Homeowners are often offered long warranties when shopping for a garage floor coating. Ten years. Twenty years. Lifetime.
Those promises only matter if the company offering them is still in business, and many 1-day garage floor coating companies are not.
When a Garage Floor Warranty Has No One Behind It
The situation is familiar. Years after installation, a homeowner notices peeling or delamination and reaches for the warranty paperwork.
The phone number no longer works. The website is gone. The company name has changed.
Most 1-day installers are built around speed and volume, not quality. As a result, their business lifespan is often short:
- 1–3 years: the most common outcome
- 3–5 years: usually only if the installer changes their process
- 5+ years: rare without technical expertise, quality control, and an earned reputation
When the company disappears, the warranty disappears with it.
Why These Failures Show Up Years Later
Cheap, fast-install systems often fail to properly address moisture moving through the concrete slab, which is one of the leading causes of coating failure. In Western Colorado, moisture and temperature changes can quietly weaken adhesion over time.
These issues rarely appear right away. They show up years later, potentially after the installer has closed up shop.
How a 2-Day Garage Floor Coating Reduces Risk
At Garage Floor Coating Western Colorado, we install hybrid polyaspartic and epoxy garage floors (typically over 2 days) because long-term performance takes a little more time.
After concrete preparation, our process includes the application of a thick, slower-curing moisture-mitigating vapor barrier primer. (We never apply a quick-cure polyurea or polyaspartic as the primer coat to “get the job done in one day”). Our thick moisture vapor barrier is followed by a full flake broadcast and dual, 100%-solids clear polyaspartic topcoats. The 4 layers are designed to mitigate moisture, ensure long-term adhesion, and unmatched durability over time.
Homeowners can also use our Live Coatings Visualizer to see how different colors and flake blends will look in their garage before committing.
