Frequently Asked Questions

Epoxy flooring is a durable surface coating made from a combination of resin and hardener. When mixed together, these components create a chemical bond that results in a rigid plastic material that bonds extremely well to most base layers. The epoxy coating creates a high-performance, smooth, and seamless surface that is resistant to chemicals, stains, impacts, and heavy traffic.

With proper installation and maintenance, epoxy flooring can last 15-20+ years in residential settings and 10-15 years in high-traffic commercial or industrial environments. The longevity depends on factors like traffic levels, proper installation, and regular maintenance. Our premium epoxy systems are designed for maximum durability and longevity.

Most residential projects take 2-3 days from start to finish, including surface preparation, application, and curing time. Commercial and industrial projects vary based on square footage and complexity. The floor is typically ready for light foot traffic within 24 hours and full use within 72 hours. We'll provide a detailed timeline during your consultation.

While high-gloss epoxy can be slippery when wet, we offer several solutions to prevent this. We can add anti-slip additives to the topcoat, create a textured finish, or apply decorative flakes that provide traction. For areas prone to moisture, we always recommend and include slip-resistant options to ensure safety.

Epoxy can be applied over concrete, tile, wood, and some existing coatings, as long as the surface is properly prepared. The existing surface must be structurally sound, clean, and properly prepped for adhesion. We'll assess your current flooring during the consultation and recommend the best approach for optimal results.

Epoxy floors are incredibly easy to maintain. For daily cleaning, simply sweep or dust mop to remove debris. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and water solution with a mop. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing pads. Spills should be wiped up promptly to prevent staining. With minimal maintenance, your epoxy floor will maintain its beautiful appearance for years.

Both are excellent coating options, but they have different properties. Epoxy is more rigid and provides excellent chemical resistance, making it ideal for most applications. Polyurea cures faster and is more flexible, making it better for areas with temperature fluctuations. We'll recommend the best option based on your specific needs, climate, and intended use.

Costs vary based on square footage, surface condition, coating type, and design complexity. Standard residential garage floors typically range from $4-$8 per square foot, while decorative metallic finishes can range higher. Commercial and industrial projects are quoted based on specific requirements. Contact us for a free, no-obligation quote tailored to your project.

Yes, epoxy floors can be repaired if damaged, though the process depends on the extent of damage. Minor scratches and chips can often be filled and blended. Larger damaged areas may require grinding down and recoating that section. In most cases, proper installation and care will prevent damage, but we're always available to assess and repair if needed.

Yes! We stand behind our work with comprehensive warranties. Our standard residential installations come with a 5-year warranty on workmanship and materials.
