Is epoxy or polyaspartic better for a garage floor?
Many garage systems combine an epoxy base with decorative flake and
a compatible polyaspartic topcoat. Other builds use different primers
or base coats. We compare the complete system for your concrete,
moisture, sunlight, wear and schedule rather than choosing by one
product name.
Can you remove an old or peeling garage coating?
Yes. We assess the existing coating and its bond, then include the
required removal and concrete preparation in the scope. Coating over
a failing layer does not correct the underlying adhesion problem.
Can epoxy flooring be installed on damp concrete?
Suitability depends on measured moisture, the slab and the selected
system. A moisture-control primer or mitigation system may be appropriate
within its limits. A floor coating does not resolve active leaks,
drainage problems or every below-grade moisture condition.
Will the floor be slippery when wet?
Smooth glossy coatings can be slippery when wet. We discuss traction
additives or broadcast textures for the expected conditions, including
footwear, vehicle traffic and cleaning. Texture improves grip but does
not eliminate the need to remove water and contamination.
Can you coat strata parkades, ramps and bike rooms?
Yes, after assessing each area. Bike and storage rooms may suit a resin
coating; suspended decks and exposed ramps may require waterproof
traffic systems. Drainage, joints, vehicle wear, surface texture and
phased access are reviewed before quoting.
How long will my garage or business be out of use?
Many smaller coating projects involve around two to three installation
days, but repairs, the system and conditions can change the schedule.
We specify separate waiting periods for foot traffic, vehicles and
cleaning. Occupied strata and commercial projects may be phased.
What should I send for a Port Moody flooring quote?
Send the address, approximate dimensions, floor photos, existing coating
condition, intended use and preferred dates. Mention visible dampness,
drains, sloped areas and any shared-building access requirements.
We arrange the next assessment step before final pricing.
