Car Wash Epoxy that survives the room
Permanently wet and chemically loaded. We are in and out in a day on most garages, then the floor cures.
The one place a slip rating is not optional.
What we actually install
Quartz or urethane cement, drainage respected.
Good floors are decided during prep, not during the pour. Standing water, soap and brushes.

Cure
A standard install is one day of work and two days of patience.
What the install actually looks like
The slab sets the spec, not the brochure.
The floor tells us what it needs before we quote anything. 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. Quartz or urethane cement, drainage respected.
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. Grind in the morning, coat in the afternoon, walk on it that night.
This is a family crew. Kevin founded it in 2021 and works alongside Aaron, Kyler and Averie. That matters on a car wash 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

The slab decides the spec.
What we find under a car wash epoxy job
A slab that has been acid etched instead of ground has an inconsistent profile. Some areas take the coating and some do not, and you cannot tell which until it fails. We grind regardless of what was done before.
Gulf Coast concrete carries moisture. Slabs poured on sand without a vapour barrier wick water up through the mix continuously, and that vapour pressure is what lifts a coating months after it looked perfect. We test for it before quoting, because the honest answer sometimes is a moisture-tolerant system rather than standard epoxy.
The system we specify
Moisture-tolerant primers exist for a reason and cost more for a reason. On a damp slab they are the difference between a floor and a warranty claim.
Dark floors show dust and light floors show tyre marks. There is no colour that hides everything, and we would rather say that than sell a finish that disappoints.
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.
Most residential floors go down in a single day. Walk on it in 12 hours, move heavy things at 24, park on it at 48.
How we build for a shop
Permanently wet and chemically loaded.
What this floor has to put up with
Standing water, soap and brushes. Quartz or urethane cement, drainage respected. That combination is what we specify against, and it is why a car wash epoxy job is quoted from the room rather than from a rate card.
The one place a slip rating is not optional. You lose the garage for a day, not a week.
Living with the floor afterwards
Pressure washing exterior coated concrete is fine at sensible pressure. Holding a turbo nozzle in one place is not.
Do not use degreasers with high pH on a regular basis. They will dull a clear coat over time. Neutral cleaner and water handles almost everything.
We work out of Laurel and cover roughly a hundred miles in every direction. That takes in Jones County, Rankin, Simpson and Lamar to the north and west, the whole Mississippi coast from Bay St. Louis through Biloxi to Pascagoula, across into Baldwin and Mobile County in Alabama, and west to St. Tammany Parish.

Questions we get asked
How many days do you need on site?
We are in and out in a day on most garages, then the floor cures.
What is the prep work here?
Quartz or urethane cement, drainage respected. Prep is most of the work and all of the reason coatings last.
How does it handle heavy use?
Standing water, soap and brushes. We specify the build thickness against the actual use, not a standard sheet.
How far do you travel for this?
Yes. We cover south Mississippi, the coast, coastal Alabama and St. Tammany Parish, roughly a hundred miles out from Laurel.
Who actually does the work?
This company exists to be passed down, which changes how carefully you work.
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.
What if the concrete is in bad shape?
Basement and below-grade slabs are damp by default. A coating that works in a garage will not necessarily hold down there, so those rooms get a system chosen for moisture rather than for looks.
How do I clean it?
If something is spilled that should not be there, wipe it rather than leaving it to sit. Coatings are resistant, not immune, and contact time is what decides whether resistance matters.
Why does this outlast a cheap coating?
Polyaspartic topcoats cure faster and hold colour better under UV than standard epoxy clears. They also go down in a wider temperature window, which matters when you are working through a Mississippi summer.
