Our Services
Coatings for Distinguished Properties
Estate garages, basements, outdoor living spaces and commercial facilities — all diamond-ground and sealed.
Garage Floor Coatings
Lake Forest's prestigious homes — from lakefront estates east of Sheridan Road to the tree-lined streets near Market Square — deserve garage floors that match the standard set above. 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 North Shore homeowners deal with every winter.
- Handles Lake Forest road salt, hot tires and oil without damage
- Bonds through North Shore freeze-thaw cycles without delamination
- Flake blends and finish textures suited to Lake Forest estates
- Most Lake Forest garages completed in a single day
Basement Floor Coatings
Expansive lower levels are a hallmark of Lake Forest residences, and a coated basement floor turns unused square footage into elegant living space. 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.
- Moisture-barrier primer for Lake Forest's below-grade basements
- Creates a stain-proof, dust-free surface
- Solid color, metallic and flake finishes for Lake Forest homes
- Low-VOC formula — safe for Lake Forest households
Patio & Walkway Coatings
Whether it's a stone-bordered terrace overlooking Lake Michigan or a garden walkway winding through a ravine lot, Lake Forest patios demand coatings that perform and impress. Our outdoor patio coatings use UV-stable polyaspartic resins that resist yellowing and cracking from Chicago's North Shore climate. We diamond-grind, repair cracks and apply a textured, slip-resistant finish that protects against freeze-thaw damage.
- UV-stable — resists yellowing from sun exposure
- Slip-resistant texture for wet and icy conditions
- Repairs cracks, spalling and surface pitting
- Works on patios, walkways, steps and side entries
Pool Deck Coatings
Lake Forest estates frequently feature resort-style pools that call for a deck finish as refined as the home itself. 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.
- Cooler underfoot than exposed concrete in Lake Forest summers
- Stands up to chlorine, salt water and pool chemicals
- Non-slip texture for safe barefoot walking around pools
- Colors to complement Lake Forest estate landscaping
Commercial & Industrial Coatings
From boutique shops near Market Square to medical offices along Western Avenue, Lake Forest businesses expect flooring that reflects their brand. We install high-performance epoxy and urethane systems in warehouses, parking structures, retail spaces and salons across Lake Forest and the North Shore. Same diamond-grinding prep as residential — we can phase installation around business hours to minimize downtime.
- Engineered for heavy traffic in Lake Forest commercial and retail spaces
- Resists chemicals, oil and daily wear
- Safety striping and zone markings for Lake Forest facilities
- Phased installation around Lake Forest business schedules

We had the entire three-car garage coated to match the aesthetic of our home near the lakefront. The crew was meticulous during prep and the flake finish they recommended complements our stone exterior perfectly. Extremely pleased with how polished the final result looks.

Our lower level had persistent moisture issues and bare gray concrete that felt unwelcoming. CSC tested the slab, applied a moisture-mitigating primer and finished with a warm metallic epoxy. The basement is now our favorite entertaining space — guests always comment on the floor.

We had the pool deck and surrounding patio coated before opening the pool for summer. The textured finish is slip-resistant but still comfortable to walk on barefoot, and the color blends beautifully with our bluestone coping. Concrete Shield was thorough, respectful of our property and finished on schedule.
