TWIN CITIES POLY-QUARTZ EXPERTS
Since 1999, ConcreteRenewal has been built on a simple promise: if I sell you the floor, I am the one installing it.
🛠️ Craftsmanship, Not “Employees"
I bring 27 years of hands-on craftsmanship doing all my own work. My son-in-law joined me 6 years ago. Our chemistry allows us to complement each other's roles and makes our teamwork second to none. Together, we handle every square inch of your floor personally. This "owner-on-site" approach allows us to maintain a level of efficiency and obsessive attention to detail that big companies simply can’t replicate.
Apple Valley’s Poly-Quartz™ Specialists
Since 1999, ConcreteRenewal has operated on a simple promise: if I sell you the floor, I am the one installing it. While many Apple Valley contractors send hired "crews" or national franchises to your home, I bring 27 years of hands-on craftsmanship to every project. Working alongside my son-in-law, Nick, we handle every square inch personally. We don't just "paint" your floor; we engineer a permanent centerpiece for your home.
🛡️ The "Suit of Armor" Architecture
Most garage floor companies in the Twin Cities install "Paint Chip" (flake) systems. These are essentially thin layers of plastic, often only 10 to 15 mils thick—roughly the thickness of a business card. The Poly-Quartz™ system is built to an industrial standard:
- 100+ Mil Thickness: Our system is nearly 10x thicker than standard residential flake floors, providing massive impact resistance.
- Mineral Hardness (Mohs 7.0): We exclusively use Permacolor Quartz. While vinyl flakes are soft plastic (Mohs 3.0), our quartz mineral is virtually impossible to scratch.
- 13,000 PSI Foundation: We use LABPOX 30, an industrial-grade epoxy that delivers double the crush resistance of the polyurea primers used by "one-day" installers.
🔬 Science vs. "Buzzwords": The Truth About Strength
In Apple Valley, you’ll likely hear the pitch: "Polyurea is 4x stronger than epoxy!" This is a misleading comparison to weak DIY kits. When compared to our professional-grade foundation, the data tells a different story:
| Feature | Typical "One-Day" System | Our Poly-Quartz System |
|---|---|---|
| Foundation Strength | ~4,000 PSI (Polyurea) | 13,000 PSI (LABPOX 30) |
| Surface Hardness | 45 – 65 Shore D | 83 Shore D |
| Armor Layer | Vinyl "Paint Chips" | Solid Quartz Mineral |
| Minnesota Safety | "Slip Trap" (Slick when wet) | High-Traction (0.75+ DCOF) |
🌪️ Patent-Pending DeCe™ Technology
The #1 cause of floor failure in Minnesota is "Bond Breakers"—fine concrete dust trapped in the pores during grinding. Conventional vacuums used by other Apple Valley contractors simply cannot dislodge it.
The ConcreteRenewal Edge: We use our industry-changing, Patent-Pending DeCe™ Technology. This system uses sonic velocity air jets to dislodge trapped dust so it can be HEPA-vacuumed away. This ensures a maximum resin-to-concrete bond that "one-day" crews simply can't replicate.
💧 Solving the "Slip Trap" in Apple Valley
Standard flake floors feel grippy when dry, but the moment melting snow hits the surface, they lose their traction and drop to a dangerous 0.40 safety rating. We call this the "Slip Trap."
- High-Traction Engineering: Because quartz is a rigid, 3D mineral, it creates a textured profile that maintains a superior Wet DCOF of 0.75 – 0.85.
- Thermal Flexibility: Our LABFAST LO 85 topcoat features 150% elongation. It expands and contracts during extreme freeze-thaw cycles without peeling or cracking.
- UV Stability: Engineered to never "amber" or yellow, even in the direct sunlight of an open garage threshold.
🌡️ Step 1: Proprietary Climate Control
Our first step is to set up our proprietary trailer, which allows us to completely control air and surface temperatures. While other companies are forced to delay projects when it’s too humid or too cold, our controlled environment ensures a perfect chemical bond 365 days a year. Precision curing is a technical necessity, not an option.
🔄 The Wear Paradox: A Floor That Gets Better With Age
Most garage coatings are at their best the day they are installed—every tire turn after that is a countdown to failure. Because we use Mohs 7.0 quartz, wear actually works in your favor. If the top resin layer ever thins after decades of heavy use, it simply exposes more of the rigid mineral aggregate. You aren't walking on a "paint job"; you are walking on a solid mineral armor.
Industrial Quality at a Residential Price
Because I run an efficient, family-owned business without the massive overhead of national franchises or "middle-man" sales commissions, I am able to price our industrial-grade Poly-Quartz™ systems similarly to the thin flake floors sold elsewhere. You get a measurably safer, stronger floor for a similar investment.

📍 Local Service Spotlight: Apple Valley, MN
Serving the South Metro & Apple Valley (55124)
Apple Valley garages aren't just for cars—they are the main entry point for busy families. Whether your home is near the Minnesota Zoo, a newer build near Cobblestone Lake, or located in the established neighborhoods off Johnny Cake Ridge Road, your garage floor takes a beating from heavy SUVs, salt-soaked slush, and constant foot traffic.
Many Apple Valley homeowners are pitched "one-day" polyurea floors that look great for a year but eventually peel under the stress of Minnesota’s freeze-thaw cycles. At ConcreteRenewal, we do things differently. We use our DeCe™ Technology to ensure a surgical-grade bond, followed by a 100+ mil thick Poly-Quartz system that is 10x thicker than standard suburban coatings. From Cedar Avenue to Redwood Park, we provide the safest, most slip-resistant surface for your family.

Apple Valley Homeowner FAQs
Most Apple Valley contractors use thin flake floors (10-15 mils). Our Poly-Quartz system is 100+ mils thick—nearly 10x thicker—and uses rigid minerals with a Mohs hardness of 7.0 for superior impact and abrasion resistance.
Standard floors become "slip traps" when wet. Our Poly-Quartz system maintains a superior Wet DCOF of 0.75 – 0.85, providing high-traction safety even with melting snow and ice.
