At Permaco, with over a decade of construction experience in Cary, we deliver custom-engineered epoxy, polyaspartic, and decorative flake systems for garages, workshops, patios, and commercial areas. Including homes in Lochmere and Amberly to retail spaces near Waverly Place and Fenton.
According to industry studies, approximately 73% of garage floor coating failures are caused by improper surface preparation, when installers skip thorough grinding or profiling.
Every project begins with on‑site scratch and porosity testing, followed by real 4×4 ft sample panels and slab‑specific grinding, not templated one‑size‑fits‑all prep.
Whether we’re restoring a garage near Downtown Cary, coating floors by WakeMed Soccer Park, our 2–3 day install timelines, realistic warranty options, and local hands-on experience, Permaco delivers trusted coatings built to last, not built for shortcuts.
Why Choose Permaco for Your Garage Floor Coating?
Most garage floor contractors show up with a van full of pre-selected materials and a grinder set to one grit. At Permaco, we don’t guess, we test and tailor every step to your specific slab.
Every project begins with on-site scratch and porosity testing, because no two concrete slabs absorb resin the same. We engineer adhesion from the ground up, not based on assumptions.
We don’t hand you color swatches in a brochure, we provide full-size sample panels, created based on your preferences. Our standard process spans 2–3 days to allow proper grinding, layering, and curing, because speed without bond strength is a warranty waiting to fail.
You’ll also get:
- Precision grinding matched to your slab, not one-size-fits-all diamond heads
- Storage trailers for your gear, so your project stays on track without the mess
- Realistic residential and commercial warranties, written by installers, not lawyers
- A local Cary crew, not subcontractors
We’re here to be the most reliable.

What Are Garage Floor Coatings and Why Do They Matter in Cary?
Garage floor coatings are seamless, high-performance surface systems, typically made from epoxy, polyaspartic, or flake-layered resins, that shield your concrete from wear, staining, and moisture intrusion.
In Cary, where 2-car garage sizes average 360 square feet according to Angie’s List, most slabs are compact, lightly reinforced, and often exposed to harsh seasonal shifts. This creates the perfect storm for deterioration, especially in older homes built before 2025, where bare concrete is commonly unsealed and highly porous.
Permaco tests adhesion on-site, assesses porosity, and selects resin systems based on Cary’s freeze-thaw exposure and humidity profiles.
Slip Resistance Standards & How Permaco Exceeds Them
Garage coatings need to be safe underfoot, especially when wet. While North Carolina building code does not mandate a specific coefficient of friction (COF) for residential garages, most professionals, including the National Floor Safety Institute, recommend a minimum dynamic COF of 0.42 for wet surfaces.
At Permaco, we don’t settle for meeting the minimum, we engineer coatings to exceed typical slip resistance benchmarks from the start. That means layering textured flake systems into our polyaspartic topcoats and verifying traction with pendulum or DCOF standards used in high-traffic commercial spaces.
Sustainable slip resistance over time, not just right after install, is the real benchmark. That’s why our finishes are built to hold their grip even after months of tire abrasion, chemical exposure, or seasonal grime. Whether it’s a sloped garage in Amberly or a multi-car bay in Briarcliff, we deliver coatings you can trust when safety matters.
Meet Permaco: Cary’s Precision Concrete Coating Specialists
Permaco was founded by construction professionals. With over a decade of boots-on-ground experience in the residential and commercial build space, we’ve seen firsthand what causes coatings to fail: improper prep, mismatched resins, and zero slab evaluation.
That’s why we started Permaco, to bring precision, testing, and real-world durability back into an industry flooded with shortcuts.
Our roots are right here in the Triangle. We’ve coated garages in Cary’s Preston neighborhoods, pool decks in Lochmere, and service bays off the Cary Arts Center. Every project starts with the same protocol: on-site porosity testing, scratch assessment, and slab profiling, because you shouldn’t have to guess what your floor will look like based on a phone screen.
We don’t franchise. We don’t outsource. And we don’t take shortcuts. Our crew handles everything from testing to topcoat, using pro-grade equipment and industry-standard chemistry, because coatings should be engineered, not improvised
Request a Free Sample and Testing Consult
Every successful coating starts with what others ski, testing. That’s why Permaco offers free on-site scratch and porosity tests, plus a walkthrough of your garage to assess moisture levels, joint movement, and surface profile.
Want to see what your coating will actually look like in your space? We’ll create a custom 4×4 ft physical sample panel, using your lighting, your concrete, and your color preferences. No guessing and no filtered photo books.
