Full-Flake Epoxy and Polyaspartic Garage Floors

A garage floor coating from Slab Lab Coatings is a full-flake system for home and business garages. We diamond grind the slab, check it for moisture and repair the cracks and pits. Next comes a high-solids base coat, a full broadcast of color flake and a UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat. Most garages are coated in one day.

Garage floor paint and DIY epoxy kits go on thin. One DIY kit's data sheet calls for one coat about 3 mils thick, over an acid-etched slab. Hot tires can soften a weak film and pull it up as they cool, a failure called hot-tire pickup. Our polyaspartic and polyurea systems go down in layers over diamond-ground concrete.

Minnesota winters are hard on garage slabs. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency estimates 365,000 tons of road salt go down in the Twin Cities metro each year. Cars carry that salt into the garage, and salt plus freeze-thaw makes bare concrete flake and pit near the door. We repair that damage before we coat, and you pick the look from two dozen flake color blends.

Commercial and Industrial

Coatings for Shop, Warehouse, Retail and Office Floors

Business floors take forklifts, pallet jacks, foot traffic and chemical spills. We coat warehouses, retail stores, offices, showrooms and shops with commercial and industrial floor coatings built for that wear. Property and facility managers get one company for the whole floor, repairs included.

Where floors get wet, slip-resistant quartz or a textured topcoat adds grip. Fast-curing systems limit downtime, and we plan the work around your operation. For a smooth, low-dust floor that is easy to clean, polished concrete is the other option.

  • Warehouses, shops, retail stores, offices and showrooms
  • Built for forklift traffic and chemical spills
  • Slip-resistant quartz and textured topcoats
  • Fast-curing systems that limit downtime

Inspector-Level Prep

Founded by a Former Coating Inspector

Slab Lab Coatings was founded by a former coating inspector. Inspectors see the same failures over and over: peeling, bubbling, cracking and coatings that let go of the slab. The cause is usually under the coating, in prep that was skipped or moisture nobody tested for. Other times the product did not fit the floor.

So every slab we coat gets the prep a coating inspector checks for. We diamond grind, test for moisture, repair cracks and pits and apply each coat at the right mil thickness. The estimate spells out the system, the mil thickness and the repairs for your floor.

Our polyaspartic and polyurea systems are chosen for Minnesota road salt, snow melt, humidity and freeze-thaw. We coat floors for homes and businesses under one company, with the same prep under every epoxy floor coating. We are also an authorized Rubber Stone dealer for driveways, pool decks, patios and walkways.

Why Choose Slab Lab Coatings

Coating Systems Chosen for Minnesota Winters

Founded by a Coating Inspector

Our prep follows the standards a coating inspector checks for, because the company was founded by a former coating inspector.

Ground and Tested, Every Slab

Every slab we coat is diamond ground and tested for moisture first. Cracks and pits are repaired before any coating goes down.

Chosen for Minnesota Winters

About 75 days a year the temperature swings across freezing in the Twin Cities. Our polyaspartic and polyurea systems are chosen for that and for road salt.

One-Day Garages, Two Dozen Blends

Most garages are coated in one day. One Google review describes a three-stall garage done between 8 in the morning and 2 in the afternoon. Pick your look from two dozen flake blends.

Josh was amazing to work with. He personally called after I did the Facebook quote and scheduled an estimate for the next day. He got me on the schedule within 2 weeks. The crew arrived at 8am sharp, and were gone by 2pm doing my 3 stall garage. It’s been 2 months and it’s still the favorite update we’ve done to our house since buying. I can’t recommend Josh and Slab Labs enough for getting your garage floor upgraded.

We were so happy with the new garage floor coating Slab Lab did in our garage. Josh was very informative and helpful every step of the way. The workers, Rey and Alex, arrived on time, were very hard working, courteous, and very skilled in all aspects of the job. They were all so pleasant and easy to work with. The floor is beautiful—no more ugly salt damaged concrete! Thanks, Slab Lab!

Highly recommend. I’ve had the floor in my garage for about a year, and it still looks brand new. If I move, I’ll be calling them again for the next garage.

Mark Ray2 months ago · Google review

Josh and team at slab lab coatings gave us a complete overhaul of our garage floor in the summer of 2025. After a winter of busy traffic, the slab quality and seal has held strong. Our experience with Josh and team at Slab Lab Coatings was truly top notch and we would recommend this service to anyone with high confidence. Josh spoke to us regularly through the process and allowed for additional custom quality implementations to meet the needs from a value standpoint. If you’re debating the service or are one the fence…. Go with Josh and team. You will not be disappointed!!

I had a great experience working with Slab Lab Coatings on my garage floor project. Josh and his team did an outstanding job from start to finish. They were professional, punctual, and took the time to explain the entire process before getting started. The quality of the workmanship really shows—the floor looks incredible and completely transformed the garage. Josh runs a very organized operation and clearly takes pride in delivering high-quality results. If you’re looking for a reliable company for garage floor coatings, I would highly recommend Slab Lab Coatings.

Josh and his team just finished our garage floor coating. Our floor was pretty damaged from salt and was a complete eye sore. One call to Josh and he came out for a free estimate explaining the entire process in detail. His install team was fabulous and very knowledgeable and explained things to us as they were doing them. Our garage floor turned out exceptional and matches our new custom colored driveway so good. Thanks Josh to you and your team. You saved our garage floor and we couldn’t be happier.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions About Garage Floor Coatings?

The questions homeowners and businesses across the Twin Cities metro ask us most. If yours is not here, call and we will answer it.

Call (612) 702-9724

How long before I can park on a new garage floor coating?
It depends on the products and the slab temperature, and the crew gives you the times before they leave. Our polyaspartic topcoat hardens in 6 to 8 hours. For cars, one polyaspartic maker's data sheet lists 2 days before vehicle traffic. A cold slab cures slower, so plan on more time in cool weather.
How much does a garage floor coating cost?
The price depends on your floor, so we price it at a free on-site estimate. Six things set it: the square footage, the slab's condition, the repairs, the moisture test, the system and the finish. For market ranges, see our guide to garage floor coating costs in Minnesota.
What areas do you serve?
We are based in Otsego and work across the Twin Cities metro, with the northwest side first. That includes Elk River, Rogers, Maple Grove, Plymouth, Brooklyn Park, Blaine and Andover, plus Minnetonka, Minneapolis and St. Paul. If your town is not listed, call or text (612) 702-9724 and ask.
Can you coat floors in the winter?
Yes for indoor floors: basements and heated spaces can be coated all winter. Outside and in unheated garages, the slab temperature decides. One polyaspartic data sheet lists 60°F to 90°F as the best range, with a 40°F minimum. Normal Twin Cities highs top 60°F only from May through September, the season for porches, patios and pool decks.
Should I choose epoxy or polyaspartic for my garage floor?
Our garage floors get polyaspartic on top, over an epoxy or polyaspartic base coat. Epoxy bonds well to ground concrete but can yellow in sunlight, so it sits under the topcoat. The polyaspartic topcoat is UV stable and hardens in 6 to 8 hours. Read epoxy vs polyaspartic vs polyurea for the full comparison.
Can you coat a pitted or cracked garage floor?
Yes, and the repair comes first. We fill cracks and salt pitting before the base coat goes down. Slabs with deeper damage can get a resurfacing overlay first; see concrete repair and resurfacing. A crack that keeps moving can still show through a coating later on.
What is Rubber Stone?
Rubber Stone is a trowel-down surface of rubber granules and polyurethane that goes over existing concrete. It is made for driveways, pool decks, patios, walkways, steps and garage floors, and its maker calls it skid-resistant. Slab Lab Coatings is an authorized Rubber Stone dealer, and our Rubber Stone rubber surfacing page covers colors and care.
Do you coat commercial floors?
Yes. We coat warehouses, shops, retail stores, offices and showrooms with systems built for heavy equipment and chemical exposure. Slip-resistant quartz and textured finishes are available, and we plan the work around your operation. See commercial floor coatings for the details.
