Concrete Coatings and Customization Options
Q: Which type of concrete coating is best for my space?
The right concrete coating depends on your style, color preferences, and the space’s purpose. Epoxy and polyaspartic is highly durable, and adds a sleek finish, and custom staining brings a refined look. Our team will guide you to the ideal choice based on your vision and needs.
Q: What is a concrete overlay, and where can it be applied?
A concrete overlay is a durable, thin layer applied over existing concrete, asphalt, wood, tile, or stone. This solution creates a fresh look without the cost of new concrete. We’ll walk you through the options for achieving a seamless transformation that complements your space.
Maintenance and Durability
Q: Do concrete coatings need maintenance?
Yes, regular maintenance extends the life and appearance of your concrete. We recommend occasional sealing or waxing to prevent wear and keep your floors looking new. Routine upkeep preserves your concrete’s polished look for years.
Q: How do I clean concrete floors with coatings or stains?
To clean your concrete floors, use water and a soft mop for regular cleaning. For deeper cleaning, add a mild soap. In high-traffic areas, reapply the sealer as needed to maintain durability and shine.
Q: Are concrete coatings slippery?
Concrete coatings, like tile or marble, can be slippery when wet. To improve safety in areas such as pools or patios, we can add a nonslip additive to the sealer for extra grip.
Color and Customization Options
Q: What colors are available for concrete coatings?
We offer a wide selection of colors, from earthy acid stains and vibrant pigments to decorative flakes and quartz finishes. Our team will help you choose the perfect color to match your style, creating a unique, standout floor.
Q: Will my coated concrete look like the color I see online?
Due to the natural properties of concrete, colors may vary slightly. This variation gives your project a unique finish, adding personality and character to your space.
Costs and Pricing
Q: How much does it cost to install concrete coatings?
Pricing depends on factors such as the area’s size, level of detail, and the condition of the surface. Contact us for a detailed, custom quote—we’re happy to provide pricing tailored to your project.
Q: What’s the cost difference between a decorative overlay and stamped concrete?
Decorative overlays are a cost-effective choice because they cover existing surfaces, avoiding the expense of a new pour. Overlays transform your space with minimal prep work, making them a budget-friendly option.
Safety and Warranty Information
Q: What types of warranties do you offer for concrete coatings?
We stand by our work with a 15-year warranty for residential and a 5-year warranty for commercial epoxy and polyaspartic coatings, ensuring long-lasting quality. Please note that warranties are not available for stained concrete services.
