389 Square Feet, Two Stairs, One Day: A Redmond Garage in Silver Creek

A 389.5 sq ft Redmond garage with a raised landing and two stairs was crack repaired and coated in Silver Creek flake polyurea in one day.

The numbers on this one are easy to share. 389.5 square feet of garage floor. Two stairs. 21 feet of vertical edge. One day. In September 2026 a Redmond homeowner had Cascade's crew coat the whole garage, plus the raised landing by the house door where the water heater sits, in Certified Penntek polyurea with Silver Creek flake.

Before that, the slab was stained, worn and covered in a fine web of hairline cracks, and the walls still showed fresh drywall patches. It was a working garage that needed a real floor. This page walks through how a garage floor coating in Redmond comes together, using the actual readings from install day.

What the June consult showed

The free consultation was in June 2026. Two moisture readings came in at 4.2% and 3.8%. A scratch test checked the hardness of the surface and showed the crazing, a network of shallow surface cracks that is common on older garage slabs. The concrete was rated in Fair condition.

There was also a layout question. The door to the house sits up on a landing with the water heater on it, reached by two steps. Those surfaces had to be part of the plan so the whole garage would match.

Install day by the numbers

The Penntek warranty job card for this floor records the conditions on September 10, 2026:

  • Total area: 389.5 square feet, plus 21 feet of verticals and 2 stairs
  • Slab temperature: 67°F
  • Moisture: 4.4%
  • Air temperature: 69°F, humidity 66%, dew point 57°F
  • Color: Silver Creek, 1/4 inch flake

Slab temperature, moisture and dew point all affect install day, which is why we log them on every job and register the warranty with Penntek.

How the crew did it

  1. Industrial diamond grind of the floor, then vacuum.
  2. Penntek Mender crack repair on the cracks that needed it.
  3. Pure polyurea basecoat, over 99% solids, on the floor, the stair landing and a strip up the wall base.
  4. Full broadcast of 1/4 inch Silver Creek flake.
  5. Scrape, collect, then a polyaspartic topcoat with FadeLock™ UV stability.

Silver Creek in a working garage

Silver Creek Evolution is a grey, white and tan blend with a bit of warmth. In this garage it pairs with the wood door and the beige walls, and it keeps tire marks and dust low key. The 1/4 inch flake gives full coverage and a light texture underfoot.

A warranty that doesn't depend on one installer

Every Penntek floor carries a limited lifetime warranty backed by Penntek, the manufacturer, not just the company that installed it. Penntek has dealers in 200 markets, so the floor can be serviced for the long haul. That's a big difference from installer-only warranties that disappear when a business does. Our post on what a Certified Penntek dealer is explains how it works.

The floor itself is built for it. The basecoat bonds chemically at over 1,300 PSI and stays flexible through freeze-thaw. Watch the Penntek Hammer Test to see the impact side.

Garage floors in Redmond

Redmond's long wet season puts water, grit and road film on garage floors for months at a time. A sealed floor with a non-porous topcoat makes that a quick cleanup. See our epoxy garage floor alternative in Redmond, or look at a larger Redmond garage done in Pebble Beach.

Warranty and install-day FAQ

What gets recorded when a Penntek floor warranty is registered?

The installer records the area coated, square footage, concrete condition, color, flake size, slab and air temperature, moisture, humidity and the product lot numbers. That record goes to Penntek with the warranty.

Is the warranty backed by the installer or the manufacturer?

The limited lifetime warranty is backed by Penntek, the manufacturer. With dealers in 200 markets, the floor can be serviced even if any one installer is gone.

Can you coat a raised landing and stairs inside the garage?

Yes. On this job the landing by the house door and its two stairs got the same Silver Creek finish as the floor.
