Residential Epoxy Flooring

Most residential epoxy flooring projects take 2-3 days from start to finish. Day 1 involves surface preparation and base coat application. Day 2-3 includes decorative elements (if applicable) and topcoat application. You can typically walk on the floor 24 hours after completion, though full cure takes 7 days. We coordinate timing to minimize disruption to your daily routine.

Yes, epoxy can be installed over existing concrete if it's in good condition. We evaluate your concrete first - checking for major cracks, moisture issues, or structural problems that need repair first. Old sealers, paint, or coatings must be removed. The concrete is then properly prepared through grinding to ensure epoxy adhesion. Most existing residential concrete is suitable for epoxy with proper preparation.

Properly installed residential epoxy flooring typically lasts 10-20 years with normal use and maintenance. The lifespan depends on traffic levels, maintenance, and the specific epoxy system used. Heavy-duty systems last longer than basic coatings. Regular cleaning and avoiding harsh chemicals help extend life. Our installations come with care instructions to maximize durability.

Yes, modern epoxy systems are safe for indoor residential use when properly installed. We use low-VOC (volatile organic compound) epoxy systems appropriate for occupied spaces. During installation, we ensure proper ventilation. After curing (typically 7 days), epoxy is non-toxic and safe for families and pets. Epoxy creates a seamless, easy-to-clean surface that's actually more hygienic than many traditional flooring options.
