Concrete coatings in Boston, Massachusetts
Concrete floor coatings built for Boston
Boston homes, from triple-deckers to older single-families in Revere, Chelsea and Winthrop, often have basements and garages that are tight, damp and very old. We prep and coat them so they are clean, dry and usable.
New England winters are long, wet and salty, and much of the housing here has older basements and detached garages built decades ago. Bare concrete in those spaces dusts, stains and absorbs every bit of salt that drips off the car. We grind and repair the old slab first, then install a fully bonded system that seals it and gives it a finish worth showing off.
Every Boston project starts with a free in-home estimate: we measure, check the slab, show you flake colors in your own light and give you a written quote. Most garages are finished in one day, and every floor is backed by our 15-year warranty. Call 888-899-9289 or use the form above to get started.

Concrete floors in Boston: what the local numbers say

When Boston-area homes were built
Half of the 170,482 homes in our Boston service area were built before 1953. That’s an older housing stock: 68.8% of homes here went up before 1980. Slabs that age usually have hairline cracks, pitting, old paint or sealer and some settling. We grind and repair all of it before any coating goes down, because a coating is only as good as the concrete under it.
13.5% of homes here are single-family detached houses, the kind that usually come with a driveway, a garage or both.
What winter does to a floor in Boston
Average monthly snowfall, Boston Logan International Airport
The Boston Logan International Airport, the closest long-record weather station to Boston, averages 49.2 inches of snow and 92 nights below freezing a year. On about 68 days a year the temperature here drops below freezing overnight and climbs back above it during the day. Each of those swings lets meltwater and road salt soak into bare concrete, freeze and expand. That’s what causes the flaking and pitting you see on uncoated garage floors around Boston. A polyurea basecoat seals the surface, so water and salt sit on top where you can squeegee them out the door.

Floor coating questions from Boston homeowners
Do you install concrete floor coatings in Boston?
Yes. Comer & Cross crews coat garages, basements, patios and driveways across the Boston area, including Boston, Revere, Chelsea, Saugus, Charlestown and Winthrop. We cover 18 ZIP codes around Boston, and every job starts with a free in-home estimate.
Will a floor coating hold up to Boston winters?
Yes, if it’s the right system. The Boston Logan International Airport weather station averages 49.2 inches of snow and about 68 freeze-thaw days a year. Rigid epoxy tends to crack and peel under that, which is why we use a flexible polyurea basecoat and a polyaspartic topcoat, bonded to diamond-ground concrete. Every floor comes with our 15-year warranty.
My Boston house is older. Can you still coat the garage floor?
Almost always. Half the homes in our Boston service area were built before 1953, so older slabs are most of what we see. Cracks, pitting, old paint and sealers are ground off and repaired as part of the install. If a section is too far gone to coat, your estimator will tell you at the free visit.

Reasonable price. Comer and Cross rep Sara delivered an exceptional job at my shop and back patio floor. The crew they sent was Riley and Dennis, who were most professional. These two guys are truly an A-team. Can't be happier.

Excellent job on our garage floor, thank you! I would definitely recommend Comer & Cross Concrete Coating to family members and friends.
Kristin Sandoval2 months ago
Comer and Cross did an excellent job on our basement floors and stairs. Nick, Grant, Alex and Kasey made themselves available for any questions, even after hours, and were quick to address any concerns. Bonus points for the clean-up job. We are very pleased with the product itself. It added grip to our stairs, shine to our floors, and has already held up to a minor basement flood with no issues. Would recommend!
