Serving University Park and nearby communities
Since the 1970s, larger homes have been replacing the 1930s cottages here, so a brand-new garage slab can sit two lots from an original one. Classic has done work in University Park, about half an hour from our Garland shop.
Your local coating team
Classic Concrete Coatings has already done work in University Park. Our crews drive in from Garland, where the shop sits on North Shiloh Road, and reach City Hall on University Boulevard in roughly 28 to 30 minutes by Skillman Street or US-75, depending on traffic. The owner, Nick Brown, has run Classic since 2018.
A rebuilt house usually comes with a garage nobody has parked in yet, and an original house on the same block may have a slab that has carried cars since the 1930s. Both can take our polyurea base, color flake and polyaspartic topcoat. They just get there differently: new concrete has to be ready for a coating, and old concrete has to be ground back to something sound.
University Park is a 3.69-square-mile city in Dallas County, incorporated in 1924, with Dallas on three sides and Highland Park to the south. It began as three streets west of SMU's Dallas Hall and filled in on a grid. Volk Estates, Caruth Hills, Idlewild and University Highlands are among its additions.

Rear patios and covered outdoor rooms get a UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat, chosen for slabs that spend all afternoon in the sun.
Patio coatings for outdoor living
Our flagship. A polyurea base coat, then color flake broadcast to full coverage, then a clear polyaspartic topcoat. In a newly built University Park garage, it goes on before the first car leaves its first stain.
Details on our garage coating system
Older lots here often keep a detached garage building behind the house. That building, a sunroom, a front porch or the entry walk falls under this service.
Coating a detached garage, porch or sunroom
Polished concrete, quartz, ESD floors and urethane cement, along with deck waterproofing for balconies and parking structures.
Browse commercial coating workUniversity Park is mostly houses, so this block is for anyone with a shop, office or store floor to coat as well. Our commercial epoxy is a separate system from anything we put in a home, with heavier topcoats.
Epoxy floors for commercial spacesBuilt around local conditions
Loma Linda dates mostly to the 1920s and 1930s, Idlewild filled with one-story cottages in the late 1930s, and Potomac Park followed into the early 1940s. Garages from that era are often detached buildings at the back of the lot, like the 1940 Idlewild house whose garage gained an apartment in 2018. Those slabs need grinding, crack work and stain prep before any base coat.
As values rose, smaller University Park houses were replaced by larger ones, and the rebuilding still goes on. In University Highlands, 1930s cottages are giving way to homes near 5,000 square feet, and Windsor Place mixes its originals with newer large houses. A garage poured during a rebuild is new concrete, and new concrete has to be ready before it is coated. Ask Nick to check yours.
The city's streets were laid out in a grid on what had been open prairie, and the clay under that prairie still behaves the same way. Blackland Prairie clay expands when wet and cracks as it dries, which keeps slabs across the region moving. A polyurea base flexes with that movement, which is the reason we use it in homes and keep epoxy for commercial work.
Many rebuilt houses keep the old pattern of parking off the alley. A Granada Avenue home rebuilt in 1992, for example, has a two-car rear-entry garage reached from the alley, and the city repaves its residential alleys. For our crew, that means planning where the trailer parks and how equipment reaches the garage before install day.
Reliable local support
University Park is about 29 minutes from our Garland shop outside rush hour. Daytime traffic takes longer. We confirm your address and current appointment options rather than promising an unverified arrival or lead time.
Nick sees your University Park concrete in person. Size, age, stains, existing coatings and daily use shape the recommendation, and your written quote explains the preparation needed.
Qualifying residential flake systems include a 15-year written warranty. Ask Nick to explain coverage and exclusions for the specific surfaces on your quote; do not assume every outdoor or commercial system carries the same terms.
Nick’s Garland-based company handles your estimate, installation planning and project questions. Discuss all the areas you want evaluated at the same free visit, with clear recommendations and no pressure to buy.
Service coverage
Highland Park, to the south, is the only neighbor here that is not Dallas; the others follow the roads north and east that connect University Park with our shop. Depending on the route, City Hall is 28 to 30 minutes from the Garland shop.

If your University Park garage was poured during a rebuild, ask how long the concrete needs before it can be coated, and do it before stains and tire marks set in. Older originals need grinding and crack prep instead. Nick tells you which applies at the estimate. For a straight answer about your own slab, new or original, call (214) 550-9809 or schedule a slab check.
Ask any coating company whether it has worked in University Park, where its crew is based, and whether its installers are employees. Classic has done work here, drives in from Garland, and uses a small team of in-house installers with no subcontractors. Then ask how the company preps a new slab versus an old one; the answer tells you a lot. Put us to that test at (214) 550-9809, or ask for a quote in writing.
University Park homes get the same 15-year written warranty as every residential floor we install, and the paperwork is yours to keep with the house records. If a floor needs attention later, you call our Garland shop and our own installers come back out to look at it in person.
