How long does a polyaspartic floor take to install in Decatur?

Most Decatur garages, basements, driveways and patios are a one-day install. You can usually walk on the floor the same evening and park on it within 24 to 48 hours. A larger slab, or one needing significant repair, may take a second day.

What does the free estimate involve?

We come to you, measure the space and look at the concrete itself, including its age, any cracking, moisture and whatever finish is on it now. You leave with a written price for the completed floor and the color and flake blend already chosen.

What does a polyaspartic floor coating cost in Decatur?

Cost follows square footage, the condition of the slab and how much preparation it needs. A sound garage floor works out lower per square foot than one that has to be stripped of old paint and rebuilt first. The estimate is free and itemized.

Can you coat over an old painted or resin floor?

Usually yes, but not by coating on top of it. We grind the old finish off so the new polyaspartic or polyurea system bonds to bare concrete. A floor that is already peeling is normally telling you it was applied to a slab that was never properly prepared.

What makes Faust Flooring different from other Decatur floor coating companies?

More than 20 years installing floors, our own shop in Marietta, and preparation we will not shortcut. Plenty of installers quote from a photograph; we grind every slab rather than acid-etching it, and we will tell you when a cheaper system is the right call.

Decorative Floor Coatings for Decatur Concrete

A resinous floor coating is not only protection for the slab. The color, the flake blend and the sheen are all chosen before we start, so the finished floor is something you picked rather than something you settled for.

That counts for a lot in Decatur, where much of the concrete worth coating sits in a room the family actually uses. A basement that has become a studio, a workshop off the driveway, or a garage carrying half the household storage all read better with a floor that looks deliberate. The same decision applies outdoors, on a patio or a front walk that everybody sees before they reach the door.

Resinous Floor Coatings in Decatur Homes

Bare concrete stains, dusts and never quite looks clean, however often it gets swept.

A polyaspartic system seals it under a hard decorative surface in one visit. We grind the slab, make the repairs it needs, lay the tinted base coat, broadcast flake and finish with a clear topcoat, normally between the morning and the evening of the same day.

You choose the blend from a chart before we begin. Decatur homeowners tend to go one of two ways: a dense, heavy blend that reads almost like terrazzo, or a lighter scatter over a solid color that keeps the room feeling bright.

Why Decatur Owners Choose Polyaspartic

A Finish You Choose

Color, flake density and sheen are all settled at the estimate, so you know exactly how the floor will look before a grinder is switched on.

Fast and Low Odor

The coating cures in hours and gives off far less smell than older resin systems, which matters when the work is happening below an occupied house.

Seamless and Sealed

There are no grout lines, no open pores and nothing for dust or spills to sink into, so the slab stops shedding grit into the rest of the house.

Simple to Clean

A dust mop through the week and a damp mop when it needs one is genuinely all the upkeep a finished floor asks for.

Built for Real Use

The cured surface takes tires, dropped tools, bike traffic and rolling storage without marking the way a painted floor does. Outside it does the same on a driveway, a patio or a pool surround, and holds its color in full sun rather than yellowing off.

Suits an Older Slab

Concrete poured decades ago is rarely flat and rarely clean. A coating system can be specified around what is actually there, which is more than most rigid floor coverings will tolerate.

How We Coat a Decatur Floor

Almost every coating that fails does so because of what happened before it went down, not because of the product itself. We spend the bulk of the first day on the concrete, and that is what decides whether the floor still looks like this in ten years.

Diamond grinding – The slab is mechanically opened with diamond tooling so the coating locks into the concrete rather than resting on the surface.
Repairs and fills – Cracks, pits and broken edges are filled and sanded level so the finished floor reads flat under the light.
Tinted base coat – The base coat is tinted to the color you chose and rolled out across the prepared slab.
Flake broadcast – Flake is broadcast into the wet base to the density you picked, then scraped back smooth once it has set.
Clear polyaspartic topcoat – The topcoat locks everything down and gives the floor its sheen, its chemical resistance and its hard wearing surface.

Polyaspartic or Epoxy for Your Decatur Floor

We install both, and both give you a hard, seamless floor over concrete. You will also see these systems sold as polyurea, since polyaspartic is a type of polyurea coating and the products we use draw on both. What separates them from epoxy is cure time, color stability and the temperature they can be applied in.

Polyaspartic is finished in a day, holds its color in daylight and can be installed when a space is too cold for epoxy, which makes it the easier choice in a house somebody is living in.

Epoxy goes down thicker in a single pass and works out cheaper across a large uninterrupted floor, so it is still the right answer in a big workshop or a warehouse.

At the free estimate we will tell you honestly which system your slab calls for, including the times the less expensive one is the better buy.

Commercial Floor Coatings in Decatur

For a business the question is almost always how long the floor is out of action. A polyaspartic system can be ground, coated and back in service across a weekend, so the doors open again on Monday.

Around Decatur we coat studio and gallery floors, workshops, stockrooms, kennels, salon floors and back-of-house areas, wherever the surface has to stay easy to clean and cannot be closed off for a week.

Cove base can be run up the wall where washdown or health-code cleaning applies, so there is no seam at the floor line collecting dirt.

Tell us how the space gets used and when you can hand it over, and we will build the schedule around your trading hours.

The Concrete We Coat Over in Decatur

No two slabs arrive in the same shape, and much of how a finished coating looks is decided by what we find on the morning we start grinding. These are the conditions we meet most often on Decatur concrete, and what each one calls for.

Old paint and sealers

Garage paint, a previous resin job or a decorative sealer all have to come off mechanically rather than be buried. Grinding back to sound concrete costs a few hours; coating over a finish that is already letting go costs you the whole floor.

Slabs poured without a vapor barrier

Concrete of a certain age was often poured straight onto ground with nothing underneath it. We test for moisture before quoting, and where it turns up we specify a moisture-tolerant primer instead of hoping the topcoat copes.

Patched and resurfaced areas

Old repairs, feathered patches and sections that have been resurfaced before all take coating differently from the concrete around them. They get ground back and evened out so the finished floor does not map every repair the slab has had.

Cracks that are still moving

A hairline crack is chased out, filled and sanded flat. A crack where one side now sits proud of the other is treated as a joint instead, because filling that one solid only means it reopens within a season.

What a Polyaspartic Floor Coating Costs in Decatur

Square footage only sets the starting point. Two Decatur garages of identical size can land a long way apart on price, and nearly all of that difference is preparation rather than the coating.

What raises a price: an old finish that has to be removed, cracking and spalling that has to be rebuilt, moisture that calls for a specialized primer, and cove base where the floor meets the wall. What keeps it down: a slab in sound condition, easy access for the grinder, and combining a garage with a basement or a patio on the same visit while we are already set up.

We quote the finished floor line by line and in writing, after standing on your concrete rather than looking at a photograph of it. If epoxy suits the space better and costs you less, we will say so.

Looking After a Decatur Polyaspartic Floor

There is very little to it, which is much of the appeal. The surface is seamless, so nothing settles into grout lines or open pores. A dust mop during the week and a rinse or damp mop when it looks like it needs one keeps the floor the way it was on handover.

A properly ground and primed polyaspartic floor will not lift under a warm tire the way garage paint does, and road salt, brake dust and spilled oil will not stain it. Sweeping loose grit up before it gets walked around the floor still protects the finish over the years.

Keep solvents and abrasive pads off the topcoat and it looks after itself. If a section is ever damaged, polyaspartic can be recoated in place without stripping the rest of the floor, which is one of the quieter advantages of the material.
