Questions, answered straight

Both are resin coatings. Epoxy cures slowly, which is why installers avoid direct sun during application, and it can yellow under UV over time. Polyaspartic cures fast, stays clear in sunlight, and stays flexible enough to handle Arizona's temperature swings without delaminating. See the full comparison on /polyaspartic-vs-epoxy/.

It depends on the slab and the exposure. An interior garage floor with no direct sun can do fine with epoxy. A slab that sees full afternoon sun through an open door, or hot tires rolling in straight off a summer street, is exactly the condition epoxy struggles with. We will tell you honestly which system fits your situation, not just sell the one with the better margin.

Hot-tire pickup is what happens when a warm tire rolls onto a coated floor and lifts or wrinkles the coating as it cools — a common epoxy failure in the Valley. Polyaspartic resin stays chemically stable at higher temperatures, so it does not soften enough for a tire to grab it in the same way.

Usually not directly. Old coatings, especially failing ones, are ground off first so the new system bonds to sound concrete instead of to a layer that is already lifting. We inspect the existing coating before quoting and tell you what prep it needs.

Full flake broadcast in dozens of color blends, solid polyaspartic in a range of standard colors, and metallic epoxy for a one-of-a-kind pearlescent finish. We bring physical samples to your estimate so you are choosing from the actual material, not a screen.

Yes. Exterior systems are formulated and textured differently than interior garage floors — they need to handle direct sun, monsoon rain, chlorine splash and bare feet without becoming a slip hazard. See /patio-pool-deck-coatings/.

Yes, primarily for commercial and industrial spaces — showrooms, warehouses and retail floors where a ground-and-densified concrete finish makes more sense than a coating. See /polished-concrete/.

Most two-car garages are ground, coated and flaked in a single day. You can walk on the floor the next day. Vehicle traffic waits a bit longer — ask for the exact return-to-service window when you get your quote, since it depends on temperature and the system used.

Yes. The floor needs to be empty, including wall-mounted shelving that sits low enough to interfere with grinding. We will tell you exactly what to move when we schedule the install.

Foot traffic is fine well before vehicle traffic — the coating needs longer to cure to the point it can handle a parked car's weight and heat without marking. We give you exact times for both when we schedule your install, since cure speed shifts with temperature and humidity.

Most residential slabs have some cracking, and it does not disqualify a floor from being coated. Cracks are chased out and filled with a flexible repair compound before grinding, so they are far less likely to telegraph through the finished coat. Structural cracks or significant slab movement get flagged before we quote, not after.

Sweep or dust-mop regularly and mop with water or a neutral pH cleaner when it needs it. Avoid citrus-based degreasers and abrasive pads, which can dull the topcoat over years of use. That is close to all the maintenance a polyaspartic system needs.

Concrete slabs on grade constantly move water vapor up through the surface. If a coating goes down over a slab pushing more vapor than it can handle, the coating can blister or delaminate from underneath. We test moisture before quoting and add a mitigating primer when the reading calls for it.

Price is driven by square footage, the condition of the existing slab, the system you choose, and color complexity. A bare, crack-free slab costs less to prep than one that needs grinding, patching and moisture mitigation first. See ranges by system on /garage-floor-coating-cost-arizona/, and request a written quote for your specific floor.

Yes. Tell us about your project on /free-estimate/ and we will follow up to schedule a photo review or an on-site visit, then send a written quote. There is no obligation to book.

We are based in Glendale and work across the West Valley: Peoria, Phoenix, Scottsdale, Surprise, Goodyear, Avondale, Litchfield Park, Sun City and Buckeye. See /service-areas/ for details by city.

Yes. Residential and commercial installs carry separate written warranty terms covering peeling, delamination and UV yellowing on a properly maintained floor. Read the full terms, coverage and what voids it on /warranty/.

We hold an Arizona Registrar of Contractors licence and carry liability insurance. Ask us for our current ROC number and proof of insurance when you request an estimate, and verify any contractor's licence directly with the ROC before you sign anything.

Yes. We run a trade partner program for production and custom home builders, general contractors on tenant improvement work, property and facility managers, and auto dealers and shops. See /trade-partners/ or go straight to /request-a-quote/.

Use /request-a-quote/ instead of the residential estimate form. Tell us your role, project type, square footage, location and timeline, and we will follow up with lead time, crew capacity and pricing for the scope you describe.
