Project Type: Residential Garage
Location: North York, Toronto, ON
System Installed: Epoxy Flake Flooring System
Project Duration: 2 Days
This spacious residential garage in North York was upgraded with a durable epoxy flake flooring system designed to completely transform the look and functionality of the space.
The homeowner wanted more than just a basic concrete floor. The goal was to create a clean, polished, and low-maintenance garage that felt like a true extension of the home while standing up to everyday vehicle use, moisture, road salt, and seasonal wear.
Before the Transformation
The original concrete slab showed the typical signs of aging garage floors:
- Surface staining and discoloration
- Tire marks and wear patterns
- Minor cracking and surface imperfections
- Dull concrete that collected dust and dirt easily
While structurally sound, the garage lacked the clean and finished appearance the homeowner was looking for.
Our Process
Over the course of 2 days, our team completed a full flake flooring system installation using professional surface preparation and commercial-grade materials.
Day 1: Surface Preparation & Base Coat
Preparation is the most important part of any long-lasting garage floor system. We began by:
- Mechanically grinding the concrete surface
- Removing contaminants and weak surface layers
- Repairing minor imperfections and cracks
- Preparing the slab for maximum coating adhesion
Once the floor was fully prepped, we applied the epoxy base coat followed by a full vinyl flake broadcast to create texture, depth, and durability.
Day 2: Scraping, Detailing & Protective Topcoat
On the second day, we:
- Scraped and leveled excess flakes
- Vacuumed and cleaned the entire surface
- Applied a durable protective topcoat for long-term performance
The final result is a seamless and highly durable garage floor with a clean modern finish that instantly upgrades the entire space.
Why Flake Flooring is Ideal for Residential Garages
Garage flake systems have become one of the most popular flooring upgrades for Toronto homeowners because they combine durability with appearance.
Benefits include:
- Resistance to tire wear, moisture, and road salt
- Slip-resistant textured surface
- Easy cleaning and low maintenance
- Improved brightness and overall appearance
- Long-lasting protection for the concrete slab
Unlike bare concrete, a professionally installed flake system creates a finished surface that performs well year after year with minimal upkeep.
The transformation completely changed the feel of the garage. What was once a plain concrete space is now clean, bright, and professionally finished with a durable flooring system built for real daily use.
Completed in just 2 days, this project delivered both immediate visual impact and long-term value for the homeowner.
