Professional Garage Floor Replacement
Services in Bloomington

How thick should a garage floor be in Minnesota?

Minnesota garage floors typically require 4 to 6 inches of concrete thickness, depending on expected vehicle weight and soil conditions. Gardner Construction evaluates your specific needs and recommends appropriate thickness, ensuring your new garage floor handles daily use while resisting damage from Minnesota's freeze-thaw cycles and the weight of vehicles, snow removal equipment, and stored items.

How long does garage floor replacement take?

Most garage floor replacement projects in Bloomington take 2 to 3 days, including demolition, preparation, pouring, and initial curing, though weather and garage size affect timing. Our team schedules work to minimize inconvenience, and we provide clear timelines before starting, ensuring you understand when your garage will be fully operational again.

Do I need to remove everything from my garage?

Yes, garage floor replacement requires complete removal of all items, vehicles, and storage systems to provide clear workspace for demolition and installation. We provide guidance on preparation prior to our installation day, saving you the trouble of a hurried cleaning on the day of. Once we’re on-site, our team works efficiently to minimize the time your garage remains unusable, helping you plan temporary storage solutions for your belongings.

Will my new garage floor crack like the old one?

While some cracking is natural in concrete, proper installation dramatically reduces crack likelihood and severity. Gardner Construction uses control joints, proper concrete mix design, adequate thickness, and correct base preparation to minimize cracking. Additionally, our two decades of garage floor mastery ensures you get the highest-rated installation techniques that maximize your new garage floor's longevity.

Gardner Construction handles complete garage floor replacement for residential properties throughout Bloomington. Our services include attached garage floors, detached garage installations, and driveway apron connections. We understand how Minnesota's climate affects garage floors, from winter moisture infiltration to summer heat expansion, and we engineer our installations accordingly.

Every garage floor replacement begins with thorough assessment of existing conditions, identifying why the old floor failed and implementing solutions to prevent recurrence. Once we have a plan for your property, we properly remove deteriorated concrete, evaluate and improve base conditions, install vapor barriers when needed, and pour quality concrete with appropriate reinforcement. Our finishing creates proper slopes for drainage while providing smooth, durable surfaces suitable for epoxy coatings or leaving as exposed concrete.

Extensive cracking, spalling surfaces, significant settling, or widespread deterioration indicate garage floor replacement is more practical than repair. Additionally, you should consider garage floor repair if you’re dealing with moisture problems causing rust on tools and vehicles, large areas of concrete breaking away, or structural issues like sinking sections require complete replacement.
