A professionally installed epoxy floor can last 10–20 years, depending on prep work, traffic, and whether a polyaspartic topcoat is applied.

Epoxy is a coating that creates a sealed, protective layer, while polished concrete is a mechanically refined concrete surface that becomes smooth, reflective, and extremely durable.

Both flooring options are low-maintenance—usually just regular sweeping, light mopping, and avoiding harsh chemicals.

Minor cracks, pits, and surface damage almost always need to be repaired to achieve a smooth, high-quality finish, and we handle all repairs as part of the installation.
