“Lake Effect completely transformed our garage. The metallic floor looks like something out of a showroom. Their crew was professional, on time, and the finish is absolutely flawless. We've had neighbors stopping by just to see it.”
“We hired Lake Effect for our retail store and the quartz floor they installed is beautiful and incredibly durable. Six months of heavy foot traffic and it still looks brand new. Best flooring investment we've made.”
“Had them do a full flake system on our basement and it turned out incredible. The prep work they did was thorough and the final result is better than I imagined. These guys know what they're doing, highly recommend.”
Most residential projects (garages, basements) take 2-3 days from surface prep to final cure. Commercial projects vary based on square footage but we work around your schedule to minimize downtime. Your floor will be ready for light foot traffic within 24 hours of the final coat.
When professionally installed with proper surface preparation, our resinous floor coatings last 15-20+ years in residential settings and 10-15 years in high-traffic commercial environments. We use Elite Crete Systems products, commercial-grade materials that far outlast big-box store DIY kits.
Epoxy is one type of resinous coating, but the term is often used loosely. We install polyaspartic, polyurea, and urethane systems that outperform traditional epoxy in UV resistance, cure time, and durability. During your consultation, we'll recommend the right system for your space, traffic, and aesthetic goals.
We coat both new and existing concrete. Our diamond grinding and shot blasting equipment profiles even old, stained, or previously coated concrete for proper adhesion. If there are cracks or damage, we repair those first so your new floor looks flawless.
Absolutely. We offer hundreds of color combinations through our Elite Crete and Torginol product lines, flake blends, metallic reflectors, quartz aggregates, mica, glitter, and wood-grain overlays. We'll bring samples to your consultation so you can see and feel them.
