Fifty minutes south on I-5 and 99W. We make the trip, and we make it count by doing Sherwood jobs in batches.
Free In-Home EstimateSherwood is the longest drive on our list, about 50 minutes each way, and we are upfront about how that works. We group estimates into one afternoon run and try to line up a pair of installs in one week so the crew and the trailer stay south. It does not cost you more. It does mean the install date is usually two to three weeks out, and that if a neighbor in Woodhaven or Sunset Ridge wants a floor too, we can do both together.
What we find in Sherwood garages splits cleanly. Old Town has 1900s houses with detached garages on thin, old, patched slabs. The 1990s to 2020s subdivisions around Cedar Creek, Middleton, and Brookman have modern 2 and 3-car slabs, and a surprising number of them already have a DIY coating from the last decade that has started to peel. Different prep, same finished floor.
The DIY coatings we grind off in Sherwood subdivisions failed for the usual reasons: acid etch instead of grinding, a thin water-based epoxy, and a clear coat that softened under summer tires. Our floor is the opposite on all three points. Diamond-ground or shot-blasted profile, 100% solids epoxy base at many times the thickness, and a polyaspartic topcoat built to take hot tires along with spilled oil and gas. Full flake broadcast in between. Thirty to 40 mils, warranted for 5 years on workmanship.
Sherwood sits at the edge of wine country and runs a little drier than Portland in summer, which is good for cure. Winter is another story: the Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge keeps fog thick over town for days, and slabs near the refuge read damp on the moisture meter. Old Town slabs with no vapor barrier read dampest. When that number is high, a mitigating primer goes down ahead of the base coat.

Hot-tire pickup resistant. Chemical and impact rated.
Old Town Sherwood near Stella Olsen Park has the small detached garages: thin concrete, cracks, patches, old paint, and no vapor barrier under any of it. Those get polyurea in the cracks, loose patches cut out and refilled, a full grind, and a moisture test. The subdivisions from Sunset Ridge to Brookman have builder slabs that are sound and often coated with a failing kit, which the grinder removes. The fog off the refuge is the climate factor from November to February; dry summers keep cure on its normal schedule. Fifty minutes down I-5 and 99W means every Sherwood install is two full days on site.

Every slab is different, so we price each floor after a free in-person inspection. The 50-minute drive is not billed. Slab condition, old coatings, cracks, moisture and size are what move the price, and exact pricing comes after that inspection, with a written quote.
Inside the coating
Every floor starts with a properly prepared slab and is built up one layer at a time, each with a specific job.
For concrete floors
No, but we schedule it deliberately. Estimates are grouped into one south-side run and installs are booked as two full days. If another homeowner nearby wants a floor the same week, that helps everyone, but a single garage is fine. There is no distance surcharge.
All of it. A partially bonded coating cannot be coated over; it becomes the weakest layer under the new floor. We take every bit off by diamond grinding or dustless shot blasting, picked for the space, which also pulls up tire marks and oil. It adds a few hours to day one and is included in the quote.
If it is stable, yes. Thin old slabs that have stopped moving take a coating after crack repair and grinding, and the flake hides the patchwork. We test moisture because there is no vapor barrier. The rare slab that breaks up under the grinder is not a candidate, and we would say so.
It affects the slab before we coat it, by keeping the ground and the concrete damp through winter. That shows up as a higher moisture reading, and a high reading means a mitigating primer goes on first. After the floor is sealed under epoxy and polyaspartic, fog is irrelevant.
Late spring through early fall cures fastest, since Sherwood summers are a little drier than Portland. We install year-round, though; winter just means a midday topcoat and possibly a few extra days past the usual week before you park.
