You can walk on your new epoxy floor in approximately 24 hours after the final topcoat application. For parking vehicles, we recommend waiting 3-5 days to allow the coating to fully cure and achieve maximum hardness.

The fast-curing polyaspartic topcoats we use significantly reduce downtime compared to traditional epoxy-only systems, getting your space back in service quickly.

Professional surface preparation is critical for a long-lasting epoxy floor. Our prep work includes:

• Diamond Grinding: Opening the concrete pores for maximum adhesion
• Crack Repair: Filling and sealing cracks to prevent future spreading
• Surface Cleaning: Removing all dust, debris, oil, and contaminants
• Moisture Testing: Ensuring proper conditions for epoxy application
• Edge Work: Detailed preparation along walls and corners

All prep work is included in your quote - no hidden charges or surprise fees.

Epoxy floors with polyaspartic topcoats are extremely durable and designed to last for many years with proper care. They're resistant to:

• Heavy vehicle traffic and hot tire pickup
• Oil, gasoline, and most household chemicals
• Impacts from dropped tools and equipment
• Stains, moisture, and abrasion
• UV rays (won't yellow like traditional epoxy)

The polyaspartic topcoat is 4x stronger than epoxy alone, providing superior protection and longevity. Many of our clients report their floors looking great 10+ years after installation.

Epoxy floors are incredibly easy to maintain:

• Regular Cleaning: Sweep or dust mop to remove dirt and debris
• Deep Cleaning: Mop with warm water and mild pH-neutral cleaner
• Spill Cleanup: Wipe up spills promptly (though staining is minimal)
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Skip acidic cleaners or abrasive scrubbers

That's it! The non-porous surface doesn't trap dirt, making cleaning quick and easy compared to bare concrete or other flooring types.

When properly installed with thorough surface preparation, epoxy floors should not peel or chip under normal use. The key factors that prevent peeling are:

• Professional Grinding: Opens the concrete surface for mechanical bonding
• Quality Materials: We use high-build commercial-grade epoxy systems
• Proper Application: Applied at correct temperatures and thickness
• Adequate Cure Time: Allowed to fully cure before use

This is why prep work is so important - it's the foundation of a durable, long-lasting floor. We never cut corners on surface preparation.

Most residential garage projects take 2-3 days from start to finish:

• Day 1: Surface grinding, crack repair, and cleaning
• Day 2: Epoxy base coat application and flake broadcast
• Day 3: Polyaspartic topcoat application

Larger commercial projects may take longer depending on square footage and complexity. We'll provide a detailed timeline in your quote.

The fast cure times minimize disruption to your daily routine.

We'll provide a detailed preparation checklist when we schedule your installation, but generally you'll need to:

• Remove all vehicles, tools, storage items, and furniture from the area
• Clear access paths for our equipment and materials
• Ensure power outlets are accessible
• Remove or protect any items near the work area from dust

We handle all the concrete preparation work, including grinding, cleaning, and repairs. You just need to clear the space for us.

It depends on the condition of the existing coating. During our free inspection, we'll assess:

• Type of existing coating (paint, sealer, old epoxy)
• Adhesion quality (is it peeling or failing?)
• Surface condition and contamination

In most cases, we recommend removing old coatings for best results. This ensures proper adhesion and prevents future failures. However, well-bonded existing epoxy can sometimes be coated over after proper preparation.

We'll provide honest recommendations based on what we see during the inspection.
