Concrete coatings in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Philadelphia garages, basements and patios, finished in one day
Philadelphia rowhomes and twins often have basements that have been damp and dusty for a century, and garages in the Northeast and the Far Northeast see plenty of salt. We coat basements, garages and back patios across the city, working carefully in tight spaces and on older concrete.
The Mid-Atlantic gives concrete a little of everything: nor’easters, brined roads, freeze-thaw winters and hot, sticky summers. Older basements in the area are prone to dampness and white efflorescence, and garages take a beating every winter. Our polyurea basecoat and UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat are built for exactly that mix.
Getting started in Philadelphia 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 888-815-0314 or fill out the form above.

When Philadelphia-area homes were built
Half of the 863,697 homes in our Philadelphia service area were built before 1952. That’s an older housing stock: 83% 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.
15.4% 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 Philadelphia
Average monthly snowfall, Philadelphia International Airport
The Philadelphia International Airport, the closest long-record weather station to Philadelphia, averages 23.1 inches of snow and 77 nights below freezing a year. On about 64 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 Philadelphia. 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 Philadelphia homeowners
Do you install concrete floor coatings in Philadelphia?
Yes. Comer & Cross crews coat garages, basements, patios and driveways across the Philadelphia area, including Philadelphia, Bensalem, Upper Darby, Glenside, Huntingdon Valley and Bristol. We cover 66 ZIP codes around Philadelphia, and every job starts with a free in-home estimate.
Will a floor coating hold up to Philadelphia winters?
Yes, if it’s the right system. The Philadelphia International Airport weather station averages 23.1 inches of snow and about 64 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 Philadelphia house is older. Can you still coat the garage floor?
Almost always. Half the homes in our Philadelphia service area were built before 1952, 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.

My garage floor was heavily damaged and stained. Comer & Cross did a great job. I was extremely happy with the final product. Of course I drifted by every half hour or so to see what was going on. The employees were happy to answer all my questions and explain what they were doing. From pitted to perfect in 1 day. They truly did. 10 out of 10.

Just had our garage done and I absolutely love their work! The workers were professional and thorough, and the price was fair with top quality. After searching many other companies, this proved to be the best decision. Will definitely be recommending them to family and friends!

Reasonable price. Jake Rieger and Ben Clark did a wonderful job on our garage, driveway, porch and sidewalk, about 1,500 sq. ft., all in two days. They worked over 12 hours yesterday. We couldn't be happier with the end results. I highly recommend this company and especially these two guys.
