What's included in our Onalaska epoxy coatings package

We coordinate every step so you have one point of contact through the project.
Working with Onalaska and western Wisconsin homes
Wisconsin homes in our service area run from turn-of-the-century farmhouses with original red oak hardwood worth refinishing, to mid-century ranches that need full-floor updates, to brand-new construction in the Onalaska and La Crosse suburbs. Each one needs a different conversation.
Wisconsin winters and humid summers are hard on flooring. Subfloors expand and contract through the seasons, basements pull moisture in summer, and salt-and-slush traffic at every entrance demands a tough floor in mudrooms and entries. We design every install around these realities.

- ● Basements being converted to finished living, gym, or workshop space
- ● Commercial showrooms, warehouses, and light-industrial floors
- ● Any concrete slab you want to look intentional, not utilitarian

- ● DIY-only customers - the prep step needs commercial-grade grinders
Polyaspartic over epoxy, with decorative flake.
Our standard residential system runs an epoxy primer, an epoxy base coat with full broadcast vinyl flake, and a polyaspartic topcoat. Total dry film thickness lands around 24 mils.
Polyaspartic cures in 24 hours start to finish, which means a Friday install is a Saturday garage. Color flake blends are custom-mixed per project.
Grind, fill, coat, broadcast, top.
Every concrete coating starts with a 30-grit diamond grind to remove old sealers and expose fresh aggregate. Cracks and joints are V-cut and filled with flexible polyurea before any coating goes down.
Flake is broadcast to refusal during the base coat, then back-rolled into the polyaspartic topcoat for a perfectly bonded, slip-resistant finish.
What goes into a Onalaska epoxy coatings estimate.
Same factors apply to every quote, in every city we serve. We itemize each one so the Onalaska estimate you see is the Onalaska estimate you sign.
- 01
Concrete prep condition
Smooth, clean concrete grinds fast. Old paint, sealers, oil contamination, or heavy texture take longer. Cracks and joints get V-cut and filled with flexible polyurea before any coating goes down. We assess the slab on the in-home estimate and quote prep transparently.
- 02
System layers
Standard residential system: epoxy primer, epoxy base coat with full broadcast vinyl flake, polyaspartic topcoat. Premium systems add a second polyaspartic coat for extra UV stability and chemical resistance. Commercial systems use higher-build epoxy and harder topcoats.
- 03
Decorative options
Solid color (no flake) is the simplest. Standard flake broadcast is the most common. Custom color flake blends, metallic epoxy, and decorative chip systems each add cost. We mix flake to match your space and review samples before install.
- 04
Square footage
Per-square-foot cost goes down on larger projects because the prep equipment setup is the same whether the floor is 400 square feet or 4,000. Two-car garages are the most common project; three-car and larger garages get a per-square-foot discount.
- 05
Vapor barrier needs
Slabs with active moisture vapor need a vapor-mitigation primer before the coating system. We test the slab during the estimate and recommend the right system. Skipping this step on a wet slab leads to coating failure within a year.
Epoxy Coatings questions from Onalaska homeowners.
Real questions we field on Onalaska epoxy coatings estimates - answered straight.
How much does epoxy flooring cost in Onalaska, WI?
+
Epoxy Coatings pricing in Onalaska depends on square footage, material grade, removal of existing flooring, and any subfloor preparation needed. We walk every Onalaska project in person before quoting so the number you see is itemized, fixed, and accurate. Estimates are free.
How long does epoxy flooring installation take in Onalaska?
+
Single-room installs in Onalaska typically run one to two days. Whole-home installs run three to ten days depending on square footage and material. We give you a fixed start and finish date with the quote, and we hold the schedule.
Do you charge a travel fee to Onalaska, WI?
+
No. There is no travel charge for Onalaska or any other city in our service area. The drive is built into our standard pricing - same rate as a project in Onalaska.
How is professional epoxy different from a DIY garage floor kit?
+
DIY kits are a single-step rolled coating that bonds to whatever the slab surface looks like. Most fail in one to three years because the slab was not properly prepared. Professional concrete coating starts with a 30-grit diamond grind to expose fresh aggregate, applies multiple coating layers, and finishes with a polyaspartic topcoat that handles hot tires, oil, salt, and impact for 15-plus years.
How long does an epoxy garage floor take?
+
A two-car garage typically takes one to two days from grind to walk-on-it. Polyaspartic topcoat cures in 24 hours, which means a Friday install lets you park on it Saturday afternoon. Larger garages and commercial spaces run two to three days.
Will epoxy peel or flake off my concrete?
+
Not when installed correctly. The single biggest reason coatings fail is improper prep - either skipping the diamond grind, leaving moisture-contaminated concrete, or applying coating over old sealer. We address all three on every install. Our 15-year residential warranty covers bond failure if our system fails.
Can I get epoxy in my basement instead of my garage?
+
Yes. Basement concrete coating is one of our most popular projects - it converts utility space into finished living space, gym, or workshop. We test for moisture, install a vapor barrier primer if needed, and use a satin or low-sheen polyaspartic topcoat that reads more refined than a typical garage floor.
Do you charge extra to drive to my Wisconsin city?
+
No. There is no travel charge for any city we list as a service area in Wisconsin. Our showroom is in Onalaska, which puts most of our Wisconsin service area within an hour of our shop. Travel is built into our standard pricing.
Can you handle older Wisconsin farmhouse hardwood?
+
Yes. We have refinished countless original red oak floors in older farmhouses across the Coulee Region. We are comfortable matching stains to existing trim, weaving in replacement boards, and working in homes where every wall is slightly out of square.
12-month same-as-cash and 84-month fixed-rate plans available.
Most decisions return in minutes. We work with GreenSky and Synchrony so you can lock the project, then choose terms that fit your budget.

Epoxy and concrete coatings for a cold-climate garage
Our approach to epoxy coatings in Onalaska: measure properly, allow for the humidity swing this region is known for, and tell you honestly if the floor you want is wrong for the room you want it in.
Onalaska sits on a ridge above Lake Onalaska and the Black River, looking west across to the Minnesota bluffs. It grew as La Crosse spilled north, so the housing skews considerably newer than what you find in the city proper — suburban subdivisions rather than 19th-century stock — with the lakefront properties forming their own distinct pocket.
Newer construction usually means a flat, dry subfloor and a faster install, so these jobs move quickly. Two things are specific to Onalaska though: ridge-top properties catch real wind exposure, so entry areas take more weather than an in-town house does, and the lakefront homes deal with water tracked in all summer. Both are worth specifying separately from the rest of the floor rather than running one product wall to wall.
A garage floor here deals with road salt, snowmelt and freeze-thaw for half the year, and bare concrete absorbs all of it. A proper coating stops that and makes the floor washable.
The single most common floor failure we are called out to in this region traces back to one thing: the wood was never allowed to reach the house’s own moisture content before it went down.
Winter heating dries the air inside a home here far more than people expect. Wood shrinks, seams open, and by July most of it has closed again — knowing which movement is seasonal and which is damage is most of the diagnosis.
Temperature matters at application — we schedule around it rather than coating a cold slab and hoping.
A larger town with a full spread of housing, so we quote what the individual house needs rather than a district average.
We bring the full sample line to your home rather than asking you to judge colour under showroom lighting. In a region this spread out, that is not a nicety — it is the only practical way to choose.
Subfloor gets checked before anything is ordered. It is the cheapest step in the job and the one that decides whether the floor is still flat in five years.
What that means on your job
- Mechanically ground, not acid-etched
- Specified for road salt and snowmelt
- Application scheduled around slab temperature
- Freeze-thaw resistant system
Epoxy Coatings in Onalaska — common questions
What should I know about epoxy coatings in Onalaska, WI?
A larger town with a full spread of housing, so we quote what the individual house needs rather than a district average. Beyond that, the biggest factor here is climate rather than anything specific to Onalaska: indoor humidity swings from roughly 15-25% under winter heat to over 60% in summer, and that movement is what damages floors in this region. We plan the install around it rather than treating it as bad luck.
Will a garage coating survive road salt and snowmelt?
A properly prepared one will, and that is the operative word. Coatings fail here because the slab was acid-etched or coated cold, not because the product was wrong. We grind mechanically and schedule around slab temperature.
Can you coat in winter?
Sometimes, but the slab temperature has to be right and an unheated garage in January usually is not. We would rather schedule you for spring than apply a coating that will not bond properly.
Do you actually travel to Onalaska?
Yes. Onalaska, WI is inside our regular service area and we bring the full sample line to your home — there is no trip to a showroom and no travel surcharge. Free in-home estimate before you commit to anything.
