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

Planning to upgrade your garage floor in Loveland? Whether you’re near Centerra, backing up to Boyd Lake, or tucked into a neighborhood off Taft, a little bit of prep makes for a smooth install—and a floor that lasts for years.

Here’s what you need to know before your NuWave garage coating project begins:

Step 1: Schedule Your Quote

Your first step is setting up a quote with us. We’ll walk through your garage, go over flake options, talk through your goals for the space, and give you a clear timeline.

Step 2: Let Us Know About Special Requests

Every garage is different. If you’d like to have stairs coated, prefer a seamless finish (by filling control joints), or have something unique in your setup—let us know during the quote. We’ll work it into your project plan.

Need storage while we work? Let us know during the quote if you’d like to rent our enclosed trailer. It’s secure, weatherproof, and helps us line up your project timeline with minimal disruption.

Step 3: Clear Out the Garage

Please remove all items from the garage before install day. That includes:

  • Vehicles, storage bins, shelving units, and tools

  • Wall-mounted hooks or shelves near the floor

  • Anything sitting directly on the concrete

Our enclosed trailer rental is available if you need a secure place to store everything while we work. It includes door locks, wheel locks, and full delivery.

Step 4: Understand the Two-Day Install Process

At NuWave, we don’t rush through one-day installs. Our two-day method allows for proper cure time and a stronger, more durable finish.

Day 1:

  • Surface preparation via mechanical diamond grinding

  • Crack and control joint repairs

  • Basecoat application + full flake broadcast

Day 2:

  • Excess flake removal and touch-ups

  • Polyaspartic topcoat application

  • Cure time begins

We’ll let you know exactly when your floor will be ready to walk or drive on.
