What to Expect During Your Epoxy Garage Floor Installation in Erie

Considering an epoxy garage floor upgrade in Erie? Whether you’re looking for a cleaner, more durable space or just want to elevate your garage’s look, NuWave Garages is here to make the process smooth and stress-free. Here’s what you can expect every step of the way:

1. Quote & Approval

We start with a quick, no-pressure quote—either in person or virtually using the photos and measurements you provide. No guessing games here—just clear, upfront pricing. When you’re ready to move forward, we’ll collect a deposit to lock in your job dates and project requirements, then get your install scheduled and materials prepped.

2. Prep: Clearing Out the Garage

Your garage will need to be empty before we arrive—but we’re here to help with that, too. We offer optional moving and storage services, including a secure enclosed trailer rental. It’s a convenient way to keep your belongings protected right on-site during the install.

3. Installation: 2-Day Process

Most residential epoxy garage floor installations in Erie are completed in just two days. Here’s what that looks like:

Day 1: Surface Prep & Basecoat

  • We mechanically grind the concrete to remove impurities, open the pores, and promote strong adhesion.

     

  • We take care of any cracks or surface damage.

     

  • A polyaspartic basecoat is applied, followed by your chosen decorative flake layer.

     

Day 2: Flake Scraping & Topcoat

  • Excess flake is removed, the surface is scraped to smoothe and reduce flake sharpness, and everything is vacuumed clean.

     

We finish with a UV-stable topcoat that’s chemical-resistant, non-yellowing, and built to last.

4. Post-Care Guidelines

After installation, we recommend:

  • 24 hours before walking on the surface

  • 48 hours before moving most items back in

  • 72 hours before full use, including vehicles or heavy storage

Maintaining your floor is easy: sweep, mop with a pH-neutral cleaner like Simple Green, or power-wash as needed to keep it looking fresh.
