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

Planning a garage floor upgrade in Platteville? Whether you’re in town, on a nearby farm, or part of a newer neighborhood along Highway 66, a few quick steps ahead of install day will make the process smooth and efficient.

Here’s how to get your garage ready for your NuWave coating:

Step 1: Schedule Your Quote

Your first step is booking a quote. We’ll visit your garage, talk through coating and flake options, and explain the two-day process in detail so you know exactly what to expect.

Step 2: Discuss Any Special Requests

Let us know upfront if you:

  • Want stairs coated

  • Prefer a seamless finish with control joints filled

  • Have permanent fixtures or layout challenges

We’ll include everything in your quote and arrive fully prepared on install day.

Need temporary storage? Let us know during the quote if you’d like to rent our enclosed trailer. It’s secure, weatherproof, and helps us schedule around your needs.

Step 3: Clear Out the Garage

Before we arrive, please remove:

  • Vehicles, bins, tools, shelving, or equipment

  • Wall-mounted items near the floor

  • Any items touching or resting on the concrete

Our enclosed trailer rental makes this part easy. It’s delivered right to your driveway and includes locks to keep your belongings secure during the project.

Step 4: Know What to Expect with Our Two-Day Process

We don’t believe in quick-turnaround installs that compromise quality. Our two-day process gives each coat time to cure and ensures long-term durability.

Day 1:

  • Mechanical diamond grinding for surface prep

  • Crack and joint repair

  • Basecoat application + full flake coverage

Day 2:

  • Excess flake removal + touch-ups

  • Polyaspartic topcoat application

  • Cure time begins

We’ll give you exact timing on when you can walk and drive on the new floor.
