Summer Garage Coating Projects: How to Beat the Heat

Summer brings clear skies and long daylight hours—ideal conditions for most home improvement projects. That’s why many Colorado homeowners choose to tackle garage upgrades during the warmer months. However, high temperatures in Denver and Colorado Springs can make summer garage coating projects challenging if not properly timed. At Keas Concrete Coatings, we help homeowners complete successful summer garage transformations by planning around the heat and using high-quality, heat-resistant flooring systems.

Colorado summers can bring temperatures well into the 90s, especially in areas like Colorado Springs and Denver. While epoxy and polyaspartic coatings cure best in warm weather, extreme heat can accelerate drying time too quickly, risking poor adhesion or a brittle finish. That’s why professional scheduling, surface prep, and material selection are essential for summer projects.

Early Starts and Shaded Spaces Make a Difference

The best way to manage summer garage coating is to begin work early in the day. In Denver and Colorado Springs, temperatures usually rise after 11 a.m. Planning your project to start by 7 or 8 a.m. allows technicians to apply coatings before the heat peaks.

We also recommend:

• Keeping the garage door open for ventilation
• Using temporary shade covers when necessary
• Postponing installation if temps exceed 95°F or surfaces are in direct sun

These strategies help ensure the base layers and topcoats of heat-resistant flooring systems adhere smoothly and cure evenly.

Heat-Resistant Flooring: What Works Best?

Not all garage coatings are created equal—especially in Colorado’s dry, high-altitude heat. At Keas Concrete Coatings, we specialize in advanced polyaspartic coating systems. These outperform standard epoxy in both hot and cold climates. Here’s why polyaspartic garage coatings are ideal for Colorado summers:

• Fast cure time even in varying temperatures
• UV resistance prevents yellowing or fading
• Durable, non-slip surface for hot tires and foot traffic
• Chemically resistant to oil, road salts, and fluids

Compared to epoxy, polyaspartic coatings cure in just a few hours and can be driven on within 24 hours—ideal for fast summer projects.

How to Plan Your Summer Garage Coating Timeline

Because summer is peak season for garage floor coating in Colorado, scheduling early is key. Our project calendar at Keas Concrete Coatings fills quickly from May through August. To ensure a seamless process:

• Contact us at least 2–3 weeks in advance
• Prep your garage by clearing clutter and cleaning surfaces
• Coordinate with weather forecasts and temperature trends

We also work with you to assess your specific concrete surface condition. Our team performs moisture tests, crack assessments, and cleaning before installation day to ensure your new floor performs for years.

What Local Homeowners Are Saying

“Keas Concrete Coatings did an amazing job on our garage. They arrived early to beat the heat and had everything done before noon. The floor looks incredible even weeks later under the summer sun.”

Smart Prep, Smart Protection: FAQs for Summer Coatings

What if it’s too hot the day of my install?

We monitor temperature forecasts and will reschedule if it's unsafe for proper application. Your coating's durability depends on optimal conditions.

Will my garage be too hot to cure the floor?

Not with polyaspartic coatings. They cure quickly, even in fluctuating temperatures, and we use techniques to ventilate and cool the garage during application.

Can I still use my garage the same day?

In most cases, yes. You can walk on the coating after 6 hours and drive on it within 24 hours.
