Concrete coatings in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Why Pittsburgh homeowners choose polyurea over epoxy
Pittsburgh’s hills mean tuck-under garages, steep driveways and plenty of basements, and the salt trucks are out all winter. We coat floors across Allegheny County, from city neighborhoods to Bethel Park, Baldwin, Coraopolis and Franklin Park.
Hills, hard winters and plenty of road salt mean garage floors here take more abuse than most, and many homes sit on older slabs already cracked and pitted from decades of freeze-thaw. We repair every crack before coating and use a flexible polyurea basecoat that moves with the concrete instead of cracking with it.

Concrete floors in Pittsburgh: what the local numbers say
Real figures for the 151 ZIP codes we serve around Pittsburgh, and what they mean for a garage or basement floor.

When Pittsburgh-area homes were built
Half of the 690,069 homes in our Pittsburgh service area were built before 1957. That’s an older housing stock: 77.6% 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.
63.1% 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 Pittsburgh
Average monthly snowfall, Pittsburgh International Airport
The Pittsburgh International Airport, the closest long-record weather station to Pittsburgh, averages 44.1 inches of snow and 114 nights below freezing a year. On about 82 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 Pittsburgh. 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 Pittsburgh homeowners
Do you install concrete floor coatings in Pittsburgh?
Yes. Comer & Cross crews coat garages, basements, patios and driveways across the Pittsburgh area, including Pittsburgh, Washington, Canonsburg, Coraopolis, Mckeesport and New Kensington. We cover 151 ZIP codes around Pittsburgh, and every job starts with a free in-home estimate.
Will a floor coating hold up to Pittsburgh winters?
Yes, if it’s the right system. The Pittsburgh International Airport weather station averages 44.1 inches of snow and about 82 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 Pittsburgh house is older. Can you still coat the garage floor?
Almost always. Half the homes in our Pittsburgh service area were built before 1957, 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.

We had 2 projects done: our basement and our garage. Looking back on my before pictures, our garage was pretty bad. We had rust-pitted concrete from the salt and weather. Now they look amazing.

If you are on the fence about getting your patio flooring poly coated, you should contact Comer and Cross!!! Not only is the finished work beyond beautiful, the customer service is just amazing!!! We were supposed to get it done a few weeks ago but Mother Nature had other plans. The communication that Moe (crew leader) had with me was so professional and beyond accommodating. He was even going to come on his day off (Sunday) two weeks in a row to get it done. Moe and Damian came today and I knew it was gonna look good, but I am blown away how amazing it looks!!! The two of them worked in the 95-degree heat and were so efficient and super friendly!!! I'm so excited to begin using our patio. If we do our garage floor I would only go with them.
Ben Mayo7 weeks ago
Very professional and knowledgeable from start to finish. Used them to coat our garage, which they did a great job on. They may be a little more than some other companies, but they certainly do a great job and great attention to detail. We got quotes from other companies that were higher and they did not seem to be as knowledgeable or do as good a job as Comer. Would recommend again for any service they provide.
