Epoxy Floors, Failure and Removal

In the past few years, we’ve experienced a sharp increase in the demand to remove failed epoxy garage floors in the metro area.  After asking each and every one of our customers about why their previous floor failed – we got a variety of responses.  Some of the floors lasted years, some of them months and some of them just days.  Some of them blamed their applicators, some of them blamed the product. Some of them even blamed the neighbor who told them to do it in the first place. Regardless of who did it, or why it happen, one thing was clear – each epoxy floor had separated from the garage surface. The coating simply delaminated from the concrete.

On a positive note:  each of the customers found value in having a garage coating. They appreciated the decorative  colors that matched their houses or garage interior. They liked the way their vehicles looked parked on the floor. They appreciated the overall “neat / clean” look of the garage. They even noticed that they were less likely to fall on the floor due to the increased slip-resistance of the coating.

To avoid the failure factor – the formula is simple – the “Prep Perfect System,” polyurea / polyaspartic, and an experienced applicator.

Here are some of our finished floors – that are guaranteed to work long-term.
