  • What is epoxy coating and how does it work?

    Epoxy coating is a durable, protective layer made from a two-part resin system that hardens into a strong, chemical-resistant surface. It’s commonly used on concrete floors to enhance durability, appearance, and resistance to wear and chemicals.

  • What surfaces can epoxy be applied to?

    Epoxy coatings are most commonly applied to concrete, but they can also be used on wood, metal, and tile surfaces with proper surface preparation. We even put Epoxy Coatings on kitchen counters, and will work with you to match your current color scheme! 

  • How long does an epoxy floor last?

    With proper installation and maintenance, epoxy floors can last 10–20 years or more, depending on the level of traffic and environmental conditions.

  • How long does the installation process take?

    Most residential epoxy flooring projects take 1–3 days, including surface preparation, application, and curing time. Larger or more complex projects may take longer.

  • Is epoxy flooring safe and non-slip?

    Yes, epoxy coatings can be made slip-resistant by adding texture or anti-slip additives. This is especially important for garages, commercial kitchens, and industrial areas.

  • Can epoxy be applied over existing coatings or damaged concrete?

    In many cases, yes. However, the existing surface must be properly cleaned, repaired, and prepped to ensure adhesion. A site inspection is usually recommended.

  • How do I maintain my epoxy-coated floor?

    Epoxy floors are low-maintenance. Regular sweeping and occasional mopping with a mild detergent will keep them looking great. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive tools.

  • Is epoxy coating resistant to chemicals and stains?

    Yes, epoxy is highly resistant to oil, gasoline, bleach, cleaners, and other chemicals, making it ideal for garages, warehouses, and more.

  • What colors and finishes are available?

    We offer a wide range of colors, textures, and finishes, including high-gloss, matte, metallic, and decorative flakes (including sparkle!). Custom designs are also available.

  • How long do I have to wait to use the floor after the coating is applied?

    In light traffic areas, you can walk on the coating within four to six hours, according to our experts. For garage floors, we recommend waiting 72 hours. According to Bob Vila, solid epoxy floors can last up to 20 years. Call us today to learn even more about concrete floor coatings.

  • Can epoxy be applied over existing coatings or damaged concrete?
