What You Get
Old garage floors in Lake County crack, sink toward the middle, and hold puddles of salty slush all winter. A new slab fixes all three. We pour garage floors at 4 to 5 inches over a compacted base and a vapor barrier, with a slight pitch toward the door so melt water leaves on its own.
The finish is steel-troweled for a smooth surface that is easy to sweep and ready for an epoxy coating if you want one later. We cut control joints and can add a trench drain at the door for detached garages that flood.
Removing the old slab means the garage is out of service for about a week. We schedule around you and keep the walls, door tracks, and framing protected throughout.

Can you pour over my old garage floor?
Usually not. Overlays trap moisture and fail. Replacement is the right fix and it costs less than people expect.

About 7 days from break-out to parking on it.
Do you do epoxy coatings?
We prep the floor so it is ready for epoxy. We can recommend a coating installer or apply a sealer.

Most builder garage slabs were poured on uncompacted backfill. It settles for years. A new slab on compacted base stops it.
