Garage floor coating in Cypress
Cypress is unincorporated, but with about 200,000 people across its two ZIP codes in 2020 it would be one of the largest cities in Greater Houston. The area stayed mostly rural until the early 1990s, when developers began building master-planned communities, so most garage slabs here are newer than 35 years.

What Cypress garages usually need
A slab from the 1990s or 2000s is usually in good shape for coating. The work is mostly cleaning up what years of parking leave behind: oil and tire stains, a hairline crack or two, and sometimes a thin DIY coating that has started to peel. Those floors get ground to bare concrete, patched and coated in one pass.
Newer homes in the 77433 ZIP, which OpenDoor ranked the hottest ZIP code for buyers in the country in 2023, often have garages that have never been coated. Those slabs need a moisture test and enough cure time before anything goes down.
Floods and garage slabs
Cypress lies in the Cypress Creek and Little Cypress Creek watershed, and Hurricane Harvey in 2017 is one of the storms residents remember. A slab that has been under water holds moisture well after the surface looks dry. If your garage flooded, a moisture test before coating isn't optional. See slab moisture and peeling coatings.
Soil in the northwest suburbs
A University of Houston CIGMAT paper notes that most of the Houston area sits on the Beaumont Formation, with the Montgomery Formation in the northern and western areas. Both are expansive clays that swell and shrink with moisture. Slabs move a little with them, which is why crack repair is part of most quotes.

Questions people ask
My garage took water during a storm. Can it still be coated?
Usually, once the slab has dried and passes a moisture test. If it doesn't, a moisture-mitigating primer goes down first.
