Frequently Asked Questions

WHAT ARE CONCRETE COATINGS?

Our epoxy floor coatings are a concrete resurfacing option that is installed over existing concrete floors for both interior and exterior concrete. All of our coatings are installed by hand (we do not use any stamps), thus giving our clients a true, one-of-a-kind floor. We install a wide range of flooring systems such as: 100% solid epoxy, concrete stain, acrylic cement, and rubber based products.

Clients have the ability to customize any coating with our various color options and design techniques. Concrete Coatings are used not only in residential, but industrial and recreational settings as well. Premier uses only the highest quality, industrial products on the market to ensure every customer is getting the best value.

HOW MUCH DO YOUR CONCRETE FLOOR COATINGS COST?

Each project is customized to your particular concrete flooring needs. Every job we do is different, because we offer different types of coatings and finishes.  We will work with you to develop a free estimate keeping your budget in mind. 

HOW DURABLE ARE YOUR EPOXY CONCRETE COATING SYSTEMS??

We use only industrial products on all of our epoxy floor projects. They are designed to give clients the most value and longevity over any other coating material on the market. 

HOW LONG DOES A TYPICAL EPOXY FLOORING PROJECT TAKE TO COMPLETE?

A typical residential project takes approximately 3 – 5 days to complete depending on several variables. Variables include, but are not limited to: size of job, repairs and/or preparation requirements, weather, additional design details, customer requests, etc.

WHAT IF I ALREADY HAVE AN EXISTING CONCRETE COATING?

Unfortunately, we must grind off any existing coating and repair materials before we can install any of our concrete coatings. This ensures the integrity and longevity of our flooring systems. If you have stamped concrete that has faded, please contact us for options in reviving it.

HOW LONG DO I NEED TO STAY OFF MY CONCRETE FLOOR COATING AFTER IT IS INSTALLED?

If using 100% solids epoxy, your floor will be cured and walkable in about 12-18 hours. You can return to full heavy traffic after about 24 – 72 hours. Wait for at least 24 hours before moving light weight furniture on your brand new concrete coating flooring. Before moving anything heavy (car, equipment and furniture).

HOW DO YOU PREPARE CONCRETE FOR RESURFACING?

We start every project by first preparing the concrete for our products. It is imperative that we have a fresh concrete surface before installing our concrete coatings on your project – this will allow our products to have only the BEST mechanical bond.

We spend approximately 66% of the project prepping your floor which may either be by diamond grinding or pressure washing the concrete (depending on the location of the project) and in some cases we do both! Most contractors will come in and just acid wash or not even prep your floor – we get calls all the time about botched installs with customers asking if we can save their project; we must start fresh every time.

HOW DO I CARE FOR MY CONCRETE FLOOR COATING?

You can clean our concrete coatings with typical sweeping, mopping or steaming.

WILL OIL STAIN MY CONCRETE FLOOR COATING?

Epoxy floor coatings are extremely resistant to most hazards, including cleaners, gas, oil, transmission fluid, and even most industrial chemicals. Our epoxy concrete coatings system is both oil and moisture resistant.

WHAT TYPES OF ENVIRONMENTS CAN EPOXY FLOOR COATINGS BE USED?

Epoxy flooring coatings can be used in a variety of environments.  The durability, slip resistant finish is fantastic for any industrial setting, storefronts, patios, or even driveways or garages.

HOW ARE EPOXY FLOOR COATINGS APPLIED?

We have perfected a six step process for applying Epoxy Floor Coatings that involves prepping the floor, prime floor with epoxy primer, filling all cracks, holes with epoxy grout, then applying epoxy paint. 

CAN I APPLY EPOXY FLOOR COATINGS IN COLD TEMPERATURES?

You can!  Epoxy can be used at cold temperatures but must be handled and applied with techniques adapted to cold temperatures.

DO I NEED TO HIRE A PROFESSIONAL TO INSTALL EPOXY FLOOR COATING?

Installing Epoxy Floor Coating correctly is critical to the appearance and durability of your flooring.  Hiring a professional is the best way to ensure that your flooring will look amazing and last a lifetime! 

DOES MY CONCRETE FLOOR COATING COME WITH A WARRANTY?

We provide a 5 year warranty on your concrete floor coatings against peeling, delamination and wear for as long as you own your home.

WILL I NEED TO RESEAL MY CONCRETE FLOOR COATING?

If you follow our maintenance and cleaning guidelines, you should not have to worry about resealing the concrete floor coating. We offer a professional grade cleaner that will easily remove stains or tire marks, but will also preserve the life of your concrete coating topcoat.

WHAT IF MY CONCRETE FLOOR HAS CRACKS, CHIPS AND IS OLD?

No worries, we are experts in repairing existing problem areas of concrete. In some cases we have been found to be a cheaper alternative over tearing out and replacing existing slabs of concrete. Once we have saved your concrete we then install our decorative designs to hide the flaws and repairs.
