Our Story

Ascend Coatings LLC is a commercial, industrial, and residential floor contractor based in Wilmington, NC. Our services include epoxy floors, metallic finishes, concrete polishing, commercial and industrial striping, and suitable facility floor cleaning.

We believe property owners deserve a clear scope, careful preparation, and a finish selected for the way their floor is used. We discuss the concrete condition, project goals, and installation schedule before recommending the work.

A floor's performance depends on its substrate, preparation, materials, traffic, and maintenance. We approach each property individually instead of making the same lifespan or performance promise for every project.

That is not just a slogan. It is the principle behind our estimates and our work. We are a local, Wilmington-based business and our reputation in this community matters to us.

FAQ

Questions About Epoxy Flooring?

Get clear answers about preparation, durability, installation, and caring for your finished floor.

Is professional epoxy flooring better than a DIY garage floor epoxy kit?

For most homeowners looking for a long-term garage floor upgrade, a professional concrete coating system offers major advantages over a typical DIY epoxy kit.

DIY kits sold at home improvement stores are often designed to be easy for homeowners to install, but the coating itself is only part of what determines how long a floor lasts. Proper concrete preparation is one of the most important parts of the entire installation.

Professional installers typically mechanically grind the concrete to remove contaminants, weak surface material, old coatings, and imperfections while creating the proper surface profile for the coating to bond to.

A professional system may also include crack repair, industrial-grade base coats, a full decorative flake broadcast, and a durable clear topcoat.

DIY coatings may look good immediately after installation, but inadequate surface preparation can contribute to peeling, flaking, bubbling, or premature coating failure.

If you want your garage floor to become a long-term part of your home instead of a temporary cosmetic upgrade, professional installation is generally the better investment.

What is the best way to upgrade an old concrete garage floor?

One of the most popular ways to upgrade an old garage floor is with a professionally installed decorative flake concrete coating system.

The process typically begins by mechanically grinding the existing concrete. Cracks, pits, and damaged areas are repaired as needed before the coating system is installed.

A base coat is then applied, followed by decorative vinyl flakes that can completely cover the surface. Once the coating has cured enough for the next stage, excess flake is scraped and removed before a protective clear topcoat is installed.

The finished floor can dramatically change the appearance of the garage while making the surface easier to clean and maintain.

Instead of looking like unfinished gray concrete, the garage becomes a clean, finished extension of the home.

How long does a professionally installed epoxy garage floor last?

The lifespan of an epoxy or concrete coating system depends heavily on the quality of the materials, concrete preparation, installation method, environmental conditions, and how the floor is used.

A properly prepared and professionally installed coating can provide many years of service.

Heavy vehicle traffic, dragging sharp objects, extreme chemical exposure, moisture problems beneath the concrete, and poor installation can shorten the life of any coating.

One of the biggest differences between a long-lasting floor and a coating that begins peeling early is often what happened before the coating was ever applied.

Proper grinding, concrete repair, moisture evaluation when necessary, correct mixing, proper application rates, and using the right coating system for the environment all matter.
