The Last Step of a Redmond Garage Remodel Was a Domino Flake Floor

After framing, drywall and paint, this Redmond garage slab was ground clean and coated in high-contrast Domino flake polyurea in one October day.

Garage remodels have an order. Framing, wiring, insulation, drywall, paint. The floor goes last, after every trade with a ladder and a bucket of mud has packed up. This Redmond garage followed that order exactly. In July 2025 the walls were open studs. By mid-October they were smooth and white, and the slab was the only thing left looking like a construction site.

That's when Cascade's crew came in. In October 2025 they ground the slab and coated it in Certified Penntek polyurea with Domino flake, all in one day. It's a garage floor coating in Redmond that finishes the remodel instead of fighting it.

What the slab looked like

At the July consultation a car was still parked inside and the walls were bare framing. The crew took moisture readings around the garage, including along the walls and into a corner where water tends to collect. Readings ranged from 3.4% to about 4.4%.

By install day the concrete had picked up everything a remodel leaves behind. Drywall dust, mud splatter, paint drips, dark stains and a few cracks running across the floor. There's also a wood support post in the middle of the space, which every step of the coating had to work around.

One day, from mud splatter to flake

  1. Industrial diamond grinding took the splatter, stains and weak surface off the slab. Then a full vacuum.
  2. Cracks were repaired before any coating went down.
  3. Pure polyurea basecoat, over 99% solids, chemically bonded to the concrete.
  4. Full broadcast of Domino flake, edge to edge and around the post.
  5. Scrape and collect, then a polyaspartic topcoat with FadeLock™ UV stability.

The crew also coated small vertical returns at the door jambs, so the finish wraps the corners instead of stopping at a ragged edge.

Why Domino works with fresh white walls

Domino Evolution is a bold one. Black, charcoal, grey and white chips in a high-contrast mix. With crisp white walls and a natural wood post it gives the room a clean, graphic look. It also hides a lot. The busy pattern swallows dust, small debris and the occasional scuff.

Why we install polyurea, not epoxy

People search for an epoxy garage floor. What we install is Certified Penntek polyurea, and the difference shows up years later. Typical epoxy is rigid and often fails in years 3–5, especially over a slab with cracks. The Penntek basecoat is flexible and moves with the concrete. Bond strength tests at over 1,300 PSI. Before the coating comes up, the concrete will come up.

The floor carries a limited lifetime warranty backed by Penntek, and it is built to last 30–40 years. Our post on how long a Penntek floor lasts breaks down why.

Remodeling a garage in Redmond

A finished garage in Redmond gets used hard. Wet cars for months, bikes and gear, maybe a workbench or gym later. Coating the floor last means none of the remodel mess ends up sealed into it.

Garage remodel FAQ

When in a remodel should the garage floor be coated?

Last. Let the framers, electricians, drywall and painters finish first. Diamond grinding removes their mess, and nothing new lands on the fresh coating.

Is a black and white flake like Domino hard to keep clean?

No. The high-contrast pattern hides dust and small debris better than a solid or a very light blend. The non-porous topcoat lets spills wipe up.

Can you coat around a wood post in the middle of the garage?

Yes. The crew grinds and coats tight to the base of the post. The flake runs right up to it, so there's no bare ring of concrete.
