Nottingham Country is one of Katy’s original master-planned neighborhoods, with homes dating to the 1970s and ’80s. Those decades-old garage slabs are prime candidates for a coating — but only with the deeper prep that aged concrete demands.
Some of the Oldest Slabs in Katy
Established off Mason Road in the 1970s, Nottingham Country predates almost every newer Katy subdivision. Its garage slabs have endured 40-plus years of Houston heat-and-humidity cycles, vehicle traffic, and ground movement. Many show surface spalling, deep oil saturation, and wider cracks than newer concrete.
That history is exactly why professional prep matters. We diamond-grind to sound concrete, treat oil-contaminated zones, and repair structural cracks before any coating — see our crack repair before epoxy guide.
Moisture Testing on Vintage Concrete
Older slabs were often poured without today’s vapor barriers, so they can transmit more ground moisture. We run moisture testing on every Nottingham Country floor and use a vapor-tolerant primer when readings call for it, preventing the bubbling and peeling that ruins coatings applied over damp concrete.
A Dramatic Before-and-After
Few floors transform as dramatically as a 40-year-old garage slab. A full flake system hides decades of imperfections and delivers a clean, modern surface. Compare chip options in our flake floor and flake size guides.
Worth It on a Mature Home
A renewed garage floor adds real appeal to Nottingham Country’s established homes, especially for buyers who value updated, low-maintenance spaces. Our polyaspartic topcoat keeps the finish bright and easy to clean for years.
Pricing for Older Garages
Because vintage slabs may need extra remediation, we quote after inspection. See baseline ranges in our Katy cost guide and call (281) 503-5313 for a free estimate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a 1970s garage slab really be coated?
Yes, and the results are dramatic. We grind to sound concrete, remediate oil and cracks, and test for moisture so the coating bonds and lasts.
Why is moisture testing important on older slabs?
Many vintage slabs lack a vapor barrier and transmit ground moisture. Testing lets us pick a primer that prevents bubbling and peeling.
Will a coating hide my cracked, stained floor?
A full flake system conceals decades of imperfections for a clean, modern look once the slab is properly repaired and prepped.
