Welcome to the FAQ page for Colorado Springs Garage Floors! We understand that choosing the right flooring can be an overwhelming task. We have compiled this list to help address your concerns. If you have a question we have not covered, please give us a call.

Preparation & Process

How does the process work?

First, we start by prepping your floors using our diamond bit grinder and vacuum. This step is important as it prepares the surface to effectively accept the polyaspartic. Next, we take care of any cracks that may be present. Once that is done, we apply a primer coat followed by a pigmented coat and broadcast the flake. Finally, we finish off with a clear topcoat. This 3-coat process ensures that you receive the highest quality floor coating available in the market.

I have new concrete, do you still have to prep?

Properly preparing the concrete is essential for both new and existing installations. It is a critical step in the process, and its significance cannot be overstated. Grinding the floor opens up microscopic pores, which in turn improves the adhesion of the polyaspartic coating. As a result, the flooring becomes more durable and of higher quality.

Can you fix the cracks in my floor?

Yes, we ensure that the damaged areas are properly prepared and repaired to ensure that our product adheres to your floor effectively. This will result in a long-lasting floor. It's important to note that this is a cosmetic fix and does not address any structural issues.

My floor has oil stains. Will they be visible?

Our products are specifically designed to prevent stains from spreading to the surface during use. In addition, we will thoroughly clean and prepare the floor beforehand to ensure its cleanliness.

I have an old coating, does it have to be removed?

Yes, we use a diamond bit grinder to remove the old coating and ensure a smooth surface for applying the new coating. This step is crucial because it helps to open up microscopic pores, allowing the polyaspartic coating to adhere more effectively and last longer.

Is there a lot of dust?

When we grind concrete floors, a lot of dust is created. To deal with this problem, we use industrial vacuum cleaners that are connected to the grinder while we are grinding. We make sure to vacuum the floor thoroughly after each grinding pass before moving on to the next step.

Can you level my floor?

While we may not be able to level the floor, we can make it smoother by using our coating system. This coating will adapt to the floor's current profile once applied. If you prefer to level the floor before we install the coating, we can provide recommendations for specialized contractors who can assist you with this task.

Polyaspartic vs. Epoxy

Is polyaspartic coating better than epoxy?

Our polyaspartic coating offers several advantages over epoxy. It provides superior color and gloss retention, and it offers a wide range of chemical resistance. It also boasts 4 times more abrasion resistance than epoxy floor coatings. Unlike epoxy, our polyaspartic coating does not yellow or chalk over time. It is incredibly durable and maintains its quality even when exposed to UV rays.

Will my floor coating turn yellow?

No, polyaspartic does not yellow like epoxy does. Our polyaspartic coating is superior to epoxy for several reasons. It has better color and gloss retention, a wider range of chemical resistance, and is four times more resistant to abrasion. Additionally, it does not yellow or chalk over time. Our polyaspartic coating is extremely durable, UV stable, and able to withstand various weather conditions. It is also waterproof.

Durability & Care

How durable is your product in high-traffic areas?

Our polyaspartic floors are highly durable. We use the same industrial-strength products for both residential and commercial floors, ensuring their long-lasting quality.

Will I have to reseal my coating?

Our polyaspartic residential coating is designed to last for the entire lifespan of your professionally installed floor. To ensure its longevity, it is important to follow our cleaning and maintenance instructions. That's why we provide a lifetime warranty on all our garage floor coatings.

Are your floor coatings slippery?

The polyaspartic floor coating is designed to be non-slippery, thanks to the added texture from the flake coating. However, if you have concerns about slipperiness, we offer the option of using aluminum oxide.

How do I clean my new garage floor?

When it comes to regular cleaning, all you need is a regular household broom. In case you need to do a deeper clean, just grab a hose and spray down the floor. Then, use a single or double-edge squeegee to remove any excess water. If you prefer to use a detergent, it's best to go for a mild biodegradable household cleaner.

Is your coating kids/pets friendly?

Once the product is applied and fully cured, there are no more ongoing chemical reactions. This makes it safe for both pets and children.

Logistics & Service Area

How long does it take to finish a garage?

Our superior 3-coating process ensures a high-quality finish for your garage floor. While some competitors may complete the job in just one day by applying only 2 coats, we take 1 Β½ to 2 days to ensure a longer-lasting and more durable outcome.

When can I walk and drive on my floor after installation?

After the crew finishes, give it a 6-hour window before you walk on it (check if it's no longer tacky). You can start driving on the floor once 48 hours have passed. Please note that if the weather is below freezing, the waiting time may be extended by an additional 24 hours to ensure all layers are fully set.

Do I have to remove everything out of my garage?

Yes, we require that the floor is completely clear of any items before we start.

How much does it cost to coat my floor?

The price depends on factors like the size of your garage, the condition of the concrete, and the amount of preparation work needed. To determine the cost, we provide free personalized floor estimates customized to your specific needs.
