Garage floor epoxy peeling? Here's Who to Call
Epoxy garage floors that peel, bubble, or flake typically failed due to inadequate surface preparation — moisture in the slab, insufficient etching, or application over a sealed or contaminated surface. Hot-tire pickup is another common culprit. A professional coatings specialist can grind or shot-blast the concrete to a proper profile, apply a moisture-tolerant primer, and recoat with a polyurea or high-build epoxy system that bonds permanently and resists hot tires, chemicals, and abrasion.
