Frequently Asked Questions

Light foot traffic is typically possible within 24 hours of the final coat, but full cure — meaning the floor is ready for vehicle traffic and heavy use — generally takes 5 to 7 days. Cure time depends on the specific coating system, ambient temperature, and humidity in your space. Polyaspartic coatings cure faster than standard epoxy systems, which is one reason they are a popular choice for occupied commercial spaces. We tell you the exact expected timeline for your project before work begins.

Epoxy coatings are a two-part resin system that bonds tightly to concrete and provides a hard, chemical-resistant surface — they are well suited to garages, basements, and industrial floors. Polyaspartic coatings are a newer technology that cures significantly faster, handles UV exposure without yellowing, and can be applied in a wider temperature range. Both systems are durable, but the right choice depends on your space, timeline, and how the floor will be used. We go over both options during your assessment so you can make an informed decision.

Yes — clearing the space of stored items, vehicles, and furniture is the responsibility of the property owner before our crew arrives. Removal of stored items or vehicles is not included in our scope of work. Having the floor fully accessible on the day of installation allows us to complete surface preparation and coating without interruption and ensures the best possible result.

The four main cost variables are square footage, the condition of the existing concrete, the amount of surface preparation and repair required, and the coating system and finish you select. A floor with significant cracking, spalling, or moisture issues requires more prep work, which affects the total price. Because concrete condition varies widely from one slab to the next, we provide a written estimate after an on-site assessment rather than quoting a flat rate.

Surface preparation is the single most important factor in how long a coating lasts. Even a high-quality coating will delaminate or peel prematurely if applied to a slab that has not been properly ground, cleaned, and repaired. Our process always includes mechanical grinding and any necessary crack or spall repair before the first coat goes down. Skipping or shortcutting prep is the most common reason epoxy floors fail — it is why we assess every concrete slab individually before recommending a system.

In most cases, existing coatings or paint must be removed before a new system is applied, because adhesion to a previously coated surface is unreliable. Our concrete assessment identifies what is on the slab and what preparation is required to achieve a clean, bondable surface. If the existing coating is well-adhered and compatible, we will tell you — but we will not apply a new system over a surface that puts the long-term result at risk.
