LuxeDay Coatings · New Castle County
Garage floor coating in New Castle County, DE.
We work across the state line regularly, and Delaware has one real advantage worth knowing about before you compare quotes.
What we find on New Castle County slabs
No sales tax on materials
Delaware has no state sales tax. On a coating job, materials are a real share of the cost, so the same garage genuinely comes in lower here than across the line in Pennsylvania. It is not a discount we are offering — it is simply not being charged, and it shows on the quote.
Newer construction around Middletown and Bear
The growth corridor south of the canal is almost entirely modern construction: sound slabs, vapour barriers, low moisture readings. Straightforward one-day work.
Older stock in Wilmington and Greenville
North Wilmington and Greenville have older housing with detached garages and, in places, slabs poured on grade. Those get moisture tested before we quote, same as anywhere else. A high reading is not a refusal, it is a different system and a different price, and we say which before starting.
What the price covers
Interior work is $8 a square foot on a slab in sound condition. That is the diamond grind and surface preparation, crack and joint repair for normal wear, moisture testing, the pigmented base coat, the flake broadcast and a UV-stable clear topcoat. Exterior work runs $10 to $12 depending on the grip required and the access.
What it does not cover is heavy spalling, removal of a failed previous coating, or moisture mitigation where a slab reads over threshold. Those are quoted separately once we have seen the floor, and you can walk away at that point at no cost.

Frequently asked questions
Is it cheaper in Delaware?
Usually a little, because there is no sales tax on the materials. We do not mark up to absorb the difference — it simply comes off the total.
Do you actually cross the line for a single garage?
Yes. New Castle County is part of our normal service area, not an exception we make. Wilmington, Newark, Hockessin, Greenville, Bear and Middletown.
Are you licensed in Delaware?
We hold Pennsylvania HIC registration 191644 and carry $1,000,000 in liability insurance that applies to all our work. A certificate is available on request before anyone starts.
How much for a two-car garage?
Around $3,520 for a standard 440 square foot garage on a sound slab, less the sales tax difference. The quick quote gives you the exact figure.
Can you do a basement floor at the same time?
Yes, and it is usually cheaper together because the equipment is already on site. Basements get a solid colour for brightness; garages get flake for grip.
