Epoxy is the right base coat — hard, dense, excellent adhesion to diamond-ground concrete. Polyaspartic is the right topcoat — UV stable (won't yellow in sunlight), hot-tire resistant, and faster curing. Arturo uses both: 100% solids epoxy as the base coat, high-solids polyaspartic as the finishing coat on every installation. Read the full comparison →

Day 1: diamond grinding and prep (4–8 hours). Day 2: base coat, flake broadcast, grout coat, polyaspartic topcoat (4–6 hours). Walk-on ready in 24 hours. Vehicle traffic in 72 hours. Full hardness in 5–7 days. Most two-car garages are fully complete in two days.

Yes — the floor needs to be completely clear before Arturo arrives. All vehicles, items, shelving, and storage need to be out of the space. Arturo's crew handles everything from there.

Moisture vapor is the biggest hidden cause of floor coating failure in Missouri. It moves upward through the slab from below — and over time it breaks the bond between the coating and concrete, causing bubbling and delamination. Arturo applies a moisture vapor barrier before every base coat. Most contractors skip this step entirely. Read why prep is critical →

A properly installed Crete Creations floor — diamond ground, moisture vapor barrier, 100% solids epoxy base, full flake, polyaspartic topcoat — should last 15–20 years under normal residential garage use. The biggest factor is preparation quality. Read what makes floors last →

Standard epoxy topcoats cannot — they soften under hot tires and can be peeled off when you move the vehicle. That's exactly why Arturo uses a high-solids polyaspartic topcoat on every installation. Polyaspartic has dramatically better heat resistance and won't pick up from hot tires.
