If it peels, something was done wrong, usually prep. A properly ground and installed coating should last years, not months. I tell people straight: the product matters, but prep is everything. Skip that, and it won’t matter what you use.

Yeah, but it needs to be empty at some point. Either you clear it out, or we can stage it in sections depending on the job. Most people underestimate how much space we actually need to do it right.

You can. A lot of people do, then call later to fix it. The biggest difference isn’t the coating, it’s the equipment and prep. Grinding, moisture checks, proper layering… that’s where DIY usually falls short.

This is where people get burned. Concrete can look fine and still fail underneath, dusty, porous, or holding moisture. Coating over that is like painting over dirt. It might look good for a bit, but it won’t last.

Going cheap the first time. I’ve redone a lot of floors that were “a great deal.” By the time they pay twice, it wasn’t a deal anymore. This is one of those jobs where doing it right once actually saves money.

Only if you want it to. There are clean, modern looks, textured finishes, even more decorative styles. Most people are surprised how much it upgrades the space, it doesn’t have to feel like a warehouse.
