This is a challenging question to answer because the timing varies based on the situation. For example, a floor that needs a lot of prep work cannot be completed in one day. Most flooring installs require two to three days to complete. However, you can walk on the floor after 24 hours have passed.

Here are a few benefits of epoxy flooring:

• These floors are antimicrobial, that’s why you’ll see the same industrial grade floors in schools, manufacturing plants, and commercial kitchens
• Epoxy garage systems can be self-leveling, providing a floor that is 100% level. So even if your floor is having issues with deterioration, like so many in the Minnesota, we can make your garage floor look like new. Although we may haveto do an overlay.
• Epoxy garage floors that are installed properly are durable and strong
• The aesthetics can be anything you wish, including glitter, metallic, and flake finishes
• Epoxy floors are kind on the environment
• Epoxy floors require very little maintenance

Garage floors are more difficult to install in Minnesota because of the salt and decomposition that frequently happens with concrete. If the concrete is soft and crumbling from years of exposure to the elements than it takes a true garage floor coating professional to get the job done the right way.

The garage floor coating process is actually more complex than you might think. We use an industrial floor grinder to diamond grind the concrete. Then we fully repair all of the cracks in your concrete floor. We do that because anything less will cause the epoxy to bubble or peel once it settles and you drive over it with hot tires in the summer. This process makes the 100% solid epoxy and moisture vapor barrier that we apply next to bond to the concrete. Next, we apply flakes and a top coat to the floor after the appropriate drying time.
