Concrete faces intense sun, heat expansion, and year-round vapor movement from the desert soil in Arizona. Those conditions make one thing very clear: your warranty matters as much as the garage floor coating itself. But in this industry, most warranties aren’t built to protect homeowners. They’re built to protect the installer.
GarageFloorCoating.com (Tucson) wants homeowners to know exactly what to look for before signing anything. These five questions reveal more about a company’s integrity than any brochure ever could.
- “Does your warranty cover all moisture-related issues—yes or no?”
This is the single most important question in the entire garage floor coating process. Many companies advertise long warranties but hide moisture exclusions deep in the fine print. They use moisture thresholds (3 lbs MVER, 6 lbs MVER, or confusing Tramex readings) as built-in escape clauses.
But vapor transmission is constant, meaning these exclusions wipe out the warranty the moment a failure occurs.
- “Do you apply that moisture-mitigating primer on every job?”
If the answer is anything other than yes, that’s a red flag.
Many contractors only “discover” moisture on install day after grinding the concrete and then pressure the homeowner into unexpected upcharges. But moisture in concrete is not a surprise, it’s predictable.
Our Tucson team includes a moisture-mitigating vapor barrier primer automatically, without surprise charges.
- “Is tire staining excluded anywhere in your warranty?”
Plasticizer migration—permanent tire staining—is extremely common in Arizona’s heat. The hotter the slab, the more tire compounds leach into coatings. Most 1-day systems, thin epoxies, and lower-grade polyaspartics can’t handle it, so competitors quietly exclude tire staining.
Our multi-layer systems resist plasticizer migration using industrial-grade materials, a full-broadcast flake layer, and two polyaspartic clear coats engineered for Tucson’s harsh environment.
- “Is the warranty full coverage, including materials and labor?”
Many companies offer “lifetime warranties” that cover almost nothing when something goes wrong. If labor or materials are excluded, the homeowner ends up paying the majority of the cost to fix the contractor’s mistake.
GarageFloorCoating.com (Tucson) provides full-coverage warranties, no loopholes.
- “Can you provide Technical Data Sheets for every product you install?”
If an installer hesitates or can’t produce the information, the products are likely thin, untested, or not suitable for Tucson conditions.
