Garage floor coatings in Portage, WI
We install full-flake epoxy and polyurea garage floors in Portage and the Columbia County towns along the Wisconsin River.
Columbia County
What we see on Portage slabs
Portage is an old town by Wisconsin standards and the housing shows it — a great deal of it predates the subdivisions you find further south, with detached garages behind established homes and slabs that have been in the ground a long while. Age is not what rules a floor out. Surface wear grinds off, cracks and spalls get repaired as part of the preparation, and what matters is whether the concrete underneath is sound.
Being the county seat, there is a fair amount of commercial and light industrial floor here as well as residential. Shop and warehouse floors coat the same way and are quoted on the same basis, laid out in sections where the space has to stay in use.

What We Install
Which system suits Portage
We install full-flake epoxy and full-flake polyurea and we don't have a house favorite. What tips it one way or the other is usually local.
Older detached garages, which is much of what we see here, lean polyurea for the flexibility. Attached heated garages on the newer edges of town can take either, and epoxy is often the better value there.

Portage Questions
What people ask us in Portage
My garage is from the fifties. Is it too old to coat?
Very likely not. Old is not the same as failed — plenty of mid-century slabs are structurally sound and simply worn on the surface, which is what grinding removes. What we watch for is concrete that is actively breaking up or moving, and we will tell you straight if that is what we find.
Do you do commercial floors as well?
Yes. Shops, warehouses and light industrial floors use the same systems, quoted on square footage and slab condition. Larger jobs are usually sectioned so the space keeps working while we do.
Which towns around Portage do you cover?
Pardeeville, Wyocena, Poynette and Rio, along with Portage itself and the properties along the river between them.
What does a garage floor coating cost in Portage?
Full-flake epoxy runs $5 to $7 per square foot and polyurea $6 to $9, and on an older Portage slab the crack and spall repair is inside that price rather than added afterwards — which is usually the difference between our number and a lower one quoted before anybody looked at the concrete.
The floor has been painted before. Does that have to come off?
Yes, and it comes off in the grinding rather than being a separate job. Old paint and sealers are exactly what diamond grinding is for — the coating has to bond to concrete, not to whatever is sitting on top of it. A previously painted floor is common on houses this age and is not a problem.
