The Apex Approach: Quality and Precision

Our commitment begins from the moment our team arrives at your home. Each day, our crews start at approximately 8:30 a.m., ready with fully equipped trucks and trailers functioning as mobile workshops. These vehicles are outfitted with advanced equipment and materials capable of handling even the toughest challenges your concrete floor may present.

After greeting you, we carefully review the details of your project, answering any questions and ensuring you’re fully informed and comfortable before we begin. From there, our skilled crews move quickly and methodically through our six-step process, consistently achieving exceptional results.

Let’s break down each of these six essential steps to help you understand exactly what to expect.

Step 1: Surface Preparation—The Most Crucial Step

The secret to a long-lasting garage floor coating is meticulous preparation. The concrete surface must be thoroughly prepared to achieve the strongest possible bond between the concrete and our specialized coating.

Step 2: Expert Concrete Repairs

Once your floor is fully prepared, we focus on addressing any existing damage, such as hairline cracks, spalling, or pitting. If left untreated, these imperfections could compromise your new coating’s longevity and appearance.

Our experienced crews begin by widening hairline cracks using a diamond-cutting wheel. This allows us to inject high-quality crack filler deep into the concrete. Similarly, small pits, chips, or other imperfections are carefully filled and smoothed.

Step 3: Customized Base Coat Application

No two concrete floors are exactly alike. Moisture levels, concrete condition, age, and environmental factors all influence which type of base coat will perform best. At Apex Construction & Concrete Coatings, we customize our base coat formulas based on your specific needs, ensuring maximum adhesion, durability, and performance.

During this step, our trained design consultant will guide you in selecting the optimal base coat tailored to your concrete. Once chosen, our crew mixes the base coat components, adding pigments to precisely match your selected flake blend.

Step 4: Decorative Flake Application for 100% Coverage

After the base coat is applied, we immediately move to the decorative flake application. Decorative flakes add texture, slip resistance, and aesthetic appeal, hiding imperfections and providing a custom look tailored to your preferences.

Step 5: Flake Reclamation and Surface Smoothing

After broadcasting flakes and allowing the coating to cure completely, we return to remove any excess flake material. During this crucial step, our technicians use specialized flat metal-edge tools to scrape the surface carefully. This technique removes standing flakes and creates a smooth, even surface that’s comfortable underfoot and visually appealing.

Step 6: Durable, Non-Slip Top Coat Application

The final step in the Apex Construction & Concrete Coatings process is applying a high-quality clear polyaspartic top coat. Polyaspartic coatings offer superior durability, chemical resistance, and UV stability, ensuring your floor remains attractive and functional for decades.

Cleanup and Completion

At Apex Construction & Concrete Coatings, we believe in leaving your home as clean as we found it—if not cleaner. Once the floor coating is complete, our crews diligently clean the entire job site, removing any leftover materials, debris, and equipment.

Our technicians take pride in delivering friendly, professional service from start to finish. We encourage homeowners to ask questions at any point in the process, ensuring you’re confident and satisfied with your newly installed floor.
