How long does epoxy flooring last?

Quality epoxy coatings can last 10 to 20 years when properly installed and maintained. The lifespan depends on traffic levels and how well you care for it. Regular cleaning and avoiding harsh chemicals helps epoxy last longer. If you notice wear in high-traffic areas, we can recoat those spots without redoing the entire floor.

Can you apply epoxy over old concrete?

Yes, we can apply epoxy to existing concrete as long as the surface is in decent shape. We need to repair any major cracks or damage first, then thoroughly clean and prepare the surface so the epoxy bonds properly. Old paint or sealers need to come off. Proper surface prep is what makes epoxy coatings last, so we never skip that step.

Is epoxy flooring slippery when wet?

Smooth epoxy can be slippery when wet, but we add texture to prevent that. Mixing in decorative flakes or adding a clear topcoat with grit gives you traction even when the floor is wet. This is especially important in garages where you might track in rain or wash your car. We will make sure your floor is both attractive and safe.

Benefits of Epoxy Garage Floors

Your garage floor takes punishment from cars, tools, oil spills, and whatever else you drag through there. Plain concrete absorbs stains, collects dust, and looks dingy no matter how often you sweep. An epoxy coating changes all of that by creating a sealed, durable surface that looks great and cleans up easily.

Epoxy resists oil, gas, antifreeze, and most chemicals that would stain bare concrete. Spills wipe up without soaking in. The smooth, sealed surface does not shed concrete dust like uncoated floors. Hot tires will not damage it. Plus, the glossy finish brightens your garage by reflecting more light, which makes the whole space feel cleaner and more finished.

We apply commercial-grade epoxy systems that hold up to residential and light commercial use. Our garage floor coatings in Jupiter turn drab concrete into attractive, functional surfaces that last for years with minimal maintenance. Whether you want a basic solid color or a decorative flake finish, we have options that fit your style and budget.

Coating Options and Styles

Epoxy coatings come in various styles and colors. You can go with a simple solid color for a clean, uniform look. Add color flakes for texture and visual interest. Choose metallic epoxy for a modern, high-end appearance. Each option provides the same protective benefits while offering different aesthetics.

Popular Coating Styles

Solid color epoxy: Clean, glossy finish in any color you want
Color flake systems: Decorative chips in various sizes and color blends
Metallic epoxy: Unique swirled patterns with depth and shimmer
Clear epoxy sealer: Protects concrete while maintaining natural appearance
Polyaspartic topcoat: Extra durable finish with UV resistance
Custom logos or designs: Add team colors, patterns, or personalized elements

The coating system matters as much as the style. We use multi-layer systems with proper primers, base coats, and topcoats for maximum durability. Cheap single-coat products peel and wear quickly. Our professional-grade systems bond permanently to properly prepared concrete and hold up to heavy use.

Preparation and Installation

Surface prep determines how well epoxy adheres and how long it lasts. We start by grinding or shot blasting the concrete to open the pores and create a profile for the epoxy to grip. This also removes any old coatings, sealers, or contaminants that would prevent proper bonding.

After grinding, we repair any cracks or damage. Then we clean the floor thoroughly and apply primer. Once the primer cures, we apply the epoxy base coat. If you chose a flake system, we broadcast the flakes while the epoxy is wet. Finally, we apply a clear topcoat that seals everything and provides additional protection and shine.

Timeline and Curing

Most garage floors take two to three days to complete. Day one is prep and primer. Day two is epoxy and flakes. Day three is topcoat. After that, the floor needs 24 hours before you can walk on it and about three to five days before driving on it. Temperature and humidity affect curing time, so we choose optimal conditions whenever possible.
