Epoxy floor coating systems have three aspects to consider:

1. The quality of the floor preparation
2. The quality of the materials used
3. The quality of the installation and service

Because the top layer of concrete must be removed before the coating can be applied, proper floor preparation requires the use of expensive equipment that’s not easily accessible to homeowners and business owners. Additionally, sometimes chemical cleaning and degreasing are required if the substrate has become corrupted and grease and dirt have become embedded into the floor.

Using high-quality, professional-grade materials is key when applying an epoxy floor coating. Most store-bought products will not stand up to the heat and abrasion generated by the hot tires of a recently driven vehicle. As a team of professionals, we remove the remnants of these systems multiple times a year. We’ve seen them in highly unsightly conditions. 

The professional-grade epoxy flooring systems that High Performance Concrete Coatings installs should last 2 years or more, which makes them excellent investments. With a professional installation, you’ll enjoy an attractive surface that’s easy to clean and easy to maintain. 

The systems from High Performance Concrete Coatings range from $2.50/square foot through $7.00/square foot, which includes the products, installation, and labor. Extra fees may apply if repairs are required prior to installation. Most of our installations cost between $3.75 and $6.50/square foot. All of them are warranted for a minimum of 5 years. Decorative systems run between $5.25 and $6.00/square foot and carry a 10-year warranty. 

They are different in appearance and price. Both systems provide the same protection and wear similarly. The warranties, and the “nuts and bolts,” are the same for both systems.

Almost all our residential applications are completed within 2-3 days. After installation is complete, clean foot traffic is allowed within 24 hours. You can also begin putting your belongings back into the space. After 72 hours, auto traffic is allowed. If repair work is required prior to installation, an extra is sometimes required depending on the extent of the work.

Assuming your floor receives normal usage with minimum proper care, it should last a generation or more (up to 20 years).

At High Performance Concrete Coatings, the epoxy floor coatings we install require minimal maintenance. Almost anything other than acid can be removed with a damp cloth. Garage coatings are recommended to be slip-resistant. Slip-resistant coatings are too abrasive to mop easily. Simple Green or Dawn dish detergent is an excellent cleaner degreaser and a plastic scrub brush will remove almost anything, rinse with clean water afterward.

Anything can be fixed, not everything makes economic sense to fix. Sometimes the best option is to do nothing until you can afford to have the concrete replaced.
