Garages Built to Handle Real Use

Garage epoxy flooring installed throughout Hermon for vehicles, tools, and the conditions Maine winters bring.

Your garage in Hermon takes a beating—tire tracks from salted roads, oil drips, dropped tools, and temperature swings that crack untreated concrete over time. Garage epoxy flooring creates a seamless surface that cleans up fast, reflects light better than bare concrete, and holds up to the kind of use that comes with parking vehicles and working on projects. Midnight Epoxy installs coatings across Hermon that stay intact through freeze-thaw cycles, road chemicals, and the daily wear that comes with an active garage.

The installation process begins with grinding the concrete to remove old sealers, oil stains, and any surface contamination that would prevent proper adhesion. Cracks are filled, and the surface is leveled before the epoxy coating is applied in multiple layers. The result is a durable, non-porous finish that resists stains and makes it easy to sweep up dirt, sand, and fluid spills without scrubbing or using harsh cleaners.

How Garage Epoxy Flooring Gets Installed

Midnight Epoxy starts every garage project in Hermon by clearing the space and inspecting the concrete for cracks, moisture, or previous coatings that need removal. Surface preparation includes mechanical grinding or shot blasting to open the pores of the concrete and create a profile that allows the epoxy to bond tightly. Any structural cracks are filled with flexible filler, and oil stains are treated to prevent contamination of the coating.

Once the floor is installed, you will notice the difference immediately—the surface is smooth, uniform, and reflects overhead lighting in a way that makes the garage feel brighter and more functional. Spills from antifreeze, oil, or melted snow bead up instead of soaking in, and cleanup takes minutes instead of hours. The coating also resists the abrasion caused by tires, foot traffic, and dragging equipment across the floor.

Curing time is typically 24 to 72 hours depending on temperature and humidity, and the floor is ready for vehicle traffic shortly after. Garage epoxy works well in attached and detached garages, and it holds up to the kind of heavy use that comes with storing tools, working on vehicles, or running a small workshop. The coating does not require waxing, sealing, or refinishing the way concrete paints or tiles do, which saves time and money over the life of the floor.

What You Should Know Before Scheduling

Homeowners in Hermon often ask the same practical questions when planning a garage floor upgrade, especially if they have dealt with stained or cracked concrete in the past. These answers help clarify what the process involves and what results to expect once the work is finished.

What makes epoxy better than concrete sealer or paint?
Epoxy forms a thick, chemical-resistant layer that bonds to the concrete and resists impacts, stains, and moisture. Sealers and paints sit on top and wear away quickly under tires, tools, and road salt exposure.
How long does garage epoxy flooring last?
With normal garage use, epoxy floors last 15 to 25 years without needing recoating. The surface stays intact even with daily vehicle traffic, storage, and seasonal temperature changes common in Hermon.
Can epoxy be installed in an unheated garage?
Yes, but installation needs to happen when temperatures are above 50 degrees Fahrenheit for proper curing. Midnight Epoxy schedules garage projects during appropriate weather windows to ensure the coating bonds correctly and performs as expected.
What happens to existing cracks in the concrete?
Small cracks are filled and sealed before the epoxy goes down, which prevents them from spreading or showing through the coating. Large structural cracks may need additional repair to ensure the floor stays stable over time.
How soon can vehicles be parked after installation?
Light foot traffic is safe within 24 hours, and full vehicle traffic is typically allowed after 72 hours. Midnight Epoxy provides specific instructions based on the coating system and conditions in your Hermon garage.

Garage epoxy flooring gives you a surface that handles everything from daily parking to weekend projects without breaking down or looking worn.
