Considering an epoxy garage floor? Start by asking what the contractor means by “epoxy.” The proposal should name the products and describe the complete system, including any decorative finish and protective topcoat.
What to compare in an epoxy proposal
Request the primer and base-coat names, coverage or thickness requirements, surface preparation, repair scope, topcoat, and curing instructions. Ask whether the proposed system is suitable for your slab conditions and intended use.
Appearance and exposure
Discuss color, gloss, sunlight at the garage entrance, and the cleaning products you expect to use. Ask the installer to show the product data supporting their claims about appearance and performance in those conditions.
Decorative finishes
If you want a flake finish, specify the blend, chip size, coverage, texture, and final topcoat. Explore decorative flake options.
Questions before you sign
What preparation and moisture evaluation are included? When can the floor be walked on and parked on? What does the warranty exclude? How should damage or wear be repaired?
Compare the complete scope rather than assuming that every epoxy system is equivalent. Compare epoxy and polyaspartic proposals or review cost factors.
