Polyurea Concrete Coatings in Mid-Michigan

Freedom Concrete Coatings is a family-owned, veteran-owned company based in Okemos, Michigan. It specializes in applying polyurea concrete coatings for residential and commercial surfaces, serving Mid-Michigan communities such as Haslett, Williamston, Mason, and Jackson. The company presents itself as an alternative to traditional epoxy, with a commercial coating system that, according to its description, bonds directly to concrete and resists peeling, stains, and wear.

Coating System and Advantages Over Epoxy

The system the company offers is based on a pure polyurea base coat, a broadcast of color flakes for texture, and a UV-stable aliphatic polyurea (polyaspartic) topcoat. The company states that this system is more durable than epoxy, does not yellow or fade, is highly flexible and impact-resistant, and can be installed in as little as one day in many cases, although time varies depending on the size and condition of the floor. The company indicates that its coatings are designed to resist salt, oil, and gasoline, and that they come with a limited lifetime warranty.

Coating Services

The company applies coatings to a variety of surfaces:

• Garage floors: durable finishes that resist stains, spills, and wear.
• Driveways: surfaces strengthened and sealed against weather and daily use.
• Patios: coatings for added strength, easy cleaning, and protection against Michigan weather.
• Pool decks: resurfacing for safety, slip resistance, and a refreshed look.
• Porches, sidewalks, and more: entryways, walkways, and outdoor concrete restored and protected.
• Basement floors: coatings for durability, moisture resistance, and brighter spaces.
• Commercial floors: protection for high traffic and a clean appearance.
• Industrial epoxy coatings: heavy-duty finishes for demanding conditions.

Installation Process

The installation process described by the company consists of several stages. It begins with a free consultation and quote, followed by site preparation with protection of nearby areas and dust control. Then industrial diamond grinding is performed to open the concrete pores and remove old coatings. Cracks and surface damage are repaired with industrial-strength materials, and the polyurea base coat is applied. While it is still wet, the chosen color flakes are broadcast and scraped and vacuumed for a uniform finish. Finally, the UV-stable aliphatic polyurea topcoat is applied, and a final walkthrough is conducted with the customer to ensure satisfaction.

Pricing and Financing

The company publishes indicative price ranges for garages: a one-car garage (approximately 200–400 square feet) between $3,000 and $4,000; a two-car garage (400–600 square feet) between $4,000 and $6,000; and a three-car garage (600–1,000 square feet) between $6,000 and $9,800. These prices include materials, preparation, labor, and a lifetime warranty. The company clarifies that every project is different and that a precise quote is provided with no hidden costs. It also offers 0% interest financing for up to 24 months, subject to approval.

Team and Background

The company is led by its owner, Chris, who maintains personal involvement in projects and leads a trained crew. The company describes itself as a small, veteran-owned business with a focus on craftsmanship, clear communication, and respect for the customer's home. The company also mentions its community involvement, supporting local charities and veterans' groups. For those seeking employment, it indicates that it is open to talking with people transitioning out of the military and offers a team-oriented work environment, with daily lunches and a pet-friendly shop.
