Epoxy garage floors and patio coatings across Katy, TX.
Katy is one of the fastest-growing corridors in the Houston metro with large residential garages and active outdoor living spaces. Elite Coatings installs flake, metallic, and polished concrete systems throughout Katy’s subdivisions.
Coating systems for Katy homes and commercial spaces.
Katy spans three counties with a housing stock that ranges from established 1980s neighborhoods near Old Katy to brand-new pours in the current Grand Parkway build-out. The slab quality is generally good in newer Katy subdivisions, but we still inspect, test, and grind before coating. New concrete is not automatically ready to coat.
Flake Epoxy for Garages+
Chip-broadcast flake epoxy is the most-requested residential system we install in Katy. It hides surface pitting and hairline cracks, resists tire marks and oil staining, and gives garages a clean professional look with slip-resistant texture. Every install includes full diamond grinding, a moisture barrier when the slab requires it, and a commercial-grade polyaspartic topcoat. Full flake system details here.
Metallic Epoxy Showroom Floors+
Metallic epoxy is our premium residential and commercial finish. No two floors look the same: the metallic pigments move and pool differently on every slab, creating a one-of-a-kind result. Good fit for Katy showrooms, luxury garages, restaurants, and retail. It sits at the top of our residential line for a reason. Metallic epoxy details here.
Polished Concrete+
Diamond-ground, densified, and burnished concrete that turns the slab itself into the finish floor. No topcoat to peel. Life-of-building durability when the substrate is right. Good fit for Katy warehouses, retail, restaurants, offices, and modern residential. Polished concrete details here.
Patio & Exterior Coatings+
UV-stable polyaspartic and exterior specialty systems for Katy patios, pool decks, driveways, and covered outdoor areas. Purpose-built for Texas sun and Houston humidity. Interior epoxy outside will chalk and peel within a season. We won’t install that at an exterior site. Exterior concrete details here.
Solid Color Epoxy+
Clean, flat finish for Katy garages, workshops, and utility rooms. Chemical durability, easy to maintain, visually tidy. Good choice for commercial and industrial spaces that want a professional look without the texture variation of flake. Solid color details here.
Stained Concrete+
Natural organic color directly on the existing slab. Acid or water-based stain, sealed with UV-stable topcoat. Good fit for Katy homeowners who want to keep the concrete character rather than cover it with epoxy. Stained concrete details here.
Prep is 80% of the job.
Katy sits on the Katy Prairie where the clay soil expands and contracts seasonally. Differential slab movement is more common here than in areas on sandy fill. We inspect for shrinkage cracks and joint movement during pre-install and route any active cracks before the coating goes down.
Large three-car and four-car garages are common in Katy, which makes this one of our larger per-job footprints in the service area. Larger square footage doesn’t change the prep standard, but it does make the material and labor cost more predictable on a per-square-foot basis.
What Katy homeowners say.
“Justin walked my slab before he gave me a number. Found a moisture issue the other guy didn’t mention. Glad I went with Elite. The floor held through a full Texas summer without a single issue.”
Marcus T. · Katy · Flake garage“Quoted me honestly, showed up on time, did the prep properly, and the result looks better than the photos on the website. No sales games. Straight shooter.”
Rachel H. · Katy“Patio coating looks brand new two years in. No chalking, no peeling. I’ve had compliments from guests who thought we replaced the concrete.”
Dave W. · Katy“They told me one of my slabs wasn’t a good candidate until I got a crack repaired. I appreciated the honesty. Came back after the repair and installed a metallic floor that gets comments every time someone sees the garage.”
Karen L. · Katy, TX“Commercial floor in our Katy shop. They handled the square footage efficiently, stayed on schedule, and the floor has held up to daily forklift traffic. Same price they quoted.”

Questions we hear from Katy homeowners.
What’s the lead time for a Katy garage job?
We typically schedule Katy jobs 1 to 2 weeks out depending on the season. Summer is our busiest period. We’ll give you a written install window at quote time. The job itself runs one to two days for a standard three-car garage.
What does epoxy prep look like in Katy?
Every install starts with diamond grinding to open the concrete surface to CSP 3-4 profile. We run a calcium-chloride moisture test, route and fill any cracks, and apply a moisture barrier when the test reading calls for it. Prep is typically half or more of the total install time. Skipping it is the primary reason coatings fail.
How much does a Katy garage floor cost?
It depends on the system, the condition of the slab, and how much prep the concrete needs, so we look at the floor before we put a number on it. Flake and solid color systems are the most economical, metallic sits at the premium end, and polished concrete lands in between depending on the gloss level. Every quote includes full prep, moisture treatment when needed, and a commercial-grade topcoat, in writing with the scope itemized so there are no add-ons on install day.
Do you offer free quotes in Katy?
Yes. Justin or a member of the team walks the slab, runs a moisture test, documents any repairs needed, and gives you a written scope and price. No high-pressure tactics. If the slab isn’t a good candidate for coating, we’ll tell you that before you commit to anything.
How long does a Katy install take?
Most residential garage installs run one to two days. Foot traffic at 24 hours, vehicle traffic at 72 hours. Larger commercial installs are scoped individually. Older slabs with more prep work take longer and we price that into the scope at quote time.
What neighborhoods do you cover in Katy?
We cover all of Katy: Grand Parkway, Cinco Ranch, LaCenterra, Old Katy Road, Mason Road corridor. No travel surcharges within our service area.
