Most jobs need one day of our time and none of yours.
What the install actually looks like
First we make the slab ready, then the finish is the easy part.
We would rather spend the morning grinding than come back in a year. We turn up with the grinder and the extraction first, and the first hour is dust and noise rather than anything that looks like progress. Sloped, sealed and slip-rated for a wet bay.
Once the slab is open and clean we chase any cracks, fill them, and grind those flat. Then the primer goes down, and from that point the day is a sequence with cure windows in it rather than a job you can rush. One day install, 12 hours to walk, 48 to drive.
A family operation out of Laurel, running since 2021. That matters on a auto detailing epoxy job because the person who decided the spec is the person holding the squeegee, so nothing gets lost between the quote and the floor.
Choosing somebody to do our Floors was a hard decision but I am so happy we picked ICM coating masters. The results are beautiful and The time and effort put into the work was amazing.Verified review
Other automotive floors we coat
The slab decides the spec.
What we find under a auto detailing epoxy job
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.
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.
The system we specify
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.
Full flake broadcast means chip thrown to refusal, so the floor is a continuous layer of vinyl rather than a base coat with decoration on it. That is what gives the texture its grip and what stops the colour wearing through.
Specified from the load, not a brochure.
What a working shop does to a floor
Shop floors fail in specific places for specific reasons. Under the lift posts because the load is concentrated. At the bay entrance because that is where wet tyres and road salt land first. Around the parts washer because solvent sits there. A floor specified as a single uniform build across the whole shop is being optimised for the easiest part of the room.
Hot tyre pickup is the failure people know by name. A tyre that has been on the interstate comes in hot and soft, sits on the coating, and when it cools it grips the finish harder than the finish grips the concrete. Cheap single-coat epoxy lifts in patches shaped like tyres. A flake build with a polyaspartic topcoat does not, because the topcoat is harder than the plasticiser coming out of the rubber.
The whole system goes down in one visit on most homes.
How we build for a shop
Standing water and constant chemicals.
What this floor has to put up with
Wash water, polish residue and foot traffic. Sloped, sealed and slip-rated for a wet bay. That combination is what we specify against, and it is why a auto detailing epoxy job is quoted from the room rather than from a rate card.
Customers judge a detail shop by its floor. Most of our residential installs are complete within a single working day.
Living with the floor afterwards
Sunlight through a garage door will fade a cheap floor unevenly along the door line. UV-stable topcoats exist precisely for that.
Keep the drains clear in a wet room. Standing water is not a problem for the coating and is a problem for everything else.

Questions we get asked
Do you need the space for more than a day?
One day down for most homes. Commercial work is phased to your hours.
What do you do before any resin goes down?
Sloped, sealed and slip-rated for a wet bay. We test the slab before we promise a finish.
Does it cope with the loads in here?
Wash water, polish residue and foot traffic. We specify the build thickness against the actual use, not a standard sheet.
Is my area inside your radius?
Yes. We cover south Mississippi, the coast, coastal Alabama and St. Tammany Parish, roughly a hundred miles out from Laurel.
Who will be in my building?
Kevin Garner set this up in 2021 for his family to carry on.
Can I see the colour before deciding?
Yes. We bring the chip deck out and you pick the blend against your own light and your own walls. Colours read differently under LED, under a skylight and under a garage door that is half open, so choosing off a photograph is how people end up disappointed.
Does a cracked slab rule this out?
Concrete keeps moving for years after it is poured, and it moves more near the coast where the ground is wet and sandy. That is why we detail edges and joints rather than laying one continuous rigid sheet and hoping.
How do I stop it wearing?
Coated floors do not need to be stripped and resealed, which is where the savings against VCT actually come from.
Why does the topcoat matter?
Everything we install is a system that has been tested as a system. That is the practical value of working to a manufacturer spec instead of improvising.
