Garage floors, basements, commercial spaces. Seamless finish. Stain and impact resistant. Long-lasting protection for Michigan properties.
Epoxy floor coatings transform dull concrete into durable, attractive surfaces. Whether you’re looking to protect a garage floor, create a finished basement space, or upgrade a commercial facility, epoxy provides superior protection and appearance.
Ellison Painting has completed 3,000+ projects including epoxy floor installations. We understand surface preparation, epoxy application, and how to create finishes that look beautiful while protecting concrete against Michigan’s weather and use.
Untreated concrete faces constant challenges:
Michigan's humid climate and seasonal moisture create water infiltration challenges. Untreated concrete absorbs moisture, leading to deterioration, staining, and mold growth. Epoxy creates a moisture barrier that protects concrete structure.
Oil, salt, and chemicals stain and degrade untreated concrete. These substances are permanent without sealant protection. Epoxy resists staining and chemical damage, making cleanup easy.
Michigan's winter freeze-thaw cycles stress unprotected concrete. Water enters cracks, freezes, and expands, causing spalling and deterioration. Epoxy seals concrete against this damage.
Driveways, garage floors, and commercial spaces experience impact, abrasion, and constant wear. Unprotected concrete dusts, cracks, and deteriorates. Epoxy provides protective coating that resists impact and wear.
Bare concrete looks unfinished and is difficult to clean. Epoxy creates attractive surfaces that are easy to maintain and keep clean.

Questions about your epoxy project? We respond within 60 minutes during business hours.
Epoxy success depends on thorough concrete preparation. We professionally prepare surfaces, address damage, and ensure perfect adhesion.
We use professional-grade epoxy engineered for durability, moisture resistance, and long-term performance, not consumer-grade products.
We follow manufacturer specifications precisely. Proper base coat, topcoat technique, and curing time mean superior results.
We evaluate your concrete:
Current condition and existing coatings
• Moisture issues or water damage
• Cracks, spalling, or structural concerns
• Traffic level and use demands
• Color and finish preferences
We ensure proper conditions:
• Moisture level testing
• Address any active water issues
• Assess concrete quality and adhesion
• Plan necessary repairs before epoxy
• Establish drying timeline if needed
We help choose the right epoxy:
• One-part vs. two-part epoxy systems
• Color and finish options
• Anti-slip vs. glossy finishes
• Custom effects or designs
• Durability and maintenance planning
Proper prep is critical for epoxy success:
• Concrete cleaning and degreasing
• Grind surface for epoxy adhesion
• Repair cracks and damage
• Fill low spots or imperfections
• Allow proper drying time
• Final surface inspection
We deliver quality finishes:
• Consistent technique across all spaces
• Quality control inspection at project phases
• On-schedule progress and completion
• Professional appearance maintenance during project
• Regular communication with management
We complete the installation:
• Full curing time before heavy use (typically 24-48 hours)
• Final surface inspection
• Address any touch-ups or defects
• Provide use and maintenance instructions
• Establish maintenance schedule
A bare concrete floor becomes an attractive, finished surface. Epoxy can be glossy, matte, colored, or custom-designed.
Epoxy resists oil, salt, chemicals, and staining, making cleanup easy and the surface attractive long-term.
Professional epoxy lasts 5-10+ years under normal use. Quality preparation and application determine longevity.
Epoxy surfaces are simply swept and mopped. Stains wipe clean. Dust doesn’t develop like on bare concrete.
Epoxy seals concrete against water infiltration, protecting from freeze-thaw damage and deterioration.
Finished epoxy floors transform underutilized spaces like garages and basements into attractive, functional areas.
Epoxy flooring is more affordable than other flooring options while providing superior protection and durability.
Most garages are done in two to three days including cure time. Grinding and prep take the first day, coatings go down after that, and you can usually walk on it before you can park on it. We give you exact re-entry times for your floor.
That is one of the main reasons people here install it. A properly prepped epoxy floor resists salt, brine and the freeze-thaw cycle far better than bare concrete, which absorbs everything and spalls over time. Cleaning it is a hose and a squeegee.
Usually yes. Cracks get routed and filled, and oil stains get degreased during prep. Concrete that is badly spalled or actively heaving is a different conversation, and we will tell you at the walkthrough if your slab needs repair before coating makes sense.
Epoxy bonds to a profile, not to a sealed smooth surface. Diamond grinding opens the concrete so the coating locks in. Floors that peel almost always skipped this step, and it is not something you can tell by looking at the finished job on day one.
Flake systems in grey, tan and blue tones are the most popular for garages, and going lighter brightens a dark space. There is a choice of topcoat sheen and slip resistance as well. We will show you samples and talk through what suits the way you use the garage.
