We measure, inspect and moisture-test your concrete, help you choose colours, and send a clear written quote.
Diamond-grind prep
Industrial diamond grinding with dust control opens the concrete; cracks and pits are repaired.
Base coat & design
XPS epoxy base is applied, then flake is broadcast, quartz is laid, or metallic pigments are worked into your design.
Topcoat & cure
A durable clear topcoat seals the system for gloss, UV and wear resistance. We walk the floor with you on handover.

FAQ
Good questions
How long does an epoxy floor installation take?
Most residential garages and basements are completed in 1–3 days depending on size, concrete condition and the system chosen. We'll give you a firm schedule with your quote.
How soon can I walk or drive on it?
Typically light foot traffic within about 24 hours and vehicles after several days, depending on the coating system and temperature. We'll confirm exact cure times for your floor.
Does epoxy work in Nova Scotia's climate?
Yes. With proper diamond-grind prep and the right primer and topcoat, coatings stand up to road salt, slush, freeze-thaw cycles and hot-tire pickup. Moisture testing tells us which primer your slab needs.
What's the difference between metallic, flake and quartz?
Metallic is a glossy, marbled, one-of-a-kind decorative finish. Flake is a textured, forgiving, slip-resistant finish ideal for garages. Quartz uses coloured sand aggregate for maximum durability and slip resistance in heavy-traffic or wet areas.
Which products do you use?
We install XPS (Xtreme Polishing Systems) professional-grade epoxy, flake, quartz and topcoat systems.
