A Decade Defined the Floors

Epoxy flooring in Manchester mostly means 1970s concrete. ACS data on Point2Homes dates 40.8% of local homes to that decade, with another 21.6% in the 1980s and a median build year of 1977. Wikipedia records the population rising from 2,021 in 1960 to 6,351 in 1980. That means a large share of garages and basements here were poured within a few years of each other, and many are reaching the same stage of wear at once.

What 45 years of winters do

A 1970s garage slab has usually been through decades of snow, slush and de-icing salt. The patterns we see most:

Scaling or flaking of the top layer near the door.
Hairline cracks that spread out from corners and drains.
Oil and transmission fluid stains under each parking spot.
A sealer or paint applied years ago, now peeling.

None of these are reasons to give up on the slab. They are reasons to grind well and repair before coating.

Choosing a system

Most Manchester families use the garage every day. Our most frequent recommendation is full chip coverage sealed with polyaspartic, because it handles salt and hot tires and hides grit between cleanings. For a home gym or hobby area, a solid color may suit better.

Townhomes and shared garages

About 25% of occupied units are rented and only 72.6% of housing is single-family detached, so condos and townhomes are part of the picture. For association properties we provide written scopes and samples for board review.

Basements in split foyers

Many 1970s homes have lower levels partly below grade. Those slabs can carry moisture. We test before every basement floor coating and choose a primer to match the readings. If water is coming in, we will tell you so before any money is spent on coating.

Manchester Questions

The top of my Manchester garage floor is flaking. Can it be coated?

Yes, after grinding. Flaking, or scaling, is a weak surface layer. We grind it off down to sound concrete, fill low areas and then coat.

Can old peeling garage paint stay under the new floor?

No. Anything loose or painted has to be removed, or the new coating will fail along with it. Grinding takes care of that.

What is the most common system for a Manchester garage?

Full chip coverage sealed under polyaspartic. It suits daily parking and winter salt.

Do you coat townhome garages?

Yes. Before scheduling, your association can get a written scope and color samples from us.
