Not every contractor who advertises "garage floor coating" is qualified to do it well. Here's what to look for when you compare local quotes:
- Verify Alabama licensing
Any contractor doing work over $10,000 requires an Alabama Home Builders License. Coating jobs under that threshold don't strictly require it, but a licensed contractor signals professionalism. Verify at the Alabama Home Builders Licensure Board.
- Confirm insurance coverage
General liability AND workers' comp. If a worker gets hurt on your property and the contractor isn't covered, you may be liable. Ask for certificates of insurance, not just verbal assurance.
- Ask about concrete prep method
This is the single most important technical question. The correct answer is "diamond grinding" or "shot blasting." Acid etching is obsolete and leads to coating failure. Pressure washing alone is inadequate. Any contractor who skips mechanical prep is cutting corners.
- Get the system specifics in writing
The quote should specify: coating type (polyaspartic/epoxy/polyurea), brand name, mil thickness of each layer, flake coverage percentage, topcoat system, and warranty terms.
- Compare warranties carefully
Look for 10+ year warranties covering peeling, delamination, and yellowing. Some national franchises offer "lifetime" warranties with so many exclusions they're worthless. Local contractors often offer straightforward 10–15 year coverage.
- Check recent local references
Ask for photos of installations completed in the past 6 months in North Alabama. A good contractor has a portfolio and will share it without hesitation.
- Get 2–3 quotes minimum
Pricing variance can be 30–50% between contractors for the exact same scope. Multiple quotes give you leverage and help identify red flags — outliers on both the high and low end are usually problematic.
What Quality Installation Looks Like
When a contractor does the job right, here's what you should see during the install:
- Diamond grinder or shot blaster used to profile the concrete — creates a rough texture for bonding
- Cracks filled with polyurea crack filler before coating
- Expansion joints either filled or maintained (not just coated over)
- Moisture testing if installing over a slab with known moisture issues
- Base coat applied uniformly with no thin spots
- Full flake broadcast to rejection (floor completely covered before scraping)
- Excess flake scraped and vacuumed before topcoat
- Topcoat applied at specified mil thickness — not thinner to save material
- Final cleanup and a walk-through with you at completion
- Written warranty documentation at the end
Red Flags — Walk Away From These Contractors
- Quote given "sight unseen" without inspecting the concrete — no serious applicator does this
- "Special today only" pricing that pressures you to sign on the spot
- Acid etching proposed instead of diamond grinding for surface prep
- Refusal to provide written warranty documentation
- Cash-only payment demanded
- No local address or business phone number — just a mobile number and a P.O. box
- Extreme low-ball pricing (30%+ below others) — signals thinned materials or missing prep steps
- Vague system specifications — "epoxy" without brand, mil thickness, or warranty terms
