How to Prepare Your Garage for a Floor Coating Install in Longmont

If you’re planning to upgrade your garage floor in Longmont—whether you’re in Harvest Junction, near McIntosh Lake, or tucked into an older neighborhood—a little prep before installation day goes a long way in keeping your project stress-free and on track.

Here’s how to prepare for your NuWave garage floor coating:

Step 1: Schedule Your Quote

The first step is getting on our schedule for a quote. We’ll walk your space, help you explore flake and color options, and make sure you understand the full process from start to finish.

Step 2: Let Us Know About Special Requests

If you have stairs, want a seamless finish by filling control joints, or have built-in storage that can’t be moved, let us know during your quote. We’ll account for everything upfront so there are no surprises on install day.

Need help with storage? Let us know during your quote if you’d like to rent our enclosed trailer. It’s secure, delivered to your driveway, and helps us build your install timeline around your schedule.

Step 3: Clear Out the Garage

We’ll need the garage completely cleared out before the install begins. This includes:

  • Vehicles, bins, shelving units, and tools

  • Wall-mounted items close to the floor

  • Anything sitting directly on the concrete

If space is tight, our trailer rental provides a weatherproof, secure place for your belongings while we work.

Step 4: Understand the Two-Day Install Process

We don’t rush installs. Our two-day process allows time for each layer to properly cure—so your floor lasts longer and holds up to Colorado’s weather and wear.

Day 1:

  • Mechanical diamond grinding

  • Crack and control joint repair

  • Basecoat + full flake application

Day 2:

  • Excess flake removal

  • Touch-ups + polyaspartic topcoat

  • Cure time begins

We’ll let you know when your floor is safe to walk and drive on.
