Experienced Epoxy Flooring Company Serving All of Toronto, ON

Toronto is a big city with a lot of different concrete conditions. The Don River runs through the east, the Humber River shapes the west, and Lake Ontario lines the entire southern edge. All of that moisture finds its way into the ground and eventually into floors that are not properly protected.

We provide professional epoxy flooring services in Toronto for every property type. We coat garages in Scarborough, prep older basements in East York, restore restaurant floors along Queen Street, and protect warehouse slabs near Weston and Downsview. Every floor is assessed on site and matched to the slab, the traffic, and how the space is actually used.

Our shop is located in North York, with direct access to Highway 401 and Highway 400. That connects us to every part of the city. The crew that inspects your concrete is the same crew that coats it. No handoffs and no subcontractors. Book a free on-site assessment and get a clear written quote.

Whats Our Clients Says

Professional Epoxy and Concrete Floor Services We Provide Across Toronto

Epoxy Garage Floor Coating

Winter in Toronto means salt, sand, and slush tracked into the garage every single day. Bare concrete absorbs it all and starts to break down under freeze-thaw pressure. Our team tests for moisture, grinds the surface, and applies a durable epoxy garage floor coating that resists hot tire pickup, chemical spills, and seasonal wear. Garages across North York and Scarborough stay clean and sealed year after year.

Residential Epoxy Flooring

Post-war basements in East York and older homes near the Danforth deal with moisture, cracking, and decades of untreated concrete. A residential epoxy floor coating seals the slab, blocks moisture from below, and creates a surface that cleans up fast. The result is a finished floor that looks clean and holds up through daily family life across the city.

Commercial Epoxy Flooring

Restaurants along Queen Street, retail shops in the Junction, and professional offices near Yonge and Eglinton deal with foot traffic, spills, and daily cleaning that bare concrete cannot handle. Our team installs commercial epoxy flooring matched to each space’s traffic volume, slip-resistance needs, and sanitation requirements. Local businesses get a floor that performs without needing a long closure.

Industrial Epoxy Flooring

Warehouses near Highway 401, service bays in Weston, and distribution facilities around Downsview need floors built for heavy equipment, chemical exposure, and constant movement. GLI Epoxy Flooring installs industrial epoxy flooring with chemical-resistant coatings designed for logistics, manufacturing, and high-demand operations across the western industrial corridors.

Concrete Crack Repair

Fifty-five freeze-thaw cycles each year take a toll on slabs across Toronto. Moisture from the Don River valley and Humber River watershed adds hydrostatic pressure from below. Our team maps every crack and patches it structurally before any coating goes down. Professional concrete crack repair prevents early coating failure and protects the finished floor from damage showing through.

Concrete Floor Restoration

Aging slabs with spalling, dusting, and uneven patches are unsafe and very difficult to coat properly. Concrete floor restoration starts with a full slab assessment. Grinding, patching, and leveling bring the surface back to a solid condition. Older homes in Parkdale, High Park, and Leslieville often need this step before any system will bond to the concrete.

Concrete Grinding and Surface Preparation

Old paint, sealers, and surface laitance prevent proper adhesion between concrete and epoxy. Delamination and peeling follow within months if this step is skipped. Our team provides concrete grinding and surface preparation on every project to strip contaminants and build the bond profile that epoxy needs. Every slab gets this step before any coating goes down.

Diamond Polishing

Stained, worn concrete gets harder to maintain with each passing year. Condo lobbies in the Financial District, retail spaces in Liberty Village, and office buildings near Yonge and Eglinton choose diamond polishing for a clean, modern look with low upkeep. Our concrete polishing team grinds, densifies, and seals the slab to a high-gloss finish that will not chip, crack, or peel over time.

Invest in a Floor That Works as Hard as Your Property

Concrete problems grow worse with every season. Cracks spread. Moisture builds. Coatings fail when the prep work is rushed. GLI Epoxy Flooring takes the time to assess, prep, and coat every slab the right way. One crew handles your project from start to finish. Call us or fill out the form to get started.

Floor Coating Systems for Toronto Homes and Businesses

Flake Epoxy

We recommend flake epoxy for most garage and basement jobs. Vinyl chips broadcast into wet epoxy create a slip-resistant, textured finish that hides minor slab flaws. A UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat seals the system against salt, tire marks, and seasonal moisture. Most two-car garages are completed in a single day.

Metallic Epoxy

We install metallic epoxy for homeowners in Rosedale, Forest Hill, and across the city. Metallic pigments swirled through the coating produce a unique, seamless finish with every pour. Basements, home gyms, and entertainment rooms get a stain-proof surface with visual depth that standard coatings cannot match.

Opaque Epoxy

Our team applies opaque epoxy in single-color formulations for commercial garages, workshops, and warehouse floors. This system delivers chemical resistance, easy cleaning, and a uniform look at a lower cost. Facilities along the Highway 401 corridor and in the Weston area choose opaque where function matters more than finish.

Quartz Epoxy

Quartz epoxy embeds coloured granules into an epoxy base to create a dense, textured surface for heavy-use areas. Restaurant kitchens along Bloor Street, medical offices, and high-traffic retail spaces choose quartz for slip resistance and chemical durability. It is a strong pick for commercial floors that face water, grease, and constant foot traffic.

How Toronto's Three Waterways Shape the Concrete Beneath Your Floor

Most people think of road salt and cold weather when they picture concrete damage. But in Toronto, what happens beneath the slab matters just as much as what lands on top.

The Don River runs through the eastern half of the city. Moisture from its valley reaches basements and garage slabs in Riverdale, Leslieville, and the Danforth area. On the west side, the Humber River carries water through Etobicoke, Weston, and the Junction. Lake Ontario pushes humidity into waterfront properties along the Beaches, Mimico, and the Harbourfront.

Each of these waterways creates a different moisture pattern beneath the concrete. That is why a proper moisture test and the right vapor-blocking primer matter so much. A floor coating installed without understanding the moisture source beneath it will not last. Our team checks every property for these conditions before recommending a system.

Why Toronto Property Owners Trust GLI Epoxy Flooring

We work with homeowners, business operators, and facility managers across the city who need more than a surface-level coating. Every project starts with what is happening beneath the slab. We look at concrete condition, traffic demands, and how the space needs to perform once the work is done.

Based in North York and Built for This City

The company was founded in 2019 and operates from the M9L area in North York. Our team brings decades of combined trade experience to concrete repair, surface prep, and floor coating. We sit close to Highway 401 and Highway 400, giving us fast access to every part of town.

Coating Systems Selected for Real Conditions

Flake, metallic, opaque, and quartz systems each serve a different look and performance need. Canadian-made products are selected based on slab condition and how the space is used. Qualifying installations are backed by a warranty lasting up to 10 years.

Trained for Concrete Across Six Former Cities

Toronto was formed in 1998 from six former cities. Each area has its own concrete history. Post-war slabs in East York and York behave differently than newer pours in North York or condo foundations downtown. We understand these differences and prep each floor accordingly.

Warranty-Backed Installation Options

Qualifying flooring systems include warranty protection lasting up to ten years. Product selection, preparation, installation, and care requirements are explained clearly so you understand the work completed and the coverage that comes with your floor.

How GLI Prepares and Coats Concrete Floors in Toronto

Property Visit and Concrete Evaluation

Every project begins with a visit to your property. We check for cracks, spalling, old coatings, and overall slab health. This evaluation tells us what prep is needed and which coating system suits the space and how it is used each day.

Slab Moisture Assessment

We use calcium chloride or relative-humidity testing to check for trapped moisture beneath the slab. Properties near the Don River or Lake Ontario face different risks than those further inland. A vapor-blocking primer goes down first when moisture levels sit above safe limits.

Surface Grinding and Contaminant Removal

Our crew grinds each slab to strip away old paint, sealers, adhesive residue, and laitance. This exposes a clean, profiled surface and creates the mechanical bond that epoxy needs for lasting adhesion on concrete of any age or condition across the city.

Structural Crack and Spall Repair

Cracks are routed, filled with structural polyurea, and leveled flush with the surrounding concrete. Spalled areas and divots are patched with polymer-modified compound. This keeps damage from showing through the finished coating after application.

Coating System Application

Base coat, broadcast layer, and topcoat go down per the specification chosen during evaluation. We use a two-coat base with a polyaspartic topcoat for UV stability and chemical resistance. Our crew monitors temperature and humidity conditions throughout the full process.

Cure Timeline and Project Handover

Light foot traffic is possible within 24 hours of application. Vehicles stay off for at least 72 hours. Full chemical cure takes roughly 7 days. We provide a written cure schedule, so you know exactly when each area of the floor returns to full daily service.

About Toronto, Ontario

Toronto became one city in 1998 when six former municipalities joined together. Old Toronto, North York, Scarborough, Etobicoke, East York, and York each brought their own infrastructure, building stock, and concrete conditions into one city boundary. That history still shows in the floors beneath homes, businesses, and industrial buildings today.

Post-war slabs poured in the 1950s and 1960s across East York and Don Mills have spent decades absorbing freeze-thaw stress and road salt. Newer condo foundations downtown and in Liberty Village face moisture pressure from Lake Ontario and dense urban runoff. Industrial floors near Highway 401 and Weston carry forklift loads and chemical exposure that residential coatings were never designed to handle.

At GLI Epoxy Flooring, our team is based in North York and coats floors across all six former cities. We prep garages in Scarborough, restore basements in East York, seal restaurant floors along Queen Street, and protect warehouse slabs near Downsview. Every project is matched to the concrete, the conditions beneath it, and the way the space works each day.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does epoxy flooring cost in Toronto?

Epoxy flooring runs from $6 to $12 to $12 per square foot. It depends on the system type. Flake sits at the lower end. Metallic and quartz cost more. Total price also depends on slab condition. Cracks, moisture, and old coatings all add prep work. Get a written quote based on your specific floor before comparing.

What is the best garage floor coating in Toronto?

Flake epoxy with a polyaspartic topcoat handles salt, tire traffic, and temperature swings across the seasons. Metallic suits homeowners wanting a premium look. Quartz is a strong pick for commercial garages with heavy loads. The right system depends on your garage use, slab condition, and moisture exposure.

Can you coat a post-war basement floor in Toronto?

Yes, after moisture testing and surface prep. Post-war epoxy basement slabs across East York, York, and Don Mills often have unknown sealers, paint, or adhesive buried under decades of use. Diamond grinding must remove all of it. A blocking primer goes down first when testing shows high moisture from below.

Does GLI Epoxy Flooring handle urgent concrete repair in Toronto?

Yes. We prioritize urgent concrete repair for safety hazards, crumbling slabs, and failed coatings across the city. A site visit, assessment, and written scope are delivered within 48 hours for emergency cases. Residential and commercial properties receive the same response priority.

How long does epoxy floor installation take in Toronto?

Most residential jobs take one to two days. Commercial and industrial projects run two to five days depending on slab size and prep needs. Full chemical cure takes seven days. Vehicles must stay off the coated surface for at least 72 hours after the final topcoat.

Why do garage floors crack and peel across Toronto?

Peeling usually comes from skipped moisture testing, acid etching instead of proper grinding, or DIY kits on old concrete. The Don River and Humber River valleys push moisture upward through clay soil. Proper surface prep and a vapor-blocking primer before coating prevent the delamination that ruins most garage floors.

Is epoxy flooring a good choice for a Toronto warehouse?

Yes. Warehouse epoxy flooring near Highway 401, Weston, and Downsview protects against that resist forklift traffic, chemical spills, and pallet loads. Epoxy protects the slab, cuts dust, and makes daily cleaning simple. It is one of the most practical investments a facility manager can make.

Can epoxy be installed in a Toronto condo parking garage?

Yes, with condo board approval and proper scheduling. We provide insurance certificates, project timelines, and low-VOC system options for board review. Underground parking, visitor areas, and storage rooms are common projects. High-rise buildings downtown and along the waterfront often need phased installation to keep sections open during the work.

How do Toronto's waterways affect concrete slabs?

The Don River, Humber River, and Lake Ontario each push moisture into the soil from different directions. Properties near these waterways face higher moisture levels beneath the slab. That is why proper testing and a vapor-blocking primer are part of every project near a waterway. Skipping this step leads to coating failure within months.

What areas of Toronto does GLI Epoxy Flooring serve?

We serve all six former cities of Toronto, including Old Toronto, North York, Scarborough, Etobicoke, East York, and York. Residential garages, commercial floors, industrial facilities, and condo common areas across every postal code fall within our range. Our shop has fast access to the entire city via Highway 401 and Highway 400.
