What does an epoxy floor cost in Phoenix?
A residential floor is usually $5 to $8 per square foot for solid color or flake, and $10 to $18 per square foot for metallic. The final price depends on the slab condition, the size of the area and the location. What moves it most is what your concrete needs before any color goes down: crack repair, leveling, taking off an old finish and dealing with moisture. We look at yours in person and quote from what is actually there. Call (602) 820-7739.
How long does it take, and when can I use the floor again?
A polyaspartic system goes down in a day, and an epoxy base with a UV stable topcoat takes two. You are back on it on foot the day after the last coat, and you can park on it after roughly three days in normal conditions. You get the actual dates for your own floor when we quote it.
Will it peel or lift under hot tires?
That is decided by the preparation, not the product. Hot tires pull at anything that is only stuck to the surface, so we grind back to open concrete first and the base keys into the floor rather than sitting on it. What lifts as a sheet is a finish laid over an old sealer, because it was never bonded to the floor at all.
Do I need to empty the garage first?
The floor has to be clear for us to work, so cars, shelving and anything stored on it needs to come out. You will know what has to move and when, so you are not clearing the space days earlier than you need to.
Does the Phoenix sun fade the floor?
Not through a UV stable finish. Every floor we install is sealed with two coats of it, which is what holds the color and stops the yellowing you see on cheaper clear finishes. It is the same protection indoors and out.
