Real Results from Real Orlando Projects

There’s no better way to understand what a professional epoxy or polyurea floor coating can do than to see actual before and after results from local projects. Below are transformations from A1 Epoxy Coatings jobs across the greater Orlando area — residential garages, commercial spaces, and everything in between.

Residential Garage Floors

Two-Car Garage — Dr. Phillips

Before: Bare concrete with oil stains, surface pitting from years of use, and paint flaking from a failed big-box store epoxy kit applied by the previous homeowner.

After: Full diamond grind to remove the failed coating, oil stain treatment, polyurea base coat with a custom gray and silver flake blend, and a UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat. The floor went from an eyesore to the best-looking part of the garage — same day.

Three-Car Garage — Lake Nona

Before: New construction concrete, never coated, with typical construction dust and surface laitance.

After: Diamond grinding to open the surface profile, full-broadcast charcoal flake system with a semi-gloss polyaspartic topcoat. Completed in one day; homeowner had vehicles back on the floor by the following morning.

Single-Car Garage — College Park

Before: Cracked, stained concrete with a hairline crack running the length of the floor and heavy tire marks from years of parking.

After: Crack repair and surface prep, earth-tone tan flake system, satin topcoat. The crack is still visible at close inspection (we don’t hide structural movement cracks — they’ll re-appear through any coating) but the floor is sealed, protected, and looks dramatically better.

Commercial Projects

Auto Detailing Shop — Sanford

Before: Deteriorating gray paint, oil contamination throughout, slip hazard during wet detailing operations.

After: Mechanical grinding to remove contaminated paint, oil treatment, commercial-grade 100% solids epoxy base coat with anti-slip aggregate added to topcoat. The floor is now chemical-resistant, easy to clean, and safe for a wet work environment.

Warehouse — Kissimmee

Before: 8,000 sq ft of bare concrete with forklift traffic wear patterns, joint deterioration, and dust constantly migrating into finished goods storage.

After: Full surface prep, joint filling, moisture vapor barrier primer, and a high-build epoxy system. Dust is eliminated, the floor cleans in minutes, and the reflective surface improved the warehouse’s lighting efficiency noticeably.

What Makes the Difference in Before and After Results

Every dramatic transformation you see in these galleries comes down to two things: proper surface preparation and the right coating system for the application. Skipping the prep — or choosing the wrong product — is why so many garage floor coatings fail within a year or two in Florida’s climate.

We grind every floor. We test for moisture. We recommend systems based on your specific concrete condition, use case, and budget — not based on what’s easiest for us to install.
