Epoxy Floor Coating Questions, Answered

Floor coatings start at $6 per square foot. The free estimate looks at your actual floor, so you know your own number before you decide.

Yes, and you are under no obligation afterward. Take it, compare it, think it over.

Which room, roughly how big ("two-car garage" is fine), what you use it for and anything you have noticed on the concrete, like cracks or old paint.

A slab's smooth top layer gives resin very little to hold on to. Grinding roughens that layer away, giving the coating a grip instead of a slick surface it may later peel from.

Most small cracks and pits can be filled and leveled first. They may still be faintly visible, depending on the finish, and a crack that is still moving should be looked at before coating.

Often, once loose or failing material has been removed. What is already on the floor is one of the first things to mention, since it changes the amount of prep.

A common rule is at least 28 days. Exact timing depends on the slab and the products being used.

A properly bonded system with the right topcoat is built to resist hot tire pickup. Thin garage paints are the products best known for lifting under tires.

Smooth gloss can be slick when wet. Flake adds some texture, and grip additives can be mixed into the topcoat for garages, entries and other damp areas.

Dust mop or sweep regularly, then use a damp mop with a mild cleaner. Wipe up chemicals and oil rather than leaving them to sit, and skip harsh acids.

It depends on the products, the temperature and whether you are walking or parking on it. Vehicles usually wait longer than foot traffic, and you will get the specific timing for your floor before work starts.

Flake is a speckled layer of colored chips that hides dust and adds texture. Metallic is a smooth, swirled, glossy finish that looks more like liquid stone.

Yes. Flake blends and metallic pigments come in a wide range, and it helps to look at samples in the actual room, since garage lighting changes how colors read.

Yes. Estimates are available for shops, showrooms, offices and other commercial concrete floors.
