Garage Floor Coating FAQs

1. Is polyaspartic floor coating expensive? This is the one everyone asks first. The answer is, it depends on how you look at it.
   
   Over time, a 100% polyaspartic floor coating is actually very cost-effective. Are there cheaper ways to coat your floor? Sure, but you'll likely have to redo them more than once, and they won't be protected by a warranty like ours. Our floors typically last much longer than other floors, which means less cost over time — and much less disruption. (Be honest, how often do you really want to haul all your stuff out of your garage?)
2. OK, so how much does Hello Garage polyaspartic flooring cost? The answer is that it depends. The cost of installing a polyaspartic floor coating varies depending on the situation. Factors include the size of the area to be coated and the condition of the concrete underneath. Over time, though, the cost often ends up being less than those of seemingly cheaper products. The best way to get an accurate estimate for your garage is to have it inspected by one of our Garage Gurus so they can give you an exact price.
3. Can I install a polyaspartic coating myself?
   

   Professional installation ensures your polyaspartic coating looks and performs great for years to come.

   Do you have a walk-behind industrial grinder and years of experience installing polyaspartics? If your answer is no, then our answer is…well, no.
   
   The thing is, 80% of garage floor coating success comes down to surface preparation. We have the specialized tools and the expertise to do it right the first time. We ensure your concrete is free of damage, cracks and abrasions that cause other methods to fail. We also test the moisture reading of your concrete slab with a professional tool to ensure the material will adhere properly.
4. Is polyaspartic technology really better than epoxy or polyurea? In a word, yes. That's why it's been the choice of warehouses, factories and other industrial applications for 40 years. Nothing else offers the combination of granite-like looks and durability as polyaspartic. Plus, only polyaspartic floor-coating technology provides that kind of beauty and can still be installed in just about a day.
5. How long does polyaspartic floor coating take to dry? Hello Garage’s polyaspartic flooring typically takes about a day to cure. This means it cures faster than some competing products, such as polyurethanes and epoxies. In most cases, a coated garage floor can be used after 24 hours.
6. Do you offer any other floor coating options besides polyaspartic? No. We’ve done extensive research and found that a 100% polyaspartic floor coating solution is the best choice for combining superior looks and longevity. For that reason, we leave the epoxy, polyurethane and polyurea to the other guys.
7. Will my garage smell after the floor is installed? Probably for a bit — but not for long. Unlike epoxies and polyurethanes, polyaspartic floor coatings have little to no volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which means they emit very little odor. But you may smell something right after the floor is installed. This will dissipate very quickly, however.
8. How do I clean my new floor?
   

   Polyaspartic is very durable and stain-resistant, making it easy to clean and maintain!

   One of the many benefits of polyaspartic flooring is that it’s so easy to clean. Most things squeegee right off. For anything that can’t be removed by water alone, we recommend Simple Green® household cleaner.
   
   Don’t worry, though — we’ll leave you with all the information you need to maintain your floor. Plus, we’re always available by phone if you have any questions.

10. How soon can I get my floor coated? Frankly, it depends on our current workload. As you would imagine, polyaspartic flooring is popular, so we’re often quite busy.
    
    The best thing to do is to call 1.888.59.GARAGE or contact us online to find out how soon you can get on our calendar for a free estimate. We install polyaspartic flooring year-round, so sometimes it’s easier to get your garage done sooner in the winter months when we’re typically a little less busy.
11. Are you a franchise? Yes. That means all our locations are locally owned by independent operators, but they’re all backed by the power and innovation of the national Hello Garage brand. It really is a best-of-both-worlds situation.
12. How long have you been in business? Hello Garage was established in 2020, but it was founded by people whose home-service contracting roots go back to 1975 — so this stuff is literally in our blood.
