Concrete Staining FAQs
Both are excellent when installed well. Polyaspartic cures faster and handles UV and hot tires very well, making it popular for Chicago garages. Epoxy is a proven, cost-effective choice. Your specialist will recommend based on your floor and use.
Most residential garages take 1–2 days plus cure time (often 24–72 hours before parking on it). Commercial floors vary by size and system.
Peeling is almost always a prep or moisture failure. Proper grinding, crack repair, and moisture testing are what separate lasting coatings from peeling ones — ask your specialist about their prep process.
Usually it must be removed by grinding first — coatings need to bond to concrete, not to old paint. Your estimate should include the prep required.
Simple: sweep and damp-mop with mild cleaner. Avoid harsh acids. Quality coatings resist hot-tire pickup, salt, and most chemicals.
