Every floor on this page is ours
No catalogue shots, no renderings and no stock photography. These are jobs Jimmy and Justyn finished for people around Berks County.
What you are actually looking at
Every photograph on this page is a floor this company laid, photographed on the job rather than supplied by a manufacturer. That is worth stating plainly because a lot of flooring galleries are not, and a rendered floor in a room nobody lives in tells you nothing about what a contractor will do to your concrete.
A few things are visible in these shots if you know to look for them. The chip goes all the way to the wall with no thin border where somebody ran out of enthusiasm. Where there is a coved base it runs continuously rather than stopping at the awkward corner. At the garage door the coating terminates into a cut line instead of feathering out to nothing, because a feathered edge is the first thing a tyre takes off.
The close up shot shows the thing that separates a full broadcast from a partial one. Chip on chip, no base colour showing through between the flakes, and the surface scraped back so the texture is even rather than sharp. That is what the second day of the job buys you.
Thirty one blends to choose from
The blend is the one decision that is genuinely yours, and it changes the character of the finished floor more than anything else. Darker mixes hide tyre marks and traffic. Lighter ones lift a basement that has two small windows. Warm tones run cooler underfoot on a deck in July and sit better next to brick and stone.
Jimmy brings the physical samples to the walkthrough rather than asking you to choose off a screen, because chip colour under a garage fluorescent and chip colour in daylight are two different things. Standing in the actual room with the actual sample takes ten minutes and removes the only part of this process people regret.

Looking at these and wondering
The questions the gallery tends to prompt.
How do I choose a flake blend?
Jimmy brings the physical samples to the walkthrough. Chip colour reads completely differently under a garage fluorescent than it does in daylight, so choosing off a screen is guesswork. Darker blends hide tyre marks best, lighter ones open up a basement, and warm tones run cooler underfoot outdoors.
Can you match a floor you did before?
Usually yes. The blend names are consistent, so if you liked a neighbour floor or you are extending into another bay we can normally order the same chip. Bear in mind that lighting changes how a blend reads, so the same product in a different room will not look identical, which is worth seeing in person before you commit.
Are these floors slippery when wet?
No. The flake broadcast leaves a texture under the topcoat that gives real grip, and on pool decks, steps and entrances we specify a coarser texture deliberately. That is the reason flake is the standard choice anywhere water lands on the floor rather than a decorative preference.
How do I look after it?
A dust mop for the everyday and a mild cleaner with warm water when it needs more. No wax, no polish and nothing acidic. For a garage, hosing it out is fine. The finish does not need sealing or topping up, which is rather the point of it.
How long will my garage be out of use?
Most residential garages are a two day job. Day one is grinding, repair, base coat and the flake broadcast. Day two is the scrape back and the polyaspartic topcoat. You can usually walk on it that evening and put the car back after about three days, which gives the system time to harden properly before hot tyres sit on it.
Is the warranty actually in writing?
Yes, you get it on paper. It covers the residential interior system against loss of bond, so peeling and delamination, for as long as you own the floor. We are comfortable offering that because the preparation is done properly, and a floor that was ground and repaired before the first coat does not come off. Outdoor work carries its own separate terms.
