“Lifetime warranty” sounds great, until homeowners realize how long the average 1-day garage floor coating company actually stays in business.
In Phoenix, we see it happen over and over again. Fast-moving coating companies appear, flood the market with bold promises, and then seem to vanish without a trace.
We decided to ask ChatGPT how long these companies typically last.
The answer? About three years.
- 1–3 years: the most common lifespan before closing, rebranding, or vanishing
- 3–5 years: only if the installer changes their process
- 5+ years: rare without deep technical expertise and consistent quality control
That leads to a much more important question.
Why a Garage Floor Coating Warranty Means Nothing If the Installer Is Gone
Why are companies with a three-year business lifespan offering 10-year, 20-year, or even “lifetime” warranties on a garage floor coating?
Because once the company disappears, the warranty disappears with it.
Most 1-day installers are built for speed, not long-term performance. Their systems prioritize fast installs over proper moisture mitigation, which is often where failures begin—especially in Arizona concrete slabs that experience extreme temperature swings.
When coatings start peeling or delaminating years later, homeowners are left holding a warranty that no longer exists.
How a 2-Day Coating Handles Real Conditions Long-Term
At GarageFloorCoating.com (Phoenix), our 2-day system is designed for longevity, not shortcuts.
The added day allows for the application of a slower-curing, moisture-mitigating epoxy vapor barrier primer. The moisture vapor barrier (MVB) addresses one of the most common causes of coating failure: moisture vapor transmission through the concrete. Without proper moisture mitigation, even the best-looking floor will fail prematurely.
From there, we broadcast your chosen flake blend across the surface for strength, slip resistance, and visual depth, followed by dual 100%-solids polyaspartic topcoats. The result is a garage floor coating built to withstand heat, tire traffic, spills, and daily use year after year.
A Garage Floor Coating Backed by Longevity, Not Marketing
Garage Floor Coating of Phoenix is part of a national network that has been installing garage floor coatings for over 30 years, with nationwide operations dating back to 2006. Our systems are backed by a lifetime warranty against delamination, supported by our real business history.
Because a garage floor coating should still be performing long after short-lived companies (and their warranties) are gone.
