At Big Easy Flooring we coat and finish parking garage decks across New Orleans and the surrounding parishes. Contact us and we will walk the space, measure it and price the work.
Tires arrive hot, vehicles leak oil, and water comes in on every car during a Louisiana downpour. A garage deck needs a system that bonds into the slab and does not care about any of that.
It also has to take point loads from jacks and racking, and survive the cleaning regime, which in a garage usually means a machine rather than a mop.
Deck systems, and where each one belongs. Ramps and flat decks are not the same surface problem.
Flat deck areas, sealing the slab so it stops dusting and taking up oil.
More on floor coatingsHeavier duty bays and plant areas, where point loading and spill are routine.
More on seamless resinRamps and turning areas, where the texture is doing safety work rather than decoration.
More on flake resinDecks over occupied space, where what matters is that water does not reach what is underneath.
More on waterproof systemsA flat deck and a ramp are not the same surface problem. A ramp that is wet and smooth is dangerous, and it is the part of a garage most likely to generate a claim.
Non-slip finishes on ramps and turning areas are worth specifying deliberately rather than leaving to whatever the field coating happens to do.
The same goes for the pedestrian route. Where people walk across a deck, that line deserves its own thought.
Deck coatings fail at the bond. Grinding the slab and testing it for moisture is what makes the bond hold.
Skipping it buys a floor that looks finished on handover and lifts in sheets within a season, usually starting where the traffic turns.
Existing coatings have to be dealt with rather than covered. A new system over a failing old one fails at the same rate.
Most garages cannot close, so the work is phased bay by bay or level by level, with the sequence agreed before anything is ground.
Cure times drive that sequence. A bay that needs forty-eight hours before a car goes on it has to be planned for, not discovered.
Line marking and bay layout are part of the same visit rather than a separate trade turning up afterwards.
A parking garage job prices on access and program as much as on area.
We will not quote a rate over the phone, because a rate without a measure is a guess with a number on it. We come out, measure, test what needs testing and put it in writing.
Usually, depending what is already on it and how the moisture test reads.
Yes, bay layout and marking are part of the work.
It gets a non-slip finish. A smooth ramp in the wet is a hazard.
Yes. Most garages have to stay partly open, so phasing is normal.
Longer than people can walk on it. The exact figure comes with the system and is in the program.
It comes off first. Coating over a failing system just buys the same failure again.
