Commercial-Grade Materials, Installed Correctly
Professional Epoxy Flake Flooringin St. George & Southern Utah
An epoxy floor lives or dies on prep. We grind the concrete to the right profile, moisture-test the slab, repair cracks, then install a commercial-grade base, full flake broadcast, and clear topcoat. That process, not the product alone, is what keeps a floor from peeling.
Every slab, before coating
Flake to refusal, no thin spots

Upkeep, just sweep & mop
The reason some epoxy floors peel in a year and others last a decade is almost never the kit in the bucket. It is the preparation and the installation.
Here is how a professional flake floor is actually installed, and why the steps you cannot see are the ones that matter most.
“Anybody can roll epoxy onto a floor. Whether it is still down in five years comes down to the grind, the moisture test, and the topcoat. That is the whole job.”
Why a one-day DIY kit fails
Most failed garage floors were rolled on over an unprepared slab. Epoxy needs a mechanically profiled surface to grip, and it needs a slab that is not pushing moisture up from below. Skip the grinding and moisture test and the coating has nothing to hold onto.
A hardware-store kit also gives you a thin coat and a weak topcoat. It looks fine for a season, then the hot tires and traffic find every shortcut that was taken.
- Moisture testing before any coating goes down
- Diamond grinding to the correct surface profile
- Crack and spall repair, feathered smooth
- Penetrating primer for a true mechanical bond
- Full flake broadcast into a wet base, no thin spots
- UV-stable clear topcoat for durability and sheen
Commercial-grade from base to topcoat
We install systems built for real use: a primer that bonds, a base coat broadcast to full flake refusal, and a clear topcoat that resists abrasion, chemicals, and UV. Every layer is matched to how the floor will be used.
That is what separates a floor that handles a working shop from one that scuffs and lifts under normal traffic.
Our step-by-step process
Moisture Testing
Test slab moisture levels, excess moisture beneath epoxy causes delamination and failure
Mechanical Grinding
Diamond grinder profiles the concrete surface for proper epoxy mechanical bond
Crack Repair
All cracks and spalls filled and feathered before coating begins
Primer Coat
Penetrating primer seals concrete and creates the chemical bond for the base coat
Base Coat + Flake Broadcast
Full flake broadcast into wet base coat, complete coverage, no thin spots
Topcoat Sealing
Clear protective topcoat locks in flakes, adds UV resistance, and delivers the final sheen
Built for St. George & Washington County
Moisture testing and the right topcoat are non-negotiable in Southern Utah. Slab moisture and intense heat are the two things most likely to lift a coating here, so we test for the first and specify products that resist hot-tire pickup for the second. It is local conditions, not a generic spec, that drive how we install.
