Concrete done right.
Four flooring systems. One standard: done right the first time.
We specialize in four core coating systems, each selected for how it performs under the conditions it actually sees. Whether it’s a luxury garage, a working warehouse, or a sun-hammered patio in Pearland, the prep stays the same and the finish speaks for itself.
01
Metallic Epoxy
+
Showrooms, luxury garages, restaurants, retail. Every metallic install is unique, mirror-finished, and engineered for chemical, stain, and abrasion resistance. Metallic is unforgiving work: one piece of dust ruins a solid finish, which is why we stage the crew, the environment, and the timing together.

02
Flake & Solid Color Epoxy
+
Garages, basements, warehouses, auto shops, gyms, commercial kitchens. Flake systems hide tire marks, give you slip resistance, and shrug off dropped tools. Solid color works where you want a clean, flat, calm surface that still takes a beating.

03
Polished & Stained Concrete
+
Warehouses, retail, restaurants, offices, modern homes. Multi-step grinding and polishing produces a floor that lasts the life of the building. Stained concrete uses acid or water-based stains to pull a natural, organic color out of the slab you already have.

04
Exterior Concrete & Patios
+
Patios, pool decks, driveways, walkways. UV-stable, slip-resistant, and engineered to handle Texas freeze-thaw cycles without hairline cracking. We use the outdoor-rated chemistry, not a repurposed interior topcoat, because Texas concrete breathes and the sun doesn’t forgive shortcuts.

“Unless you’re standing there while we’re doing it, you’ll never see the part that actually matters. The prep. That’s where a floor lasts or fails. The fancy part is just the last 20% of the job.”
Justin Thurmon, Owner
A four-step process built around the 80% nobody sees.
Most of what makes a floor last happens before the first coat is even mixed. We work the sequence that every certified applicator learns and nobody skips: diamond grind, moisture test, broadcast, seal.
Grind & Prep
Diamond grinders remove oil, curing compound, and the weak top layer of the slab.
Moisture Test
Texas concrete breathes. We measure hydrostatic pressure before anything gets sealed down.
Coat & Broadcast
Base coat goes down fast-setting; flake, metallic, or pigment is broadcast live while it’s wet.
Top Seal & Cure
Commercial-grade topcoat. Foot traffic next day, full cure for vehicles in 72 hours.
Five-star work, from people who know the difference.
“Justin and the Elite crew did our 1,400 sq ft metallic garage and it’s hands down the nicest floor I’ve ever stood on. Prep took two full days. That’s the part every cheap quote skipped.”
“They actually tested moisture. No one else quoting us even mentioned it. Two years in and the floor looks like the day they left.”
“Used Elite for our showroom. They warned us about dust contamination risk, staged the install around store hours, and delivered a floor our customers literally photograph.”
“Got three quotes. Elite was the middle one. Picked them for the prep answer, not the price. Zero regrets.”
“Patio in Kemah, 300 sq ft stained and sealed. Handled the sun exposure and the salt air. Two seasons later it still beads water and hasn’t chalked up. Honest crew, honest conversation, honest invoice.”
“Commercial kitchen flake floor. Slip-rated, chemical-rated, and they worked overnight so we didn’t lose a service. That’s pro work.”

How much does an epoxy or concrete floor actually cost?
Flake and solid color epoxy start around $6/sq ft. Polished and stained concrete run about $5/sq ft. Metallic epoxy starts at roughly $10/sq ft. Commercial jobs carry a small premium. Every quote assumes proper diamond grinding, a real moisture barrier where needed, and a commercial-grade topcoat. A garage-floor kit from a big-box store is $1.50/sq ft and lasts 18 months; our floors are built to last a decade or more.
I got a quote for half your price. Why the difference?
Almost always: no diamond grinding, acid etch only, a thin DIY-tier topcoat, and no moisture barrier. That combination saves the installer a day of labor and $400 in diamond tooling, and hands you a floor that peels inside two summers. The line item isn’t the epoxy; it’s the prep. Ask us to walk you through a competitor’s quote and we’ll tell you exactly where the shortcut is.
Services
What’s the difference between all the floor types?
Metallic is the high-end artistic option, every floor is one of one. Flake (chip broadcast) is the workhorse for garages, gyms, and basements because it hides tire marks and gives you slip resistance. Solid color is for retail, offices, and light industrial where you want clean, durable, and calm. Polished concrete is the “life of the building” choice for warehouses, restaurants, and modern homes. Exterior concrete uses UV-stable outdoor chemistry and is engineered for freeze-thaw cycles.
Can’t I just do this myself?
Technically yes. Practically, the math gets ugly fast. A diamond grinder and HEPA vac rental runs about $700/day. Diamond tooling is another $400 and wears out. Epoxy has a pot life, once you mix it, it cooks on your timeline, not yours. Metallic is unforgiving: one piece of drywall dust lands on the wet coat and you’re re-coating. DIY makes sense for a 200 sq ft patio where a cosmetic failure is a shrug. It rarely makes sense for a garage or anything you actually look at.
Scope & Timeline
Do you do commercial jobs, or just residential?
Both, routinely. Commercial epoxy is half our calendar, restaurants, warehouses, retail, auto shops, and GC-coordinated new builds. We run night shifts, work around service hours, and scale the crew to square footage. If you need a floor done while your lease says you have to stay open, call us before you call the other guys.
How long does it take, and when can I use the floor?
Most residential jobs, garages, basements, patios, are 1-2 days on site. Light foot traffic is typically next day. Full cure for vehicles and heavy use is 72 hours. Commercial timelines depend on square footage and prep complexity; we’ll give you a concrete (pun intended) window in the written quote.
Warranty
How long will the floor actually last?
Done right, 10 to 20 years for epoxy systems. Polished concrete lasts the life of the building, we’re sealing and densifying the slab you already own. Our workmanship warranty says if something isn’t right, we come back and fix it. We don’t sell the marketing-fabricated “lifetime warranty” because the industry has no regulation and those promises vanish with the company that made them.
