Garage floors
Older garages start with an evaluation of stains, cracks and any previous coating, then a plan that fits.
Garage and pool deck coatings in San Marcos
San Marcos floor coatings for slabs that have already lived a little.
San Marcos is a river town and a college town on I-35, with established homes, plenty of rentals and long outdoor seasons. Hiroma installs a layered polyurea and polyaspartic floor system on garages, pool decks, patios, driveways and shop floors. Every project starts with an honest look at the concrete you already have.
Include a close-up of any cracks, stains or old coating with your photos.
San Marcos homes, and the concrete under them
Many San Marcos homes have been around a while, and their slabs show it. Garage floors carry years of oil spots and tire marks, and some have been painted or sealed at some point, which changes how we prepare them. Patios and pool decks may have been patched more than once. None of that rules a floor out, but it does mean we look carefully first.
The city also has a large share of rental homes, partly because of the university. Owners and managers often deal with turnovers on a fixed calendar, and a garage or patio that is worn down can make a property feel tired between tenants. If you are working around a lease date, send your photos and the date, and we will tell you what is realistic.
Outdoor life is a big part of living here, from backyard pools to covered patios. And some homeowners use the garage or a detached building as a shop, where tools, rolling carts and spills ask more of a floor than parked cars do.
What we look at in a San Marcos slab
Old paint, sealer or coatings
Whether an existing coating can stay depends on what it is and how well it is bonded. We prefer not to grind at all, and if grinding is necessary we explain why before we start.
Cracks and settlement
Some hairline cracks can be repaired before coating. Cracks from ground movement or settlement are different, and a coating will not stop that movement. We explain what can be addressed and when further assessment is needed.
Pool decks and runoff
We look at the deck's age, patches, old coatings and how water drains away from the pool before recommending anything.
Shop and workspace use
Tools, rolling equipment and spills put different demands on a floor. Tell us how you use the space so we can plan the preparation around it.
Floor coatings for San Marcos garages, pool decks and more
Pool decks
Decks that have been patched or stained over the years can be finished once we know what is underneath.
Patios and outdoor spaces
Covered patios and walkways get a lot of use here. A coating finishes the slab you spend your evenings on.
Driveways
Established driveways often carry years of staining. We look at the surface and drainage before suggesting a finish.
For rental owners and home shops
If you own or manage rentals, the useful questions are usually timing and access. Send photos, the address and the window between tenants. We will review the slab, explain the preparation it needs and confirm when the space will be unavailable, so you can plan the turnover around it.
If your garage doubles as a workshop, tell us what happens on the floor: welding, woodworking, engine work or simply heavy storage. We match the preparation to the slab and the way it is used, and we are upfront when a floor needs more work than you expected.

Questions from San Marcos homeowners and owners
My older garage floor was painted years ago. Can it be coated?
Often, yes. Whether old paint or sealer can stay depends on the coating and how well it is bonded. We inspect your slab to confirm the preparation it needs, and if grinding is necessary, we explain why before we start.
Can you work between tenants on a rental property?
Tell us the turnover window when you send photos. We confirm timing after reviewing the slab, and we will let you know honestly whether the window fits your floor and the system.
What should I know before coating an older pool deck?
Older decks can have cracks, patches, stains or old coatings that need attention first. We also look at drainage around the pool. Send photos and we will talk through your options.
Will a coating fix the cracks in my slab?
Some hairline cracks can be repaired before coating. Cracks caused by the ground moving or settling are a different story, and a coating will not stop that movement. We look at every crack and tell you which kind you have.
I use my garage as a workshop. Is that a problem?
Not necessarily. Tell us how you use the space, including tools, rolling equipment and what tends to spill, and we will plan the preparation around the slab and how you work.
Do you coat patios and driveways too, or only garages?
We coat garages, patios, walkways, pool decks and driveways, and we evaluate each slab before recommending a system.
