Frequently Asked Questions

With proper installation and normal use, our polyaspartic/epoxy flake systems last 15–25 years or more. They’re built to handle Minnesota’s extreme freeze-thaw cycles, road salt, hot tires, and heavy traffic without peeling or chipping.

Most standard garages are completed in 1-2 days: Day 1 for prep, base coat, and broadcast. Day 2 for scrape and topcoat(s). You can walk on it in 24-48 hours and drive on it in 48-72 hours, depending on temperature.

Yes! We install year-round in Minnesota. We use fast-curing polyaspartic topcoats that perform well in colder temps and control dust/heat as needed.

Yes, the garage needs to be completely empty. We offer free storage pods of various sizes that can be delivered on site and stay for up to a week.

Super easy—just sweep and occasional mild soap/water mopping. No harsh chemicals needed. It resists oil, gasoline, and salt stains.

We use 100% solids epoxy for the base and polyaspartic for the topcoats. Polyaspartic cures faster, resists UV yellowing, and handles temperature extremes better—perfect for Minnesota garages.

Yes, we provide a 10–15 year residential warranty against peeling and delamination (depending on the system chosen).

Prices vary by square footage, condition of concrete, and flake style, but most 2-car garages in the Twin Cities area range from $2,400–$4,000 installed. We offer free, no-pressure estimates.

Marble flake (also called large or terrazzo-style flake) is a decorative blend of vinyl chips ranging from 1" to 1/4" in size, often in multi-colored or marble-like patterns. These larger flakes create a bold, luxurious terrazzo appearance when broadcast into epoxy, offering excellent coverage and a high-end look for garages and decorative floors.

Standard flake (also known as chip or vinyl flake) consists of uniform smaller vinyl chips, typically 1/4" to 1/16" in size. These flakes are broadcast into the epoxy base for a speckled, camouflaging effect that hides dirt and minor imperfections—making it the most popular choice for durable, attractive garage floors.

Solid color epoxy/urethane starts with a pigmented 100% solids epoxy base coat applied to the prepared concrete, followed by a clear urethane or polyaspartic topcoat. This builds a smooth, seamless floor in a uniform color that resists chemicals, abrasions, hot tire marks, and UV fading—perfect for a clean, modern look in garages, basements, or commercial spaces.

Quartz and sand broadcast involves applying an epoxy base coat, then broadcasting colored quartz granules or silica sand into it while wet (often in multiple layers), before sealing everything with a clear urethane topcoat. The result is a heavily textured, non-slip surface that hides dirt and imperfections while providing excellent traction and durability—great for high-traffic garages and industrial floors.

Grind and seal involves mechanically diamond-grinding the concrete substrate (progressive grits up to 100-200 mesh) to remove laitance, expose fine or medium aggregate, and achieve a desired cream/salt-pepper/exposed profile, followed by application of a penetrating densifier/hardener and sealed with clear polyaspartic, polyurethane, or acrylic sealer coats. This process enhances surface hardness (Mohs scale increase), stain resistance, and dust-proofing while maintaining a natural matte-to-satin industrial aesthetic—suitable for cost-effective, low-maintenance warehouse, garage, or basement floors.
