Full-Flake Epoxy Garage Floor with Oil-Stop Primer in Mahtomedi, MN

2026-08-12 · Mahtomedi, Washington County, MN · Full-Flake Epoxy Garage Floor with Oil-Stop Primer

Problem

This concrete garage floor in Mahtomedi, Minnesota needed surface repairs and proper preparation before a new full-flake floor coating system could be installed. The existing concrete had several damaged areas, including holes and concrete spalling that needed to be repaired before coating. The floor also had areas of oil contamination. Because oil that has penetrated into concrete can interfere with the adhesion of a new coating system, these areas required additional preparation and an oil-stop primer before applying the new floor coating.

Solution

Permanent Coating Solutions prepared and installed a professional full-flake floor coating system at this Mahtomedi, MN property. We began by repairing holes, spalled concrete, and other damaged areas of the garage floor. The concrete was then mechanically prepared using shot blasting to create the proper surface profile for strong coating adhesion. Because oil contamination was present in portions of the concrete, an oil-stop primer was applied to help address the contaminated areas before installation of the coating system. After the concrete repairs and surface preparation were completed, we installed a Sherwin-Williams full-flake floor coating system, creating a durable, seamless finished surface designed for the demands of a residential garage. Proper concrete preparation is one of the most important parts of a long-lasting garage floor coating. Repairing damaged concrete, mechanically profiling the surface, and addressing oil contamination before applying the coating helps prevent premature adhesion failures and provides the coating system with the best possible substrate. This full-flake garage floor coating project was completed in Mahtomedi, Minnesota 55115, Washington County.
