Western Colorado garage floors take a beating—sun, snow, freeze–thaw cycles, and dry-climate vapor movement all work against concrete. Under these conditions, the warranty behind your garage floor coating is just as important as the system itself. Yet many warranties in our region contain loopholes that quietly limit coverage the moment a problem appears.

Garage Floor Coating of Western Colorado wants homeowners to understand the traps before signing a contract.

Moisture Exclusions: The Most Common Warranty Trap

Many installers advertise long warranties but hide clauses tied to moisture thresholds like 3 lbs or 6 lbs MVER, or Tramex meter readings homeowners never see. These numbers sound technical, but they’re used to void warranties after a failure.

In Western Colorado’s freeze–thaw climate, moisture vapor naturally rises through concrete. When a coating lifts or blisters, installers often test afterward, point to a high number, and deny coverage.

Our systems remove that loophole entirely. Every garage floor coating we install includes a moisture-mitigating vapor barrier primer, with no moisture exclusions—ever.

The Day-Of Moisture “Discovery” Trick

Another common tactic is the surprise moisture upcharge. After grinding the slab, the installer suddenly claims the floor needs a special primer and adds hundreds of dollars to the invoice.

But here, moisture in concrete is normal, especially during seasonal transitions.

Garage Floor Coating of Western Colorado includes moisture mitigation automatically. No unexpected fees, and no day-of pressure tactics.

Tire Staining: The Quiet Exclusion

Plasticizer migration—permanent tire staining—is a major issue in climates with winter chemicals and fluctuating temperatures. Many thin epoxy and 1-day systems can’t resist it, so installers quietly exclude tire staining from their warranties.

Our multi-layer systems are engineered differently. Using 100% solids materials, a full-broadcast flake layer, and two polyaspartic clear coats, our coatings resist tire staining, winter contaminants, and UV exposure common in Colorado’s high-altitude sun.

How to Identify a Real Warranty

Before choosing a contractor, confirm that the warranty:

• covers all moisture-related issues
• includes moisture mitigation on every job
• does not exclude tire staining
• covers both materials and labor
• is backed by full Technical Data Sheets

If anything is missing, the warranty likely favors the installer.
