Magee floor coatings, done in a day
Small-town residential and agricultural work north of Laurel. Most jobs need one day of our time and none of yours.

Floors we coat around Magee
Small-town residential and agricultural work north of Laurel.
New pours need to cure before they are coated, and the wait is longer than most people expect. Coating green concrete traps water under the film. We would rather push the date than come back to a blistered floor.
What a Magee job usually involves
Detached shops and workshops are common on the bigger lots, and those slabs are a different job. They are often unsealed, frequently damp because there is no vapor barrier underneath, and they have usually had something spilled on them. Moisture testing decides the system.
One day, one crew, then cure time does the rest.
We see a lot of two-car garages where only half the floor has ever been parked on, and the wear pattern is obvious once the grinder starts. That does not change the spec, but it does explain why one side looks worse.
Where a property has been rented out the slab has usually had a harder life than the owner realises. We would rather look at it than quote off a description.
The slab decides the spec.
Before we quote anything
Commercial slabs that have been in service take oil deep into the pores. Surface degreasing does not reach it, and resin will not bond through it. We grind it out, and where contamination runs deep we prime with something built to tolerate it.
Quartz systems are built in layers, broadcast and troweled rather than rolled. It is slower to install and it is the toughest, grippiest thing we lay.
Living with it afterwards
A coated floor can be repaired in place. Damage gets ground back locally, rebuilt and blended, which is not possible with tile or with polished concrete.
Keep the drains clear in a wet room. Standing water is not a problem for the coating and is a problem for everything else.

Commercial work around Magee
Church halls, small offices and community buildings turn up in most towns we work in, and those are almost always scheduled around a calendar rather than around us.
Sheds and outbuildings on slab are worth coating if they are being used for anything beyond storage. Unsealed concrete in an outbuilding is the dustiest floor most people own.
The full roster runs to seventy five different rooms, from garages through to food plants and clean rooms. It is all on the services page.
Why the prep matters more than the color
A lot of the slabs we open up have been sealed at some point with an acrylic nobody remembers. It reads as clean concrete until the diamonds hit it and the surface loads up. That is a full mechanical removal, not a light scuff, and it changes the day.
Older residential slabs in Jones County often have a soft top layer from being finished too wet. It looks solid and crumbles under a grinder. If we find that, the fix is grinding past it to sound concrete rather than coating over a layer that is already failing.
Primers, base, broadcast and topcoat are four separate products that have to be compatible. Mixing brands across layers is how delamination happens.
Grinding is most of the job.
Getting to you
From Laurel we cover south Mississippi, the coast, coastal Alabama and St. Tammany Parish. If you are inside about a hundred miles, we will come and look at the slab.
Magee sits in Simpson County. See the other towns we cover on the Simpson County page or the full service areas list.
Aaron and his crew did a fantastic job, friendly and professional.Verified review
How the day runs
The first hour on site is spent on the concrete, not the color. We arrive with the grinder and the dust extraction, and the first stretch is noise and containment rather than anything that looks like progress. Getting the slab open and clean is what the rest of the day depends on.
Cracks get chased out and filled, high spots come down, and any old coating comes off rather than getting buried. Then the primer goes on and the day becomes a sequence with cure windows in it. A typical garage is a one day install. You are walking on it that evening.
Kevin founded ICM Coating Masters in 2021 and still runs jobs himself. Nothing gets lost between the quote and the floor because it is the same people doing both.
If a crack appears in the slab years later, that is the concrete moving, not the coating failing. It can be chased and repaired without redoing the floor. If you want to see blends first, the chip deck comes to you, and there are finished floors on the gallery page.
Magee questions
Do you cover Magee?
Yes. We are based in Laurel and Magee is inside our normal working radius.
How long does a garage take?
We grind, coat and topcoat in one visit on most residential jobs.
What is the slab likely to need?
Small-town residential and agricultural work north of Laurel. Where a floor has been patched repeatedly with different products, each patch behaves differently under a grinder and under resin. Sometimes the right call is removing the patches entirely.
Can you match a color?
Yes. The chip deck comes to you so you choose against your own light.
Do you do commercial work here?
Yes. Shops, kitchens, clinics and warehouses across Simpson County.
