Can You Coat Over Garage Floor Epoxy or Paint? (Here’s Why You Shouldn’t)
United States – February 9, 2026 / DuraTex Concrete Coatings /
Old garage floor paint, DIY epoxy, and failing coatings must be removed before a new concrete coating system is installed. Applying a new layer over an existing coating leaves a weak foundation in place, and when that underlying layer loosens or fails, the fresh coating can peel off with it. The reliable approach starts with removal rather than stacking layers, because long-term performance depends on what the new system is bonded to.
The core requirement is a direct bond to the concrete slab. When the old coating is ground off and clean concrete is exposed, the new system can be installed as intended and hold up the way it should. During an estimate, DuraTex Concrete Coatings shows what is currently on the floor and explains the grinding required to remove it. This step is presented as a clarity-driven process: homeowners see the existing condition, understand what prep is needed before installation, and learn why surface preparation is the difference between a coating that lasts and one that peels.
DuraTex Concrete Coatings serves the Dallas–Fort Worth area and frames its work as building durable, attractive, low-maintenance concrete surfaces designed to last for decades in Texas weather. The company is part of the Penntek Dealer Network and is trained and certified to install polyurea and polyaspartic coating systems described as engineered for superior strength, UV resistance, and flexibility. These performance characteristics are positioned as important for year-after-year durability, especially in high-use spaces.
The coatings are not limited to garage floors; they are also installed on driveways, patios, and pool decks, extending the same direct-to-concrete bonding approach to multiple outdoor and indoor concrete surfaces. DuraTex’s stated mission is to deliver long-lasting coatings that stand up to tough conditions while improving the look and value of a property, paired with a seamless customer experience from the initial quote through the final walkthrough.
