Why Hire an Epoxy Flooring Contractor?

Picture
Epoxy flooring installation can be a do-it-yourself project. Epoxy flooring installation is a three-step process.

  1. Floor Preparation and Cleaning. Before applying epoxy coating the floor needs to cleared of any stains and must be as clean as possible.
  2. Application of the Primer. Apply primer on a clean floor surface just as you would apply regular paint. Allow the primer to stand for a couple of hours.
  3. Application of the Finish. When the primer has dried up, you are now ready to apply the epoxy finisher. Apply the finish in the same way you did with the epoxy primer. Allow the epoxy coating to settle for about 6 hours or overnight. Sweep the floor and apply a little polish.

If you are a handyman and into DYI projects, you might be able to handle the job. However, if you are in doubt, it would save you a lot of time and money if you hire an epoxy flooring contractor.

Why Hire a Pro?

Hiring an epoxy flooring contractor will give you a lot of benefits:

  • Full Knowledge

When you choose an epoxy flooring contractor, you will be working with professionals who have the expertise to coat epoxy on your floors the right way. They know what they do and guess work is completely eliminated.

  • Right Equipment and Tools

The right tools get the job done right. A professional epoxy contractor will use a mechanical grinder to prepare the floor surface before applying the epoxy coating. This will ensure that the floor is completely clean and ready for the epoxy coating.

Additionally, grinding the floor prior to epoxy application will make the coating penetrate deeply into the floor before it hardens.

  • Right Materials

There are two important things that make epoxy garage coating last long. The concrete and the epoxy coating needs to have a firm bond. The floor needs to be solid enough to last long. These can be achieved if 100% pure epoxy is used and the right amount is applied.

The balance between pure epoxy and the right quantity are things a professional epoxy flooring contractor knows by heart.

If you want to take the guess work out of epoxy flooring application and be stress-free, hire an epoxy flooring contractor. It will save you money because they will do it right the first time!
