[quote=Hobie]Since they have a 15yr warrantee they probably are already prepping well, but be sure they grind ( lightly) the concrete and you might consider some kind of slip additive. ie: No slip when wet. If they include a clear coat as well you are getting a good value.[/quote]
Yeah, I figure with the 15 year warranty they are using quality products and taking care installing it. It was very clear that they are super competent and been doing these forever.
I’ve found through my experience doing tons of renovations and projects that the ones that will stand behind their product and service with a long warranty are doing it right. And the company has actually been around long enough where you know they will honor their product.
Paul was super. He measured the humidity all throughout the garage floor and explained everything well. They will put an additional barrier to protect against humidity damage from below. That’s where the other company said they get killed on warranties and why they only offer the 1 year warranty.
That’s one reason I think mine costs a bit more. The humidity level in the front of my garage was high. So they have to put some more waterproofing material in.
I noticed when I bought my house a few years ago the previous owner was watering the side of the house too much. They had NO business watering the side of the house to the extent they were doing. As soon as I bought the house I immediately capped the sprinkler heads at both sides of the house.
Apparently, there was a bit of water under there and Paul said that it can take up to 9 years to evaporate. Even though there is no problems with foundation it just takes YEARS to fully evaporate. Which seems like where the other epoxy companies get killed. Paul, nailed it there. He even noticed that I capped the heads and said I was doing all the right things. He took care to note the gutters that I reinforced and the low water plants/landscaping I did around.
He CLEARLY knows what he is doing.
I’m totally thrilled to get it and really appreciate the referral. That’s what these boards are about. Thanks guys.
