Serving Kent, OH · Portage County · ~24 miles from Canton
Garage Epoxy Flooring in Kent, OH
Kent is a city that blends university energy with genuine residential pride. From the University District to South Water Street's eclectic neighborhoods, Kent homeowners and business owners demand quality that holds up to real use. Canton Epoxy serves all of Kent and Portage County with 100% solids epoxy systems that are diamond-ground, moisture-tested, and finished with UV-stable polyaspartic topcoats — delivering a floor that looks great and performs without fail through Northeast Ohio's demanding seasons.
The Cuyahoga River runs through Kent, and with it comes the humidity and ground moisture that makes concrete slabs challenging for inferior epoxy systems. Our pre-installation moisture vapor emission testing is non-negotiable — we measure the slab's moisture output before any product goes down, ensuring that the coating bonds properly and won't delaminate months later. This protocol protects both your investment and our lifetime workmanship warranty, and it's a step that most budget contractors skip entirely.
Whether you're a Kent homeowner, a KSU-area landlord, or a business owner on East Main Street, Canton Epoxy delivers the region's most professional epoxy installation. Portage County projects are scheduled quickly — call 330.330.9900 for your free Kent estimate.

Key Features
Oil & Chemical Resistant
100% solids epoxy forms an impermeable barrier against motor oil, gasoline, antifreeze, brake fluid, and household cleaning chemicals — wipe up spills without staining.
Hot Tire Resistant
Our polyaspartic topcoat is specifically formulated to resist hot tire pickup — the primary failure mode of water-based and low-grade epoxy kits that peel away in strips when your hot tires cool on the surface.
Salt & Moisture Resistant
Road salt and snowmelt tracked in from Stark County's winters can't penetrate our sealed, non-porous surface. The coating protects the concrete underneath from spalling and long-term salt damage.
Diamond-Ground Adhesion
We grind every floor to a CSP 2–3 surface profile using professional diamond grinding equipment, opening the concrete pores so the epoxy bonds chemically to the slab rather than simply sitting on top of it.
Moisture-Tested Installation
Every installation includes MVER and relative humidity testing before any product is applied. If moisture levels exceed safe thresholds, we address it — because skipping this step is why other coatings fail.
Anti-UV Polyaspartic Topcoat
Our UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat won't yellow or fade from sunlight exposure through garage windows or doors. It cures to a hard, high-gloss finish within hours, not days.
Lifetime Workmanship Warranty
Every garage floor we install in Canton, Massillon, Alliance, Akron, and the greater Stark County area is backed by our lifetime workmanship warranty — we stand behind our prep work, our products, and our labor.
Kent Project Details
How It Works in Kent
Our Installation Process
The same professional process we use on every Portage County project — no shortcuts.
Free On-Site Estimate
We visit your Canton-area home to measure the floor, assess surface condition, identify any cracks or moisture concerns, and walk you through system options and pricing. No pressure, no obligation.
Diamond Grinding & Surface Prep
On installation day, we grind the entire floor to a CSP 2–3 surface profile using professional diamond grinding equipment. This opens the concrete pores for maximum chemical adhesion and removes any existing sealers or contaminants.
Moisture & Crack Testing
We perform MVER and relative humidity testing to confirm moisture vapor levels are within acceptable thresholds. Cracks, spalls, and control joints are filled and leveled with appropriate patching materials.
100% Solids Epoxy Base Coat
We apply a full-coverage 100% solids epoxy base coat in your chosen color. At this stage, decorative vinyl color chips are broadcast at full saturation across the wet base coat for a uniform, seamless appearance.
Chip Scrape & Seal
Once the base coat cures, we scrape any standing chips to create a smooth, even surface, then apply a clear epoxy seal coat to lock the chips in place and create the foundation for the topcoat.
UV-Stable Polyaspartic Topcoat
The final step is our UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat, applied in the desired sheen level (satin or high-gloss). Anti-slip aggregate is broadcast into the topcoat. The floor is walk-ready within hours and drive-ready the next morning.
