Epoxy flooring is a long-term investment that, when properly installed, can last decades and withstand heavy use – but the quality of the installation makes all the difference.
Cheap work is exactly as advertised: low upfront costs, but frequent repairs and maintenance due to quality issues. Unlicensed contractors also do not usually have liability insurance, which means that mistakes and damages come directly out of your pocket.
Save yourself money and a headache by choosing a licensed epoxy contractor to install your new epoxy flooring.
Invest in Your Floor
It may seem cheaper to hire an unlicensed epoxy contractor in the short term in an attempt to cut costs, but investing in a professional installation process will save you money in the long term. A cheap epoxy floor installation will not last as long and may need frequent repairs.
Bubbling, peeling, and chipping are all common in poorly laid epoxy. For a nice, smooth surface that lasts, make sure to hire a licensed epoxy contractor.
A Professional Eye
A huge benefit of hiring a licensed epoxy contractor is their experience. You will receive professional advice on which style, color, and finish are best suited to your business or home. There are so many different varieties of epoxy flooring, and it can be confusing to decide what will best suit your space.
If you want flakes or a special inlay, an experienced contractor will be better equipped to distribute them evenly without clumping or spacing issues. They will also take into account how much traffic your floor will need to withstand. If your project is a commercial space, they will take it into account when pouring the floor.
Take Liability into Account
Another reason to go with a licensed epoxy contractor over an unlicensed one is liability insurance. No one is immune to making mistakes, and everyone has bad days. If there are any mistakes or accidental damages to your floors it is important for all parties involved that insurance steps in and covers the cost of repairs.
Knowing that your contractor is insured takes a mental and financial burden off homeowners. Mistakes happen; make sure that you and your property are protected by choosing a professional for your epoxy floor installation.
Warranty Matters
Longevity is important, and having your epoxy floor under warranty is an important step to keeping your flooring healthy. Cracks, bubbles, and dents are all fixable issues, but unless your floors are under warranty, this means forking out more cash for repairs.
Commercial epoxy flooring experiences heavy wear and tear and may require refinishing sooner than residential spaces. If your epoxy floors are still under warranty, then this will likely be covered and not cost you a dime!
Customer Experience
Although less thought is given to it when considering new installations, good customer service can make or break your experience. Being able to talk to a knowledgeable and friendly licensed professional will make all the difference. They will provide you with:
- Solid timelines
- Accurate estimates
- Fast, accurate answers to your questions
- Friendly, professional communication
- Dependable business hours and easy availability
For the best experience, make sure your epoxy floor coating contractor is licensed and insured!
