How It Works

Our simple, three-step process guarantees results that will last for years.

Our 6-Step Concrete Coating Install Process

  • Step 1: Preparation

    Shot blasting and/or diamond grinding.

    Minimized dust via grinders connected to vacuum systems that utilize HEPA filters.

  • Step 2: Concrete Reconstruction

    Penntek menders and fillers are used to fix pits and cracks before the process begins.

  • Step 3: Basecoat

    Penntek‘s 100% solids, self–priming pure polyurea basecoat are mixed and applied.

  • Step 4: Broadcasting the Chip

    Immediately after the basecoat application, the chips are generously broadcast by hand, providing both color and texture to the floor.

  • Step 5: Scraping the Chip

    Once the basecoat is fully cured the floor is scraped and vacuumed to remove any loose or vertical standing flakes.

  • Step 6: Clear Coat

    The final step is to roll out the UV-stable polyaspartic clear coat.

Everyone wants a garage floor that can withstand daily wear and tear. Cracks, chips, and peeling coatings not only make a garage look neglected but also compromise its functionality. That’s why Steve Holloway Painting uses a precise six-step process and the industry-leading Penntek polyurea coating system to deliver garage floors that are four times stronger than epoxy and backed by a 15-year residential warranty. Here’s how our process guarantees a durable and beautiful finish. Step 1: Preparation Proper preparation lays the groundwork for a lasting floor. We use shot blasting or diamond grinding to create a smooth surface that ensures maximum adhesion. To minimize dust and protect your home, we connect our grinders to vacuum systems equipped with HEPA filters. Skipping this essential step can lead to coatings that peel or fail prematurely. We take every precaution to ensure the floor is ready for the next stages. Step 2: Concrete Reconstruction We restore damaged concrete to ensure a solid and even foundation. Using Penntek menders and fillers, we repair cracks, pits, and imperfections before moving forward. Ignoring these issues can result in expanding cracks and compromised coatings. By addressing damage upfront, we reinforce the floor’s integrity and prepare it for the next steps. Step 3: Basecoat Application The basecoat creates the backbone of the coating system. We apply Penntek’s 100% solids, self-priming pure polyurea basecoat, which offers unmatched durability and flexibility. Unlike traditional epoxy, polyurea resists chipping, peeling, and cracking, even under heavy use. A high-quality basecoat ensures a strong bond to the surface, making the coating last for years to come. Step 4: Broadcasting the Chip After applying the basecoat, we broadcast decorative chips across the floor by hand. These chips add both texture and visual appeal while creating a non-slip surface. With a wide range of colors and patterns, this step allows you to personalize your garage floor to match your style. Without proper broadcasting, the floor may appear uneven or fail to provide adequate traction. Step 5: Scraping the Chip We scrape and vacuum the floor to remove any loose or vertical flakes once the basecoat cures. This step ensures a smooth and even finish that feels comfortable underfoot. Skipping this phase leaves the floor rough and prone to wear, but our thorough process delivers a polished, professional look. Step 6: Clear Coat Application The final step seals and protects the entire floor. We apply a UV-stable polyaspartic clear coat that resists fading, staining, and wear from daily use. This clear coat enhances durability and makes the floor easy to clean and maintain. Unlike coatings that yellow or degrade over time, our clear coat stays glossy and strong for years. This final layer locks in the design and provides long-lasting protection. Why Our Process Stands Out At Steve Holloway Painting, we know homeowners in Tulare and Kern County want results they can trust. Our six-step process ensures your garage floor not only looks great but also lasts. Poorly installed coatings can peel, crack, or fail under pressure, leaving you with additional repair costs and frustration. Our attention to detail and use of high-quality materials eliminate these risks, giving you a garage floor that performs as promised. What Happens if You Don’t Choose the Right Solution? Failing to address garage floor damage properly can lead to costly repairs and ongoing maintenance headaches. Cracks grow over time, peeling coatings expose your floor to further wear, and neglected surfaces make your garage less functional. Choosing the wrong company or attempting a DIY solution often results in subpar results that don’t last. When you hire Steve Holloway Painting, you gain peace of mind knowing your floor is in expert hands. As the only certified Penntek dealer in Tulare and Kern County, we bring unmatched expertise and proven results to every project. Start the New Year with a Garage Floor That Works Your garage floor is more than just a surface—it’s a key part of your home’s functionality and appearance. With our six-step process and one-day installation for two-car garages, you’ll have a floor that stands up to daily use and looks great doing it.  Contact Steve Holloway Painting today to schedule your garage floor coating project. Start the year with a durable, stylish floor that you can be proud of for years to come.

Location : Bakersfield, CA Client Request : Art Room Floor Coating Time to Complete : One Day Installers : Steve Halloway Painting When you think of a school art room, you might picture colorful projects, creative chaos, and lots of foot traffic. What you probably don’t think about is the beating the floor takes every day. That’s exactly the challenge Steve Halloway Painting tackled in Bakersfield, CA, when we were called in to give a school’s art room floor a much-needed makeover. The original floor had seen better days—scratched, stained, and simply worn out from years of paint splatters, moving furniture, and bustling students. The school needed a fresh, durable floor that could stand up to the daily grind of young artists while still looking great. The Request: Durable Meets Stylish This wasn’t just a quick fix. The school wanted a floor that would look polished and professional while withstanding heavy use from students of all ages. They also needed something that could handle messy art projects and constant cleaning. In short, the floor had to be tough, easy to maintain, and still bring a bright, inviting vibe to the room. How We Got It Done The best part? We completed this transformation in just one day! Here’s how we made it happen: 1. Surface Prep We started by prepping the floor to perfection. Proper preparation is key to a long-lasting floor coating. We cleaned the surface thoroughly, removed old finishes, and made sure everything was smooth and ready to go. 2. The Coating Once the floor was prepped, we applied a high-performance coating designed to handle heavy use. This coating resists scratches, stains, and wear, so it’s ready for years of art projects, chair scuffles, and the occasional glitter spill. 3. The Finish Finally, we topped it off with a polished finish that not only looked great but also added a slip-resistant texture for safety. It’s the perfect balance of functionality and style—just what the school needed. The Result: A Room Ready for Anything The transformation was immediate. The refreshed floor brightened the art room, making it a more inviting space for students to unleash their creativity. Teachers loved how easy the surface was to clean, and the school staff appreciated its durability. Now, the floor is a feature that livens the entire space. It’s ready to handle everything from messy art days to years of wear and tear without losing its fresh, vibrant look. Why Floors Matter in Creative Spaces An art room is a hub of imagination and learning. Having a floor that supports that environment is essential. A durable, low-maintenance, and attractive surface helps keep the focus on what matters: fostering creativity in a safe and functional space. Why Customers Choose Steve Halloway Painting Our team at Steve Halloway Painting knows how to install durable floors that are. Whether it’s a classroom, office, or home, we believe a great floor is the foundation of a great space. We bring years of experience, high-quality materials, and a commitment to getting the job done right—on time and with results that last. Could your space use a refresh, too? Let us help!

Project Overview Project Location: Bakersfield, CA Client’s Request: Pool Deck Concrete Coating Products Used: Concrete Coating, Smoke Evolution Color Project Scope: Elevate the pool deck and replace old and cracked concrete coating Time to Complete: One Day Transforming a Bakersfield Pool Deck : A Day of Concrete Coating The Bakersfield homeowner had a clear vision for their pool deck: a fresh, inviting space that would complement their outdoor living area. The existing concrete coating was showing signs of wear and tear, with cracks and fading color. They knew it was time for a complete overhaul. Steve Holloway Painters was the perfect choice for this project. With years of experience in concrete coating, our team had the expertise to deliver exceptional results. The project was scheduled to take place over a single day, ensuring minimal disruption to the homeowner's routine. The Preparation Process The first step involved thorough preparation of the pool deck surface. Our team began by cleaning the area to remove dirt, debris, and any loose or flaking coating. This was essential to ensure that the new coating would adhere properly and provide long-lasting durability. Next, we conducted a careful inspection of the concrete surface. Any areas with significant damage, such as cracks or spalling, were repaired using specialized techniques. This step was crucial to prevent future problems and ensure the longevity of the new coating. Once the surface was prepared, we applied a primer. This primer acts as a bonding agent between the old concrete and the new coating, enhancing adhesion and preventing peeling or blistering. The Coating Application The main event of the day was the application of the concrete coating. We used a high-quality product designed specifically for outdoor use, ensuring durability and resistance to weathering. The coating was applied in multiple coats, allowing each layer to dry and cure before applying the next. To achieve the desired color, we used Smoke Evolution Color. This product offers a wide range of options, allowing homeowners to choose the perfect shade to match their personal style and complement their outdoor decor.
