Concrete coatings in Minneapolis, Minnesota
Local crews and one-day installs across Minneapolis
Minneapolis homes, from older city neighborhoods to Edina and Brooklyn Park, have garages that take months of ice melt and sand every year. We coat them with a floor built for Minnesota winters.
Minnesota winters drive frost deep and keep it there for months, and every trip into the garage brings ice melt, sand and salt brine with it. Rigid epoxy struggles in that kind of cold and tends to lift at the edges. Our polyurea basecoat stays flexible and moves with the slab, so it keeps its bond through long freeze-thaw seasons and humid summers alike.
Getting started in Minneapolis is simple: request a free in-home estimate, pick your colors, and we schedule a one-day install with our own trained crew. Every floor comes with our 15-year warranty in writing. Call 888-899-9289 or fill out the form above.

Concrete floors in Minneapolis: what the local numbers say

When Minneapolis-area homes were built
Half of the 342,412 homes in our Minneapolis service area were built before 1967. That’s an older housing stock: 64.4% 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.
44.7% 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 Minneapolis
Average monthly snowfall, Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport
The Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, the closest long-record weather station to Minneapolis, averages 51.2 inches of snow and 147 nights below freezing a year. On about 75 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 Minneapolis. 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 Minneapolis homeowners
Do you install concrete floor coatings in Minneapolis?
Yes. Comer & Cross crews coat garages, basements, patios and driveways across the Minneapolis area, including Minneapolis, Maple Grove and Hopkins. We cover 32 ZIP codes around Minneapolis, and every job starts with a free in-home estimate.
Will a floor coating hold up to Minneapolis winters?
Yes, if it’s the right system. The Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport weather station averages 51.2 inches of snow and about 75 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 Minneapolis house is older. Can you still coat the garage floor?
Almost always. Half the homes in our Minneapolis service area were built before 1967, 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!
