OUR PROCESS
Using a five-step process that has improved upon industry standards and been perfected over years of experience, we offer the best floor coatings on the market, and continue to strive for improvement with every floor we install-all part of my passion for what we do. We are constantly innovating new products and methods to create the best floors; for instance, our new Natural Mica surface gives your floor the appearance of granite at a fraction of the cost. The competitive nature of this business always drives us to stay a step ahead of our competition.
The following process is used for the majority of our coatings. Occasionally, other methods are used based on the needs of the customer or the type of coating that is being installed.
- Grind: Diamond grind the entire surface, removing any foreign material such as dirt, debris, oils, and other stains.
- Repairs: Repairs will be performed to the existing concrete by repairing any cracks, damages, voids, and spalled concrete. The majority of the repairs will be virtually invisible once the coating is complete.
- Flexible Control Joints: Fill the expansion joint (control joint) with a flexible joint sealer, which provides the floor with a seamless look, doesn’t allow insects to burrow into any voids, makes the floor easier to clean, and allows the concrete to expand & contract naturally.
- Primer: Apply primer coat to the entire raw concrete surface, which will provide a great foundation and incredible adhesion.
- Chip: a Decorative chip that you have selected will then be broadcasted into 100% epoxy based coat.
- Clearcoat: The final step is to apply the clearcoat, which provides an extremely durable, chemical resistant, glossy sheen, easy to clean, and a rock hard surface to your garage floor.

Happy Customer!
In September, 2015, I decided to finally finish the 3-car garage that came with my house which I had built in 2011. I hired a general contractor to do the work. As part of the job, I wanted to have my garage floor epoxy-coated. The general contractor was going to do the floor coating himself, using department-store, off-the-shelf epoxies. He and I quickly came to the realization that he would not be able to give me a floor that would live up to my aesthetic and durability standards. So, I did some searching on the internet and came across NM Garage Floors. I called the number listed on a Saturday and not only had my call answered, but had a visit the next day, on a SUNDAY, from Tim, the owner. He showed up at my house exactly when he said he would (which, as you know, is pure gold when working with contractors), and described his flooring process to me. I knew right
away that I had made the right choice in choosing NM Garage Floors to do the job. My uncoated cement floor had been exposed to four years of dirt and oil, and had cracked and chipped in several places. Tim’s process involves meticulous preparation of the underlying floor to make sure that the epoxy will stick permanently. He also uses a hygrometer to make sure there is not an unacceptable amount of moisture permeating into the cement from the soil underneath. Everything Tim does with his floors is done to ensure durability. His hope is that you will only ever need one epoxy floor – the one he applies for you. As far as the looks of the floor, well, words can’t really describe it. Tim uses a dense application of mica and latex chips in his higher-end floors with 100% coverage, which gives the floor a very classy, upscale look. It also gives the floor an effective non-slip
