Frequently Asked Questions
We coat residential garages, basements, and home interiors as well as commercial and industrial spaces — warehouses, distribution centers, manufacturing plants, auto shops and dealerships, commercial kitchens, food processing facilities, machine shops, breweries, and any environment that demands a durable, high-performance floor.
Most residential garages and smaller commercial jobs are completed in a single day. Return to service is fast — our polyurea/polyaspartic systems cure in 24 hours, so you're back on the floor the next morning. For large commercial and industrial projects, we work nights and weekends and can phase installations in sections to keep your operation running.
Yes — that's exactly what our systems are engineered for. Our polyurea base coats are 4x stronger than standard epoxy, with impact and abrasion ratings designed for heavy forklift traffic, pallet jacks, and industrial equipment. We specify the correct build thickness and topcoat for your load requirements.
Yes. For commercial kitchens, food processing plants, and beverage facilities, we install NSF-rated, antimicrobial coating systems that meet USDA and FDA compliance requirements. These floors are seamless, easy to sanitize, and chemically resistant to cleaning agents.
Polyurea is 4x stronger, more flexible, UV-stable, and cures 5x faster than epoxy. Standard epoxy yellows in sunlight, is brittle under impact, and takes days to cure — not ideal for a garage or busy facility. Our polyurea/polyaspartic systems are the industry standard for both residential garages and demanding commercial environments.
We test moisture vapor transmission (MVER) on every slab before coating. If elevated moisture is detected, we install a moisture vapor barrier (MVB) primer as the first coat. This is critical in basements, garages on grade, cold storage, below-grade spaces, and older buildings — skipping it is how coatings fail.
We repair all cracks, pitting, and spalling during our standard prep phase. For oil-saturated concrete (common in auto shops and machine shops), we use specialized industrial degreasers and shot-blast the surface to achieve a clean, mechanically prepared profile. Proper prep is everything — we never skip it.
Pricing depends on surface condition, square footage, system specification, and site access. Every job is different — we provide free, itemized estimates so you know exactly what you're paying for before anything starts. Contact us for a no-obligation quote.
We are based in Harrisburg, PA and serve residential and commercial clients throughout Central Pennsylvania — including York, Lancaster, Lebanon, Carlisle, Chambersburg, Mechanicsburg, Camp Hill, Hershey, and surrounding communities. Contact us to confirm we cover your area.
Yes. Our residential and commercial installations come with a written warranty against delamination and peeling. Warranty terms vary by system and project scope — we'll detail this in your proposal. Our prep standards and material quality mean warranty claims are extremely rare.
When installed with proper mechanical prep, a polyurea/polyaspartic system typically lasts 10–20+ years even in heavy-use environments. Residential garages can expect even longer lifespans with minimal maintenance. Our systems significantly outperform standard epoxy, which typically begins failing in 3–7 years under regular use.
Yes — phased installations are common for warehouses, distribution centers, and manufacturing facilities that can't fully vacate. We section off and coat one zone at a time, allowing operations to continue in the rest of the building. Each section is typically back in service within 24 hours.
Both. New concrete needs a proper cure period — typically 28 days minimum — before coating. We test moisture vapor emission and surface pH before proceeding. Existing floors in any condition — cracked, stained, oil-contaminated, or previously coated — can be assessed and coated after the appropriate surface preparation.
A floor coating (polyurea/polyaspartic) is a protective layer applied on top of the concrete — it adds color, chemical resistance, and impact protection. Polished concrete uses diamond tooling and a hardener to work into the slab itself — there's no topcoat to chip or peel. Coatings are better for heavy chemical and impact environments; polished concrete suits showrooms, retail, and low-maintenance applications. We install both.
