    Absolutely! We can assist in moving heavy items such as refrigerators and safes. Please provide any required moving equipment (e.g., dollies and straps), and we'll lend a helping hand. Contact us if you need assistance in preparing your garage epoxy floor for installation.

  • How do you repair cracks in concrete floors?

    Crack repair is a crucial step in preparing your floor for epoxy coating. We fill all cracks and divots to ensure a smooth and even surface, which guarantees the best bond for the epoxy. This process ensures your floor is structurally sound and visually appealing.

  • What is involved in preparing my concrete floor for epoxy coating?

    We begin with a thorough preparation process to ensure the best bond between the concrete and the epoxy. Using industrial-grade equipment, like diamond grinders or shot blasters, we prepare the surface by removing any existing coatings and repairing cracks, chips, and gouges. This prep work is essential for a long-lasting epoxy floor.

  • How long will the epoxy flooring installation take?

    The installation time depends on the size of the area and the complexity of the work. While smaller projects like garage epoxy floors may take just a few days, larger or more intricate jobs may take longer. We pride ourselves on quick and efficient service while maintaining high-quality results.

  • Is the installation process messy or dusty?

    We use high-quality vacuums to capture up to 99% of dust from the floor preparation process. However, some dust may still escape in uneven areas. Our team works hard to minimize mess and ensure a clean workspace for your epoxy floor installation.

  • Will my epoxy floor be slippery when wet?

    All epoxy floors are slightly more slippery when wet than untreated surfaces, but we offer a range of textured finishes to increase traction. If you’re concerned about the safety of your floor, especially in high-traffic areas, we can add anti-slip additives to your epoxy coating.

  • Can epoxy floors blister or peel?

    If epoxy is applied before the underlying concrete is fully cured, it can lead to blistering or peeling. Fortunately, Major League Epoxy is experienced in determining the best time to apply coatings to ensure your epoxy floor won’t have these issues.

  • Will epoxy floors turn yellow with sun exposure?

    Exposure to sunlight can cause some coatings to yellow. However, we assess each project and take steps to ensure your epoxy floor will not discolor. For floors exposed to direct sunlight, we use UV-resistant coatings to maintain a clean, vibrant appearance.

  • How should I maintain my epoxy floor?

    Epoxy floors are low-maintenance. Simply dust mop or sweep regularly, and use a damp mop to clean the surface. For optimal care, we recommend cleaning your floor at least once or twice a week to keep it in top condition for years to come.

  • Will oil damage my epoxy floor?

    No! Epoxy floors are resistant to oil, which will sit on top of the coating. Simply clean up any spills as soon as possible to prevent staining. Your garage epoxy floor will withstand regular exposure to oil and other substances.

  • What happens if my floor has paint or an old epoxy coating on it?

    We grind off any existing coatings, including paint or old epoxy floors, to ensure the best adhesion for your new floor. This step is essential to guarantee that the new epoxy flooring bonds properly and will last for years.

  • Do the epoxy coatings have harmful odors?

    Some epoxy coatings can have a mild odor, but we use low-VOC formulas to minimize these effects. For garage epoxy flooring installations, we recommend ventilating the area by opening the garage doors. For indoor floors, we use materials with low to no harmful compounds, ensuring a safe environment for you and your family.
