RDP Epoxy and Floor Coatings

Answering Your Questions About Our Services & Process

Having your floors finished or refinished can certainly lead to a lot of questions. To help you understand your options and the services we provide better, we’ll share some of the most common questions our clients have below.

Questions About Getting Started

It’s normal to have questions at the outset of any floor coating project. Here are a few of the most common things homeowners and property managers want to know.

How do I get started?

Getting started is easy. Simply contact us to schedule a free consultation. During that consultation, we’ll learn more about your project, your space, and what you’re hoping to accomplish.

Whether you want to know more about one of our residential floor coatings, concrete surface prep, or a commercial flooring system, we’ll walk you through our offerings and recommend a solution that fits your needs.

Do you offer free estimates?

We do! We offer free estimates for residential, commercial, and industrial flooring projects throughout Southeast Michigan. Every goal and project is different, so we’ll take the time to learn more about your project and goals before providing a detailed estimate.

What happens during the consultation?

Your consultation is an opportunity for us to understand your project and for you to learn about the options available.

We’ll evaluate the condition of your concrete, learn how the space is used, explain which flooring systems might fit best, and answer any questions you might have. If concrete repairs or extensive surface prep is needed before installing your new floor, we’ll explain that as well.

What information should I have before requesting an estimate?

You don’t need to have every detail ironed out before calling us. It does help to know where your project is located, approximately how large the space is, how you plan to use the space, and whether there are any existing coatings or damage.

If you’re not sure which flooring system you want, that’s perfectly fine. We’ll help you choose the best fit during your consultation.

How do you determine which flooring system is right for my project?

Our recommendations are based on extensive knowledge and years of experience. During your consultation, we’ll look at how you use the area, the condition of the existing concrete, the amount of foot or vehicle traffic, any exposure to moisture or chemicals, and your goals for appearance and maintenance. From there, we’ll recommend a flooring system that fits those needs.

Questions About the Floor-Coating Services We Offer

Not every project calls for the same flooring system or service. These answers can help you understand what we offer and where each solution fits best.

What types of flooring systems do you install?

We install a variety of high-performance flooring systems for residential, commercial, and industrial spaces. Our offerings include epoxy floor coatings, polyaspartic floor coatings, decorative flake systems, metallic epoxy, quartz flooring, urethane concrete, and Simerrazzo™ systems.

We also provide preparation and surface cleaning services to ensure your concrete is ready for your new flooring system.

What types of projects do you take on?

We complete residential, commercial, and industrial flooring projects throughout Southeast Michigan. In addition to installing high-performance floor coating systems, we provide concrete surface preparation, concrete and adhesive removal, and garage makeover services.

What industries do you serve?

Our team installs flooring systems for homes, retail spaces, showrooms, warehouses, food production facilities, automotive shops, manufacturing facilities, and many other environments. If you’re not sure whether your project is a good fit, just ask. Chances are, we’ve worked on something similar.

Can you help me choose the right flooring system?

Absolutely. If you’re not sure which flooring system to choose, or are having trouble picking between a few options, we can help you pick the right fit. You don’t need to have all the answers before reaching out. That’s what we’re here for!

Do you offer concrete preparation services?

We sure do. Proper surface preparation is one of the most important parts of a successful flooring project. We offer services like diamond grinding, shot blasting, and adhesive removal to create a clean slate for your new flooring system.

Do you remove old coatings, adhesives, and flooring materials?

Yes. We remove old coatings, adhesives, and other flooring materials to help prepare for your new floor. We use professional-grade equipment to make sure your concrete is ready to give your new floor the best possible foundation.

Do you offer complete garage makeovers?

Yes! In addition to installing garage floor coatings, we offer complete garage makeovers to help create a cleaner, more functional space. Depending on your project, that may include junk and debris removal, drywall repair, and other finishing touches that complement your new floor.

Questions About the Concrete Floor Durability & Maintenance

It’s natural to be curious about how long your new concrete floor finish will last, as well as the kind of maintenance it’ll need. These things will help you understand the return you’ll get for your investment better.

How long do concrete floor coatings last?

A professionally installed floor coating can last for 10 to 20 years or longer, depending on the type of floor coating and how much traffic it gets. When recommending a system, we’ll consider the demands of your space to make sure our recommendation matches your space’s needs.

Which flooring system is the most durable?

There’s no single “this one is always the best, most durable option” answer because every environment is different. A residential garage floor doesn’t weather the same demands as a manufacturing facility or commercial kitchen.

Options like urethane concrete and epoxy can be excellent, highly durable options, but we’ll be sure to help you choose a flooring system that’s built for your specific application.

Are floor coatings resistant to chemicals and stains?

Yes, they are. Our flooring systems are designed to resist many of the spills and messes that can damage untreated concrete, such as oil, chemicals, or everyday stains. However, the level of protection varies by flooring system.

Are floor coatings slippery?

Not necessarily. Many flooring systems can be installed with textured finishes that improve traction without complicating maintenance. If slip resistance is a priority for your home or business, we’ll recommend a system that’s designed with safety in mind.

How do I clean and maintain my floor?

Most coated floors are easy to keep clean with regular sweeping and occasional mopping. Since the surface is seamless, dirt and spills are usually easier to remove than they are from bare concrete. The specifics of maintenance can vary a bit by floor coating, so we’ll also provide care recommendations based on the one you go with.

Can damaged coatings be repaired?

In many cases, yes. The repair method will depend on the type and extent of damage, as well as the flooring system you want to repair. We’ll evaluate the condition of your floor and recommend the most practical solution.

Questions About Floor Coating Prices

Pricing can vary quite a bit from one project to the next. These answers explain what affects cost and how we build your estimate.

How much do concrete floor coatings cost?

On average, concrete floor coatings cost between $5 and $20 per square foot. That’ll vary based on the coating you choose, the size of the space, and the condition of your concrete.

During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your project and provide a detailed estimate so you can get a better idea of what the project will cost and entail.

What affects the cost of a project?

A handful of factors can influence the cost of your floor coating installation, including the size of the area, the condition of your concrete, the amount of surface preparation required, and the type of flooring system you select.

If you choose a custom finish or your project is complex, that can factor into the cost, too. We’ll explain everything that’s included in your estimate so you can make an informed decision.

Is resurfacing more affordable than replacing concrete?

In many cases, yes. If your existing concrete is structurally sound, resurfacing or installing a floor coating can often restore its appearance and performance without the expense of replacing the entire slab. During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your concrete and let you know if resurfacing is a good option.

Are garage makeovers priced separately from floor coatings?

It depends on the nature of your project. If you want a floor coating as part of your garage makeover, we’ll include that in your estimate. Pricing ultimately comes down to the features and improvements you choose.
