A Lynnwood Garage With Built-In Cabinets Gets Warm Fieldstone Flake

An older Lynnwood garage with cream built-ins, an old slab patch and a 5.2% moisture reading got a Fieldstone flake polyurea floor in 2026.

Fieldstone flake polyurea garage floor with cream built-in cabinets in Lynnwood

Some garages were built with care decades ago. This Lynnwood garage has a full wall of cream built-in cabinets with open cubbies underneath, more cabinets along the side, and a slab that had seen a lot of years. Old patches, a repaired control joint, stains and a dull grey surface made the room feel older than it needed to.

Cascade's crew installed a garage floor coating in Lynnwood with Certified Penntek polyurea in Fieldstone flake. The warm tan blend picks up the tone of the cabinets, and the whole garage now looks like one finished room instead of nice cabinets on tired concrete.

What the consult found

The free consultation was in October 2025. The moisture meter read 5.2%. We also looked closely at an old concrete patch where someone had repaired the slab along a control joint years ago, plus a scattering of smaller cracks and worn spots.

Old patches are worth a second look. They are usually a different mix than the original slab, and they can sit a little high or low. Grinding evens them out so the coating has one flat, open surface to bond to. Our post on why coatings peel in Northwest garages explains why that prep matters so much here.

A careful, multi-day install

This job ran over several days in January 2026 rather than one, which gave each step room:

  1. Industrial diamond grinding across the floor, around the cabinet bases and the old patch. Then vacuum.
  2. Penntek Mender crack repair, with the filled cracks showing as white lines across the ground slab.
  3. Pure polyurea basecoat, over 99% solids, bonded chemically to the concrete.
  4. Full broadcast of Fieldstone flake, edge to edge, plus a strip up the wall base.
  5. Scrape, collect and seal with a polyaspartic topcoat that carries FadeLock™ UV stability.

The crew returned in September 2026 for a second phase, with a fresh moisture reading of 4.4% before grinding started.

Fieldstone with cream cabinets

Fieldstone Enviroflake is a warm mix of tan, brown, cream and grey chips. Next to cream cabinetry it feels natural and calm, almost like the floor came with the house. It's also a practical color. Sawdust, dried mud and the odd leaf disappear into it.

Why it will outlast a typical epoxy floor

Typical epoxy is rigid, and in our wet climate it often starts to show problems in years 3–5. The Penntek basecoat is flexible, so it moves with the slab, old patches and all. Bond strength tests at over 1,300 PSI. Before the coating comes up, the concrete will come up.

The topcoat is non-porous and easy to clean. It stands up to oil, road salt and hot tires, and FadeLock™ keeps the color from yellowing near the open door. You can watch the Penntek Stretch Test to see the flexibility in action.

Garage floors in Lynnwood

Lynnwood sits in south Snohomish County, and like the rest of the area it gets long, wet winters. Cars bring in water and grit for months, and bare concrete soaks it up. A sealed floor wipes clean. We serve Lynnwood from our home base in Woodinville. See our garage floor coatings in nearby Edmonds for more on how we work in this part of the county, or look at the Lynnwood swim school floor we coated. If you're new to town, the City of Lynnwood site is a handy starting point.

Lynnwood garage FAQ

Can you coat over an old concrete patch in my garage?

Yes. The crew grinds the patch and the slab around it level, repairs any cracks, and then coats the whole floor. Full flake coverage hides the difference between old and new concrete.

Can you coat around built-in cabinets?

Yes. Fixed cabinets stay in place, and the crew grinds and coats tight to their bases. Only loose items and cars need to come out.

Why would an install take more than one day?

Most garages are done in one day. Some jobs are split up to fit the slab, the weather or the homeowner's schedule, and the crew will lay that out before work starts.
