Epoxy Garage Floors in Palatine, IL
Palatine coatings are steady work, especially in Winston Park where 1960s houses have attached two-car garages that are structurally fine but cosmetically finished. Those floors have absorbed sixty winters of road salt, and even where the surface has not spalled the concrete is porous enough that oil and salt stains have soaked in permanently. Out toward Plum Grove Hills the garages are larger, often three-car, and the conversation frequently extends to the apron outside the door. A three-car coating is priced on the full floor area.

Palatine specifics
No permit is needed for a coating. What comes up here more than elsewhere is the apron just outside the overhead door: on these 1960s houses it is usually the most deteriorated concrete on the property, and a freshly coated interior makes that contrast obvious. Coating stops at the threshold, so apron repair is quoted separately.
Questions
Does the coating extend outside the garage door?
No. Epoxy and polyaspartic are interior systems; ultraviolet light and plow contact destroy them outdoors. The coating stops at the threshold, and we quote apron repair separately where it is needed.
My garage floor is stained but not damaged. Is coating worth it?
Yes, because the staining means the concrete is porous and will keep absorbing oil and salt. A coating seals it permanently. That is the main reason Winston Park owners have it done.
How long before I can park on it?
Walk on it 24 hours after the last coat and park 72 hours after. Full chemical hardness comes at about seven days, so avoid dragging heavy items across it that first week.
