Garage flooring in New Orleans: what we install
This page is for homeowners, property managers and parking operators. It covers the coatings we install and what a garage floor has to handle, then why the slab gets tested before anything goes down.
Garage work is coating work: a resin system bonded to the existing concrete.
Epoxy coatings
FEMA's flood guidance rates formed-in-place epoxy flooring as acceptable for areas that can flood. Our epoxy flooring installation page walks through the job.
Flake systems
A flake floor has colored chips broadcast into the wet coating. See flake flooring for the options.
Urethane and traffic coatings for parking decks
For commercial garages and multi-level decks, we install urethane and traffic coating systems chosen for both vehicle and pedestrian traffic.
Built for New Orleans
What does a garage floor have to handle?
Vehicles and people share the same slab, wet or dry.
Oil, fuel and hot tires
Ask for the coating's chemical and hot-tire resistance on its data sheet, and match it to how the garage is used.
Slip resistance when wet
Sherwin-Williams' epoxy guide notes that smooth resinous floors can become slippery when wet, and that texture is added for skid resistance. The 2010 ADA Standards require floor surfaces to be stable, firm and slip resistant, and OSHA requires walking surfaces to be kept free of hazards such as leaks and spills.
Striping and accessible spaces
The ADA Standards require 98 inches of vertical clearance at van parking spaces and the routes serving them, access aisles level with the spaces they serve, and aisles marked to discourage parking. Restriping after a coating is the time to check all of it.

How it works
Rain, humidity and slab moisture in New Orleans garages
In this city, the main thing a garage floor fights is water.
- 01
Why the slab gets tested first
The Department of Energy classes Orleans Parish as hot-humid (climate zone 2A). ASTM's slab humidity standard (F2170) says excess slab moisture can cause coatings to debond and deteriorate, and that manufacturers generally require moisture testing before install. Sherwin-Williams calls missing or poor surface preparation the number one reason coatings fail.
- 02
Ground-level garages and standing water
NASA notes that about 70% of New Orleans sits below sea level, and National Weather Service records show even the driest year on record at the New Orleans airport logged 38.88 inches of rain. Plan a ground-level garage floor for water from day one.
- 03
Washing down a coated floor
Plan drains and slope so wash water leaves the floor, and ask for the coating's cleaning instructions at handover.
How a garage coating job runs
Here's the sequence for a typical garage or deck coating, and the points to settle in the estimate.
Moisture test and inspection
We test the slab and mark cracks and old coatings.
Grind and repair
Sherwin-Williams' guide calls for grinding or shotblasting the surface to create a profile for the coating. See our floor coatings page.
Coats and cure
Return-to-traffic times come from the system's data sheet, so get them before you plan closures.
Phasing a commercial garage
Agree which levels or bays close at a time, and how drivers are rerouted.

FAQ
Common Questions About Parking Garages
Talk to an Expert about Parking Garages.
What garage flooring makes sense in a humid city like New Orleans?
A resin coating over a slab that has passed a moisture test. ASTM's slab humidity standard says excess slab moisture can cause coatings to debond, and manufacturers generally require a test before install.
Can a parking garage stay open while the floor is coated?
Often, if it's coated in sections. Agree which levels or bays close at a time, and get return-to-traffic times from the coating's data sheet before you plan closures.
What happens to a coated garage floor after a flood?
FEMA's flood guidance rates formed-in-place epoxy flooring as acceptable for areas that can flood. Clean the floor and let the space dry once the water is gone.
