“Highly recommend. Tanner was very easy to communicate with and did a phenomenal job on our floor. Great people and company!”
The prep is the job. Everything else is finish work.
Apex Decorative Coatings is run out of Starkville, MS by Tanner Watts, who is on the job rather than behind a desk.
Most people call us after they have already looked at a big box kit or gotten a price from somebody who quoted the job over the phone without seeing the slab. Both of those routes end up the same way. The coating goes down over concrete that was never opened up, and a year later it is lifting at the edges or coming up with the tires.
So we grind. Every slab, every time, with diamond tooling and dust collection so your garage is not full of silica. Then we deal with what the grinding exposes: cracks get cut open and filled, spalled areas get rebuilt, low spots get brought level. Only then does anything get coated.
From there it is flake, quartz, metallic, stain, or sealer depending on what the floor is for. We will tell you which one we would put down and why, including when the cheaper option is genuinely the right call. You get a written price before we start and a straight answer about when you can walk on it and when you can park on it.
We are based in Starkville and we travel. The Golden Triangle is home, but we take jobs from Southaven down to the coast, because being outside a metro should not mean settling for whoever happens to be closest.



What you get working with us
The prep is the job
We diamond grind every slab and fix what is wrong with it before any coating goes down. A beautiful floor is only as good as what is underneath it.
You deal with the owner
Tanner Watts runs the company and is on the job. When you call, you talk to the person who is going to be standing on your floor.
