How do you determine price?
In most cases we charge by the square foot. We will multiply the size of your garage by the square footage. The square footage is a measurement of the floor and the stem wall. In short, any concrete we apply the coating system to, is a part of the square footage. In some rare cases, we charge by the job / project when it’s something unique. There are also some upgrade services we offer that are a flat line item charge rather than a square footage rate.
How long will my Epoxy floor last?
Epoxy Floor longevity results can vary from company to company, but we offer a lifetime warranty & we have customers with floors that are over 17 years old that still look beautiful. Even from heavy use in a residential property, these floors simply do not wear out. Wear and tear is really only discussed in our industry when talking about harsh industrial and military facilities. You may see wear marks from a constant high traffic area of forklift traffic or in a manufacturing facility that is constantly spilling harsh chemicals in the same spot for months and years. Still, in most cases, the coating doesn’t fail, it just simply shows the signs of use.
Does my garage need to be empty or can you empty it for me?
We are not a licensed moving company and prefer you have the garage floor clear for us when we arrive to install your Epoxy Floor. Especially in the case of a 1 day install, there is only enough time for us to perform the install. We will however, help you out in anyway we can.
How long will it take to complete an epoxy garage floor?
95% of our residential epoxy floor installs will take 2 days. We ask for 3 days to be safe.
Will my floor yellow?
No. All of our Polyaspartic floor coatings are UV stable.
Will the coating peel up under my car tires?
No. When proper diamond grinding is performed for concrete prep, and high quality Epoxy Coatings and Polyaspartic Coatings are used, this is never an issue.
How do you prep the concrete before installing Epoxy?
We diamond grind the concrete to the national standard specification of CSP 3-5 required for Epoxy Coatings & Polyaspartic Coatings.
Do you offer a warranty?
Yes! In fact we have the best Epoxy Floor warranty compared to our competition. 10 years & Lifetime.
Will my new Epoxy floor be slippery?
Yes & No. Epoxy floors have incredible traction when the surface is dry. However, they can be incredibly slippery when there is liquid on the surface. The good news is, we offer a very elegant anti skid additive that can be incorporated in the Polyaspartic Top Coat to create traction in the event you have something wet on the surface.
Is Epoxy flooring easy to clean?
Yes! Epoxy Floors are very easy to clean! In fact the reason epoxy floor coatings were invented, was to aid in the ability to clean up spills easily.
How should I clean my Epoxy floor?
When cleaning your Epoxy Floor, we recommend using 5 gallons of hot water per tablespoon of Dawn dish soap. You can spot clean with stronger cleaners but do not clean your entire floor with anything that is strong and could leave a heavy residue behind. Avoid degreasers. Also avoid using any abrasive cleaners or abrasive scrubbing tools. Although you wont typically see any immediate problems, over the years, this can hurt the beauty of your floor.
Will my Epoxy floor scratch easily?
No, Epoxy Polyaspartic floors are very durable and are chemically formulated to hold up against abuse. However they are not bulletproof. They can scratch and scuff. We recommend if you ever move anything, do not drag/slide it across the floor.
How soon can I drive on my new Epoxy floor?
Based on the manufacturer datasheet of the Epoxy Coatings and Polyaspartic Coatings we use, it is recommended to wait 48 hours before introducing vehicular traffic. We however, recommend waiting 72 hours after the last coat goes down to be safe. Since dry time can be longer in some cases because these products have temperature dependent dry times, we add an additional day.
Why do some epoxy floors have more shine than others?
The short answer is, if you are comparing Epoxy Garage Floor pictures from different local companies, many times it’s simply the lighting and angle of the picture taken. In other cases, some companies have different protocols on how thick they go down on the final Polyaspartic clear top coat. We are known for our extra thick coating methods, and we also offer a Showroom Glass Coat as an upgrade for those who want that extra WOW factor.
How do you handle the Post Tension stamp on the concrete?
Post tension stamps are created by the builder when the concrete is still wet. It serves as a warning to other contractors not to saw cut into the concrete. We leave the stamp a solid color so it is still visible. Keep in mind, in some cases, if the builder returned to stamp the concrete too late, the quality of the original stamp may not be great. We are not recreating the stamp, we simply make it more visible.
