How much does a concrete coating cost?
There’s no simple formula, but there’s a way for you to get a rough idea/ballpark of how much you will likely spend on your concrete floor coating. Area Home Services is a certified Penntek installer, and we have a great understanding of the factors that go into pricing a concrete coating project. There are a few variables when it comes to the pricing of coatings. First we need to check the moisture level and the hardness of the existing concrete. Then we check for any cracks, spalling, or pitting, that will need to be addressed before the coating process. It only takes about 30 to 60 minutes for a free evaluation. We also have sample flake boards available for you to see the colors. Would there be a good time that we could stop by to meet with you for a free estimate?
What happens in a concrete coating estimate and do I really need one?
When you schedule an estimate, one of our concrete design consultants will come to your home and take a careful look at your space. This allows us to give you the most accurate cost estimate with careful consideration of your spaces square footage, your existing concrete’s condition, your chosen design system, and any add-ons that you need to make your space feel complete.
Is this concrete coating slippery? I want to coat my patio, but worry it will be too slick?
This is an excellent question & for good reason! There is nothing worse than installing a brand new flooring system and having it be a health hazard. For this reason, our coatings have been designed to be slip-resistant. And that resistance can be customized even further to provide either a smooth finish or a textured, rougher feel for additional slip protection.
How long does the concrete coating installation process take?
Considered one of the best parts of our dynamic, innovative system is that the turnaround time on our product is a fraction of the time when compared to other systems that can take several days or weeks to cure. Our pure polyurea system takes one-day to install, meaning you can be back on your floor within 24 hours.
Can I do this concrete coating myself?
We’ve had some folks ask if we can sell them the product so they can take on coating their concrete surface themselves, and others ask if they can go to [name your favorite big box home supply store] and buy the same coating.
The answer is nope and nope. We’re big fans of homeowners rolling up their sleeves and tackling a Saturday diy project, but this
just isn’t in the same category. Our teams may make it look simple, but that’s just because they’re so good. And they have the right equipment.
Can I customize my concrete coating’s color & texture?
We know that your garage, shop, or commercial facility has specific flooring needs. There’s no one application that fits every scenario like a glove. That’s why we offer a line of concrete floor coating systems for you to choose from, pairing each system’s unique attributes with your list of flooring must-haves. Our coatings are available in both a variety of finishes and colors, along with options for customizing chip colors, patterns, and adding logos.
I currently have a failing epoxy coating, can it be removed before applying a new coating?
Absolutely. We wouldn’t want you to suffer another day with a bad epoxy coating. Our teams are equipped with the expertise & equipment to remove your Epoxy coating and install a brand new flooring system. This process typically doesn’t require a ton of time but does entail a more in-depth grinding process to ensure your surface is prepped for coating.
