Fast and Flimsy: The Truth About 1-Day Garage Flooring

If you think a 1-day garage flooring system is a great deal, think again. These rushed jobs might look nice for a while, but before long, they start to peel, bubble, and crack. Why? Because speed doesn’t equal quality—and cutting corners comes at a cost.

At Garage Floor Coating of the Front Range, we’ve seen it all. Homeowners who trusted quick-fix installers end up paying twice—once for the cheap job, and again when it starts to fail. Moisture issues, weak adhesion, and surface wear are all inevitable when a floor isn’t installed the right way.

Why 1-Day Garage Flooring Fails

Proper epoxy garage flooring requires time and preparation. One-day installers rely on weak surface prep and rushed applications, skipping the necessary steps that ensure a long-lasting bond. Ask them about their moisture warranty—if they even offer one.

Here’s how our 2-day process guarantees quality:

• Day One: We mechanically grind the concrete with diamond grinders and patch cracks, pitting and breaks in the concrete. We then apply our high-build, moisture-mitigating 100%-solids epoxy primer coat; it’s slow-curing, so it deeply penetrates and bonds with the concrete slab. We then broadcast the selected flake blend into the thick primer coat.
• Day Two: We add two separate 100%-solids polyaspartic clear topcoats. The dual top coats resist fading due to UV light, impacts, and staining from automotive fluids and hot-tire transfer.

Tired of Failed Garage Floors? Choose a System That Lasts

You wouldn’t trust a contractor who promises to fix your roof in a single day—so why trust them with your garage flooring? These one-day polyurea-polyaspartic systems might be fast, but they don’t stand a chance against Colorado’s fluctuating temperatures and moisture levels.

At Garage Floor Coating of the Front Range, our system is built to last, and we warranty against moisture-related failures. Can 1-day installers say the same?
