Plano Garage Floor Coating Project

Ace Garage Pros updated this 400 sq ft garage for homeowners preparing to move into an older Plano home. The stained and discolored concrete was mechanically prepared and finished with a Light Grey base coat, full-broadcast Domino decorative flake, and a protective clear topcoat. The project was completed in two days.

Customer Goal

The homeowners were preparing to move into an older home and wanted to update the appearance of the garage. Their goal was to replace the worn-looking bare concrete with a clean, finished floor that would make the garage feel newer and more complete.

Outcome

The worn concrete floor was transformed into a clean, coordinated full-flake surface using a Light Grey base coat and Domino decorative flake. The new floor updated the appearance of the approximately 400 sq ft garage and helped the older space feel more finished as the homeowners prepared to move into the property. The project was completed in two days.

Starting Condition

The garage had an older bare concrete floor with extensive staining, discoloration, scuffing, and visible signs of years of use. Although the garage already had painted walls and built-in storage, the unfinished concrete made the space look worn and dated.

Preparation

  1. Cleared and inspected the approximately 400 sq ft garage floor.
  2. Mechanically diamond-ground the concrete to remove surface contaminants and create the proper profile for coating adhesion.
  3. Detailed the concrete along the walls, corners, perimeter, and garage-door opening.
  4. Prepared the visibly stained and discolored areas as part of the mechanical surface-preparation process.
  5. Vacuumed the floor thoroughly to remove grinding dust and loose debris.
  6. Protected the existing walls, cabinets, shelving, doors, and other fixed garage features during the installation.

Installation

  1. Applied a Light Grey base coat over the prepared concrete.
  2. Broadcast Domino decorative vinyl flake throughout the wet coating to create a consistent full-flake finish.
  3. Applied the coating carefully around the garage perimeter and existing fixed features.
  4. Removed loose excess flake and refined the surface for the clear coat.
  5. Sealed the decorative floor with a protective clear topcoat.
  6. Detailed the garage-door threshold to create a clean transition between the coated floor and exterior concrete.
  7. Completed a final inspection of the floor, edges, and finished surface.

Challenges

  • Updated a heavily stained and visibly aged concrete floor in an older garage.
  • Created a consistent finished appearance across concrete with significant discoloration and surface variation.
  • Worked around existing cabinets, shelving, pegboard, doors, and other permanent garage features.
  • Maintained clean coating lines along the walls, perimeter, and garage-door opening.
  • Used the dense Domino flake pattern to visually unify the floor and replace the inconsistent appearance of the original concrete.

Maintenance Guidance

  • Sweep or blow loose dirt, sand, and debris from the floor regularly.
  • Mop the surface with water and a mild, nonabrasive cleaner when deeper cleaning is needed.
  • Wipe up automotive fluids, chemicals, and other spills promptly.
  • Avoid dragging sharp tools, metal equipment, cabinets, or heavy objects across the coating.
  • Use protective pads or a dolly when moving heavy storage equipment or appliances.
  • Avoid harsh solvents and abrasive cleaning products that could dull the clear finish.
  • Contact Ace Garage Pros if peeling, bubbling, unusual discoloration, or another coating concern appears.

Owner Takeaway

Completing a garage floor before or during a move is often easier than waiting until the garage is filled with vehicles, storage bins, and equipment. In this project, replacing the stained concrete with a Domino full-flake finish gave the homeowners a cleaner starting point and immediately helped update the appearance of the older home.
