As homeowners across the Chicago area gear up for summer gatherings and Fourth of July festivities, many are giving a second look to one of the most overlooked parts of the house: the garage. That’s where Level 10 Coatings comes in—a fast-growing home improvement company specializing in concrete coating solutions for garages, patios, basements, sidewalks, and even commercial properties.
On Chicago’s Morning Answer, Amy Jacobson and guest host Chris Krok spoke with Crayton Caudill, President of Level 10 Coatings, about the company’s origin, services, and what sets them apart in a competitive industry. Founded in March 2022, Level 10 has quickly established itself as a leader in high-performance concrete coatings across Chicagoland, northwest Indiana, and southwest Michigan.
The name “Level 10” comes from a blend of personal significance and a commitment to excellence. Caudill explained that the name was inspired by his business partner’s birthday and a shared belief in delivering a ten-out-of-ten customer experience.
Level 10 offers one-day installations for residential floors using advanced polyurea/polyaspartic coatings that are far more durable and UV-stable than traditional epoxy. These coatings are slip-resistant, easy to clean, and ideal for protecting concrete from salt, oil, and everyday wear—especially important in the Midwest where road salt can wreak havoc on unprotected surfaces.
The process begins with a free in-home consultation, followed by grinding the existing concrete to prepare the surface. Any cracks or pits are then filled, smoothed out, and prepped for the base coat. Customers choose their preferred “flake” color, which adds both texture and aesthetic appeal. After a short curing period, the floor is topped with a clear, durable sealant. Within 24 hours, the surface is ready for use.
Jacobson, a satisfied customer herself, shared her personal experience of transforming her cracked, stained garage floor into a clean, stylish extension of her home. She emphasized how the new surface not only looks great but is also easy to maintain—wine spills and oil stains wipe away effortlessly.
While garages are the most popular project type, Level 10 also serves commercial spaces such as warehouses, churches, banquet halls, and retail locations. Caudill noted that the coatings can be customized to match any style or need, and the team is trained to work efficiently in both residential and commercial settings.
The company also partners with other trades when a project requires more extensive concrete leveling, showing a commitment to delivering the best possible result for every client—even when that means bringing in outside help.
Beyond aesthetics, Caudill pointed out the practical benefits of coated surfaces when it comes to resale value. Older homes with stained or pitted garage floors can raise red flags during inspections, while a freshly coated floor gives buyers peace of mind and a strong first impression.
Level 10’s reputation is backed by hundreds of satisfied clients and the highest customer ratings in the region. And right now, customers who mention Amy Jacobson can receive $500 off their next project.
