On-site visits within 48 hours
Evanston's mix of historic homes, modern condos and vibrant commercial districts means concrete floors face a wide range of conditions — from lakefront moisture and road salt to heavy foot traffic in retail spaces and parking garages.
Our Northbrook headquarters is just 20 minutes north, giving Evanston clients fast access to scheduling and service. We bring full diamond-grinding prep, premium coating systems and the same workmanship we've delivered on over 1,000 Chicagoland projects.
Residential garages, basements, commercial spaces and outdoor surfaces — every one diamond-ground.
Evanston's dense residential blocks near downtown and along Chicago Avenue mean garages take a beating from street salt and tight parking. Our garage floor coatings start with diamond grinding, crack repair and joint filling. We apply a primer, a high-build color coat with broadcast decorative flakes, and a polyaspartic topcoat — engineered for road salt, hot tires and the freeze-thaw cycles Evanston homeowners deal with every winter.
Victorian-era and early 20th-century Evanston homes often have stone or poured-concrete foundations that allow moisture to seep through below-grade floors. Our basement floor coatings seal raw concrete into a clean, stain-resistant surface — ideal for rec rooms, home gyms and workshops. We use a moisture-mitigating primer for below-grade slabs, with solid color, metallic or decorative flake topcoat options.
From Central Street bungalows to lakefront properties along Sheridan Road, Evanston patios face Lake Michigan wind and freeze-thaw cycles year-round. Our outdoor patio coatings use UV-stable polyaspartic resins that resist yellowing and cracking from Chicago's lakefront climate. We diamond-grind, repair cracks and apply a textured, slip-resistant finish that protects against freeze-thaw damage.
Evanston properties near the lakefront and in south Evanston enjoy long summer seasons that put pool decks to the test. Our pool deck coatings provide a textured, slip-resistant surface that stays cooler underfoot and resists chlorine, salt and pool chemicals. Applied over diamond-ground concrete for a long-lasting bond around pool aprons and wet zones.
From the shops along Davis Street and Central Street to Northwestern University-area businesses, Evanston's commercial spaces see constant foot traffic. We install high-performance epoxy and urethane systems in warehouses, parking structures, retail spaces and salons across Evanston and the North Shore business districts. Same diamond-grinding prep as residential — we can phase installation around business hours to minimize downtime.

Had our basement done with a metallic epoxy finish and it looks like something out of a magazine. The crew was meticulous with the prep work and the result is absolutely flawless. Highly recommend CSC.
Basement Floor CoatingThese guys transformed our old, cracked garage floor into something beautiful. The flake coating is tough and looks great even after months of salt and snow. Very happy with the whole experience.
Garage Floor CoatingWe had our front walkway and back patio coated last fall. The textured finish is perfect — great traction even when wet and it really elevated our curb appeal. Professional crew, great communication throughout.

Quality results require quality process — here's what every project includes.
We visit your property, evaluate the concrete condition, discuss how you use the space, and provide a detailed written quote — straightforward pricing with no hidden costs.
Our crew diamond-grinds the entire surface to open concrete pores and ensure proper adhesion. This mechanical prep is what sets a professional installation apart from a DIY coating kit.
All cracks, joints and spalled areas are filled and leveled so the coating goes on smooth and the finished floor looks flawless.
We apply the selected system — base coat, decorative flakes or color, and a protective polyaspartic or polyurea topcoat designed for the conditions your floor will face.
We inspect the finished floor with you, go over recommended cure times, and share easy maintenance tips to keep your coating performing at its best.
