Do I have to be home during this project?
NO. In fact, we strongly recommend that you are not. Due to time delays due to unforeseeable situations that arise at the beginning of production, it is sometimes difficult to be predict exact arrival times. We must give every customer’s job the attention and detail they expect, which can affect the schedule. We will need access to your space, either through an open door, a garage code, an opener, or a key. Most people reset their garage code to while we are there, and reprogram their private number back when we are finished.
Will there be any dirt residue or dust due to the process?
We take every precaution to reduce the amount or airborne dust. Our grinders are equipped with wet/dry vacuums to capture as much dust as possible during the floor preparation process. However, the particles are quite fine and inevitably some dust will escape.
How long before I can park my vehicle on my newly coated garage?
Each case is different, however we recommend 24 hours before walking on the floor and 2-3 days after our installation process is complete before driving your vehicle on the coating. Technically the coating cures just like concrete and needs 30 days to fully cure.
Can you apply Garage Floor Coating floor over an existing coating?
Technically yes, but our coatings actually search out the moisture in the concrete and bond itself molecularly to the concrete. So we would need to remove the existing coating so that our coating can penetrate the concrete. This way, the only way our coatings coming up, is if the concrete itself comes up.
If I have new concrete will I need to wait to have my floor coated?
Concrete takes about 30 days, on average, to cure. After that we can apply our coating.

What temperatures can your coating work in?
We do coatings all around the country from cold climates in Michigan and Minnesota to hot climates in Florida and Arizona. Since we custom mix our coating based on the application we can coat in virtually any condition.

Will cracks appear in the coating as the concrete shifts over the years and with varying temperatures?
No, our coating contains a rubberized membrane that has over 600% elasticity. The coating will expand and contract with the concrete over the years and seasonal temperatures therefore no cracks will develop or reappear.

I see you offer a Lifetime warranty on residential applications but only a 2 year warranty on commercial. Why is that?
When you purchase an expensive appliance, like a refrigerator, and only receive a 1 year warranty on it, that does not mean it will only last one year. We only offer a 2 year warranty on commercial applications because if a defect were to occur it would happen in the first 2 years.

Does the floor get slippery?
Since we have a great selection of anti-skid additives to add to the coating, we can make the floor as smooth as glass or rougher than concrete. It depends on what the customer is using it for and their preference.

Does the anti-skid make the floor harder to clean?
Our coating with low to medium amount of anti-skid is traditionally cleaned with a mop with water, or water/vinegar mixture. If you add more aggressive anti-skid, a broom will need to be used in place of the mop, everything else stays the same.

I have a lot of cracks and loose concrete on my floor, will this coating hide or fix that?
Yes, in a full chip application, any imperfection in the concrete will be minimized or completely hidden. We repair are cracks and loose concrete with a proprietary product, that is stronger than the actual concrete, before applying our coating.

Does the concrete need to be cleaned before you apply the coating?
Yes, we ask that the floor be swept clean of most debris before we arrive.

How long does the standard coating take to apply, including preparation?
Usually 2 days for a 1-4 car garage, but each coating is different.
