Built like a bullet
Bare concrete doesn't survive a Northern Michigan winter.
Salt, snowmelt and freeze–thaw get into an unsealed slab and work it apart from the inside. We grind the concrete back to sound, open the pores, and lock it under a broadcast flake floor — grey, white and black chip suspended in clear resin.
Serving Alpena, Hubbard Lake, Ossineke, Harrisville, Rogers City and Gaylord, Michigan.
01 — One photograph, both sides
Cured flake on one side of that line.
Bare concrete on the other.
No pairing, no editing, no second job stitched in beside the first — this is a single frame of a finished floor meeting the slab next to it.
02 — Why not a kit from the hardware store
“Can't I just roll one on myself for a couple hundred dollars?”
A roll-on kit sits on top. This gets ground in.
The reason a hardware-store garage kit lifts by spring isn't the coating — it's the prep. Fresh concrete cures with a tight, closed surface from the trowel, and a roller and a jug of etching acid don't open it. The coating dries onto a skin, and the first winter of hot tyres and salt brine peels that skin off in sheets.
We run a diamond grinder with dust extraction over the whole slab first, until the surface is uniformly opened and the concrete underneath is sound. Cracks and pitting get dealt with while the floor is open. Only then does anything get poured. It is slow, dusty, unglamorous work, and it is the entire difference between a floor and a paint job.
03 — What we coat
Four kinds of slab, one system.
Attached and detached. The retrofit case — old concrete that has already taken a few winters of salt off the tyres.
02 Pole barn & shop floorsNew construction, coated before the walls close in. Large open spans, working floors that get equipment and lumber dragged across them.
03 Basement floorsCottage and year-round basements. A sealed floor that mops instead of holding dust in the concrete.
04 Flake finishesThe grey, white and black blend with pale blue through it — the system that actually goes down on these floors.

The top of the mitt, and the country underneath it.

Epoxy cures indoors, so this is year-round work — but a garage floor is far easier to hand over before the snow than after it. If your slab is going to spend another winter taking salt off the truck, now is the sensible time to have it looked at.
