What Customers Have to Say About Slab Lab Coatings
We are extremely happy with the quality and professionalism of Josh and his crew in repairing and finishing our garage floor. Would highly recommend this company. We selected Thyme which looks just spectacular!
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.
Josh was great to work with throughout this entire process. He patiently explained everything to me and never pressured me, which I really appreciated. Our garage floor was in pretty rough condition due to salt from our cars and Josh meticulously repaired the floor in order to make sure everything looked perfect in the end. He was efficient, despite the weather not cooperating, and a pleasure to work with. We have gotten so many compliments on our floor already! I honestly could not be happier that we did this.

Slab Lab Coating Process
Diamond Grind
We grind, repair, and vacuum the surface to ensure maximum adhesion.
Repair
We fix cracks or chips in the concrete for a smooth, seamless surface.
Coat
We apply a high-solids self-priming epoxy or polyaspartic base coat.
Flake
We spread polymer flakes evenly for uniform texture and color.
Scrape
Excess flakes are removed to create a level surface, prepping for final sealing.
Seal
A scratch-resistant, UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat is applied and hardens in 6-8 hours.
The Slab Lab Difference
| Category | Polyurea / Polyaspartic System (What Slab Lab Uses) | Standard Epoxy Floors (What Most Competitors Use) |
|---|---|---|
| Strength & Flexibility | Highly flexible—expands and contracts with Minnesota temperature swings. Much stronger bond to concrete, prevents cracking, peeling, and delamination. | Rigid and brittle. Cannot flex with concrete movement, leading to peeling, cracking, and hot-tire pickup. |
| Durability | Industrial-grade – 4X more durable & designed for garages, basements, and outdoor areas. Withstands heavy traffic, impacts, dropped tools, and daily use. | More prone to scratching, chipping, hot tire lifting, and surface wear—especially in cold climates. |
| Chemical Resistance | Exceptional resistance to road salt, gasoline, oil, brake fluid, household chemicals, and deicers. Ideal for Minnesota winters. | Chemical staining and damage are common. Road salt, oil, and deicers can permanently mark or compromise epoxy. |
| UV Stability | 100% UV stable—won’t yellow, fade, or discolor outdoors or near windows. Perfect for patios and sunny garages. | Yellows and fades over time, especially in sun-exposed areas. Not recommended for outdoor concrete. |
| Cure Time | Fast cure—walkable within hours, ready in 1 day, fully usable in 24–48 hours. | Slow cure—can take 48–72 hours or longer. Sensitive to humidity and temperature during installation. |
| Lifespan | 15–20+ years with proper maintenance. Engineered for long-term performance in extreme climates. | 3–7 years before peeling, cracking, or wearing out. Shorter lifespan in cold-weather states. |
| Bond to Concrete | Penetrates deeper into the concrete for a permanent mechanical bond. Resists moisture pressure and salt intrusion. | Sits more on the surface with a weaker bond. More likely to fail over time, especially on older or porous slabs. |
| Appearance & Finish | Rich, premium finish with high clarity. Available in dozens of flake blends, colors, and custom textures. Looks like a showroom. | Glossy but less refined. Limited style options. Can develop dull spots or wear patterns. |
| Feel (Texture & Comfort) | Slip-resistant options available. Slightly warmer underfoot. Seamless and smooth but safe to walk on—ideal for garages and basements. | Can be slick when wet. Tends to feel harder, colder, and less comfortable. |
| Maintenance | Extremely low-maintenance. Just sweep and mop. Resistant to dust and stains. | Requires regular cleaning and recoating. Prone to staining and dulling. |
| Outdoor Use | Excellent—designed for patios, porches, pool decks, and sun-exposed concrete. | Not recommended outdoors. UV exposure causes yellowing and peeling. |
| Cost vs. Value | Slightly higher initial cost but dramatically lower lifetime cost due to longevity and performance. | Lower upfront cost, but higher long-term cost due to early failure and replacement. |
Concrete Repair & Prep
Every garage floor is mechanically diamond-ground to open the pores of the concrete and create a permanent bond.
We also repair:
- Cracks
- Pitting
- Spalling
- Uneven or damaged areas
This ensures the coating adheres correctly and lasts for years.
