If it’s not epoxy, then what is it? And what makes our system so unique?
We get a lot of fantastic questions about our concrete floor coatings, especially after folks see the transformations on social media and hear about our lifetime warranty.
This FAQ section is the perfect place to start. And if you have any other questions that aren’t on the list, or would like to schedule a free estimate, contact us here today. We’d love to chat with you!
Okay, it’s not epoxy… So what kind of floor coating is this?
Our coatings are a cutting-edge polyurea system. It installs faster, cures faster, and offers benefits far beyond what you get from traditional epoxy.
Do your concrete floor coatings have a warranty?
Yes! Our epic, lifetime warranty is a real conversation starter, and also a real testament to how much we believe in our process and products. This system is built to perform!
Is a floor coating estimate really necessary, and what can I expect?
We know it can be tough to carve out time for an estimate, but they really are necessary. And our coating experts are friendly, professional, and efficient.
So, why are estimates so crucial? Well, we need to come and evaluate the age, nature, and condition of the space, take measurements, and perform a concrete moisture test. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach, and the price can vary drastically based on a specific set of factors.
We’ll also use the time to share coating color options, bring samples, and walk you through any other considerations.
Can you coat heated garage floors?
Yes! A radiant heat system is no issue at all.
Are your concrete coatings slippery?
Our floor coatings are smooth, textured, and not slippery. If that’s a concern, however, we can always include additives that increase the level of grip. Perfect for outdoor concrete applications or other areas that might get wet.
Can you remove a failed epoxy coating first?
Yes! Our floor prep process includes grinding the surface with our heavy-duty, industrial floor grinder. We can modify our approach a bit and make sure that your old epoxy coating is fully removed. Just another reason to upgrade your floor coating to something that will actually last!
Can I choose my floor coating’s color and texture?
Definitely! We offer a number of standard color blends for you to pick from, or else you can customize your own. And as for the texture, we can include a special additive to increase the anti-slip properties if you’d like.
Can you coat outdoor concrete floors?
Yes! In fact, polyurea is a far better choice than epoxy for outdoor coatings. Here’s why:
Durability - Because epoxy is brittle, it tends to crack, chip, and flake over time. Polyurea, on the other hand, is not only much stronger, but also much more flexible.
Strong Bond - Ever worry about hot tire pickup in the summertime? It can be a real problem for epoxy, sticking to your tires and peeling up as you drive. Polyurea actually fuses to your concrete, chemically bonding to the surface. If you can peel up our coatings, the concrete is going to be peeling right up with it.
Adaptable - Epoxy needs very specific conditions to cure properly. Thanks to that chemical reaction we mentioned above, polyurea is a lot less finicky. It cures better, faster, with less odor, and is ready for service in just a day or two.
Can you coat interior concrete?
While epoxy can fill an interior space with fumes, only made worse by its longer curing time, polyurea doesn’t create much more odor than a fresh coat of paint. That means you can get back to normal life faster.
Can you coat damaged concrete floors?
Sometimes, but it depends. This is another reason why an in-person estimate is so important. We can fill standard cracks and gaps with a specialized concrete mender, but there are definitely circumstances where more in-depth repair work needs to be done.
Do you only coat concrete floors?
Our coatings are specially formulated for concrete, yes.
How do you maintain polyurea floor coatings?
It doesn’t get much easier than this! Our floors are virtually maintenance-free, and can be cleaned with just a standard household mop. Since the floor is non-porous and seamless, it’s super easy to keep clean.
Can you coat your concrete floor yourself?
We’re big fans of do-it-yourself projects, but a premium, high-performance floor coating just isn’t something you can tackle yourself. And those epoxy kits from the big box home improvement stores? They aren’t anywhere near being in the same league. In fact, our polyurea products aren’t even available to general consumers, and can only be applied by certified Penntek installers.
This is a specialty product that requires trained professionals with serious equipment.
How long does it take to install your floor coating?
Your estimator will provide a firm timeline after reviewing your job scope in person, but most projects can be completed in 1-2 days. We have the installation process dialed in and down to a science.
How soon can I use my coated concrete floor?
You can safely walk on the floor in 24 hours, as well as put lighter items back in place. In 48 hours you can use the floor without any restrictions: drive on the surface, move heavy items back in, etc.
How do I know if I need a concrete coating?
If you own or manage a commercial space, you likely have very specific flooring requirements. We can help you with that! And if you’re a homeowner shopping for the best concrete coating available, we can help you too. Maybe you want to turn your tired, dirty garage into an attractive, organized workshop. Or maybe that underutilized basement can become a home gym, craft room, or even a home office. See the potential, and then decide if a performance floor coating offers the benefits and motivation you need to make it happen.

Our Credentials
People happy with our services
Great experience with Spectrum with completing the power washing and sealing of our deck. Robert came to repair one of the deck stairs in the morning and came back in the afternoon to assure that the deck was dried well after rain the night before. Robert and Alejandro then sanded and sealed the deck efficiently with good attention to detail. Spectrum even accommodated us supplying our own no VOC/non-toxic sealer. The deck looks like new and we are very pleased.

We had Spectrum Painting power wash and paint the outside of our house. They did such a fantastic job that we tripled the scope of the project during the process and the results are phenomenal. We wound up having them do the siding, window trim, doors, lights and much more. The end results is better then I expected. The entire Spectrum team was amazing throughout the process and on several occasions went above and beyond. I would highly recommend them.
Everyone who has an old garage should get this work done. Honestly, I am speechless at the quality of work done here. Everyone who has an old garage should get this work done.

We used Spectrum Painting to paint our laundry room, kitchen, living room, office, powder room, sitting room, 2 story foyer and hall, 2 bedrooms, master bedroom, ceilings in kitchen, living room, and foyer, 3 car garage, shutters on 13 windows, and the front door with 2 sidelights. In addition to the walls being painted all doors, baseboards, window frames, crown molding, and other trim were included. Furthermore, we had a wallpaper border removed and crown molding added in the master bedroom. The paint job took less than a week and turned out great! We could not be happier with all of the colors we chose (with the help of Pam) and the way the it turned out. Overall, the sales team, including Rich Lauretta and John Mangiafreno, the project manager Rafael, and the design consultant Pam Steinhilber were all very professional and a pleasure to work with.

Spectrum was very professional and they did a great job with every aspect of the job. They were friendly and helpful, had ideas for future projects and worked quickly and really took care in the staining of the deck. Everyone on the team was courteous.
Michael O. | Jul/19/2016
The preparation and sanding of our decks was way beyond expectations-Truly a professional execution.
Kirk and Sheri. W. | Jan/12/2015
Perfect work, responsive to ideas and questions. Clean, meticulous workspace when finished. Have known Rich for years - he and his team are the real deal - exactly what you would hope for when hiring someone to do work at your home. Would not use anyone else for painting/floor coating but Spectrum!
Katy S. | Feb/19/2021
We hired Spectrum to paint, wallpaper, remove wallpaper, build a closet, remove popcorn ceilings, and other related jobs that came up. Each day I was greeted with a smile and handshake from the crew leader and his team. At the end of the day, their enthusiasm was as strong as it was in the morning. Just an amazing group of dedicated, hardworking people. They finished our condo in record time, covered our floors and furniture, what little we had. I am sorry that we have to stop at 5 stars. They deserve at least double that number!
We moved into a condo and they were careful also about the common areas, putting down tarps and board to keep the dust off the rugs and not track onto the carpet. The building staff was so appreciative!
