What to know first
Alpine Garage Systems serves Katonah and Westchester County with professional garage floor coatings, concrete preparation, cabinets, slatwall, and overhead storage. For a two-vehicle garage, the most useful first step is an item inventory—not a color selection. List vehicles, lawn and seasonal equipment, bicycles, sports gear, workbenches, bins, and anything that must remain accessible. Measure each large item and note how often it is used. This gives you a practical starting brief for a layout and written estimate.
Next, separate the inventory into parking, daily-access, occasional-use, and wall-or-ceiling storage categories. Mark door swings, walking paths, vehicle door clearance, and the area needed to load family equipment safely. Cabinets can organize smaller tools and supplies, slatwall can keep frequently used items visible, and overhead storage may suit bulky items that do not need daily access. Ask each provider to show what remains on the floor after storage is installed, rather than comparing storage by product name alone.
Once the layout is understood, inspect the concrete before choosing a coating. Preparation may include a site inspection, diamond grinding or another mechanical profile, cleaning, crack or spall repair, old-coating removal, contaminant checks, and moisture assessment when appropriate. Winter road salt, grit, wet vehicle traffic, hot tires, and temperature changes are useful planning considerations for a Northeast garage, but an estimate should identify observed conditions rather than assume them. Request a written description of the proposed preparation and any exclusions.
System selection should follow the inventory and concrete findings. Epoxy can be part of a durable floor system, while polyaspartic systems may offer a different installation and performance profile; neither is universally best for every slab or schedule. A full-broadcast decorative flake finish can provide texture and visual variation, and metallic epoxy creates a more distinctive appearance. Ask what primer, base, broadcast, topcoat, cure guidance, and repair allowances are included before comparing names or sample colors.
The floor plan should also account for future rearranging. Leave sensible access to electrical panels, doors, drains, and stored equipment, and confirm whether cabinets or slatwall will be anchored into suitable surfaces. Overhead storage needs a clearly stated installation approach and capacity information from the provider; do not infer structural-load suitability from a photograph or product label. Before ordering, measure the parking and walking zones again with vehicles positioned as intended, then compare the proposed layout with your inventory.
Starting floor-package prices are $1,799 for one car and $2,999 for two cars. Metallic and qualifying custom finishes may add 20%. These are starting points, so a useful written estimate should state measured square footage, selected system, preparation, repairs, storage items, edge or step work, taxes or other charges, schedule assumptions, and payment terms. Confirm whether cabinets, slatwall, overhead storage, moving items, and disposal are included or priced separately.
Alpine’s warranty wording is a 5-Year Limited Labor Warranty governed by written terms; manufacturer warranties are separate; the written Katonah, NY proposal should explain how this applies to the reviewed space. Ask for both documents and confirm maintenance, cure, use, exclusions, and claim procedures. The next step is to prepare your inventory, rough layout, photos, and measurements for a consultation. Even if you compare other providers, use those materials to request like-for-like proposals that explain preparation, finish layers, storage installation, price adjustments, and what you must move before work begins.
Inventory details to bring to an estimate
- Record vehicle dimensions plus the clearance needed to open doors and access trunks or tailgates.
- Measure bicycles, bins, tools, sports equipment, and seasonal items that need a designated home.
- Mark which belongings need daily access and which can move to cabinets, slatwall, or overhead storage.
Written proposal points to compare
- Identify the concrete preparation steps, repairs, moisture assessment, and old-coating removal included in the price.
- Name every floor layer and finish, including whether the proposal is epoxy, polyaspartic, flake, or metallic.
- List storage quantities, anchoring approach, exclusions, starting-price adjustments, warranty documents, and cure instructions.

Frequently asked questions
Does Alpine serve Katonah and Westchester County?
Yes. Alpine Garage Systems serves Katonah and Westchester County as a service-area business.
Can I keep two vehicles and still add garage storage?
Usually that depends on measured clearances and the equipment inventory. A layout should reserve parking and walking zones before assigning cabinets, slatwall, or overhead storage.
Is a full-flake floor the only practical choice for a busy garage?
No. Epoxy, polyaspartic, full-broadcast flake, and metallic systems involve different appearance, installation, and use considerations. Concrete condition and your priorities should guide the selection.
What does the two-car starting price include?
The starting floor-package price is $2,999. The written estimate should clarify included preparation, finish, repairs, taxes or other charges, and any storage or customization costs.
What should I do before the installation date?
Confirm the layout, remove or relocate agreed items, review preparation and cure instructions, and obtain the written warranty terms and manufacturer documents.
