Frequently Asked Questions

1. What’s the difference between epoxy and polyurea coatings?

Epoxy and polyurea are both high-performance concrete coatings, but they cure differently and suit different needs. Epoxy offers excellent durability and a wide range of decorative finishes, while polyurea cures faster and tolerates a broader temperature range. Our team will recommend the right system for your space.

2. Do you use generic epoxy kits, or custom formulations?

We never use generic store-bought kits that peel and fade. Every floor we install is a custom, high-performance formulation engineered specifically for North Florida’s heat, humidity, and UV exposure — built for chemical resistance and long-term durability that off-the-shelf products simply can’t match.

3. What types of epoxy flooring do you offer?

We offer a wide selection of systems: premium vinyl flake epoxy for garages and patios, custom metallic epoxy for showroom-style finishes, metallic epoxy countertops, polished concrete, and concrete sealing — plus tile and grout restoration for existing surfaces. We’ll help you choose the right option for your space and budget.

4. Is epoxy flooring suitable for garage floors?

Yes,garage floors are one of our most common projects. Our multi-layered vinyl flake system hides imperfections, resists hot tires and chemicals, and delivers superior slip resistance, giving you a showroom-finish garage floor that holds up to daily wear far better than painted concrete.

5. Can epoxy be used for commercial or industrial spaces?

Absolutely. We’re a leading residential, commercial, and industrial epoxy flooring specialist. From retail showrooms to high-traffic industrial facilities, our custom coatings are engineered for chemical resistance, durability, and long-term performance under heavy daily use.

6. What is metallic epoxy, and how is it different from standard epoxy?

Metallic epoxy transforms ordinary concrete into a seamless, marble-like work of art using pigments that create movement and depth beneath the surface. It’s 100% custom-designed for each space, making it a popular choice for showrooms, retail spaces, modern homes, and countertops.

7. Can you restore tile and grout instead of replacing it?

Yes, our tile and grout restoration service brings worn, discolored tile surfaces back to life without the cost or hassle of a full replacement. It’s a cost-effective way to refresh your space and extend the life of tile you already have.
