more contamination means more prep passes.
Size and access
Square footage, plus whether the space has to be cleared and the slab kept clear during cure.
Coating system
Epoxy builds depth at a lower cost but can yellow in sunlight. Polyurea and polyaspartic systems cure faster and offer more flexibility; a UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat is useful where sunlight reaches the slab.
Timeline and scheduling
Most garages are a one-day install, but cure time still keeps vehicles off the floor for about a day.
Minnesota exposure
Road salt, freeze-thaw movement, moisture vapor, hot tires and chemical spills all affect system choice and how much slab preparation is needed.
Pricing guidance is not a binding quote. Your written estimate identifies the work included, preparation, materials, timeline and warranty.
Serving Shoreview, Vadnais Heights, White Bear Lake, Roseville, Arden Hills and surrounding north-metro communities.
Yes — full-flake epoxy and polyaspartic floor coatings for garages, basements, and commercial shops across Shoreview, Vadnais Heights, Roseville, Arden Hills, White Bear Lake, Blaine, Lino Lakes, Mounds View, North Oaks, and New Brighton. Diamond-ground prep, 100% solids epoxy base coat, full decorative flake, and UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat — cars back on the floor in 24 hours.
Yes — winter installs happen in heated garages held at a minimum 55°F for 24 hours before and after the pour. We use fast-cure polyaspartic topcoats that tolerate shoulder-season temps. Common in Shoreview, Vadnais Heights, and Blaine attached garages that stay above freezing all winter.
A properly-prepped diamond-ground epoxy + polyaspartic system lasts 15–20 years in a typical Twin Cities garage — including salt exposure, hot tires, and freeze-thaw. Big-box 1-part epoxy kits usually peel within 2–3 years because they skip mechanical grinding. Our workmanship is backed by a 3-year written workmanship warranty.
Polyaspartic and epoxy topcoats resist the chloride deicers used on Minnesota roads. Bare concrete absorbs salt, which leads to scaling and pitting; a properly bonded coating keeps that salt on the surface where it can be rinsed off.
A polyaspartic system is typically installed in one day, with foot traffic after about 24 hours and vehicles after about 72 hours. Traditional epoxy systems take longer to install and cure. Your written estimate lists the cure times for the system specified.
Often, yes. Most failures come from concrete that was not ground before coating. The failed coating can be ground back to bare concrete and re-coated. We inspect the floor first and tell you plainly whether it is worth saving.
Ask how the slab will be prepared, whether moisture will be tested, which coating system is specified, and what cure time applies before foot and vehicle traffic. We use diamond grinding rather than relying on acid etching and puts the system in the written estimate.
Cody is worth twice the price! For all You homeowners who are worried about what Contractor hire, take it from me: Cody is Excellent and you will not be disappointed. Hands-down, the best Painter we have ever used. Cody was fantastic. He is meticulous and did a flawless job. He was quiet, respectful, efficient, and best of all left us with a much better looking house than even when it was first built. The original Contractors sprayed paint and thinned it out with water to make it stretch and to allow them to get the job done quickly. It was never right. Cody fixed that and went above and beyond to carefully patch and sand all of the flaws in the trim and the various bumps and bruises that a house got from 20 years and five kids. If I could give him a 10 star rating I would. Just fantastic. I highly recommend him for the work he did. Thanks, Cody! AAAAAA+++++
Cody is an absolute professional. Do not hesitate to book him. He took such good care of our cabinets which really had me worried. He also painted our entire interior. He even offered to come back and touch up. I will be a repeat customer.
Painting the front of my house plus trim & fence gate. Price was reasonable.
Cody is the best professional painter, I would recommend him for any job. Cleans everything up, making sure all things are protected from paint splatters.
