Epoxy Garage Floor Coating in Cotati — FAQ

How long does an epoxy garage floor last?+

A professionally applied multi-coat epoxy system lasts 10–20 years. Polyaspartic topcoats are more UV-stable and resist yellowing in sunny NorCal garages.

Can I park on an epoxy floor without peeling?+

Yes. A properly prepped and coated floor with a polyaspartic topcoat resists hot-tire pickup. Cheap single-coat kits often fail, which is why professional application is recommended.

How long does the garage need to be empty?+

Plan for 3–4 days total. The garage must be completely empty during prep and coating. Light foot traffic is OK after 24 hours; vehicles after 72 hours.

What about moisture in the concrete?+

A moisture test is performed before coating. NorCal slabs with high water tables may need a moisture-mitigating primer, which adds $0.50–$1.00 per sq ft.
