Frequently Asked Questions
20+ answers to the most common questions Savannah homeowners and business owners ask about epoxy flooring.
Does Savannah's humidity affect epoxy floors?+
Yes — high humidity can cause blushing, hazing, or adhesion failure if a floor is installed incorrectly. We use moisture-tolerant primers, vapor barriers, and humidity-rated resins specifically formulated for coastal Georgia's climate so your floor cures hard and stays bonded.
How long does epoxy take to cure in Savannah's climate?+
Standard epoxy is walk-on ready in 12–24 hours and vehicle-ready in about 72 hours. With our polyaspartic systems we can have you back on your floor the same day and parking on it within 24 hours — even in the middle of August humidity.
How much does an epoxy floor cost in Savannah?+
Most residential garage floors in Savannah, Pooler, and Richmond Hill run $4–$12 per square foot depending on the system. Metallic, flake, and polyaspartic floors sit at the higher end. Every quote we provide is free, on-site, and itemized.
How durable is epoxy flooring?+
A properly installed epoxy or polyaspartic system will last 15–20+ years residentially and 8–15 years in heavy commercial use. It resists oil, gasoline, hot tires, salt, and household chemicals.
How do I maintain my new epoxy floor?+
Sweep regularly, mop with warm water and a pH-neutral cleaner, and wipe up oil or chemical spills promptly. Avoid abrasive pads and harsh acids.
Do I need to prep my garage floor before installation?+
We handle all prep. We diamond-grind, repair cracks, fix moisture issues, and vacuum every speck of dust before priming. Proper prep is 80% of why an epoxy floor lasts.
Can I park hot tires on an epoxy floor?+
Yes, on our polyaspartic top coats. Hot tire pickup is a real failure mode for big-box DIY kits, but our pro systems are specifically rated to resist it.
How long does the installation take?+
Most residential garages are completed in 1–2 days. Polyaspartic systems can wrap in a single day with the floor walk-on ready that evening.
Do you offer a warranty?+
Yes — every residential install includes a written 15-year warranty against peeling, delamination, and hot-tire pickup. Commercial warranties range from 3 to 10 years depending on system.
Can you install over an existing epoxy or painted floor?+
Sometimes. If the existing coating is well-bonded and not flaking, we can sand/grind and re-coat. More often we recommend full removal of failed coatings for a fresh start.
What colors are available?+
Hundreds. Solid colors, dozens of vinyl flake blends, metallic pigments in copper / bronze / blue / silver / gold, and quartz aggregates. We bring samples to every estimate.
Is epoxy slippery when wet?+
Not when finished with broadcast flake, quartz, or an aluminum oxide non-slip additive — all of which we offer at no extra cost.
Will epoxy yellow in the sun?+
Standard epoxy will. That's why we always top with a UV-stable polyaspartic or polyurethane that prevents yellowing for the life of the floor.
Do you serve commercial customers?+
Yes — warehouses, retail, restaurants, medical, manufacturing, and industrial throughout coastal Georgia. USDA/FDA compliant systems available.
Do you offer financing?+
Yes — 0% APR on approved credit for residential projects over $1,500.
What is polyaspartic flooring?+
Polyaspartic is a next-generation aliphatic polyurea coating that's faster curing, more UV-stable, more abrasion-resistant, and more flexible than traditional epoxy. It's the premium choice in coastal Georgia.
Can epoxy be installed in a basement?+
Yes — and we use vapor-barrier primers specifically for below-grade installations to handle the moisture vapor drive common in Savannah-area basements.
Do you do pool decks and patios?+
Yes — using UV-stable, cool-deck-rated, slip-resistant exterior coatings designed for coastal exposure.
How do I get a quote?+
Call (912) 555-0371 or fill out the quote form on our website. We'll text a confirmed appointment within one business day and come to you for a free, no-obligation on-site estimate.
Are you licensed and insured in Georgia?+
Yes — fully licensed, bonded, and insured with $2M in general liability coverage.
What's the difference between flake and metallic?+
Flake uses colored vinyl chips broadcast into the base coat for a uniform textured look. Metallic uses mica pigments that flow during cure for a 3D liquid-marble appearance. Both are stunning — different aesthetics.
Do you do residential and commercial?+
Both, equally. We install single-car residential garages and 50,000+ sq ft warehouses with the same crew and the same standards.
How soon can you schedule my project?+
Most projects can be scheduled within 1–3 weeks of estimate. Emergency commercial work can often be expedited to weekends or overnight.
