Capital Region considerations
Road salt & brine
Cars track salt and slush into garages all winter. Salt residue can contribute to pitting and scaling of bare concrete; a sealed coating is easier to rinse clean.
Freeze-thaw on concrete
Water that soaks into concrete and freezes can cause spalling. Proper prep and crack repair before coating matter here.
Cure temperature
HomeGuide notes epoxy should be applied between roughly 60°F and 85°F and under 85% humidity (source). Ask installers about cold-weather products such as polyaspartics.
Questions & cost
DIY kit or professional?
Pros typically use grinding equipment and commercial-grade materials. Ask each installer what prep and products they use.
How long until I can park?
HomeGuide says to avoid driving on epoxy for 2–7 days depending on product; polyaspartics are often faster — ask your installer.
Will it work on old or cracked concrete?
Often, with repair. Moisture and damage are assessed during the estimate.
Does it cost anything to use this service?
No. Quotes are free and there's no obligation to hire.
