Can I see a finished floor before I order one?

Yes, and we would rather you did. Our shop is in Marietta and the floor in it is the same build we install in homes. Flake blends in particular look nothing like the photographs of them, so standing on one under real light is the quickest way to be certain about a color.

Do you charge extra to come out to East Cobb or Kennesaw?

No. We are based in Marietta, so everything in Cobb County is a local job and there is no travel loaded into the quote. It is also why we are glad to come out and look before pricing anything, rather than putting a number on a garage over the phone.

There is a crack running across my garage floor. Does that get fixed first?

Yes. Settlement cracks are cut open, filled with a structural repair material, and ground flat before any coating goes over them. Coat straight across a crack and it disappears for a season, then telegraphs back through the finish looking worse than it did. On older Marietta slabs this is routine work, and we price it once we have seen it.

I weld and grind in my garage. Will sparks ruin the floor?

Brief sparks will not mark a fully cured system. If you weld regularly we would still put a welding mat under the work area, the same as you would over any finished floor. Sustained heat in one spot is the thing to keep off it, not the occasional shower off a cut-off wheel.

How soon can I park on it again?

Foot traffic the same evening in most cases, and vehicles after about seventy-two hours with a polyaspartic topcoat. The garage has to be clear for the grind and the coat, which is usually two days. Being ten minutes away means we can generally fit that around when you need the space back, rather than the other way round.

Garage Floor Coatings from a Marietta Shop

Being based in Marietta changes the job in small practical ways. We can come and look at a slab without building a week around the trip, we can drop samples off on the way past, and if anything needs a second visit we are not crossing the metro to make it. It also changes what you can see before you commit. Our own shop floor is the same system we would put in your garage, and it takes more punishment in a week than most home garages see in a year.

Systems We Put Down Across Cobb County

Marietta housing stock is mixed, and the slab decides which build makes sense. A 1970s garage floor has usually been painted at least once, carries a settlement crack or two, and needs that history taken off and filled before anything else happens. A newer East Cobb pour needs almost none of that, just a grind to open the surface up. Either way the coating lands on bare, profiled concrete, never over paint and never over an acid etch.

The build itself stays consistent: a pigmented epoxy base for thickness, a polyaspartic topcoat for hardness and UV stability. Where we vary it is the wear layer. A garage holding two cars and a mower does not need what a bay with a tool chest, a compressor, and a welding bench needs, and we would rather specify the heavier system only where it earns its place.

What Marietta Owners Get Out of a Coated Slab

You Can Stand on One First

Photographs flatten flake blends and they do nothing at all for metallic. Because we are in Marietta, you are welcome to come and look at a finished floor in person, under real light, and see how it wears before you settle on a color for your own garage.

Built for a Working Bay

Plenty of the Marietta garages we coat have a compressor, a bench, and a car that genuinely gets worked on. That floor meets fuel, solvent, brake cleaner, and things dropped from waist height. The system we specify for a working bay is chosen against exactly that, not against a slab that only ever parks a minivan.

Takes a 1970s Slab or a New One

Cobb County garages span fifty years of construction. Older slabs come with paint, patches, and settlement cracks. Newer ones come with a hard troweled finish and a curing compound over the top. Both are ordinary work to us. The preparation changes; the finished floor does not.

Local Means We Come Back

The hardest thing to get out of a contractor who drove an hour to reach you is a return visit. We are in Marietta. A second color sample, a question after the job is finished, or another look at something is a short trip for us rather than a favor you have to ask for.

Handles Heat and Sparks Better Than Paint

Grinder sparks, a dropped torch tip, or a hot exhaust part set down on the slab will mark a painted floor straight away. A fully cured epoxy and polyaspartic build is far more tolerant of brief heat, which counts for something in a garage where actual work gets done.

Resists What Comes Off the Vehicle

Oil, coolant, gear oil, and the road salt that comes home in January all sit on the surface of a sealed floor instead of soaking into it. On a slab that already carries forty years of staining, that is the difference between a floor you clean and a floor you simply put up with.

Coating Options for Marietta Garages and Shops

Want a garage floor contractor in Marietta who will actually walk the slab first? Being local means coming out costs us very little and tells us everything: how the concrete was finished, what has been spilled on it, whether moisture is moving through it, and what the preparation is genuinely going to take. The fixed price comes out of that visit. Three systems cover nearly every job we quote.

Solid Color Epoxy

The simplest of the three builds, and still a proper one: primed slab, pigmented base, clear topcoat. It is the most economical of the three and the fastest to install, and in a working Marietta shop it carries a practical advantage: a plain, light floor makes it obvious where something has leaked, which matters when finding the leak is the job. Bay markings and line work can be laid in at the same time.

Total layers 2-3
Total job time 1-2 days
Return to service as short as 2-4 hours of top coat for light traffic and heavy traffic 48-72 hours.

Epoxy Flake Floor System

The standard choice for Marietta garages, where the epoxy base coat takes a full vinyl flake broadcast, gets scraped back flat once it has cured, and is sealed under polyaspartic. Flake earns its keep in a working garage. It disguises tire marks and dust between cleans, it puts a genuine wear layer over the concrete, and the texture holds its grip when the floor is wet or when something has gone over on it.

Total layers 2-3.
Total job time: 1-2 days.
Return to service after 2-4 hours of top coat for light traffic and heavy traffic 48-72 hours.

Metallic Epoxy Floors

Mostly a residential choice, and the one that changes a garage the most. Metallic pigment is worked by hand through a clear resin, so the finish carries movement and depth and no two floors come out alike. In a Marietta garage that has been finished out as a gym or a hobby space, it stops looking like a garage floor entirely. The full garage floor coating service runs across Cobb County and the rest of Metro Atlanta, and because the shop is here in Marietta we can usually get out to look at a slab within a few days of the call.

Total layers 3-4.
Total job time ~3-4 days.
Return to service after 16 hours top coat for foot traffic. Light traffic for 2 days. Heavy traffic 2-5 days.

Why Marietta Calls Faust Flooring

We Are Actually Local: Our shop is in Marietta. Estimates, samples, and follow-up visits are a short drive rather than a scheduling problem, and there is no travel built into the price.

We Prep the Slab in Front of Us: A fifty-year-old Cobb County floor and a five-year-old one want completely different preparation. We price what yours actually needs after seeing it, instead of quoting an average and adjusting once the grinder is running.

We Specify for Real Use: If you work in the garage, the floor gets built for that. If it parks two cars and nothing else happens in there, it does not need to be, and we will tell you so. Either way, the system we agree on is the one that goes in writing.
