Epoxy Garage Floors in Mount Prospect, IL
Mount Prospect has more detached garages than most towns we coat, particularly on the older blocks where the garage sits at the back off an alley. Detached garages bring two considerations: they are usually unheated, which limits coating to April through November, and their slabs were often poured on grade without a vapor barrier, so moisture testing genuinely matters. In Prospect Meadows and Colonial Heights the attached garages are more conventional and a two-car coating is a straightforward measure-and-quote.

Mount Prospect specifics
Coating needs no permit. Detached garages here are the ones to plan around. Without heat the resin will not cure below about 50 degrees on the slab. And because many were poured with no vapor barrier, the calcium chloride test frequently requires a vapor-mitigating primer, which we price before quoting rather than after.
Questions
Can my unheated detached garage be coated?
Yes, between roughly April and November. Below about 50 degrees on the slab the resin will not cure. Outside that window we can arrange temporary heat for an added cost.
Why do detached garages need a vapor-mitigating primer more often?
Many were poured directly on grade with no vapor barrier under the slab, so groundwater vapor comes up through the concrete. That blisters a standard primer, so we test first and specify accordingly.
How much does the vapor-mitigating primer add?
It depends on the floor area, and it is a modest addition on a standard two-car garage. We test before quoting so it is in the price rather than a change order.
