FAQ | Epoxy.LA

Question 1

How long does the installation take?

Accepted Answer

Our epoxy floor coating systems are designed for one-day installation. We arrive in the morning, prepare the concrete surface, apply the epoxy base coat(s), broadcast the color flakes, and apply the clear polyaspartic topcoat — all in a single day. You can typically walk on the floor the next morning.

Question 2

How much does epoxy floor coating cost?

Accepted Answer

Our pricing starts at $5.00 per square foot for our Economy Epoxy One Day Flake System. Our premium blended flake systems are $6.00 per square foot. A standard 400 sq ft two-car garage starts at $2,000. We offer transparent, upfront pricing with no hidden fees.

Question 3

What warranty do you offer?

Accepted Answer

Our Economy system comes with an 8-year warranty. Our premium blended flake systems come with a 10-year warranty. All warranties cover delamination and peeling under normal use conditions.

Question 4

What is a moisture vapor barrier epoxy?

Accepted Answer

Moisture vapor barrier epoxy is a specialized epoxy formulation that prevents moisture from migrating up through the concrete slab and causing the coating to delaminate. Our premium systems use 600 PSI moisture vapor barrier epoxy — far superior to standard epoxy products available at hardware stores.

Question 5

What is a polyaspartic topcoat?

Accepted Answer

Polyaspartic is a type of polyurea topcoat that is UV-stable, extremely durable, and fast-curing. Unlike standard epoxy topcoats, polyaspartic won't yellow in sunlight and provides superior abrasion resistance. We use a clear polyaspartic topcoat on all of our systems.

Question 6

Do I need to move everything out of my garage?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the garage floor must be completely clear before we arrive. Please remove all vehicles, storage items, shelving, and anything else from the floor area. We need full access to the entire concrete surface.

Question 7

How do I prepare my garage floor before you arrive?

Accepted Answer

Clear the floor completely of all items. If there are any oil stains, let us know in advance — we can address most stains during our surface preparation process. Do not apply any cleaning products or sealers to the floor before our visit.

Question 8

Can epoxy be applied over existing coatings?

Accepted Answer

In most cases, no. Existing coatings must be removed before applying a new epoxy system. We assess the condition of your concrete during our consultation and will let you know if any additional preparation is needed.

Question 9

How long before I can drive on the new floor?

Accepted Answer

With our polyaspartic topcoat system, you can typically return vehicles to the garage within 24 hours. We'll give you specific instructions based on the temperature and conditions on the day of installation.
