Frequently Asked Questions

Flake (chip) systems, metallic epoxy, quartz broadcast, solid-color epoxy/polyaspartic, wood-look epoxy, and custom logos/inlays. We tailor build, traction, and sheen to the space.

Most residential projects wrap in 1–2 days; larger or specialty designs can take 2–3 days. Cure times vary by system and temperature—foot traffic is often within 24 hours; vehicle traffic may be 48–72 hours or per the product spec.

Owner Sean leads each project. He’s installed floor coverings and concrete coatings in Northern Illinois for 25+ years, and stays current through national trainings and collaborations with epoxy pros across the U.S.

Yes. Homes, garages, basements, patios, and pool decks; plus shops, warehouses, retail, healthcare, restaurants, and offices.

Mechanical prep matched to the system: dust-controlled diamond grinding (and shot blasting when needed), crack chasing, joint filling, and patching of pits/spalls for a clean, profiled slab and strong bond.

Yes—after the concrete has sufficiently cured. As a rule of thumb, we prefer ~28 days minimum and will evaluate moisture and surface condition before coating.

We can perform moisture evaluation and, when required, install a vapor-mitigation primer/system designed for elevated moisture. Addressing moisture up front prevents bond failures.

Non-structural cracks are repaired as part of prep. Active control/expansion joints are typically honored or filled with a flexible material based on use; we’ll recommend the right approach after inspection.

Grinding is loud, but our equipment uses dust control to keep the space clean. We protect adjacent areas and tidy up when finished.

We can add anti-slip texture to suit the space (garages, entries, pool decks). We balance traction with cleanability based on your needs.

Proper prep and quality materials are the best defense against hot-tire pickup. Our garage systems are engineered to resist it when installed on a correctly prepared surface.

Standard epoxy can amber with UV. We specify UV-stable polyaspartic/urethane topcoats (and design choices) to keep color and gloss in sun-exposed areas.

Yes—patios, steps, walkways, and pool decks with UV-stable topcoats and traction tuned for weather exposure. We verify substrate and temperature windows before scheduling.

Depends on the system and build: many residential systems finish around the 20–40 mil range (multiple coats). Quartz or heavy-duty builds can be thicker.

Hundreds of flake blends and solid colors, custom metallic effects, wood-look options, and logos/inlays. We bring samples and can match brand/RAL colors.

Each product has a temperature window. We plan installs around ambient/slab temps and may adjust materials seasonally to ensure proper cure and bond.

We select low-odor/low-VOC options when appropriate and ventilate as needed. Any odors dissipate as the coating cures.

Sweep or dust-mop regularly; damp mop with a neutral pH cleaner. Avoid harsh abrasives. Promptly wipe up chemicals or oils in garages.

Coatings resist abrasion and chemicals, but sharp impacts can still damage any floor. Use felt pads under furniture and avoid dragging heavy, sharp objects.

High-wear commercial areas may benefit from a maintenance topcoat over time. We can evaluate sheen/traction and refresh when it makes sense.

Most scratches, chips, or isolated damage can be spot-repaired. Keep a note of your color blend; we’ll match as closely as possible.

Pricing depends on square footage, system type, prep/repairs, and design. We provide a clear, itemized quote after an on-site assessment.

Lead times vary with season and project size. We respond to estimate requests quickly and schedule as soon as materials and temperatures align.

We stand behind our workmanship and the systems we install. Warranty specifics depend on use and system; we’ll outline terms on your quote.

Clear the area of personal items/vehicles. We’ll confirm any additional prep (e.g., shelving removal) during the estimate so there are no surprises.
