Garage Floor Coating FAQ

The questions Wilmington homeowners ask us most, answered straight. Still wondering something? Call (910) 304-5773 — a real local person picks up.

The basics

What is a garage floor coating?+

A professional coating system bonds to your concrete to create a sealed, finished floor. Ours use mechanical diamond-grind prep, crack repair, a pigmented base coat, a full broadcast of decorative color flake, and a UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat.

How is this different from a DIY epoxy kit?+

Preparation and product. We diamond-grind and moisture-test the slab, then apply professional-grade polyaspartic systems — not thin, water-based epoxy over acid-etched concrete. That's the difference between a decade-plus floor and one that peels in a season.

Do you serve my area?+

We cover Wilmington and the Cape Fear region — Leland, Hampstead, Wrightsville Beach, Carolina Beach, Kure Beach, Southport, Oak Island, and nearby. Not sure if you're in range? Just ask.

Timing & install

How long does it take?+

Most single- and two-car garages are a single-day install.

How long before I can walk or drive on it?+

Walk on it in about 24 hours, park vehicles on it in about 48 hours.

Can you coat in Wilmington's humid summer?+

Yes. Polyaspartic cures well in heat and humidity, which is a major reason we favor it here over epoxy.

Durability & performance

How long will it last?+

A professional system over properly prepared concrete is built to last well over a decade of daily use. Lifespan is driven mostly by preparation quality, not the coating brand.

Will it peel or bubble?+

Not when it's prepped and moisture-tested correctly — which we do on every job. Peeling is almost always a prep or moisture failure. It's why we can warranty adhesion.

Will it yellow in the sun?+

No. Our UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat holds its color even where sunlight reaches the floor.

Is it slippery?+

The flake texture adds grip, and we can add an anti-slip additive for wet areas like pool decks and entries.

Cost & warranty

What does it cost?+

It depends on your slab's size and condition, any coating removal or crack repair, moisture needs, and the system you choose. See our cost guide, then we give you a flat, written quote.

Do you offer financing?+

We're setting up monthly financing options — ask when you request your quote, or see our financing page.

What does the warranty cover?+

A lifetime adhesion warranty, in writing: if a floor we install ever delaminates due to an adhesion failure, we make it right. Full terms come with your project.
