Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about concrete coatings, installation timelines, and why true surface preparation is non-negotiable.

How much does epoxy garage flooring cost in Minnesota?

The cost depends on the square footage of your space, the condition of the concrete, and the specific system you choose (such as a full flake, solid color, or metallic finish). Because we repair cracks, fix pitting, and perform dustless diamond grinding before applying any coating, every slab requires a slightly different level of preparation. We provide free, exact, no-pressure quotes on-site so you know the exact number. We also offer 12 months interest-free financing to make the right system affordable today.

How long does a professionally installed floor coating last?

When installed correctly, a professional concrete coating will easily last 15 to 20 years, and often much longer. The reason DIY kits peel within a year is due to poor surface preparation and thin materials. Because we mechanically grind the concrete to open the pores and use industrial-grade Lab Surface base coats sealed with Surecrete polyaspartic topcoats, our epoxy flooring systems achieve a permanent mechanical bond that outlasts the concrete itself.

Will Minnesota road salt and freeze-thaw cycles ruin the coating?

No. Bare concrete absorbs road salt, moisture, and magnesium chloride, which freeze and expand, causing the surface to crack and spall. Our polyaspartic and polyurea topcoats are 100% non-porous and chemical-resistant. They block moisture and salt at the surface, protecting the concrete underneath and making winter cleanup as easy as running a squeegee out the garage door.

Why shouldn't I just use a hardware store epoxy kit?

Hardware store kits rely on acid etching for preparation, which does not properly open the concrete pores for adhesion. They also use water-based epoxy that goes on thin and dries brittle. Hot tires from summer driving will easily melt and lift these cheap coatings. We use heavy-duty, professional-grade resins and dustless diamond grinders. The difference is a floor that you never have to redo.

Does coating my garage floor actually provide a good ROI?

Yes. From a real estate perspective, a finished, clean garage is a massive selling point that sets your home apart from others on the market. More importantly, it provides a functional ROI by protecting your concrete from severe damage. Repairing and coating a slab is significantly cheaper than the massive expense of tearing out and pouring a brand new concrete floor a few years down the line.

How long does the installation take, and when can I park my car on it?

Most of our residential garage and basement projects are fully completed within our standard 2-day install window. Because we use advanced polyaspartic topcoats, the floor cures rapidly. You can typically walk on the surface within 12 hours of completion, and you can park your vehicles on it within 48 hours.

How do I clean and maintain my new coated floor?

Maintenance is incredibly easy. Because the floor is seamless and non-porous, dust and dirt do not stick. For regular cleaning, sweeping or using a leaf blower works perfectly. For winter salt or mud, just use warm water, a mild neutral detergent, and a foam squeegee. You will never need to wax or polish the floor to keep it looking sharp.
