Frequently Asked Questions

With proper surface preparation and normal use, 15-20+ years. Floor Shield backs every installation with a 15-year non-prorated warranty — full coverage for the entire term.

Yes — all five. Floor Shield of Central Ohio installs polyaspartic coatings on garage floors, basement floors, patios, pool decks, and commercial surfaces.

Different resin chemistries. Polyaspartic is 4x stronger in abrasion resistance, UV-stable so it won’t yellow, and cures in 4-6 hours instead of 72. Epoxy is cheaper per gallon, but polyaspartic costs less per year of useful life.

Hot tires transfer heat to the floor. Epoxy softens and bonds to rubber — then peels when the car moves. Polyaspartic doesn’t soften at normal surface temps, so tires sit and lift without damage.

Hairline cracks, minor spalling, and surface imperfections are filled during prep. Structural cracks or heaving slabs may need repair by a concrete contractor first.

Most two-car garages fall in the $6.50-$9.00 per sq ft range. That typically puts a standard garage at $2,600-$4,500 for a full polyaspartic system with decorative flake finish.

In almost every measurable way, yes. 4x stronger, UV-stable, cures in hours instead of days. Epoxy is cheaper upfront, but the performance gap is significant.
