Name the products and layers
Ask which products are proposed and what each layer does. Request manufacturer information for the actual system. Broad claims about a material should not replace the details of the specified installation.
Match the proposal to the surface
The quote should account for the existing concrete, old coatings, and the intended garage use. Clarify removal, repairs, and preparation before comparing finish options.
Confirm the use and care instructions
Ask when foot traffic, stored items, and vehicles may return. Confirm the written warranty, exclusions, and maintenance instructions. Timings and performance claims need to apply to the actual system and conditions.
| Proposal item | Detail to request |
|---|---|
| Preparation and assessment | Ask how the existing slab, old coating and visible damage will be assessed, and what preparation is included. |
| Coating layers | Request the actual manufacturer and product names for the proposed base, finish and topcoat. Ask what each layer contributes to the specified system. |
| Use and warranty | Obtain written return-to-use and care instructions for the actual products and conditions, along with warranty coverage and exclusions. |

Questions about this request
Is polyaspartic always better than epoxy for a garage floor?
A material name alone does not define the installed result. Compare the proposed products, preparation, repairs and use requirements for your actual slab. Ask the installer for the manufacturer's information supporting the chosen system rather than accepting a universal ranking of material names.
Can I drive on a new coating the next day?
Ask for the actual system's written vehicle return-to-use instructions. Confirm how site conditions and the specified products affect timing before arranging installation. This website does not promise a universal one-day cure or installation window.
