Why Okanagan garages need a coating
Okanagan winters mean slush, road salt and de-icer dripping off your vehicle onto bare concrete. Salt soaks into the slab and slowly breaks down the surface, which shows up as flaking, pitting and white stains. A sealed coating keeps it on top where it wipes up, stops concrete dust, and makes the whole garage brighter and easier to keep clean.
The part that decides whether a coating lasts is prep. Diamond grinding opens the concrete so the coating bonds properly. Skipping it is the main reason DIY kits peel within a year or two.

Common questions
What does a garage floor coating cost in Kelowna?
A double garage typically lands somewhere around $2,400 to $7,200 depending on the system, the size and how much prep the concrete needs. Send a photo and the rough size for a real number.
Can you coat a cracked or stained floor?
Usually, yes. Cracks and pits are filled and the surface is diamond ground during prep. Stains are ground off or covered by the coating.
What happens after I send a photo?
We look at the floor, ask any questions, and get back to you with the options and a price. There is no obligation to go ahead.
When is the best time of year to coat a garage?
Coatings need the slab within a certain temperature range to cure properly, so spring through fall is busiest. Booking early gets you a better spot in the schedule.
