Precision concrete coatings for West U homes where quality is non-negotiable.
West University Place homeowners set a high bar. Garages double as finished living space, patios extend the entertaining footprint, and the coating has to perform under daily car traffic and Houston humidity. Elite Coatings brings the same attention to detail to a West U garage that we bring to a showroom floor.
Coating systems for West University Place homes and commercial spaces.
West U garages often serve as clean utility rooms, workshops, and display spaces as much as parking. The prep and finish standards we hold to here match or exceed any residential project in our portfolio. Moisture mitigation, crack repair, and diamond grinding before any coating touches the slab.
Flake Epoxy for Garages+
Chip-broadcast flake epoxy is the most-requested residential system we install in West University Place. It hides surface pitting and hairline cracks, resists tire marks and oil staining, and gives garages a clean professional look with slip-resistant texture. Starts around $6 per square foot with 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 West University Place showrooms, luxury garages, restaurants, and retail. Starts around $10 per square foot. 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 West University Place warehouses, retail, restaurants, offices, and modern residential. Starts around $5 per square foot. Polished concrete details here.
Patio & Exterior Coatings+
UV-stable polyaspartic and exterior specialty systems for West University Place 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 West University Place 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 West University Place homeowners who want to keep the concrete character rather than cover it with epoxy. Stained concrete details here.
Prep is 80% of the job.
West University Place sits on the same shallow-water table as much of inner Houston. Slab vapor drive varies lot-to-lot depending on drainage and landscaping. Justin tests every West U slab with a calcium-chloride kit and scopes moisture mitigation into the job where the test flags it, not as a surprise add-on at install day.
The coating systems we specify for West U are commercial-grade: 100% solids epoxy basecoats, commercial polyaspartic topcoats, UV-stable finishes on any exterior concrete. The floor should outlast every other renovation in the house.
What West University Place 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. · West University Place · 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. · West University Place“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. · West University Place“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. · West University Place, TX“Commercial floor in our West University Place 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 West University Place homeowners.
What kind of prep does a West U slab typically need?
Diamond grinding is standard on every job. We also check for previous coatings or sealers that need removal, run a moisture test, and inspect for cracks or surface defects. West U garages that have had DIY coatings applied previously sometimes require more aggressive prep to get the old material off before a permanent system goes down.
What does epoxy prep look like in West University Place?
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 West University Place garage floor cost?
Flake and solid color epoxy start around $6 per square foot. Metallic epoxy starts around $10 per square foot. Polished concrete starts around $5 per square foot. Every price includes full prep, moisture treatment when needed, and a commercial-grade topcoat. We quote in writing with the scope itemized so there are no add-ons on install day.
Do you offer free quotes in West University Place?
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 West University Place 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.
