Why garage paint and a floor coating system aren't the same thing
The kits sold at hardware stores are mostly thin one-part or water-based products meant to be rolled onto concrete that has been washed or acid-etched. A professional coating system is different in three ways that matter. The concrete is opened up mechanically, usually with a diamond grinder, so the coating has a rough, clean surface to grip. The slab is tested for moisture before anything goes down, because moisture coming up through concrete is one of the most common reasons coatings blister and let go. And the system is built in layers: a primer or basecoat that grips the concrete and deals with moisture, often a broadcast of decorative flake or quartz, and a clear topcoat that takes the wear, the chemicals and the sunlight.
None of that is visible the day the floor is finished. A floor that skipped the grinding and the moisture test can look exactly like one that didn't, for a while. That's why the questions you ask before work starts matter more than the photos on anyone's website.
How the connection works
1. You ask for a callback and tell us where the floor is. 2. We pass your request to one independent local concrete coating specialist serving your area. We don't send it to a list of companies. 3. The specialist calls or texts you, then looks at the slab in person, including a moisture test. 4. The specialist gives you a written proposal directly. You decide whether to go ahead.
We don't install coatings, we don't employ installers, and we don't take a cut of your job. Read how it works for the details, and our honest guide to epoxy and polyaspartic before you compare bids.
