Most commercial installations take two to five days depending on square footage, the condition of your concrete, and the system being installed. Surface preparation is the largest part of that timeline — and the part that determines how long your floor lasts. Our custom-built, environmentally controlled preparation equipment is designed for high-production work, so we move through large spaces faster than crews running rented gear. You'll get a firm schedule at your free site assessment, before any work begins.

Usually not entirely. For facilities that need to stay operational, we plan phased installations — coating your floor in sections so production, traffic, and storage shift around the work instead of stopping for it. We also schedule around your hours: nights, weekends, and planned shutdown windows.

Standard epoxy systems typically accept foot traffic within 24 hours and full equipment or vehicle traffic within a few days. If downtime costs you money, ask about our polyaspartic systems — fast-cure topcoats that can return a floor to service in hours instead of days. We spec the cure schedule for your exact system in writing so you can plan operations around it.

Three things drive your price: total square footage (larger floors cost less per foot — setup and equipment costs spread out), the condition of your concrete, and the system your environment requires. Beware of quotes that look too good: low bids usually mean thin water-based products and skipped preparation, which is why those floors fail early. We provide a firm, line-itemed price after a free on-site assessment — no estimating from photos.

Epoxy systems — the workhorse for manufacturing, warehousing, and aerospace. From 16-mil coatings to ¼-inch overlayments, including quartz and simulated terrazzo finishes, in smooth, orange peel, or non-skid textures.

Polyaspartic systems — fast cure and UV-stable, best when downtime is expensive. Specialty systems — conductive (ESD) floors, chemical-resistant systems, VOC/USDA/FDA-compliant coatings, and our patented Permanent Industrial Tile System. Overlayments & restoration — stamped concrete, staining, patching, polishing, and cove base & containment.

You don't need to know which one you need — that's what the site assessment is for.

Because preparation is most of the job — and nearly every coating failure traces back to skipping it. Concrete must be mechanically profiled (we diamond-grind, not acid-etch) so the coating bonds to the slab instead of sitting on top of it. When you compare bids, ask each contractor specifically how they prepare the slab; the answer tells you how long the floor will last.

In almost every case, yes. Crack repair, spall patching, and contamination removal are part of our preparation process, not a separate problem. Decades-old industrial slabs with oil saturation and failed previous coatings are exactly the floors we've built our process around. The assessment identifies any repairs needed and prices them up front — no surprises mid-project.

Moisture vapor pushing up through a slab is one of the most common causes of premature coating failure — and one of the most preventable. We test slabs for moisture before specifying any system, and when readings are elevated, we install a moisture mitigation layer engineered for it. If a contractor doesn't mention moisture testing in their bid, that's a red flag.

They don't have to be. We build slip resistance into the system to match your environment — anti-slip aggregate in topcoats for wet or greasy areas, quartz aggregate where OSHA-conscious traction matters, smoother finishes where carts and pallet jacks need to roll easily. We can also install safety line striping, zone markings, and walkway designations as part of the system.

Yes — specialty systems are a core part of what we do. VOC/USDA/FDA-compliant coatings for food, beverage, and pharmaceutical facilities; conductive (ESD) flooring for electronics and aerospace environments where static control protects product; chemical-resistant systems; and cove base and containment applications. If your facility has a compliance requirement, bring the spec to the site assessment and we'll match a system to it.

Our installed systems are backed by transferable lifetime warranties — and because one company controls the preparation, the product, and the application, there's never a question of who stands behind your floor. The warranty transfers with the property, which matters at sale or lease time. Ask us for the full warranty terms during your assessment.

A properly prepared and professionally installed commercial system lasts for decades with simple maintenance — routine sweeping and mopping or auto-scrubbing is typically all it takes. No waxing, no special treatments. And because our floors are engineered to be economically re-coated, a floor nearing the end of a hard service life gets renewed without starting over.
