Concrete Coating FAQs | Floor Shield Phoenix

How long does the installation process take?
Most installations are completed in just one day. Unlike epoxy coatings that can take days to cure, our polyaspartic system allows you to use your space within 5–6 hours of completion.
What makes your coatings better than epoxy?
Our polyaspartic coatings are up to four times stronger than epoxy, resist UV rays and heat, and cure quickly. They maintain flexibility over time, which prevents cracking and peeling — even under the Arizona sun.
How long will my concrete coating last?
With proper care, our coatings are built to last for many years. Every installation is backed by our 15-year residential warranty, giving you long-term peace of mind.
Can your coatings handle Arizona’s extreme heat?
Absolutely. Our coatings are engineered for desert climates and stay strong under high temperatures and constant sun exposure. They won’t yellow, fade, or blister over time.
What type of maintenance is required?
Our coatings are virtually maintenance-free. Just sweep and occasionally mop with a mild cleaner to keep your floors looking brand new.
Can you coat any concrete surface?
Yes. We can coat almost any structurally sound concrete surface — including garages, patios, pool decks, walkways, and commercial floors. We’ll inspect your concrete beforehand to ensure it’s ready for coating.
What color and style options are available?
We offer several custom coating systems, including:

Decorative Flake System – Adds color, texture, and slip resistance.
Solid Color System – Creates a sleek, seamless, professional look.

Quartz System – Perfect for areas that need both durability and design versatility.

See all our available finishes on our Color Chart page.
How should I prepare my space for installation?
Before installation, simply clear the area of vehicles, furniture, or equipment. We’ll handle the rest — including all surface prep, repairs, and cleanup.
Are your coatings safe for kids and pets?
Yes. Once cured, our coatings are non-toxic, low-VOC, and completely safe for children and pets. Their slip-resistant finish also helps prevent accidents.
What if my concrete is cracked or damaged?
Our team repairs minor cracks and surface damage during preparation. If your concrete has more severe issues, we’ll evaluate and recommend the right repair solution before coating.
Do the coatings help prevent future damage?
Yes. Our system forms a protective barrier that prevents moisture penetration, staining, and chemical wear, helping your concrete stay stronger for longer.
Can I pressure wash my coated floor?
You can — our coatings are tough enough to handle pressure washing, though standard cleaning is usually all you’ll need to keep them spotless.
What if my coating ever gets damaged?
While our coatings are extremely durable, if damage occurs within the warranty period, we’ll work with you to repair or recoat the affected area under our 15-year warranty coverage.
