The Real Reason Summit Exists
Hi, I'm Scott Knight, owner of Summit Epoxy Floors here in Boise. A few years back, I got fed up watching local homeowners and shop owners waste money on cheap, one-day epoxy jobs that peeled, yellowed, or failed after a couple winters of Idaho weather and heavy use. I was especially tired of seeing franchise installers come and go—promising quick fixes but leaving customers with no real long-term support when issues popped up. And don't get me started on those 1-day polyurea basecoat floors: the aesthetics often look rushed, with voids in the broadcast flake layer, less texture overall, and way too much exposed base coat showing through. The bond can be questionable too—especially with inconsistent prep techniques and polyurea base coats that rely heavily on 'perfect' moisture levels in the concrete to adhere properly. One wrong condition, and it all starts lifting.
I knew there had to be a better way—one that delivered real durability, consistent beauty, and honest results without the franchise hype or sky-high prices.
That's why I started Summit: to bring the best service and the strongest materials to the Treasure Valley at a fair price. We developed our hybrid system (rock-solid high-solids 2-part epoxy base for superior bonding, full broadcast Torginol color flakes with 150+ colors and 6 textures, and tough 2-part polyaspartic polyurea top coat) because it outperforms everything else we've tested—bonding so well the concrete fails before the epoxy does, resisting chemicals/UV/heat, and holding up for a lifetime. No shortcuts, no gimmicks—just reliable work that lets you finally win the battle against messy, dull, or failing floors and enjoy a space you're proud to show off.
Our Philosophy
In any lasting business, you can't have the absolute best in all three: top-tier service, highest quality, and the lowest price. Service and quality both cost money—trying to win on all fronts usually means cutting corners somewhere, and that doesn't last.
We made our choice early on: Best Service + Best Quality, delivered at a fair, transparent price—no franchise hype, no hidden fees, no shortcuts that fail in Idaho winters.
This philosophy guides everything at Summit Epoxy Floors. We invest in premium materials, thorough prep, and honest work so you get floors that truly perform and look great for a lifetime—because Boise homeowners and shop owners deserve better than "good enough."

Our Process
Grinding the Floor
An installed resinous garage floor coating is really only as good as its bond to the floor underneath. Any applied finish requires a porous surface to attach to.
Bare concrete in the garage has a skin on the surface designed to help reduce staining and create a smooth finish. That skin must be removed to bond any finish.
Though an acid etch will open the surface a little, it also stays in the concrete forever, changes the PH level and leaves the skin intact.
The best prep for epoxy floors is a mechanical grind, and that is what we do.
We have an assortment of grinder sizes to ensure we can completely remove that skin from concrete and ensure lifelong adhesion.
Base Coat
The base coat of a triple-layer floor has two primary purposes:
1. Bond to the concrete and color flake
2. Provide an even color tone under the floor
There are two competing materials for this purpose, epoxy and polyaspartic polyurea. When properly applied to a well prepared surface, both compositions provide a great base coating. We have chosen to use a high quality epoxy for our base coat because it is a better fit. Our 2-part epoxy bonds so well to garage concrete that, when tested, the concrete fails before the epoxy garage floor separates. Epoxy has a worktime on the floor of up to an hour, meaning we can get a more consistent finish for a better end look. The polyaspartic polyurea base offers only one advantage over epoxy; it cures extremely fast. That fast cure requires more techs on a job to achieve a consistent finish and jobs can be completed in one day.
The way we see it, in a couple of years, when you look at the beautifully installed floor, are you even going to remember if the installation took 1 day or 2?
That is why we use a quality, 2-part epoxy base on all our projects.
Color Flakes
We decided to go straight to the source. Believe it or not, there are only two companies in the US that makes the color flakes used in epoxy floors . There are many distributors and lots of private label brands, but only two companies makes the flakes, and we partner directly with the largest, Torginol, to provide you with the most options and the fastest order turn-time available for your epoxy garage floor Between the 6 size/texture options and over 150 solid colors, there are virtually no limits to the finishes we can achieve for you in Boise or the surrounding community.
Top Coat
The top coat of a finished floor is the most important. The only lasting option for a quality epoxy garage floor is a 2-part Polyaspartic Polyurea finish over the top of new epoxy floors .
Without getting technical, it is the only finish that is:
Durable
Chemical resistant
Road salt resistant
Heat resistant
Impact resistant
Abrasion resistant
UV Stable
Easy to clean
