A garage floor coating warranty can look rock solid at first glance. Long coverage terms. Confident promises. But many warranties sold in our region contain fine print designed to limit responsibility, not protect the floor.
That’s why Garage Floor Coating of the Front Range encourages homeowners to slow down and ask the right questions before committing.
1. Does the Garage Floor Coating Warranty Cover All Moisture Issues Without Exceptions?
This is the most critical question you can ask when evaluating a garage floor coating. Many warranties quietly exclude moisture-related failures using technical thresholds like 3 lbs MVER, 6 lbs MVER, or confusing Tramex readings. Because moisture vapor constantly moves through concrete, these exclusions often invalidate coverage the moment a problem appears.
2. Do You Use a Moisture-Mitigating Primer?
If the installer hesitates, that is a red flag. Some contractors grind the slab, then claim moisture was “unexpected” and push expensive add-ons on install day. Moisture in concrete is not a surprise, it is predictable.
We include a moisture-mitigating epoxy primer as part of every professional system, without surprise upcharges.
3. Does the Warranty Include Tire Staining?
Plasticizer migration, commonly known as permanent tire staining, is not limited to hot climates. Temperature swings and slab heat cause tire compounds to leach into coatings over time. Many 1-day systems, thin epoxies, and lower-grade polyaspartics cannot resist this, so competitors quietly exclude tire staining from their warranties.
Our multi-layer garage floor systems use industrial-grade materials, a full-broadcast flake layer, and two polyaspartic clear coats to combat plasticizer migration.
4. Is the Warranty Full Coverage or Partial?
A warranty that excludes labor or materials shifts the financial burden back onto the homeowner. Many so-called lifetime warranties only cover a fraction of repair costs. Garage Floor Coating of the Front Range provides full-coverage warranties that include both labor and materials, without hidden limitations.
5. Can You Provide Technical Data Sheets for Every Product You Use?
If an installer cannot produce Technical Data Sheets, the products may be thin, untested, or not suited for Front Range conditions. Transparency is a key indicator of quality in any garage floor system.
Before choosing a coating, ask these five warranty questions. Then contact Garage Floor Coating of the Front Range to schedule a consultation and learn what real coverage looks like when the system is designed and installed the right way.
