Our System
Why Cincinnati Floors Get GatorGuard's 4-Layer System
GatorGuard's system is engineered to address every common point of failure in concrete coatings, resulting in a permanent solution backed by a lifetime warranty. It's an investment in your home's value and functionality, not just a temporary floor covering.
We don't sell a simple epoxy floor. We install a hybrid epoxy polyaspartic system designed for the demanding climate of the Midwest.
Cincinnati concrete gets it from both sides of Ohio's weather: humid summers push moisture up through basement slabs, and winter brings freeze-thaw cycles and road salt. The four layers below are how our Cincinnati crews handle both.
-
Moisture Mitigating Epoxy (MME)
This is our secret weapon. After diamond grinding, we apply this specialized epoxy that penetrates deep into the concrete and creates a permanent barrier against moisture vapor transmission, the #1 cause of coating failures.
In Cincinnati: this is the layer that stops the moisture humid Ohio summers push up through a basement slab.
-
Base Color Coat
We apply a thick, pigmented epoxy layer that forms the core strength and color foundation of your floor.
-
Decorative Flake Layer
We broadcast decorative vinyl flakes to the point of rejection, meaning the entire surface is covered. This creates the beautiful, granite-like appearance and adds texture and impact resistance.
-
Polyaspartic Clear Coat
To seal it all in, we apply our 100% UV-stable, scratch- and chemical-resistant polyaspartic topcoat. This provides a durable, easy-to-clean finish that will never yellow or stain.
In Cincinnati: the chemical-resistant topcoat is what stands up to the road salt that rides into the garage all winter.
Our Process
Fast Installation: Most Cincinnati Floors Finished in Two Days
Every GatorGuard floor in Cincinnati is installed by our own highly-trained, in-house installers. We do not subcontract the work out, so the people who quote your job are the people who do it and the people who warranty it. Our Cincinnati crews work throughout Hamilton County and the surrounding Ohio communities.
-
Before: Free in-home estimate
We measure the floor, inspect the concrete for cracks and moisture, and show you the flake and color samples. You get a written, no-obligation quote on the spot. No charge and no pressure.
On a Cincinnati slab that includes looking for road salt residue and the cracking Ohio's freeze-thaw cycles leave behind.
-
Day 1: Grind, repair, prime and color
Our crew moves your belongings out, diamond grinds the slab down to clean concrete, repairs cracks and pitting, then applies the moisture-mitigating epoxy and the pigmented base coat with decorative flake broadcast to rejection.
-
Day 2: Buff, seal and final walkthrough
We buff the excess flake back to a smooth surface and apply the UV-stable polyaspartic clear coat. Then we walk the finished floor with you before we leave.
-
After: Walk on it in 24 hours, park on it in 72
Polyaspartic cures much faster than epoxy. You can walk on the floor 24 hours after the final coat, we come back at 48 hours to move your belongings in, and you can park on it at 72. The floor is covered by our lifetime warranty from day one.

Low-VOC and low-odor materials
Our materials are low-VOC and low-odor (where applicable), posing no more harm than the smell of a new car or new carpet, which minimizes any lingering chemical smell much faster during the curing process.
