Atlanta’s heat, humidity, and year-round moisture movement create tough conditions for concrete. Under these stresses, the warranty behind your garage floor coating becomes just as important as the materials and installation. Yet across the Atlanta market, many warranties contain hidden exclusions that quietly shift responsibility away from the installer.
Garage Floor Coating of Atlanta wants homeowners to understand these gaps before signing any contract.
Moisture Thresholds: The Hidden Clause That Voids Most Warranties
Most installers talk about “lifetime” or “20-year” warranties but bury moisture exclusions behind technical language—3 lbs or 6 lbs MVER, or Tramex readings homeowners never see recorded. These numbers appear scientific, but their purpose is simple: to void the warranty as soon as moisture causes a problem.
In Atlanta’s humid climate, moisture vapor is constant. When a coating blisters or peels, installers often test afterward, point to a high reading, and claim the warranty no longer applies.
We eliminate that loophole entirely. Every garage floor coating installation includes a moisture-mitigating vapor barrier primer, and our warranties include full moisture coverage with no technical “thresholds.”
The Install-Day Moisture Upsell
Another common tactic in Georgia is the surprise moisture upgrade. After grinding your concrete, some installers suddenly claim the slab has moisture issues and pressure you into paying for a special primer.
But in Atlanta’s humidity, moisture is expected—not unexpected.
Our systems include moisture mitigation automatically. No add-ons, no day-of surprises, and no “you didn’t buy the right primer” arguments down the road.
Tire Staining: The Clause Most Companies Stay Quiet About
Plasticizer migration—permanent tire staining—is especially common in the Southeast, where hot tires meet warm slabs. Many 1-day systems, thin epoxies, and low-grade polyaspartics can’t resist it, which is why competitors exclude tire staining under “appearance issues.”
We engineer our coatings differently. Using 100% solids materials, a full-broadcast flake layer, and two polyaspartic clear coats, our installations resist tire staining even in Atlanta’s high-heat conditions.
How to Protect Yourself Before Choosing an Installer
Before committing to any garage floor coating company, 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 supported by full Technical Data Sheets
If anything is missing, the warranty likely favors the installer, not the homeowner.
