Garage floors
In older central Austin garages the original slab is often stained or cracked. Newer homes usually need a bare floor finished.
Garage and patio floor coatings in Austin
Your Austin garage has been doing a lot of work on a bare slab.
Hiroma installs a layered polyurea and polyaspartic floor system on Austin garages, patios, pool decks, driveways and commercial floors. Many people call it epoxy flooring. Whatever you call it, we start by evaluating your slab, use non-acid preparation where it qualifies, and then build the coating system.

Austin homes, and the concrete under them
Austin is a city of contrasts, and the concrete shows it. In the central neighborhoods, older bungalows and mid-century homes sit next to new builds and remodels. The older garages often still have their original slab, some of them bare and unsealed for decades. The newer ones have smooth, builder-grade concrete that nobody has finished yet.
Farther out, much of southwest and northwest Austin is a wide band of homes built from the 1970s through the 2000s, with original garage and patio slabs that are now decades old. Head west toward the Hill Country and lots get bigger, pools and outdoor living areas get more common, and the land gets hilly.
What we look at in an Austin slab
Older slabs in central Austin
Original garage floors are often stained, pitted or cracked. We evaluate each one before recommending a system, so the plan fits what's actually there.
New builds
Newer homes usually need a bare builder-grade floor finished. Many sit on engineered post-tension slabs, so we check what's inside before any cutting or heavy preparation.
Shifting soil
Soil in parts of Central Texas can shift. Some hairline cracks can be repaired before coating. Cracks from ground movement are different, and a coating won't stop that.
Hill Country lots
Bigger lots, pools and long, sloped driveways mean patios, pool decks and driveways matter more as you head west. We look at drainage on each one.

Patios and outdoor spaces
Outdoor living is a big part of life here, and a bare patio slab can look unfinished next to a good yard.
Pool decks
Pools are common across west and northwest Austin, and older decks can look stained and patched.
Driveways
Driveways toward the Hill Country edge are often long and sloped, and they frame the whole front of the home.
Commercial floors
Warehouse and flex space, restaurants and breweries, offices and showrooms, planned around your schedule.
Commercial floors in Austin
Austin's business mix is broad, and each kind of space asks for something different. We lead with scheduling, a clean turnaround and preparation matched to each slab.
Newer tilt-wall warehouse and flex buildings are common in the northeast, the southeast near the airport and across Williamson County. We match the preparation to each slab and plan around your operations.
Austin has a deep restaurant, brewery and retail scene, and these businesses can't stay closed for long. We plan around your opening hours.
Offices, showrooms and tech-related light industrial space make up a large part of the local mix, and these customers usually want a finished, professional look with little disruption.

A few questions from Austin homeowners
Do older Austin garage floors need special preparation?
Often they need a closer look. A slab that has been around for decades can have cracks, stains, old paint or sealer, and moisture. We check each one, tell you what we find and explain the preparation your floor needs before we start.
Can I finish the bare floor in a newer home?
Yes. A bare builder-grade floor is a straightforward place to start. Many newer Central Texas homes sit on post-tension slabs, so we check the slab before any cutting or heavy preparation. Then we build the system, and you choose the flake blend.
Does a post-tension slab change how you prepare it?
It can. Post-tension slabs have steel cables tensioned inside the concrete, so we find out what is in your slab before any cutting or heavy preparation. Then we recommend a preparation that suits it and explain it before we start.
Will a coating fix cracks in my slab?
Some hairline cracks can be repaired before coating. Cracks caused by the ground moving are a different story, and a coating won't stop that movement. Soil in parts of Central Texas can shift, so we look at every crack and tell you honestly which kind you have.
Can you coat the deck around my pool?
Yes. Send photos of the deck and the area around it, and we'll come back with next steps.
Do I need my HOA's approval?
Rules vary by neighborhood, and some HOAs review exterior finishes such as driveways and patios. Check with yours before you start, and ask us about samples if you need to show them a finish.
Can you work around our restaurant or shop's opening hours?
Yes. Businesses can't close for long, so we plan each job around your schedule and confirm timing after we review your space.
