What Specialty Concrete Coating Options Do You Offer?
At Black Hills Concrete Specialties, we offer a range of specialty concrete coatings designed to enhance the durability, safety, and appearance of your space. Whether you need a high-performance surface for a garage, showroom, retail space, or outdoor area, our coatings are built to last and tailored to meet the specific demands of your project.
Every coating system starts with professional surface preparation, typically involving mechanical grinding to ensure strong adhesion and long-term performance. From there, we apply a custom-selected system that may include one of the following options:
- Sand Broadcast Coating: This industrial-strength system uses clean, fully broadcast silica sand over a specially engineered water-based epoxy primer. It is applied over a properly ground surface and finished with a protective topcoat that can be tinted in nearly any color. The result is a durable, slip-resistant finish that works well indoors and outdoors with minimal odor and low VOC content.
- Quartz Broadcast Coating: A decorative version of the sand broadcast system, this coating uses colored quartz instead of silica sand to create a vibrant, textured finish. It provides the same level of strength and chemical resistance while offering more color options for visually appealing spaces.
- Color Flake Broadcast Coating: This system incorporates decorative color flakes into the same broadcast process, creating a dynamic, multi-tone appearance. With hundreds of color blends available and all materials in stock, it is a popular choice for garages, shops, and commercial settings where both aesthetics and performance matter.
- Self-Leveling Floors: For concrete surfaces that are damaged, uneven, or out of level, we offer self-leveling underlayments. After grinding or shot-blasting, a primer is applied, followed by a specially formulated self-leveling cement. This creates a new, smooth surface that can be sealed or coated with any of our decorative systems, providing a fresh foundation for long-lasting results.
- Epoxy Pool Painting: We also provide high-build epoxy coatings for new or existing pools and spas. After cleaning or sandblasting the surface, we apply two coats of commercial-grade pool epoxy, resulting in a smooth, durable finish that stands up to water, chemicals, and sun exposure.
In addition to the systems listed above, other options may be available by request. If you have a unique need or specific performance requirement, we are always happy to review the details and offer expert guidance on the best approach.
Benefits of Our Specialty Concrete Coatings
Our concrete coatings do more than protect. They upgrade your space with lasting durability, improved safety, and customized visual appeal. Whether used in a residential garage or a high-traffic commercial space, our systems are designed to perform and look great over time.
Built for Strength and Resistance
Every coating we install creates a strong surface that stands up to vehicle traffic, forklift use, spills, and exposure to chemicals. This makes our systems an excellent fit for garages, shops, warehouses, retail environments, and patios where toughness and reliability are essential.
Decorative and Functional Finishes
We offer a wide range of specialty coating finishes including color flake, quartz, and sand broadcast systems. Color flake provides a layered, multi-tone appearance that is both eye-catching and durable. Quartz and sand options enhance surface texture and traction, which is especially useful in areas where slip resistance matters. Each system is tailored to the use and design of your space with all materials in stock for faster turnaround.
Easy to Clean and Maintain
Our coatings are low in VOCs, virtually odor free, and formulated to resist peeling, fading, or yellowing. This means your surface stays cleaner and lasts longer with minimal maintenance. Regular cleaning is simple and efficient, keeping your coated concrete looking fresh year after year without the need for frequent repairs or touch-ups.

Our Specialty Concrete Coatings Process
At Black Hills Concrete Specialties, we believe a high-performance concrete coating starts well before the first layer is applied. Every project begins with a thorough evaluation and mechanical surface preparation, ensuring the concrete is ready to bond with the selected system. This step is essential for long-term durability and a smooth, professional finish.
We begin by grinding the surface to remove old coatings, stains, oils, or surface imperfections. This process opens the concrete’s pores, creating the ideal surface profile for strong adhesion. Depending on the condition of the concrete, we may also use pressure washing or shot blasting to ensure every square foot is clean and ready.
Once prepped, we inspect the surface for cracks, chips, or areas that need repair. Addressing these issues before coating not only improves appearance but also prevents future damage. We use high-quality repair materials and proven techniques to restore stability and uniformity.
With the surface ready, we choose the best coating system for your specific needs. Whether you are looking for a textured, slip-resistant floor in a commercial setting or a decorative finish for a garage or patio, we have in-stock options including sand broadcast, quartz, color flake, self-leveling underlayments, and more.
Application is performed using professional techniques such as rolling, squeegeeing, or spraying to ensure an even, consistent layer. We take great care to avoid thin spots or pooling, delivering a uniform surface that is as functional as it is attractive.
After curing, the surface is ready for use. Most systems cure quickly, minimizing downtime and allowing you to enjoy a durable, easy-to-clean finish that holds up to foot traffic, vehicles, and seasonal weather conditions. Our process is designed to deliver lasting value, high-end results, and confidence that your concrete is protected for years to come.

How Much Do Concrete Coatings Cost?

What types of concrete surfaces can be coated?
Floors, patios, garages, warehouses, and many commercial and residential surfaces can benefit from coatings.
How are concrete floor coatings different from sealers?
Coatings form a thick protective layer on top of the concrete, while sealers penetrate and protect within the surface.

Yes, we offer exterior concrete coatings designed to resist UV damage, weather, and wear.
How long does the coating application process take?
Most projects take 1-3 days depending on surface size and prep needs.
Are your coatings slip-resistant?
We offer slip-resistant finishes like quartz or sand broadcast for safety on patios and commercial floors.
Do coatings yellow or fade over time?
Our polyurethane coatings resist yellowing and UV damage better than many epoxy alternatives.
Can I use my coated floor immediately after installation?
Typically, coatings cure within 24-48 hours before light use is recommended.
How do I maintain my concrete coatings?
Routine cleaning with mild detergents keeps coatings looking fresh without damage.
