Coating a new-construction garage
- Wait for cure. Many coating manufacturers specify about 28 days of curing before coating new concrete. If you're moving into a new build, plan the coating for after that window.
- Builder treatments. New slabs are often sprayed with a curing compound or sealer. It must be ground off, or the coating won't bond.
- Shrinkage cracks. Hairline cracks in the first year are common as concrete shrinks. Ask how the installer treats them and whether control joints will be honored.
- Builder warranty. Check whether your builder's warranty covers the slab, and whether a coating affects it, before you schedule.
Why coat early
A new floor hasn't yet absorbed salt and oil. Coating before the first Michigan winter, after the cure period, means less cleaning and less stain treatment, which can lower the prep cost.
Questions to ask Byron Center installers
- How long after the pour do you need before coating, and will you check the slab's moisture?
- How do you handle hairline shrinkage cracks in a new slab?
- Does your warranty cover peeling from hot-tire pickup?
