Built for Sun and Water
Pool decks and patios have the opposite problem to a garage: less chemical abuse, far more sun and far more water. Ordinary epoxy is the wrong material outdoors because it chalks and yellows under UV. Our polyaspartic topcoat is 100% UV-stable, so a deck we coat looks the same in five summers as it did in the first.
Safety is the other half. We can add extra anti-slip aggregate into the clear coat for anywhere that gets wet underfoot, and the finish stays noticeably cooler than dark or bare concrete in direct sun.
- 100% UV-stable, will not yellow or chalk
- Extra anti-slip aggregate available
- Cooler underfoot than bare or dark concrete
- Resists pool chemicals and freeze-thaw
- Covers stained, tired or patched concrete
- Suits pool surrounds, patios, porches and walkways
A good fit for a pool surround, patio or porch in Indianapolis that is stained, slippery, too hot to walk on, or simply looks tired.
What Makes GatorGuard's 4-Layer System Different?
GatorGuard's system is engineered to address every common point of failure in concrete coatings, resulting in a permanent solution backed by a lifetime warranty. It's an investment in your home's value and functionality, not just a temporary floor covering.
We don't sell a simple epoxy floor. We install a hybrid epoxy polyaspartic system designed for the demanding climate of the Midwest.
Moisture Mitigating Epoxy (MME)
This is our secret weapon. After diamond grinding, we apply this specialized epoxy that penetrates deep into the concrete and creates a permanent barrier against moisture vapor transmission, the #1 cause of coating failures.
Base Color Coat
We apply a thick, pigmented epoxy layer that forms the core strength and color foundation of your floor.
Decorative Flake Layer
We broadcast decorative vinyl flakes to the point of rejection, meaning the entire surface is covered. This creates the beautiful, granite-like appearance and adds texture and impact resistance.
Polyaspartic Clear Coat
To seal it all in, we apply our 100% UV-stable, scratch- and chemical-resistant polyaspartic topcoat. This provides a durable, easy-to-clean finish that will never yellow or stain.
The Result: A Permanent Floor
This hybrid epoxy and polyaspartic system is engineered to last 20+ years, compared to just 1-3 years for a DIY epoxy kit. Every installation is backed by our Lifetime Warranty.
Plus, we handle everything with our white-glove service, including carefully moving your items out and back in. We also offer flexible financing options to make the investment manageable.
Fast Installation: Most Floors Finished in Two Days
Every GatorGuard floor in Indianapolis is installed by our own highly-trained, in-house installers. We do not subcontract the work out, so the people who quote your job are the people who do it and the people who warranty it.
- Before
Free in-home estimate
We measure the floor, inspect the concrete for cracks and moisture, and show you the flake and color samples. You get a written, no-obligation quote on the spot. No charge and no pressure.
- Day 1
Grind, repair, prime and color
Our crew moves your belongings out, diamond grinds the slab down to clean concrete, repairs cracks and pitting, then applies the moisture-mitigating epoxy and the pigmented base coat with decorative flake broadcast to rejection.
- Day 2
Buff, seal and final walkthrough
We buff the excess flake back to a smooth surface and apply the UV-stable polyaspartic clear coat. Then we walk the finished floor with you before we leave.
- After
Walk on it in 24 hours, park on it in 72
Polyaspartic cures much faster than epoxy. You can walk on the floor 24 hours after the final coat, we come back at 48 hours to move your belongings in, and you can park on it at 72. The floor is covered by our lifetime warranty from day one.
Low-VOC and low-odor materials
Our materials are low-VOC and low-odor (where applicable), posing no more harm than the smell of a new car or new carpet, which minimizes any lingering chemical smell much faster during the curing process.

Honestly: it depends on your floor, and anyone quoting you a price over the phone without seeing it is guessing. What we can tell you is exactly what drives the number, so you know what you are being quoted on before anyone comes out.
Square footage
A one-car garage, a three-car garage and a full basement are very different jobs. Size is the single biggest factor in your quote.
The condition of your concrete
Cracks, pitting, spalling, old failing epoxy or previous sealer all have to be dealt with before we coat. A slab in good shape costs less to prepare than one that needs repair.
What has to come up first
Old epoxy paint, sealer, carpet glue, tile or vinyl. We remove any existing floor covering as part of the job, and how much there is to take up affects the time it takes.
The finish you choose
Full decorative flake, a solid color, or a metallic finish each price differently. You pick from the samples during your in-home estimate.
Why it costs more than a DIY epoxy kit
A big-box epoxy kit is cheap because it is one thin coat of paint over an acid-etched slab. It typically peels within one to three years, and stripping a failed coating costs more than doing it properly the first time. Our price includes diamond grinding, our GatorShield moisture-mitigating base coat on every floor, four engineered layers, our own trained crews, and a lifetime warranty.
Low monthly payments and affordable payment options
You do not have to pay for the whole project up front. We offer flexible financing with payments as low as $45 a month, plus 0% financing options, so the cost fits a monthly budget instead of a lump sum.

Looking for an Epoxy Floor Company Near You in Indianapolis?
GatorGuard of Indianapolis is a local concrete coating company, not a national call center routing your job to whoever bids lowest. We are based at 4343 Saguaro Trail, Indianapolis, IN 46268, and every installation is done by GatorGuard's own trained employees. We never use third-party contractors.
Most people who search for epoxy companies or concrete coating companies near me end up looking at national franchises that sell the lead on, or at a crew that etches and rolls one thin coat. Whether you are comparing floor coating companies, epoxy installers or concrete floor coating contractors, ask any garage flooring contractor near you two questions before you sign: do you diamond grind, and what do you do about moisture in the slab. Our answers are on this page.
Indiana road salt and repeated freeze-thaw cycles work salt and water down into untreated garage slabs, which is what lifts a coating off the concrete.

Patio & Pool Deck Coating Questions, Answered
What Indianapolis homeowners ask us most often before they book an estimate.
How much does a pool deck or patio coating cost?
It depends on the size of the area, the condition of the concrete, what has to come up first, and the finish you choose. We measure in person and give you a written quote for free, and financing is available with payments as low as $45 a month.
Is a coated pool deck slippery?
The decorative flake gives the surface texture, and we can add extra anti-slip aggregate to the clear coat for pool decks, patios, entryways and anywhere that gets wet.
Will the coating yellow in the sun?
Ordinary epoxy chalks and yellows under UV, which is why it is the wrong material outdoors. Our polyaspartic topcoat is 100% UV-stable, so a deck we coat looks the same in five summers as it did in the first.
Is it cooler underfoot?
The finish stays noticeably cooler than dark or bare concrete in direct sun.
Does my concrete need to be in good shape first?
Not necessarily. Cracks, pitting, spalling and old failing coatings are normal and we repair them as part of the installation. We will tell you honestly during the estimate if your slab has a structural problem that a coating cannot fix.
How long does installation take?
Most jobs are completed in two days. Day one is diamond grinding, any concrete repair, the moisture-mitigating epoxy and the base color coat with flake. Day two is buffing the flake back and applying the polyaspartic clear coat. You can walk on it after 24 hours.
What does the lifetime warranty actually cover?
Peeling, delamination and bond failure. Because we install with our own employees rather than subcontractors, there is one company standing behind the floor, and we are still here to honor it.
Will it smell, and is it safe around my family?
Our materials are low-VOC and low-odor (where applicable) compared with traditional solvent-based epoxy. What you notice while the floor cures poses no more harm than the smell of a new car or new carpet, and it clears much faster than a solvent-based system does. In warmer months it can take a little longer to fade.
