Question 1

How long does an epoxy garage floor last?

Accepted Answer

A properly installed epoxy floor from Price Concrete Coatings can last 15–20 years or more in a residential garage. The key is thorough surface preparation — we diamond-grind the concrete and repair every crack before applying our multi-layer system — which is what prevents peeling, chipping, and hot-tire pickup down the road.

Question 2

How long does the installation take?

Accepted Answer

Most standard two-car garage floors are completed in one to two days. Larger commercial spaces, basements with extensive crack repair, or decorative metallic finishes may take a bit longer. We'll give you an accurate timeline with your free estimate, and we work cleanly with HEPA dust containment during prep.

Question 3

What is the difference between epoxy and polyaspartic coatings?

Accepted Answer

Epoxy is a time-tested, multi-layer system known for thickness and durability. Polyaspartic is a newer, UV-stable resin that cures fast and resists yellowing — ideal for garages and outdoor surfaces exposed to sunlight. We often recommend a hybrid system that pairs an epoxy base with a polyaspartic topcoat for the best of both.

Question 4

Do you repair cracks and pitting before coating?

Accepted Answer

Yes — every floor starts with preparation. We diamond-grind the surface to open the concrete's pores, then fill all cracks, divots, and spalling with industrial repair material. Skipping this step is the #1 reason coatings fail, so we never cut corners on prep.

Question 5

Can epoxy coatings be used in basements, patios, and commercial spaces?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Beyond garages, we install metallic epoxy in basements, UV-stable textured coatings on patios, porches, and pool decks, and heavy-duty slip-resistant systems in commercial and industrial facilities across Mid-Missouri.

Question 6

How do I maintain my new epoxy floor?

Accepted Answer

Epoxy is remarkably low-maintenance. Sweep regularly and mop with a mild detergent and warm water — avoid abrasive cleaners and citrus or vinegar-based products. Wipe up oil and chemical spills promptly. With basic care, your floor will keep its gloss for years.
