Garage Epoxy Flooring in Central Florida - The Ultimate Guide

The duration of the epoxy flooring process depends on several factors, including the condition of the concrete and the type of system being installed. For a standard two-car garage with no major issues, the full process takes about 2 days. 

We prefer not to rush into a one-day timeframe, as our experience has shown that proper preparation and adequate curing time produce far better long-term results than any fast-dry systems that don't fully penetrate the concrete.

Epoxy flooring is known for its durability and longevity. When properly installed and maintained, epoxy flooring can last for many years, even decades. The lifespan of epoxy flooring depends on various factors, including the quality of the materials used, the level of preparation done on the substrate, and the amount of traffic and wear the floor receives.

In normal residential settings with normal foot traffic, epoxy flooring can last anywhere from 10 to 20 years.

Yes, epoxy flooring can be installed outside, but it's important to note that all coatings are not designed to withstand exposure to UV rays and outdoor environments, which can cause the epoxy to fade, discolor, or degrade over time.

For best results, we recommend installations in covered or semi-covered areas (such as patios, lanais, or carports). In direct sunlight or uncovered locations, we typically use polyaspartic or Moisture Vapor Barrier epoxy systems that are better suited for exterior conditions.

There are several reasons why you should not install epoxy over tile:

1. Adhesion issues: unless the tile is properly prepped all the way down into the grout lines then it's unprepped.
2. Uneven surfaces: tile surfaces are not always perfectly flat and smooth. 
3. Moisture trapped: if there is any moisture present beneath the tile, it can become trapped beneath the tile and epoxy coating. This can lead to long term damage and failure. As well as mold growth etc.
4. Expense: you will spend more money trying to create a level surface and hide the grout lines by filling with additional coats of epoxy. It is more cost effective to have the tile removed.
5. Warranty: if there is a failure the very first thing a manufacturer will look at is the substrate. If there is tile present it automatically negates any manufacturer warranty.

No, it's 10x or 50x stronger - those kinds of claims are usually just aggressive marketing.

What actually matters is using the right product for the job. We've been in the business over 14 years and focus on installing proven, high-performance resinous systems that deliver excellent real-world results. We don't rely on exaggerated claims. Instead, we prioritize proper preparation and quality materials, and professional installation. This combination gives us floors that last.

We have perfected our dust capturing process, ensuring that approximately 97% of the dust generated during floor processing is effectively contained. While it is inevitable that some dust may still be present, we go through great lengths to minimize any potential escape of dust particles from our equipment, thereby prioritizing a cleaner, healthier work environment.

Absolutely not and let's go over the reasons why:

They can often be misleading and have a number of limitations and conditions that make them difficult to actually utilize.

Look at the fine print that limits the coverage to specific parts or components of the product. Is the coverage prorated meaning that as time goes on, the coverage decreases. So, if a product fails after a certain period of time, the warranty may only cover a small portion of the repair or replacement. What about the exclusions and restrictions?

Ultimately as a consumer you need to know if it sounds too good to be true it is. We are honest and upfront with our clients. On residential epoxy you will get a five-year warranty from a company who has been at it over twelve years. The math just makes sense. If you have a problem call us, we aren't going anywhere.
