Cracked, chipped or dusty garage floor? We'll tell you whether it can be resurfaced or needs to come out, and build it on solid ground.
Groundwork Denton Concrete Company is a concrete crew based in Denton. We pour driveways, patios and garage floors, along with the prep under them that nobody sees. I learned concrete fixing slabs that cracked and sank, so on garage floor concrete in Denton and the cities around it, we start with the ground and the water before we talk about the finish.

Garage floor concrete, new or repaired
Most calls about garage floor concrete in Denton, TX start with something you can see: cracks that keep spreading, a floor that's sunk near the door, chipping, or a dusty top that never cleans up. Around Dallas, home slabs run four to six inches thick, and garage floors sit at the thicker end because they carry your car, so what's under them matters as much as the top.
First I figure out whether your floor is sound enough to resurface or whether the weak spots need to come out. Price moves with the garage's size, any tear-out and hauling, steel in the slab and the finish you pick, and the schedule turns mostly on the cure. My written estimate spells out what's included.
- Tear-out and hauling. When the old floor is too far gone, we break it out and haul it off so the new slab starts on clean ground.
- Subgrade prep. We fix the subgrade, the dirt and base the slab sits on, by digging out soft spots and packing it firm.
- Rebar where needed. Rebar, steel bars laid inside the slab, holds the pieces together if it cracks, so a crack stays tight instead of spreading.
- Pour and finish. We place the concrete, level it and finish the top to suit the coating or texture you picked.
- Control joints. We cut control joints, shallow grooves that give the slab a straight line to crack along instead of a random one.
Garage floor jobs we take on
We handle garage floors from a fresh pour on bare ground to saving an old slab that's still solid, and I'll tell you which one your garage actually needs.
New garage slabs
For a new garage or an addition, we prep the ground, set forms and pour a slab sized for your cars, storage and workbench.
Tear-out and repour
When a floor has sunk or broken up, we remove it, fix what's underneath and pour a new slab in its place.
Patching weak spots
We cut out crumbling sections down to solid ground and pour them back, so the patch has something firm to sit on.
Resurfacing a sound floor
When the slab is solid and only the top is worn, pitted or stained, a thin resurfacing coat gives you a clean surface again.
Bare or coated finish
We leave a broom finish, a light texture for grip, or a smooth top ready for epoxy or polyaspartic. For color or stain, ask about decorative concrete.
If your job isn't listed, such as a concrete retaining wall where the driveway cuts into a slope, call or send the form and ask.
Why a garage floor is worth doing right
A garage floor done right stays level, sends water out the door and holds up under your car, and any cracking usually follows the joints instead of wandering. Done poorly, it's the kind of floor I spent years patching.
- Base before finishThe base is hidden on day one and the first thing people want to cut, but I'd spend the money there before a fancier top.
- Water running outWe check where water runs so the floor slopes gently toward the door instead of pooling under your car or against the house.
- Pour timed for heatOn hot days we'd rather pour early, because concrete placed in midday sun can dry too fast and leave a weak, dusty top.
- A proper cureCuring is the slow hardening that gives concrete strength, and summer pours last about as well as others if the surface doesn't dry out.
How your garage floor job runs
We come out and measure
After you call or send the form, I come out myself, measure the garage and look at the floor, the ground under it and where water goes.
Your written estimate
I send a written estimate that says whether we're resurfacing, patching or pouring new, and what's included, like tear-out and hauling.
Pour, check and walk-through
Our crew does the prep, forms, pour and finish while I check it at the key steps, and we walk the finished floor with you before we pack up.

Property managers who remember how I worked still call, along with homeowners, and that kind of repeat call is what I care about.

Garage floors in Denton and nearby cities
In Denton, the city's Building Safety Division issues permits and inspects building work. I check with that office whether your garage floor needs a permit before we start, and when it does, we file the application and book the inspections through the city's portal. The city also registers contractors, and we're licensed and insured.
One soil type found around Denton has a top layer that cracks when it's dry, so we look hard at the ground before we pour on it. Extension guidance written for another part of Texas suggests keeping soil next to a foundation fairly evenly moist all year. We pour garage floors in Corinth and Lewisville the same way.

How much does a new concrete garage floor cost in Denton?
Around Dallas, a new concrete slab without staining or stamping usually costs about $5 to $11 per square foot. That's the going rate in the area, not our price, and your total moves with the size, tear-out and finish. Your written estimate gives you your own number.
Does a garage floor I plan to coat need a vapor barrier?
Yes, one garage-slab guide says a vapor retarder under the slab is worth having when the floor will be coated, or heated and finished out later. A bare, broom-finished floor in an unheated garage doesn't need one. That's why we settle your finish before the pour and put a moisture barrier under any floor you plan to coat.
How soon can I walk and park on a new garage floor?
You can usually walk on it within 48 hours, though concrete takes about a month to fully cure. To be safe, plan on about a week before your car or other heavy loads go on it, and park outside until then.
Can a cracked or weak garage floor just be resurfaced?
Only if the concrete underneath is sound, because thin overlays laid over weak concrete commonly come loose. A proper repair starts by removing the unsound concrete down to a solid base. That's why I won't quote a resurface until I've looked at your floor.
Will a new concrete garage floor crack like my old one?
It can still crack, since that's normal for concrete, but the control joints give it a straight line to crack along instead of wandering across the floor. A dug-out, packed base also keeps it from sinking the way a lot of old floors did.
