FAQ

  • How long does a garage floor coating last?

    A professionally installed epoxy or polyaspartic garage floor can last 10–20 years or more with proper preparation and normal residential use. The key factor in longevity is surface prep — which is why we mechanically grind the concrete to ensure proper bonding.

  • What’s the difference between epoxy and polyaspartic coatings?

    Epoxy is known for its strength and adhesion, while polyaspartic offers faster curing times, UV stability, and added flexibility. Many high-performance systems use a combination of both to maximize durability, appearance, and long-term performance.

  • Will the floor be slippery when wet?

    No. Full flake systems naturally add texture, and optional slip-resistant additives can be incorporated into the topcoat to improve traction — especially important for garages that see moisture, rain, or snow.

  • How long does installation take?

    Most residential garage floors are completed in 1–2 days, depending on size, condition of the concrete, and coating system selected. Walk-on time is typically within 24 hours, with vehicle use shortly after curing.

  • Can this be installed over cracked or damaged concrete?

    Yes. Minor cracks and surface imperfections can be repaired prior to coating. During your on-site evaluation, we assess the concrete condition and recommend the appropriate repairs to ensure a clean, durable finish.

  • This is a frequently asked question?

    When installed correctly with proper surface preparation and quality materials, hot tire pickup is not an issue. This is one of the most common failures of low-quality or improperly installed coatings — which we specifically design our systems to prevent.

  • Is a garage floor coating hard to maintain?

    Not at all. Coated floors are seamless, non-porous, and easy to clean. Regular sweeping and occasional mopping with mild soap is all that’s needed to keep the floor looking great.

  • Do garage floor coatings work in all temperatures?

    Yes — but temperature matters during installation. Certain coating systems are designed to perform in a wider range of conditions. We schedule installations based on weather and slab temperature to ensure proper curing and performance.

  • What colors or styles are available?

    We offer a variety of full flake blends ranging from light, modern grays to darker, bold tones. Flake finishes provide a consistent, high-end look while also helping conceal dirt and minor imperfections.

  • Will moisture under the concrete cause issues?

    Moisture can affect any coating if not addressed properly. That’s why we evaluate moisture conditions during the walkthrough and can incorporate moisture-mitigating primers when needed to protect the system long-term.

  • Is this just for garages, or can it be used elsewhere?

    Garage floor coatings are extremely versatile and work well in basements, workshops, patios, home gyms, and utility rooms — anywhere concrete needs a durable, finished surface.

  • How much does a garage floor coating cost?

    Pricing varies based on square footage, concrete condition, and coating system selected. We provide transparent pricing ranges and a detailed quote after an on-site evaluation so there are no surprises.

  • Why does surface preparation matter so much?

    Surface prep is the most important step in the entire process. Mechanical diamond grinding removes contaminants and opens the concrete pores, allowing the coating to properly bond. Skipping this step is the number one reason coatings fail.

  • Do you offer warranties?

    Yes. We stand behind our work and the systems we install. Warranty details vary by system and application and will be explained during your consultation.
