Why we don't install epoxy in Hammond

The truth about epoxy garage floors — and why we don't install them.

Most epoxy floor installers learned the trade 15–25 years ago, when epoxy was the only game in town. The chemistry has moved on. Modern polyurea and polyaspartic resins outperform epoxy on every measurable axis that matters for a garage. We made the switch in 2010 and never looked back. Here's what you'd run into with an epoxy install — straight, no marketing fluff:

Epoxy What most installers still use
  • Yellows in sunlight. Epoxy chalks and turns amber within a year of UV exposure. If your garage door is open during the day, an epoxy floor visibly degrades in your first summer.
  • Peels under hot tires. Hot-tire pickup is real. Pull a hot SUV onto epoxy in July, and the heat softens the resin where the tire contacts the floor. Lift the tire next morning, and the coating lifts with it.
  • Cracks across freeze-thaw. Epoxy is rigid. Wisconsin slabs expand and contract every winter. Rigid coatings on a moving slab fracture along the joints.
  • Cures in 3–7 days. Garage out of service for a full week. Standard epoxy is solvent-borne and slow.
  • Acid-etch prep is common. Cheap epoxy installs skip diamond grinding and use muriatic acid to "open" the slab. The bond is chemical, not mechanical, and fails sooner.
Polyurea + Polyaspartic What we install instead
  • UV-stable for life. Polyaspartic topcoat does not yellow, ever. We back the no-yellow performance with a separate lifetime warranty against UV fading.
  • Heat-resistant. Polyurea handles hot-tire contact at temperatures epoxy can't approach. Drive on it daily in August — no pickup, no peeling.
  • Flexible. Moves with the slab. Polyurea is roughly 100% more flexible than epoxy. When your concrete shifts through a Wisconsin winter, the coating moves with it instead of cracking.
  • Cures in 24–48 hours. Walk on it in 24 hours, drive on it in 48. Garage usable again the same weekend.
  • Diamond-ground prep on every install. Industrial diamond-tooled grinders open the concrete pores and remove contaminants. Mechanical bond. The reason our coatings stay bonded when others peel.

That's the why. Polyurea costs roughly the same as a professional epoxy install ($7–9 per square foot for a flake system, fully warrantied), and it outlasts the epoxy floor by a factor of 10. There's no scenario where epoxy is the better choice for a Wisconsin garage. So we don't install it.

Hammond Pricing

Garage Floor Coatings cost in Hammond, WI: $7–9 per sq ft.

We post pricing because you deserve to know if we're in your budget before we drive out. Every number below is for our standard polyurea + polyaspartic flake system, fully installed, warrantied, and including diamond-ground prep + crack repair. (For reference: a professional epoxy install runs about the same — $5–8 / sq ft — but doesn't last. The math is on polyurea's side.)

The 6-step install

How we install your floor in Hammond.

Same checklist on every floor. The reason our coatings still look new at year ten when the cheap stuff peeled in year two.

  1. 01

    Diamond grinding

    Industrial diamond-tooled grinders open the concrete pores and remove contaminants, paint, sealers, and the weak surface layer of concrete. We never acid-etch — diamond grinding is the only method that creates a permanent mechanical bond.
  2. 02

    Crack & joint repair

    Every visible crack, control joint, and spall is filled with flexible polyurea joint filler. The filler bonds to the concrete and moves with the slab through freeze-thaw, instead of fracturing along old crack lines.
  3. 03

    Polyurea basecoat

    A fast-cure polyurea basecoat is rolled on at full mil thickness. This is the structural layer of the system — what gives the coating its flexibility, slab adhesion, and impact resistance.
  4. 04

    Full flake broadcast

    Decorative flake (your custom color blend) is broadcast to refusal across the entire wet basecoat, then scraped flat once cured. The flake locks into the polyurea and provides the texture, color, and slip resistance.
  5. 05

    Polyaspartic UV topcoat

    A UV-stable polyaspartic clear topcoat seals the system. This is the layer that resists hot tires, road salt, oil drips, brake fluid, and direct sunlight. Walk on it in 24 hours.
  6. 06

    Written 15-year warranty

    You receive a written 15-year warranty against chip, crack, and peel under normal residential use, plus a separate lifetime warranty against UV fading. Real warranty, not a marketing line — see the document at quote time.

Hammond questions

Common questions for Hammond homeowners.

Is Hammond too small to serve?
No — we batch Hammond with corridor neighbors (Roberts, Baldwin, Woodville). Same install quality and 15-year warranty as anywhere else.
How long is the drive from River Falls?
About 30 minutes east via Highway 12. Easy install territory.
Is polyurea actually better than epoxy for a garage floor?
Yes, in every measurable way relevant to a garage. Polyurea is roughly 100% more flexible (critical for Wisconsin freeze-thaw), UV-stable (won't yellow in sunlight), heat-resistant (no hot-tire pickup), and cures in 24–48 hours instead of 3–7 days. Epoxy was the standard 25 years ago. The chemistry has moved on. The only reasons epoxy is still installed are inertia and lower material cost — and the material cost difference is small once you factor in failure rates.
How much does an epoxy garage floor cost vs a polyurea floor?
A professional epoxy garage floor installation cost in River Falls, WI typically runs $5–8 per square foot installed. Our polyurea + polyaspartic system runs $7–9 per square foot — slightly higher than epoxy, dramatically longer lifespan. A 2-car garage on polyurea is roughly $3,000–$4,500 fully installed. A DIY epoxy kit is $200–500 in materials but fails within 2 years on average.
How long does a polyurea garage floor coating last?
15+ years under normal residential use, often longer. We back chip / crack / peel under our written warranty for 15 years, and the polyaspartic topcoat carries a separate lifetime UV-fade warranty. Real installs from 2005–2010 are still in service today, looking essentially the same as install day.
Can you install polyurea over an existing epoxy garage floor?
In most cases, yes — but only if we can grind the existing epoxy completely off first. Polyurea will not bond reliably on top of cured epoxy because the underlying coating is the failure point. Our standard prep removes whatever's on the slab down to clean concrete, and we go from there.
How long until I can park on a new garage floor coating?
Walk on it in 24 hours. Drive on it in 48 hours. We schedule installs to give the topcoat a full overnight cure before vehicles return. The cure time advantage over epoxy (which needs 3–7 days) is one of the bigger practical wins.
Will the floor crack through a Wisconsin winter?
Polyurea is engineered for slab movement. The basecoat is roughly 100% more flexible than epoxy and moves with the concrete through every freeze-thaw cycle. We've installed polyurea floors across western Wisconsin and the east Twin Cities since 2003 — the warranty exists because the failure mode genuinely doesn't happen on properly prepped polyurea.
What's the difference between polyurea, polyaspartic, and epoxy?
Epoxy is a slow-curing two-part rigid resin originally for industrial floors; consumer-grade epoxy is essentially a thicker housepaint. Polyurea is a fast-cure flexible elastomer with high tensile strength. Polyaspartic is a sub-class of polyurea that's UV-stable and clear — used as the topcoat over polyurea. Our system is polyurea base + polyaspartic top, the industry-standard "Polyurea+PA" build.
Are box-store DIY epoxy kits worth installing?
For a $200–500 spend on a 2-car garage, you get a coating that looks great in week one and fails somewhere between month four and year two. If you'll re-coat every 1–2 years, it's "fine." If you want a one-and-done floor, the math doesn't work — you'll spend more on three DIY recoats than on a single professional polyurea install.
What's covered under your 15-year warranty?
Our 15-year limited warranty covers chip, crack, and peel of the coating system under normal residential use. Separately, a lifetime warranty covers UV fading on the topcoat — meaning the color will not yellow or chalk in sunlight, ever. The warranty does not cover damage from abuse, neglect, or improper chemical exposure (battery acid, paint stripper, etc.). It's a real warranty document — not a marketing line.
Do I need to clear out my whole garage before the install?
Yes, the floor needs to be completely empty of vehicles, storage, shelving contents, and tools. Permanently mounted items (water heater, furnace, support posts, mounted shelving) we plan around. Tip: clear the garage the day before. It always takes longer than people expect.
