FAQs

How long does the installation process take?
Most installations can be completed in a single day. Unlike traditional epoxy coatings that can take days to cure, our polyaspartic system allows you to use your space within hours of completion.
What makes your coatings better than epoxy?
Our polyaspartic coatings are up to four times more durable than epoxy, UV-resistant (won't yellow or fade), cure faster, and can be installed in a wider range of temperatures. They also offer better chemical resistance and maintain flexibility over time, preventing cracks and peeling.
How long will my concrete coating last?
With proper care, our coatings are designed to last for many years. We back this durability with our comprehensive 15-year warranty.
How do your coatings handle Tennessee’s climate?
Our polyaspartic coatings are specifically engineered to withstand Knoxville’s heat, humidity, and cold temperatures. They won't yellow, fade, or degrade even during hot summers or freezing winters.
What type of maintenance is required?
Our coatings are virtually maintenance-free. Regular sweeping and occasional wet mopping are all that’s needed to maintain their like-new appearance.
Can you coat any concrete surface?
We can coat most structurally sound concrete surfaces. During your consultation, we'll assess the condition of your concrete to ensure it's suitable for coating.
What color and style options are available?
We offer two premium finishes:

Decorative Flake System – Adds texture and slip resistance with a variety of color combinations.
Solid Color System – A sleek, seamless look available in multiple colors to match your space.
How do I prepare my space for installation?
We'll provide detailed instructions before installation, but generally, you'll need to remove all items from the area and ensure clear access to the space.
Are your coatings safe for kids and pets?
Yes, once cured, our coatings are completely safe for families and pets. They are also non-slip, making them a safer option for everyday use.
What happens if my concrete is damaged?
During surface preparation, we repair minor concrete damage like cracks and chips. For more significant damage, we'll assess the repairs needed during your consultation.
Will the coating help prevent future concrete damage?
Yes, our coating system creates a protective barrier that helps prevent moisture penetration, chemical damage, and surface deterioration.
Can I pressure wash the coated surface?
Yes, our coatings can withstand pressure washing, though it's rarely needed. Standard cleaning methods are usually sufficient.
