5 Questions to Ask Before You Coat Your Garage
Polyaspartic, epoxy, paint-on kits — the garage-coating market is full of options. These five questions separate a one-day install from a five-year regret.
First: how are you preparing the slab? If the answer is acid etching or a quick scrub, walk away. We diamond-grind or shotblast every floor we coat. Anything less and you are paying for a product that has nowhere to bond.
Second: is the coating UV-stable? Standard epoxies amber and chalk under Florida sun, even indirect light through a garage door window. Polyaspartic stays color-true for the life of the floor.
Third: what is the moisture vapor reading? A coating over a wet slab will blister. We test before we quote.
Fourth: is it one coat or a system? A real garage system is prime, broadcast, and topcoat — three layers, not one tinted paint.
Fifth: who is responsible if it fails? Get the warranty in writing, from the installer who actually does the work.
