Concrete coatings in Detroit, Michigan
Concrete floor coatings built for Detroit
In the Motor City the garage is more than parking: it is a workshop, a hangout and a showroom for the car you care about. We coat everything from brick-bungalow basements in Dearborn to three-car garages in Novi and Sterling Heights across Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties.
Midwest winters are hard on concrete. Road salt and melting snow work into the pores of an uncoated slab, freeze, expand and slowly break the surface apart, and summer humidity brings musty basements and sweating floors. A fully sealed polyurea and polyaspartic system stops salt and moisture at the surface, so the floor wipes clean instead of spalling.
Every Detroit 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 888-815-0314 or use the form above to get started.

Concrete floors in Detroit: what the local numbers say
Real figures for the 129 ZIP codes we serve around Detroit, and what they mean for a garage or basement floor.

When Detroit-area homes were built
Half of the 1,408,251 homes in our Detroit service area were built before 1962. That’s an older housing stock: 74.2% 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.
68.6% 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 Detroit
Average monthly snowfall, Detroit Metro Airport
The Detroit Metro Airport, the closest long-record weather station to Detroit, averages 45 inches of snow and 120 nights below freezing a year. On about 78 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 Detroit. 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 Detroit homeowners
Do you install concrete floor coatings in Detroit?
Yes. Comer & Cross crews coat garages, basements, patios and driveways across the Detroit area, including Detroit, Warren, Sterling Heights, Dearborn, Rochester and Clinton Township. We cover 129 ZIP codes around Detroit, and every job starts with a free in-home estimate.
Will a floor coating hold up to Detroit winters?
Yes, if it’s the right system. The Detroit Metro Airport weather station averages 45 inches of snow and about 78 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 Detroit house is older. Can you still coat the garage floor?
Almost always. Half the homes in our Detroit service area were built before 1962, 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.

Excellent work from start to finish. They cleaned up everything before they left and went over the curing process also. Thanks Kasey and Rod for your excellent work. Job well done.

I had my new floor installed and chose a custom color pattern. It's even better than I could have imagined! The guys did such a good job on the installation. I'm half tempted to not put anything back in my garage. The picture doesn't even remotely do it justice. It just sparkles!
