Durable coatings for Tempe’s classic slabs.
Tempe has the oldest housing stock in the East Valley — original neighborhoods platted in the 1940s and 50s, decades before Gilbert, Chandler or Queen Creek broke ground. We coat garage floors here just as often as in the newer cities, just with more prep work first.
A slab that has settled and cracked for seventy-plus years needs an honest grind and real repair before any coating goes down, not a quick roll-on over the damage. That is the difference between a floor that lasts and one that peels in a year.
Tempe’s slabs are the oldest we work on in the East Valley — many poured in the 1940s and 50s, decades before the newer suburbs around them broke ground. That means more settling, more cracking, and often a stack of old repairs and prior coatings to grind through before a new floor can bond.
Tempe’s original neighborhoods were poured in the 1940s, 50s and 60s — decades longer than any newer East Valley suburb has had to move, crack and settle. A proper flake or metallic system starts with grinding through all of it and repairing honestly, not coating over what is already failing.
A seventy-year-old garage floor has usually seen a driveway sealer, a DIY epoxy kit, or both, at some point. Those old coatings have to come off completely — diamond grinding is the only way a new system actually bonds instead of peeling with whatever was underneath it.
Tempe has more rental housing and faster tenant turnover than most East Valley cities, thanks to ASU. A durable, easy-to-clean flake or solid color floor holds up to that turnover far better than bare concrete or a builder-grade coating ever does.
A lot of our Tempe work gets scheduled in the gap between a rental turning over — May through August is the heaviest turnover window near ASU, and the floor goes in clean before a new tenant or owner moves boxes into the garage.
Because so much of Tempe’s stock is decades old, we build extra time into the schedule for grinding and crack repair before coating day — a 1950s slab is rarely the same-day job a ten-year-old Queen Creek garage can be.
Tempe is the oldest housing stock in the East Valley — neighborhoods platted and built from the 1940s through the 1980s, decades before most of the surrounding suburbs existed. We cover the whole city — these are the communities we get asked about most.

Had Doug and his crew come out to my house after I had some paint spill out of the back of my truck down the street and in my driveway. He was able to take out all the paint on the concrete and asphalt, saving me from a huge headache. Great work and great people.
