Maryland homeowners are often promised long warranties when shopping for a garage floor coating. On day one, those promises sound reassuring.
Years later, many discover the warranty has no one left to honor it.
What Happens When the Installer Disappears
It usually starts with visible failure. Peeling. Bubbling. Delamination. The homeowner reaches for the warranty.
But the installer is gone.
Many 1-day garage floor coating companies operate on speed-first business models. Their lifespan is often short:
- 1–3 years: the most common outcome
- 3–5 years: only if the process changes
- 5+ years: uncommon without strong quality control
Once the company closes or rebrands, the warranty goes with it.
Why Moisture Is the Delayed Failure Point
Fast-install systems often fail to properly address moisture moving through the concrete slab, which is one of the leading causes of coating failure in Maryland’s climate. Moisture-related issues take time to surface.
By the time they do, the installer that issued the warranty is often gone.
How a 2-Day Garage Floor Coating Is Built for Longevity
At Garage Floor Coatings of Maryland, we install hybrid polyaspartic and epoxy garage floors. They take longer to install (2 days, typically) but are designed to reduce long-term risk.
Our process includes a slower-curing moisture-mitigating vapor barrier primer; we never apply a polyurea or polyaspartic direct-to-concrete). This thick moisture vapor barrier is followed by a full flake broadcast and dual, 100%-solids clear polyaspartic topcoats. The goal is not to rely on a warranty later, but to prevent failures from happening at all.
Homeowners can also use our Live Coatings Visualizer to preview how different colors and flake blends will look in their actual garage before committing.
A Garage Floor Coating Warranty That Still Has an Owner
GarageFloorCoating.com has been in business for over 30 years and operating nationally since 2006. That longevity is why Garage Floor Coatings of Maryland offers a lifetime warranty against delamination backed by real experience.
If you are comparing garage floor coatings, ask who will still be there when the warranty is needed.
Then schedule a consultation to see what a properly built 2-day system looks like when the warranty actually has an owner.
