How to Prepare Your Garage for a Floor Coating Installation in Louisville

If you’re planning a garage floor coating in Louisville—whether you’re in Steel Ranch, North End, or a quiet neighborhood near Harper Lake—just a few simple steps before installation day can help ensure a smooth, successful project.

Here’s what to do to get your garage ready for a NuWave install:

Step 1: Schedule Your Quote

The first step is setting up a quote with our team. We’ll walk your space, review color and flake options, and walk you through what to expect during our two-day install.

Step 2: Let Us Know About Special Requests

Have stairs you’d like coated? Prefer a seamless finish with control joints filled? Let us know during your quote so we can build it all into your project plan from the start.

Need storage during the project? Let us know during your quote if you’d like to rent our enclosed trailer. It’s secure, delivered right to your driveway, and helps us keep your project timeline efficient and stress-free.

Step 3: Clear Out the Garage

Before installation day, make sure your garage is cleared of:

  • Vehicles, tools, shelving, and bins

  • Wall-mounted items close to the floor

  • Anything resting directly on or attached to the concrete

Our enclosed trailer rental includes door and wheel locks, and is the perfect option if you’re short on storage or just want to keep your belongings secure during the project.

Step 4: Understand the Two-Day Process

We don’t cut corners with rushed, one-day installs. Our two-day system allows for proper cure time and leads to better long-term performance.

Day 1:

  • Mechanical diamond grinding

  • Crack and control joint repair

  • Basecoat + full flake broadcast

Day 2:

  • Excess flake removal + touch-ups

  • Polyaspartic topcoat application

  • Cure time begins

We’ll provide full instructions on post-install care, including when it’s safe to walk or drive on your new floor.
