Polyurea-Polyaspartic Garage Floor Coating in Farmington Hills, MI
Welcome to MotorCity Flooring and Coatings’ showcase of examples of garage floor coating in Farmington Hills, MI. In this page, you will find detailed project stories from locations all around Farmington Hills—real installations that demonstrate our commitment to quality and durability.
Our specialist teams serve every neighborhood in Farmington Hills with comprehensive garage floor coating services. Each project begins with thorough concrete preparation: diamond grinding to remove old coatings and contaminants, repairing cracks and pitting, and addressing moisture concerns. We then apply our advanced polyurea-polyaspartic coating system—a hybrid technology that combines the incredible durability of polyurea material with the UV stability and fast cure times of polyaspartic coating.
This dual-component system creates a floor that withstands the harsh weather cycles of Michigan—from sub-zero winters to humid summers—without cracking, peeling, or yellowing. The chemical-resistant surface repels oil, salt, and automotive fluids while standing up to the constant pressure from vehicle tires and foot traffic.
Every garage floor installation includes decorative flakes for a professional appearance and customizable traction levels for safety. The result? A garage floor coating that shows very strong UV resistance, reduced hot tire pickup, greater flexibility, excellent chemical resistance, good abrasion resistance, a wide temperature application range, and a better temperature cycling than epoxy. Our floor coating system cures in hours rather than days and comes with our industry-leading warranty.
For ultimate convenience, we install your new floor coating in just 1 day. We come early in the morning and operate discreetly to minimize noise inconvenience to your neighbors. You don’t need to be home if you have other things to do.

Garage Floor Coating
on Oak Forest Drive
Oak Forest Drive, Farmington Hills, MI
Lead Tech: Brad
The Starting Point
Brad and his crew from MotorCity Floors arrived at this Oak Forest Drive property to tackle a 484-square-foot garage floor in rough condition. The concrete told the story of years of use – pitting and cracking scattered across the surface, moisture content reading at 3.4%, and the dull, worn appearance of bare concrete that had seen better days.
The Challenge
This wasn’t just a simple coating job. The scope included:
- Managing 22 linear feet of vertical lip transitions
- Addressing one concrete step
- Repairing the existing pitting and cracking damage
- Extending the coating all the way to the edge of the driveway for a seamless finish

Garage Floor Coating
on Shadowglen Dr.
Shadowglen Drive, Farmington Hills, MI
Lead Tech: G. Cain, Truck #5
The Challenge Ahead
When our lead tech and his crew arrived at our client’s home on Shadowglen Drive, they were greeted by a 462.89-square-foot garage floor that had seen better days. Much better days. The concrete was a roadmap of damage – jagged cracks snaking across the surface, heavy pitting throughout, and loose, deteriorating concrete concentrated in the middle sections on both sides of the garage.
The moisture content read at 3.9%, and the scope was clear: two concrete steps to coat, 22.07 linear feet of vertical lip work, and the job needed to extend seamlessly to the edge of the driveway.
Setting Expectations
Before work began, our lead tech had an important conversation with the homeowner. The cracking and heavy pitting repairs wouldn’t be covered by warranty – the damage was simply too extensive. The customer understood and gave the green light to proceed.
There was another detail: felt paper covered about half the garage floor and was still in decent shape. Our client specifically requested they not spray it black, so the crew worked around it, respecting our customer’s preference.

Garage Floor Coating
on Juniper Ct.
Juniper Ct, Farmington Hills, MI
Lead Tech: G. Cain, Truck #5
A Special Request
When our lead tech arrived at Mr. J.D.’s condo garage on Juniper Court, he knew this wasn’t just another 244-square-foot coating job. Our customer, a kind elderly gentleman with a disability, had a specific and important need: traction. Extra traction. The kind that could prevent a fall and change someone’s quality of life.
The concrete told a familiar story – pitting throughout, general cracking, one particularly deep crack running through the middle of the floor. Nothing catastrophic, but years of wear showing through. Moisture content at 3.8%, no existing coating to remove, just honest concrete in need of attention. The front right lip had a chunk missing that would need rebuilding.
The Traction Solution
After hearing our customer’s concerns, Our lead tech made the call: aggressive 24-grit preparation plus hand-thrown 24-grit shark grip in the topcoat. Not the usual approach, but our customer deserved a floor he could trust under his feet.

Garage Floor Coating
on Amber Dr.
Amber Dr, Farmington Hills, MI
Arrival: 8:00 AM
The Crime Scene
When the MotorCity crew arrived at our customer’s home on Amber Drive, they didn’t find a garage floor that needed coating – they found a crime scene. Some previous contractor had turned our customer’s 453-square-foot garage into an epoxy disaster zone.
The evidence was everywhere: paint splattered on the trim, decorative flakes embedded in the baseboards, coating spilled onto the driveway. The floor itself was a roadmap of failure – spiderweb cracks radiating from stress points, pitting throughout, and sections where the old epoxy was simply giving up and peeling away. The front lip was broken and crumbling, a hazard waiting to catch a foot or a tire.
This wasn’t just a redo. This was a rescue operation.
The Challenge: Working Against the Clock
After removing the old caulk and failed epoxy, grinding through 29 linear feet of contaminated vertical surfaces, and preparing the damaged concrete (moisture content at 3.8%), the crew faced an unexpected enemy: time.
The conditions were hot. Materials were setting fast. Really fast.
“Had to make half mixes,” the notes record with the brevity of a combat report. “Paint still dried within 5 mins.”
Think about that. In a normal application, you mix a batch of coating and have a reasonable working window to spread it across a section. On Amber Drive, the crew had five minutes from mix to application to broadcast – or they’d have hardened material in their buckets.

Garage Floor Coating
on Rocky Crest Street
Rocky Crest Street, Farmington Hills, MI
Lead Tech: Jesus M., Truck #7
The 3 AM Start
When Jesus M. and his crew arrived at Rocky Crest Street at 3:00 in the morning on May 1, 2023, they weren’t early – they were strategic. The concrete temperature reading at 41° told them everything: Michigan’s unpredictable spring weather meant they needed to work with the temperature, not against it.
The 420.5-square-foot garage floor waiting for them had clearly served hard duty. Oil stains penetrated deep into the porous concrete. Tire tracks had worn permanent paths across the surface. Years of Michigan winters – road salt, freeze-thaw cycles, moisture infiltration – had left the concrete pitted and deteriorating. This wasn’t cosmetic damage; this was structural degradation in progress.
The Cold Concrete Challenge
That 41° concrete temperature created a specific technical challenge. Too cold, and coatings won’t cure properly. Too warm, and they flash too fast. Jesus and his team were working in that narrow window where precision matters more than speed.
The moisture content tested clean – no barrier needed, no oil extraction required. But the temperature meant careful material management, adjusted mix ratios, and constant monitoring of cure times. This is where experience separates professionals from weekend warriors.

Garage Floor Coating
on Cheswick Street
Cheswick Street, Farmington Hills, MI
The Canvas: 668 Square Feet of Hard Use
The garage on Cheswick Street had clearly served its purpose well over the years—perhaps too well. At 668 square feet, this wasn’t a small space, and every inch of it showed the accumulated damage of Michigan winters, automotive fluids, and constant vehicle traffic.
Oil stains had penetrated deep into the porous concrete, creating dark patches scattered across the floor. Pitting pockmarked the surface where moisture had infiltrated and freeze-thaw cycles had done their destructive work. Cracks spider-webbed through sections of the slab, some superficial, others running deeper and wider. The threshold area near the garage door showed particularly severe deterioration—years of water infiltration, road salt, and traffic had taken their toll.
Even the wooden stairs leading to the interior door bore the marks of garage life: stained, worn, utilitarian.
The moisture content tested at 3.8%—acceptable, no barrier needed—but this floor needed serious repair work before any coating could be applied.
The MR-50 Solution
Before any cosmetic work could begin, the MotorCity crew needed to address the structural issues. This is where MR-50 primer becomes more than just a base coat—it becomes a repair material.
The photos document the process: pools of MR-50 filling the pitted areas, bridging the cracks, rebuilding the damaged threshold. This isn’t just slapping primer on concrete; this is structural remediation. The MR-50 penetrates into the damaged areas, bonds at a molecular level with the concrete, and creates a unified surface that’s actually stronger than the original slab.
The crew worked systematically across 668 square feet, identifying every pit, every crack, every compromised section, and addressing each one. No shortcuts. No “good enough.” Just methodical restoration.

Garage Floor Coating
on Middlebelt Road
Middlebelt Road, Farmington Hills, MI
The Monastery Garage Challenge
When the MotorCity crew arrived at the monastery on Middlebelt Road, they knew immediately this wouldn’t be a standard garage floor job. The 523-square-foot space had clearly served the religious community for decades—and every one of those years showed.
The concrete was beyond typical wear. Heavy pitting covered nearly the entire surface, some craters deep enough to collect water, others creating rough, jagged surfaces that made the floor treacherous. Oil stains had penetrated deep into the porous concrete. But the biggest challenge? An old paint coating covered sections of the floor, a previous attempt at protection that had failed spectacularly and now needed complete removal.
Yellow parking lines still visible on the surface told the story of organized use, but the concrete beneath told the story of neglect and deterioration. This floor wasn’t just ugly—it was actively degrading.
The Removal and Repair Phase
Before any new coating could be applied, the crew had to address the fundamental problems. This meant starting from scratch.
Paint Removal: Diamond grinding began, the machines working methodically across 523 square feet to remove every trace of the failed coating. The HEPA vacuums attached to the grinders captured the dust, keeping the monastery’s air clean while the crew worked. This wasn’t quick work—old paint doesn’t surrender easily—but it was essential work.
Pitting Repair: With the old coating removed, the true extent of the damage became visible. The photos document the repair process: pools of MR-50 mender filling the countless pits scattered across the floor. This wasn’t superficial patching; this was structural restoration. Each pit needed to be filled, leveled, and bonded to create a sound surface.
The crew worked through the damaged areas systematically, identifying every compromised section, every crater, every void. The moisture content tested at 3.8%—acceptable, no barrier needed—but the physical damage required serious attention.

Garage Floor Coating
on Hargrove Court
Hargrove Court, Farmington Hills, MI
Day One: August 1 - The Oil Extraction
When the MotorCity crew first arrived at the garage on Hargrove Court, they immediately identified the problem that would determine the entire project timeline: oil contamination.
The 478-square-foot garage floor showed typical wear—pitting, cracks, surface degradation from years of Michigan weather—but none of that mattered if the oil wasn’t addressed first. Deep in the center of the floor, a large oil stain had penetrated into the porous concrete. Not surface-level residue that could be cleaned away, but deep contamination that had soaked into the concrete matrix itself.
You can’t coat over oil. The chemistry won’t allow it. Oil creates a barrier that prevents proper adhesion, and any coating applied over contaminated concrete will eventually fail—delaminating, peeling, bubbling. It’s not a question of if, but when.
So before any coating work could begin, the oil had to come out.
The Extraction Process
The photos document the process: a specialized oil extraction material spread thick across the contaminated area, its surface glistening wet as it works. This isn’t a quick fix. The extraction compound needs time to draw the oil out of the concrete pores, pulling contamination up from deep within the substrate.
The crew applied the material, ensured proper coverage across the entire affected area, and then… walked away. This is chemistry, not construction. The extraction process needs time to work—hours for the compound to penetrate, absorb, and draw out the oil that had worked its way deep into the concrete over months or years of leaks and spills.
August 1st became extraction day. Not coating day. Not even prep day. Just extraction—the unglamorous but absolutely essential first step in addressing a contaminated floor.
