Along Colorado’s Front Range, concrete deals with intense sun exposure, rapid temperature swings, and year-round moisture movement. Yet despite these challenges, many garage floor coating warranties sold in our region contain fine print that leaves homeowners without real protection. Garage Floor Coating of the Front Range is committed to helping homeowners understand the hidden traps that weaken most warranties before they’re ever needed.
Moisture Loopholes That Void Most Warranties Instantly
Many installers promote long-lasting warranties—sometimes even “lifetime”—but quietly attach conditions based on moisture readings. These thresholds (such as 3 lbs or 6 lbs MVER, or Tramex measurements homeowners never see performed) aren’t legitimate scientific standards. They’re designed to give the installer an easy way out.
Most homeowners don’t own moisture meters, don’t understand the numbers, and rarely receive any documentation before installation. So when a coating fails because moisture pushed upward through the slab—a common occurrence in Colorado’s fluctuating climate—the installer simply takes a reading afterward and declares the warranty void.
Our approach eliminates this problem entirely. Every system we install includes a moisture-mitigating vapor barrier primer, ensuring your garage floor coating has built-in protection, with no moisture exclusions hiding in the fine print.
The Install-Day “Discovery” That Turns Into an Upsell
A frequent industry tactic is the sudden claim of “unexpected moisture” on install day. After grinding the concrete, the installer announces a problem and pressures the homeowner into paying extra for a special primer or moisture treatment.
But moisture in concrete is totally normal in Colorado’s climate.
These upsells are designed to raise revenue and create a future escape clause. At Garage Floor Coating of the Front Range, moisture mitigation is standard, not optional. There are no surprise fees and no add-ons disguised as technical requirements.
