Upgrading Garage Floor Coating in Troy with Polyurea-Polyaspartic Coatings
On this page, we document 8 garage floor coating projects in Troy, MI. Our dual-coating systems have converted worn concrete slabs into durable, attractive garage floors. Troy is an Oakland County city with a wide range of residential properties — from newer subdivisions with freshly poured concrete to established neighborhoods where homes and garages have accumulated decades of Michigan weather and daily use.
Many of the properties where we apply our polyurea-polyaspartic floor coating systems had accumulated the wear and tear of the harsh Michigan climate. As you will see in these case studies, our garage floor coating specialists work with concrete slabs in a wide variety of conditions: some needed only standard surface preparation. Others required significant remediation — DIY coating removal, oil extraction, crack and pitting repair, and moisture barrier application — before the polyurea and polyaspartic coats could go down. We describe the process and results, and include the before-and-after photos for each job.
Troy Garage Floor Coating Case Studies
These 8 case studies carefully document the condition of the concrete slab, the challenges we encountered, and the steps our crew took to prepare and restore the concrete slab before applying the dual-layer system. Each project reflects a variety of conditions to be addressed, and shows the consistent quality standards MotorCity Floors and Coatings applies to every installation.
Quality Garage Floor Coatings
Winter road salt, freeze-thaw cycles, automotive fluids, and daily vehicle traffic degrade unprotected garage concrete over time. The damage typically appears as oil staining, cracking, surface pitting, and adhesion failure in previously coated floors.
Several of our jobs of garage floor coating in Troy involved concrete beneath failed DIY epoxy or deteriorating painted coatings — a condition that recoating over the old surface cannot fix. Polyurea-polyaspartic systems provide reliable protection against these conditions and deliver an appearance that bare concrete or epoxy products cannot match.
NEW Garage Floor Coating
on Lyster Lane
Lyster Lane, Troy, MI
The 334-square-foot garage at this Lyster Lane property had a history of DIY repair. A self-applied epoxy coating had since failed. Residue from the old epoxy remained across the surface alongside oil stains and general surface staining.
Two cracks crossed the slab. The vehicle parking zone showed heavier pitting than the surrounding field.
A raised platform runs along the back wall. The coating scope included both the face and the surface of the platform. No steps were in scope.
Epoxy Removal and Surface Preparation
Coating over a failed surface bonds to the old material, not to the concrete. The old epoxy had to come off before anything new could go down. Our crew diamond-ground the full 334 square feet to open the concrete and remove the residue.
The grinding also cleared the oil stains and surface contamination throughout. Our team vacuumed thoroughly after each pass.
NEW Garage Floor Coating
on Audley Court
Audley Court, Troy, MI
The Audley Court garage was 573 square feet of new concrete. The slab showed no staining, no cracking, and no structural damage. Fallen leaves and light dirt had accumulated while the garage sat open.
Two concrete steps lead to the interior door. Both steps were included in the scope.
Debris Clearing and Surface Preparation
NEW Garage Floor Coating
on Vanderpool Avenue
Vanderpool Avenue, Troy, MI
The Vanderpool Avenue garage was 414 square feet mid-renovation. An exposed concrete block wall ran along one side. The slab showed years of accumulated surface wear — staining, oil spots, and scratch marks throughout.
Patches of a painted coating had lost adhesion and were flaking off across multiple sections. The old coating had to come off completely before the slab could be assessed. No steps and no vertical surfaces were in scope.
Coating Removal and First Grind
Our crew diamond-ground the full 414 square feet to remove the failing painted coating. The old material came off pass by pass. With the coating gone, the full condition of the concrete became visible. Surface damage and pitting spread broadly across the floor rather than in isolated zones.
NEW Garage Floor Coating
on Lexington Drive
Lexington Drive, Troy, MI
The 595-square-foot slab at this Lexington Drive garage showed years of accumulated damage. Pitting spread across the floor in clusters throughout the field. Cracks ran across the concrete in multiple directions. Oil stains and surface staining covered broad areas.
One concrete step leads to the interior door. The step was included in the scope.
Grinding
NEW Garage Floor Coating
on Orchard Trail Drive
Orchard Trail Drive, Troy, MI
The Orchard Trail Drive garage was 530 square feet covered in a failing painted coating. The paint had lost adhesion across most of the surface — flaking and peeling throughout. One concrete step leads to the interior door and was included in the scope.
Paint Removal and First Grind
NEW Garage Floor Coating
on Longfellow Drive
Longfellow Drive, Troy, MI
The Longfellow Drive garage was 400 square feet of new concrete. The slab showed no staining, no cracking, and no structural damage. A raised platform runs along the back wall.
The coating scope included both the face and the surface of the platform. No steps were in scope.
Grinding New Concrete
New concrete carries a laitance layer from the curing process that blocks coating adhesion. Our crew diamond-ground the full 400 square feet to remove the laitance throughout. Our team vacuumed thoroughly when the grind was complete.
NEW Garage Floor Coating
on Trillium Drive
Trillium Drive, Troy, MI
The Trillium Drive garage was 695 square feet covered in a failed DIY epoxy kit. The coating had lost adhesion across much of the slab — peeling and worn in multiple areas. Oil staining and surface staining were visible beneath and around the failing epoxy.
Minor cracks and pitting were present across the slab. A heavily rusted drain cover sat in one corner of the floor.
Two concrete steps and a landing lead to the interior door. A 15-linear-foot vertical lip runs along the perimeter. Both were included in the scope.

NEW Garage Floor Coating
on Whitney Court
Whitney Court, Troy, MI
The Whitney Court garage was 663 square feet covered in a failing epoxy coating. The epoxy had lost adhesion and was peeling up in multiple spots across the slab. Oil staining was visible beneath and around the failing material.
Epoxy residue had worked its way into the saw cuts across the slab. Minor cracks and pitting were present in spots throughout the floor. A raised step platform runs along the back wall. The platform tread and face were included in the scope.
Epoxy Removal and Saw Cut Clearance
Epoxy residue in saw cuts creates a non-bonding layer the new system cannot bond through. Both the old coating and the residue in the cuts had to come out. Our crew diamond-ground the full 663 square feet to remove the failing epoxy throughout. The grinding also cleared the epoxy residue from every saw cut across the slab.
Our team vacuumed thoroughly after each pass. The slab came out of preparation clean, open, and free of the old material.

The MotorCity Advantage
MotorCity Floors and Coatings specializes in professional-grade polyurea-polyaspartic systems. These dual-coating systems are replacing epoxy products constrained by older chemistry. Our systems deliver strong chemical resistance, superior durability, greater flexibility, shorter cure times, and proven UV stability that maintains color for decades. We back every installation with an industry-leading warranty.
Each project includes thorough diamond grinding preparation, flexible polyurea crack repair, and careful application to ensure consistent coverage across the full slab. When prior coatings are present — as our crew found at properties on Lyster Lane and Vanderpool Avenue — we strip the existing system completely before any new material goes down. This step ensures the polyurea-polyaspartic system bonds directly to the concrete rather than to a compromised surface above it.
