“Lifetime warranty” is one of the most common promises homeowners hear when comparing garage floor coatings. But very few people ask the question that actually matters: How long does the company offering that warranty stay in business? In the garage floor coating industry, especially among 1-day installers, the answer is usually not very long.
- 1–3 years: the most common outcome before closing or rebranding
- 3–5 years: only when the installer changes their process
- 5+ years: rare without technical expertise, quality control, and a positive reputation
That creates a serious disconnect between marketing and reality.
Why a Garage Floor Coating Warranty Can Disappear Overnight
Why would a company with a three-year business lifespan offer 10-year, 20-year, or “lifetime” warranties on a garage floor coating?
Because once the company disappears, the warranty disappears with it.
Many 1-day systems are built around speed. Fast installs leave little room to properly address moisture moving through the concrete, which is one of the most common causes of coating failure. When adhesion problems show up years later, the installer is often long gone.
A warranty only has value if there’s a company behind it.
How a 2-Day Garage Floor Coating Is Designed for Long-Term Results
At Forte Garage Floor Coating, we install a 2-day system because longevity requires more than speed.
Our process includes a slower-curing, moisture-mitigating epoxy primer (it acts as a thick moisture vapor barrier), followed by a full flake broadcast, and two separate 100%-solids clear polyaspartic topcoats. Each layer plays a role in long-term adhesion, durability, and resistance to daily wear.
The extra day isn’t about slowing things down. It’s about building a system that holds up for decades. Because quality takes time.
And if you’re browsing finishes, our Live Coatings Visualizer allows you to preview different colors and flake blends in your own garage before committing.
A Garage Floor Coating Backed by Experience, Not Promises
GarageFloorCoating.com has been installing garage floor coatings for over 30 years and operating nationally since 2006. That history is why we offer a lifetime warranty against delamination that’s backed by real infrastructure—not marketing buzzwords.
Longevity isn’t a slogan. It’s earned.
Because a garage floor coating should last longer than the company that installs it.
