Question 1

How long does epoxy flooring take to install?

Accepted Answer

Most residential garage projects are completed in one to two days on site, depending on square footage, concrete condition and the system selected. Larger commercial floors and projects requiring extensive repairs can take longer. We confirm a project-specific schedule before work begins.

Question 2

When can I walk on my new floor?

Accepted Answer

Cure times vary by product, film thickness, temperature and humidity. Many systems allow light foot traffic within roughly 12 to 24 hours. EpoxyGuys provides written, project-specific return-to-service instructions for your installation.

Question 3

When can I park a vehicle on the floor?

Accepted Answer

Vehicle traffic requires a longer cure than foot traffic — commonly several days. Because this depends on the coating used and site conditions, we give you exact timing for your floor at completion.

Question 4

How long does epoxy flooring last?

Accepted Answer

A properly prepared and professionally installed resinous floor is built for years of service. Actual lifespan depends on the system installed, how the space is used, the condition of the concrete underneath and ongoing maintenance.

Question 5

How do I clean my floor?

Accepted Answer

Sweep or dust mop regularly and clean with a soft mop and a pH-neutral cleaner. Avoid harsh solvents, abrasive pads and citrus- or vinegar-based cleaners. We provide maintenance guidance for your specific finish.

Question 6

Can you repair cracks?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Crack and joint repair is a normal part of preparation. We evaluate the concrete during your estimate and include the appropriate repair work in your written quote.

Question 7

Can you coat old concrete?

Accepted Answer

In most cases, yes. Older concrete can be an excellent candidate once it is properly profiled and any damage, contamination or moisture issues are addressed.

Question 8

Can you remove an existing coating?

Accepted Answer

Existing coatings can often be mechanically removed or ground off during preparation. Removal adds labor, so we assess and price it as part of your estimate.

Question 9

Are epoxy floors slippery?

Accepted Answer

A clean, dry finished floor offers solid traction, and flake systems add natural texture. Any glossy surface can be slick when wet, so anti-slip additives can be included in the topcoat when needed — just ask.

Question 10

What's the difference between flake and metallic flooring?

Accepted Answer

Flake systems broadcast decorative vinyl chips into the base coat for a textured, speckled, hard-working finish. Metallic systems use pigments that flow and swirl for a seamless, dramatic, one-of-a-kind appearance.

Question 11

Can I choose my own colors?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We offer a wide range of flake blends, solid colors and metallic combinations, and we review samples with you before installation.

Question 12

Do you install commercial flooring?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We install flooring for automotive shops, warehouses, retail spaces, restaurants, offices, showrooms and commercial garages throughout Connecticut.

Question 13

How much does epoxy flooring cost?

Accepted Answer

Full flake systems start around $12 per square foot and metallic systems start around $17 per square foot for preliminary estimating. Final pricing depends on concrete condition, repairs, preparation and project requirements, and is confirmed in a written quote.

Question 14

Do you offer free estimates?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Estimates are free. Send us your project details and photos and we will follow up to schedule an evaluation.

Question 15

Do I need to remove everything from my garage?

Accepted Answer

The space needs to be completely empty before preparation begins so we can access the full slab. We will confirm what needs to be cleared before your install date.
