When homeowners in Sarasota shop for a garage floor coating, long warranties often sound like peace of mind. Ten years. Twenty years. Lifetime.
Before you believe any of it, there is one question that matters more than the warranty itself.
How long has the company offering it actually been in business?
Why Warranty Length Matters Less Than Company Longevity
Most 1-day garage floor coating companies do not stay in business long enough to honor the warranties they advertise.
Across the industry, the pattern is consistent:
- 1–3 years: the most common business lifespan
- 3–5 years: typically only if the installer improves their process
- 5+ years: uncommon without technical expertise and long-term quality control
When a company disappears, the warranty disappears with it. No fine print can change that.
Why Garage Floor Coating Failures Show Up Years Later
Many fast-install systems focus on speed and volume. What often gets overlooked is moisture moving through the concrete slab, which is one of the leading causes of coating failure.
In Florida, moisture-related issues are especially common and rarely appear right away. They develop slowly, weakening adhesion over time. By the time peeling or delamination becomes visible, the installer that promised the warranty is often gone.
That is why asking about company history matters more than warranty length.
How a 2-Day Garage Floor Coating Changes the Equation
At Platinum Garage Flooring, Inc., we install 2-day epoxy garage floor systems because long-term performance requires time and precision.
Our process includes a moisture-mitigating vapor barrier primer, followed by a full flake broadcast and dual 100%-solids polyaspartic topcoats. Each layer is designed to manage moisture and maintain strong adhesion over time.
Instead of relying on a warranty to fix problems later, the system is built to reduce the chance of failure in the first place.
Homeowners can also use our Live Coatings Visualizer to see how different colors and flake blends will look in their actual garage before committing.
A Garage Floor Coating Warranty You Can Verify
GarageFloorCoating.com has been in business for over 30 years and operating nationally since 2006. That history is why Platinum Garage Flooring, Inc. offers a lifetime warranty against delamination backed by real infrastructure and proven systems.
If you are comparing coatings, start by asking how long the installer has been around.
Then schedule a consultation with Platinum Garage Flooring, Inc. to see what a properly built 2-day system looks like when the warranty is supported by a company that will still be there.
