# How to compare garage-floor coating estimates

Compare preparation, removal, repairs, and the specified system alongside the price. Two quotes can cover very different work.

[Download the one-page quote worksheet (PDF)](https://fortwaynefloorcoating.com/quote-worksheet.pdf) Free to print and share. Record the details and compare two proposals.

## Send a clear garage-floor brief

- Property ZIP and approximate floor length and width
- Photos of the whole floor, visible cracks and peeling areas
- Existing paint or coating, with its product name if known
- The intended finish and whether steps or vertical edges are included
- Access dates and when people, stored items and vehicles need to return

## Check the Fort Wayne project and installer

Ask the Allen County Building Department about the proposed scope when you need permit or contractor-credential information. This guide does not determine which approval applies to a particular coating project.

- [Allen County contractor licensing](https://www.allencounty.in.gov/237/Contractor-Licensing) 

Use the county's licensing information and contact route to check the business and the credential applicable to your work. Match the business name with the written proposal.

- [Allen County Building Department](https://www.allencounty.in.gov/234/Building-Department) 

Describe whether the project is coating only or includes additional building work. Ask the department which approvals, if any, apply to that scope.

## Compare the complete coating system

Open a topic for the question to ask and what to compare.

### Preparation

**Ask:** How will the slab be assessed and prepared?

Ask what assessment of moisture and existing damage is included, and how findings affect the scope.

### Removal and repairs

**Ask:** Are old-coating removal, cracks and other repairs included?

Record allowances and the approval process for hidden conditions discovered during preparation.

### Products and layers

**Ask:** What named products make up the base, finish and topcoat?

Epoxy, polyurea or polyaspartic alone does not describe a complete installed system.

### Return to use

**Ask:** What are the written instructions for foot traffic and vehicles?

Ask how actual site conditions affect timing; do not assume a universal one-day cure.

### Warranty

**Ask:** What does the actual warranty cover and exclude?

Keep the product record, care instructions and accepted scope with the completed-work record.

This is preparation guidance, not a diagnosis or a fixed quote. Do not open electrical or pressurized equipment to complete a checklist. Local sources are independent of this website.
