Question 1

How much does epoxy garage flooring cost?

Accepted Answer

Epoxy garage flooring typically costs $5-$12 per square foot in Pierce County, depending on the type of epoxy system, surface preparation needs, and decorative options. Basic solid-color epoxy starts around $5-7/sq ft, while metallic or chip systems range from $8-12/sq ft. A standard 2-car garage (400 sq ft) usually costs $2,000-$4,800 installed.

Question 2

How long does epoxy flooring last?

Accepted Answer

High-quality epoxy flooring can last 10-20 years in residential garages and 5-10 years in commercial settings with proper maintenance. The lifespan depends on traffic levels, proper installation, and surface preparation. Our epoxy systems include proper primers and topcoats to maximize durability in Pierce County's climate.

Question 3

Is epoxy flooring slippery?

Accepted Answer

Epoxy flooring can be slippery when wet if installed without anti-slip additives. We address this by incorporating slip-resistant aggregates into the topcoat, providing excellent traction even when wet. For garages and commercial spaces, we recommend textured finishes that meet safety standards while maintaining a professional appearance.

Question 4

Can epoxy flooring be applied over existing concrete?

Accepted Answer

Yes, epoxy can be applied over existing concrete if the surface is in good condition. The concrete must be clean, dry, and free of oil stains, sealers, or coatings. We perform diamond grinding or acid etching to ensure proper adhesion. Severely damaged concrete may require repairs before epoxy application.

Question 5

How long does epoxy take to cure?

Accepted Answer

Epoxy flooring is ready for foot traffic in 24-48 hours and vehicle traffic in 5-7 days. Full cure takes 7-10 days. Installation typically takes 1-2 days for a standard garage. Temperature and humidity affect cure times—ideal conditions are 60-80°F with low humidity. We schedule installations during favorable weather in Pierce County.

Question 6

Can I install epoxy flooring myself?

Accepted Answer

While DIY epoxy kits exist, professional installation ensures proper surface preparation, correct mixing ratios, even application, and long-lasting results. Poor surface prep is the #1 cause of epoxy failure. Our team has specialized equipment and expertise to handle moisture issues, repairs, and proper coating application that DIY kits can't match.
