Thinking about upgrading to an epoxy garage floor in Fort Collins? You’re in for a serious transformation—and it’s a lot simpler than you might think. At NuWave Garages, we walk you through every step so there are no surprises, just great results. Here’s exactly what to expect from start to finish:
1. Quote & Approval
We kick things off with a fast, friendly quote—no guessing games. Whether you prefer an in-person visit or want to send us photos and measurements virtually, we can give you an accurate quote right off the bat. Once you’re ready to move forward, we’ll collect a deposit to lock in your job dates and requirements, confirm the details, schedule your install, and get everything lined up.
2. Prep: Clearing Out the Garage
Before we arrive, you’ll need to empty the garage. But don’t worry—we’ve got your back! We offer optional moving and storage services, including a secure enclosed trailer rental that can be parked right outside your home. That means no need to haul your stuff across town or stress about the weather.
3. Installation: What Happens Over 2 Days
Most residential epoxy garage floor installations in Fort Collins take just two days. Here’s the breakdown:
Day 1: Surface Prep & Base Layer
- We mechanically grind the concrete to smoothe and remove surface impurities, open the pores, and ensure the best possible bond.
- Any cracks or damages are repaired.
- We apply a durable polyaspartic basecoat and broadcast your decorative flake selection across the entire surface.
Day 2: Flake Scraping & Topcoat
- We remove excess flake, give it a good scrape to reduce the sharpness, and vacuum up debris.
Then we apply a UV-stable, non-yellowing topcoat that seals everything in for a seamless, long-lasting finish.
4. Post-Care: After the Install
We recommend waiting:
- 24 hours before walking on the coating
- 48 hours before moving most items back in
- 72 hours before full use (like driving or heavy storage)
Ongoing maintenance is easy: just sweep and mop with a pH neutral cleaner like Simple Green, or a light power-wash as needed.
