In Pennsylvania—especially across the Northeast where freeze-thaw cycles, rain, and moisture-vapor pressure are constant challenges—your garage flooring needs more than just a nice finish. It needs a warranty that actually protects your investment.
Before you sign a contract, ask these five essential questions to make sure you’re covered.
5 Questions to Ask About Garage Flooring Warranties in PA
✅ How long does the warranty last?
A short warranty or “limited lifetime warranty” are often tied to 1-day installs. (Limited lifetime warranties often exclude moisture related issues or hot-tire transfer). That limited coverage usually reflects lower quality materials, poor application process, and thus minimal long-term confidence.
✅ Does it protect against moisture damage?
Moisture from beneath the slab is the number one cause of coating failures. If the warranty excludes failure due to moisture, you’re on your own if peeling or bubbling starts to appear. When looking at the warranty exclusions, look for terms like “moisture-related issues“, “moisture vapor transmission” or hydrostatic pressure“.
✅ Is hot-tire transfer covered?
Hot tires can pull coatings loose or leave permanent black stains. Most companies don’t warrant against this, even though it’s a common problem.
✅ What type of base coat is used?
1-day systems often use a polyurea or polyaspartic as the base coat to finish faster. But these coatings cure so quickly that they doesn’t have time to penetrate deeply into the concrete, leaving behind a thin, less durable bond.
✅ Is it a 1-day or 2-day system?
It’s not just about the install time—it’s about what’s sacrificed for speed. GFC’s 2-day system uses a moisture-mitigating epoxy as the base coat, allowing for deeper concrete penetration and better adhesion.
