Floor Coatings in New Orleans
We apply floor coatings in New Orleans garages, carports, shops and commercial kitchens and match the coating to the slab and to the place it goes. Every slab gets a moisture test before any coating goes on.

Which floor coatings fit which spaces in New Orleans?
This page is for owners comparing coatings for a garage, carport, warehouse or restaurant floor. It covers which coating suits which space, how the main coating types differ, how a coating job runs here and what changes the price.
Start with where the floor is and what it faces: sun, water, chemicals or traffic.
Indoor garages and workshops
For a garage, ask about a flake system over an epoxy base. See our flake flooring page for how it looks.
Carports, porches and patios in the sun
Sherwin-Williams describes the finish coat in a resinous floor as typically made from resins with greater chemical or UV resistance. Outdoors, that finish coat choice matters most.
Commercial kitchens and restrooms
Sherwin-Williams notes that smooth resinous or epoxy floors can become slippery when wet, and that texture is added for skid resistance. See our page on restaurant and cafe flooring.
Parking areas and warehouses
Traffic lanes, turning areas and loading zones need a coating chosen for wear and for the chemicals that drip from vehicles. Our parking garage flooring page covers those spaces.
Straight epoxy floors
If you already know you want epoxy, our epoxy flooring installation page goes deeper.

Epoxy, polyaspartic, polyurea and other coatings
Sherwin-Williams lists resinous flooring as epoxy plus methyl methacrylate (MMA), polyaspartic, polyester, polyurethane and vinyl ester products, and says each chemistry has its pros and cons. Here's how we think about them.
Epoxy
Sherwin-Williams says epoxy resins are typically very hard and can scratch fairly easily, so epoxy can get a different finish coat on top.
Polyaspartic and polyurea
Other coatings we compare with epoxy at the estimate.
Polyurethane and MMA
Also part of the resinous family, chosen case by case.
Vinyl ester
Sherwin-Williams gives it the highest chemical resistance but says it doesn't offer a desirable look, so it suits heavy chemical areas.
Clear sealers
Another option we can talk through at the estimate.

How it works
How a coating job runs in New Orleans
Most of the work happens before any coating is mixed.
- 01
Test the slab
The Department of Energy classes Orleans Parish as hot-humid (climate zone 2A), so slab moisture gets checked on every job here. Sherwin-Williams calls moisture vapor emission very problematic for most resinous floors, and ASTM's F2170 standard notes that excess slab moisture can cause debonding and microbial growth under coatings, so we test before choosing a system.
- 02
Grind and repair
According to Sherwin-Williams, the number one reason coatings fail is a lack of surface preparation or the wrong kind. The slab is ground or shotblasted, and cracks are repaired.
- 03
Base coat, color and finish coat
The base coat goes on, then flake or color if you chose it, then the finish coat matched to the space.
- 04
Texture for rain and spills
Carports, entries and kitchen floors get texture worked into the finish for skid resistance.
What affects the cost?
Every coating job is priced after we test and look at the slab. These are the things that move the number.
- Slab condition Cracks, old coatings and oil stains add prep time.
- Moisture mitigation A slab that tests high needs a moisture fix first.
- System and number of coats A clear sealer and a full flake system are very different jobs.
- Indoor or outdoor Sun-exposed floors need the right finish coat.

FAQ
Common Questions About Floor Coatings
Talk to an Expert about Floor Coatings.

What are the different types of floor coatings?
Sherwin-Williams lists epoxy plus MMA, polyaspartic, polyester, polyurethane and vinyl ester, each with pros and cons. Clear sealers are another option.
Which coating handles humidity and sun on a carport?
Start with a moisture test on the slab, then choose a finish coat made for UV exposure and add texture for wet days.
