Serving El Mirage and nearby communities.

El Mirage has plenty of pre-2010 housing stock, and a lot of those garage and patio slabs show their age through staining, patchy discoloration, or an uneven surface look. A solid-color coating alone won't hide that well. Flake does.

El Mirage Epoxy Pros broadcasts flake into a pigmented base coat to cover those flaws while adding texture and extra durability. It's a cosmetic fix and a functional one at the same time.

FAQs

Decorative Flake Flooring FAQs

Can flake be applied over an old oil-stained garage floor?

After degreasing and grinding. The flake blend actually helps mask residual discoloration that doesn't fully lift during cleaning.

How long does flake flooring last before it peels?

With proper prep and a sealed topcoat, flake floors typically hold up for years. Failures almost always come from skipped grinding, not the flake itself.

How much more does flake cost compared to solid-color epoxy?

Flake adds a broadcast and scrape step plus extra topcoat material, usually a few hundred to a couple thousand dollars more depending on square footage.

Does flake hide cracks or just stains?

It helps mask stains and surface imperfections. Active structural cracks still need repair before coating, flake or not.
