Every concrete floor is different. Stone Canvas Design reviews the slab, the space, and the finish you want before recommending a coating, polish, grind and seal, or prep solution.
Find the Right Service
The right solution depends on the concrete you already have. Stone Canvas reviews the slab, use, condition, and finish goals before recommending the best next step.
A flake epoxy or coating system may be the right fit if you want a clean, durable surface for vehicles, tools, storage, road salt, and everyday use.

Explore Grind & SealWhich System Fits?
A quick reference to help match your project to the system that typically fits best. Every project starts with an assessment — this is a starting point, not a final recommendation.
Coating System
A durable, decorative coating applied over prepared concrete for garages, shops, and workspaces.
Polishing System
The concrete slab is mechanically refined and polished to create a finished, natural floor surface.
Sealed Concrete
The surface is ground and sealed for a clean, natural concrete look with practical protection.
Starting Point
Cracked slabs, failed coatings, or surface damage may need assessment and prep before any finish system can be recommended.
Core Services
These are the core services Stone Canvas Design provides for residential, shop, and commercial concrete floor projects.
Primary Service
Stone Canvas Design installs durable garage floor coating systems for garages, shops, basements, storage areas, and workspaces. These systems are designed around how the floor will actually be used, including vehicles, tools, traffic, cleaning, and Montana winter conditions.
Best for: Garages, shops, basements, storage areas, and workspaces.
Request Assessment
Primary Service
Concrete polishing can turn an existing concrete slab into a refined, low-maintenance finished floor. Stone Canvas Design offers different polish styles depending on the slab, desired look, and project goals.
Best for: Shops, showrooms, commercial spaces, modern interiors, and polished concrete floors.

Primary Service
A grind and seal floor is a practical concrete finish that grinds the surface and seals it for a clean, natural look. It can be a strong option when a full polished concrete system is not needed or when the project calls for a simpler sealed concrete finish.
Best for: Utility spaces, shops, basements, natural concrete finishes, and practical floor protection.
Request AssessmentPrep, Repair & Support
A floor system is only as good as the concrete underneath it. Surface preparation, repair, and correction work can affect how the final coating, polish, stain, or sealer performs.
Joints can affect the look and performance of the finished floor. Stone Canvas Design can assess whether joint repair or filling is appropriate before coating, polishing, or sealing.
Cracks should be evaluated before a floor system is installed. Repair needs depend on the slab, movement, moisture, finish goals, and whether the crack is cosmetic or structural in nature.
Patching and repair can help address damaged areas, spalling, surface defects, and prep issues before the final floor system is installed.
Grinding, cleaning, profiling, and old coating removal may be needed before coating, polishing, staining, sealing, or repair work can begin.
Burnishing and buffing can help maintain, refine, or improve certain concrete finishes depending on the floor system and condition.
Mild saw cutting may be available for select project needs depending on the scope, floor condition, and site requirements.
Decorative & Specialty
Some projects need more than a standard coating or polish. Stone Canvas Design may provide specialty concrete services depending on the slab, scope, and project goals.
Concrete staining can add color and character to certain concrete surfaces when the slab and project goals are a good fit.
Clean and seal services can help protect concrete surfaces with a simpler finish when a full coating or polished system is not needed.
A polishable overlay may be considered when the existing slab needs a new surface that can be finished and refined.
Self-leveling products may help correct certain floor conditions or prepare a surface for the right finish system, depending on the project.
Core drilling may be available for select project needs. Availability depends on the scope, site conditions, and equipment requirements.
Our Process
Before recommending a service, we look at the actual concrete and how the space will be used. That helps avoid choosing a floor system that looks good on paper but does not fit the slab, traffic, maintenance, or environment.
Slab age, surface texture, existing coatings, cracks, moisture, and prior damage all matter.
Cracks, joints, coating failure, moisture concerns, or surface damage may affect system selection.
Vehicles, equipment, foot traffic, chemicals, and cleaning methods all affect which system will hold up.
The right system fits both the look you want and the demands the floor will face.
You receive a specific recommendation based on the actual floor — not a generic price.
