Project Type: Residential Garage
Location: Mimico, Etobicoke, ON
System Installed: Epoxy Flake Flooring System
Project Duration: 2 Days
This garage in Mimico, one of Etobicoke’s busiest residential pockets, was upgraded with a full epoxy flake system designed for durability, clean aesthetics, and everyday functionality. The homeowner wanted a floor that not only looked sharp but could also handle vehicles, storage use, and seasonal wear without constant upkeep.
What We Walked Into
The existing concrete was structurally sound but showed signs of typical garage use – minor surface wear, dusting, and lack of protection. Like most garages, it was exposed to:
- Tire marks and abrasion
- Moisture from snow and rain
- Dirt, salt, and debris buildup
The goal was simple: create a clean, durable, and low-maintenance surface that holds up year-round.
Our Approach
We completed the entire installation over 2 days with a proven, step-by-step system:
Day 1 – Surface Prep & Base Coat
- Mechanically ground the concrete to remove impurities and open pores
- Repaired small cracks and surface inconsistencies
- Applied a high-bond epoxy base coat
- Broadcast decorative vinyl flakes evenly across the surface
Day 2 – Scrape, Clean & Seal
- Scraped excess flakes for a uniform texture
- Vacuumed and detailed the surface
- Applied a durable polyaspartic topcoat for protection and longevity
Why Epoxy Flake System Was the Right Choice
For residential garages, a flake system isn’t just about looks – it’s built for real use. This system offers:
- Slip Resistance: Textured finish improves grip, especially in wet conditions
- Durability: Handles vehicle traffic, storage weight, and daily wear
- Moisture & Salt Resistance: Perfect for Canadian winters
- Low Maintenance: Easy to clean, no dusting or staining
- Clean, Finished Look: Instantly upgrades the entire space
The End Result
The transformation is clean and noticeable right away. The garage now has a seamless, professional-grade floor that’s built to last and easy to maintain. It’s no longer just a storage space – it feels like a finished extension of the home. Completed in just 2 days, this project delivered a fast turnaround with long-term value.
