Learn MoreStronger. Faster. Built to Last.
We install a premium polyurea garage floor system because epoxy chips, peels, and yellows. Polyurea bonds chemically to the slab, flexes with the concrete, and is rated for 15+ years of residential garage use. One day to install. Drive on it the next.

Frequently Asked
Questions, Answered
- What service area do you cover?
- We install premium polyurea garage floors and Strux Garage Cabinets across the Central Coast — San Luis Obispo, Arroyo Grande, Pismo Beach, Avila Beach, Nipomo, Santa Ynez, Solvang, Buellton, Los Olivos. We're family-owned and based locally, not a franchise dropping in from out of town.
- Why polyurea instead of epoxy?
- Polyurea is stronger, more flexible, and UV-stable. Epoxy is rigid and prone to chipping under hot tires; it also yellows in sunlight. Our polyurea system bonds chemically to the slab, won't peel, and is rated for 15+ years of residential garage use. It's a 1-day install — walk on in 4–6 hours, park on in 24.
- How long does the floor coating install take?
- A 2-person dedicated crew completes the floor in a single day. You can walk on it in 4–6 hours, park on it in 24 hours, and it's fully cured in 5–7 days.
- What makes Strux Garage Cabinets different from melamine cabinets?
- Strux cabinets are fully powder-coated on every surface — fronts, sides, tops, backs, and shelves. Melamine cabinets rely on glued seams and edge banding that fail in humid garage environments. Powder coat doesn't peel, swell, or delaminate.
- Are estimates and consultations free?
- Yes. Every project starts with a free in-home consultation. We come to you, measure the space, talk through colors and finishes, and leave you with a clear written quote on the spot.
- Are you actually local, or is this a franchise?
- Local. New Life Garages is a brand of New Life Painting & Remodeling, founded by Chuck Winkles in 1978. 48 years on the Central Coast, family-owned, CA Contractor's License #959135. Our installers are W-2 employees — not subcontractors.
