Every job gets the same prep-first process, whether it's a single garage bay or a small retail floor.
Flake, solid or polyaspartic systems built for road salt, tires and Calgary temperature swings.
Moisture-tested and vapour-mitigated where needed — Calgary clay soils get special attention here.
Multi-tone metallic pours for a statement floor in a workshop, studio or feature room.
Retail, studio and light-industrial floors that need to look sharp and shrug off daily traffic.
Calgary has plenty of epoxy installers with fifteen-plus years behind them. Here's what a small, brand-new shop can actually do better.
We take on a limited number of jobs a month, not a full calendar of back-to-back crews. That means more prep time, more care, and a slower, closer look at your slab before anything gets rolled on.
At most shops, the person who sells you the job isn't the person kneeling on your garage floor. Here it's the same person, so nothing gets lost between the estimate and the install.
A first-year business lives or dies on referrals. That's a direct incentive to over-deliver on every single floor, document everything, and never cut a prep step to save time.
Quotes and consultations outside the 9-to-5, without waiting in a call queue — useful if you're booking this around your own work schedule too.
We measure, check the slab for cracks and moisture, and give you a written flat-rate quote before we leave.
Grinding, crack repair and (for basements) moisture mitigation happen before a drop of epoxy goes down.
Most garage floors are walkable same-day with polyaspartic systems and fully cured within about a week.
We inspect the finish together and hand over your written warranty and care instructions.
Every system starts with a basecoat, gets a broadcast flake or metallic layer, and finishes with a chemically-resistant topcoat. We source from Chemtec Resin Supply, who supply and train installers across Alberta — including a Calgary branch.
A 100%-solids epoxy base bonds to the prepped concrete and gives the flake or colour layer something to grip. This is the step that gets skipped when a floor peels in year two — it doesn't get skipped here.
Vinyl flake blends or metallic pigments broadcast into the wet base coat for texture, slip resistance, and colour — the gallery below shows the main finish families.
An aliphatic polyaspartic topcoat seals the floor — UV-stable so it won't yellow in a sun-facing garage, chemical- and abrasion-resistant, cured fast enough for a same-day walkable floor.
These are representative renders, not photographed samples — actual flake size, density and metallic movement vary. We bring the physical Chemtec colour and flake chart to your on-site quote so you're choosing from the real thing before anything is mixed.
Most Calgary quotes stay private until someone shows up at your door. Here's what the market actually costs, so you walk into your quote informed.
Ranges are a starting guide based on current Calgary market rates — final pricing depends on concrete condition, oil staining, crack repair and moisture readings. Every quote is confirmed in writing after the on-site visit, with no changes once you sign off.
Epoxy and polyaspartic coatings need a minimum surface and air temperature to cure properly, so unheated garages in deep winter can push a job into spring. We check the forecast and your garage's heating before booking a date, and we'll tell you honestly if it's not the right week.
Calgary's clay-heavy soil and high water table mean basement slabs often carry more moisture than they look like they do. We test before quoting, and larger below-grade jobs may need a City of Calgary permit — we'll flag that during the assessment, not after you've paid a deposit.
Polyaspartic systems are typically walkable within hours and ready for light vehicle traffic in 24–72 hours. Full chemical cure — for hot tires and heavy use — takes about a week.
Every job comes with a written adhesion and wear warranty at the time of your quote. Terms depend on the system you choose — we'll walk through the exact coverage before you book.
Yes — the space needs to be fully cleared before prep day. If you need a hand planning around that (storage pod, timing around a driveway park-out), we're happy to help you plan the week.
Serving Calgary, Airdrie, Cochrane, Okotoks and Chestermere. Evening and weekend site visits available — this is a small, appointment-based operation, so a quick reply beats a walk-in.
