Flake Epoxy Flooring in Denver, CO
Full-broadcast vinyl flake with a polyaspartic topcoat — the workhorse system for garages and shops.
What we do.
Every coating starts with the concrete under it. The slab is assessed, prepared and tested before a system is recommended.
- Full-broadcast flake for a uniform, textured surface
- Polyaspartic topcoat for UV stability and fast return to service
- Color blends from light sand to charcoal
- Slip resistance without a separate grit additive
- Repairable in sections if a slab moves later
One to two days for a two-car garage. Polyaspartic lets a crew coat in the morning and return the floor the next day, which matters when the garage is the only parking.
How it works.
1. Test and grind. Moisture test, then diamond grind to CSP 3-4.
2. Prime and base coat. Epoxy primer, then a pigmented base coat while the primer is still tacky.
3. Broadcast the flake. Flake is thrown to refusal so the surface is fully covered, then the excess is swept and vacuumed.
4. Scrape and topcoat. The broadcast is scraped flat and sealed with polyaspartic.
What changes the schedule. Slab condition, square footage, moisture readings and temperature. Denver work below about 50 F needs the space heated rather than the schedule rushed.

Common questions.
How much does epoxy flooring cost in Denver?
Published Denver ranges run $4 to $6 per square foot for a single-color system with a clear coat, $6 to $9 for full-broadcast flake with a polyaspartic topcoat, and $7 to $12 for metallic. A two-car garage typically lands between $1,800 and $5,500 installed.
Do I need a permit?
A coating over an existing slab is a finish, not permitted work. Structural, drainage, electrical or egress work is permitted. In Denver that means Denver Community Planning & Development; in the suburbs each city runs its own building department.
Why does my slab need moisture testing?
Denver-series soils are fine, smectitic clays that drain slowly. Water vapour moving up through the slab collects under a coating and blisters it. The thresholds are below 5 lb per 1,000 sq ft per 24 hours (ASTM F1869) or below 75% RH (ASTM F2170).
What if the moisture reading is too high?
The system changes, not just the schedule. A vapour-barrier system, or a polishing scope with no film at all, is the honest answer over a wet slab.
How cold is too cold to install?
Standard epoxy wants a slab above roughly 50 F. Denver winter work needs the space heated rather than rushed. Polyaspartic tolerates cooler starts but still wants a warm slab.
