FAQs

What are the benefits of sealing/epoxy for homes?
Sealing and epoxy coatings protect surfaces from moisture, stains, chemicals, and everyday wear. They also enhance the appearance of concrete and flooring with a smooth, polished finish. These treatments can extend the life of your surfaces and reduce maintenance needs. Epoxy, in particular, adds durability and a high-gloss look.

What is the difference between sealing and epoxy services?
Sealing involves applying a protective layer to concrete or stone to prevent water and stain absorption. Epoxy is a thicker, resin-based coating that forms a strong, decorative surface layer. Sealers are typically more subtle and breathable, while epoxy offers a more dramatic finish and greater durability. The best choice depends on your surface type and goals.

How long does epoxy or sealer last?
With proper application and care, sealers can last 2–5 years, while epoxy coatings often last 10 years or more. High-traffic areas may require occasional touch-ups. Lifespan depends on usage, exposure to elements, and maintenance. Regular cleaning and reapplication (as needed) can extend performance.

How long does installation take?
Most sealing jobs are completed in 1 day, while epoxy flooring typically takes 2–3 days, including curing time. Larger or more complex projects may take longer. Weather conditions and surface preparation can also affect timing. We’ll always provide a clear timeline before starting.

Is the surface slippery after applying epoxy or sealer?
Epoxy can be slippery when wet, but anti-slip additives are available to improve safety. Sealers may also cause slight slickness depending on finish type. We offer slip-resistant options for garages, patios, and pool decks. Just let us know your needs during the consultation.

Can epoxy be applied to damaged or old concrete?
Yes, but surface preparation is key. We repair cracks, fill holes, and grind the surface to ensure proper adhesion. Severely damaged concrete may require additional prep or resurfacing. A professional assessment will determine if epoxy is the right solution.

How should I maintain my sealed or epoxy-coated surface?
Regular sweeping and occasional mopping with a mild cleaner will keep surfaces in great shape. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing tools. For epoxy, avoid dragging sharp objects to prevent scratches. Reapplying a sealer every few years may be recommended.

Are these services safe for indoor use?
Yes, when installed by professionals using proper ventilation and low-VOC products. Epoxy and sealers are safe once cured and emit little to no odor afterward. We follow industry safety standards to ensure a clean and healthy installation process. Let us know if you have pets or sensitivity concerns.
