Apply Epoxy Systems Engineered for Performance
Certified installation backed by $9,000 concrete grinding equipment
Finesse Finishing operates as a certified epoxy technician with training through Epoxy Training Experts and over $15,000 in professional-grade equipment supporting every installation in Oswego and the surrounding counties. Quintin Briglin addresses concrete prep and grinding as the concrete grinding foundation of each project, using a $9,000 machine that removes surface defects, opens pores for proper adhesion, and creates the profile epoxy systems require. This preparation separates results that last decades from coatings that fail within months, and it's the phase most regional contractors rush or skip entirely.
Your concrete faces freeze-thaw cycles, road salt tracked in from driveways, and moisture migration from seasonal temperature swings. Flake epoxy, metallic epoxy, quartz epoxy, and solid color systems deliver different aesthetics and performance characteristics, but all depend on surface preparation that eliminates weak spots before the first layer goes down. Whether you're upgrading a basement, refreshing a patio, or outfitting a commercial space, the installation method determines how well the floor responds to daily use.
Finesse Finishing covers garages, basements, patios, countertops, and commercial floors across Oswego, Onondaga, and Cayuga counties. Each system includes a lifetime warranty, and every job follows the same grinding-first approach that locks coatings to concrete rather than hoping adhesion holds over time.

Preparation and Application Standards
Concrete grinding removes laitance, oils, and previous coatings, then creates the anchor profile epoxy needs to bond at the molecular level. Finesse Finishing documents surface prep on every job—checking for moisture, repairing cracks, addressing imperfections, and grinding to the depth the system requires. Metallic precision demands even more attention: trowel technique, temperature control, and timing windows affect how metallic pigments move and settle, which is why few contractors attempt these installations despite their appeal.
You'll know what to expect at each stage, from initial surface assessment through final top coat curing. The process includes concrete evaluation, grinding and repair, base coat application, broadcast or metallic layer, and protective top coat—each step sequenced to prevent outgassing, delamination, and finish flaws that emerge when shortcuts replace technique.
Central New York projects benefit from preparation standards designed for this climate:
Industrial-grade epoxy formulations selected for freeze-thaw resistance and impact durability
Grinding equipment capable of removing old coatings and profiling concrete to specification
Metallic systems applied with the trowel control and timing required for showroom-style finish results
Year-round scheduling that includes winter commercial work when basements, gas stations, and indoor facilities need resurfacing

Technical Capability and Material Investment
Finesse Finishing commits to complex repairs and premium systems that demand both skill and equipment investment. Metallic epoxy countertops and floors command higher pricing because material costs are significant and application errors can't be sanded away—you either control the metallic movement during the working window or the finish fails. The $9,000 concrete grinding machine represents a tangible commitment to doing prep work correctly, and the certified epoxy technician credential confirms training in techniques many contractors learn through trial and error on customer projects.
Peak season runs summer through fall with two to three jobs per week, while winter shifts to commercial jobs and indoor spaces where temperature and ventilation can be controlled. That year-round workflow reflects reliable demand and a reputation for handling installations other contractors decline. Every project backs a lifetime warranty, and every installation follows the same grinding-first standard that ensures coatings bond permanently rather than peel when seasonal stress tests the surface.

Nothing but good comments to say about Quintin! He is hard working, dependable, on time, and a good communicator. Our new garage floor looks fantastic and will serve us well for many years to come. We had a couple minor issues and he came right back out to resolve them for us with no problem. Would definitely recommend Finesse Flooring to anyone looking to update a garage floor!
