Concrete coatings in Madison, Wisconsin
Concrete floor coatings built for Madison
Between the lakes in Madison and out to Fitchburg, Stoughton and Mount Horeb, Dane County homeowners want work that lasts. Our polyurea system is a long-term fix for dusty, stained concrete, not a coat of paint you will be redoing in two years.
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.

Concrete floors in Madison: what the local numbers say
Real figures for the 33 ZIP codes we serve around Madison, and what they mean for a garage or basement floor.
- 225,004homes in our Madison service area

When Madison-area homes were built
Half of the 225,004 homes in our Madison service area were built before 1984. A lot of Madison is newer construction: 30.9% of homes were built in 2000 or later. Newer slabs look clean, but most have a smooth, power-troweled finish that a coating can’t grip on its own. We diamond-grind every slab first so the basecoat bonds into the concrete, not just onto it.
49% 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 Madison
Average monthly snowfall, Madison Dane County Regional Airport
The Madison Dane County Regional Airport, the closest long-record weather station to Madison, averages 51.8 inches of snow and 147 nights below freezing a year. On about 88 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 Madison. 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 Madison homeowners
Do you install concrete floor coatings in Madison?
Yes. Comer & Cross crews coat garages, basements, patios and driveways across the Madison area, including Madison, Verona, Middleton, Stoughton, Oregon and Mc Farland. We cover 33 ZIP codes around Madison, and every job starts with a free in-home estimate.
Will a floor coating hold up to Madison winters?
Yes, if it’s the right system. The Madison Dane County Regional Airport weather station averages 51.8 inches of snow and about 88 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 Madison house is older. Can you still coat the garage floor?
Almost always. Half the homes in our Madison service area were built before 1984, 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.
