(PRUnderground) December 18th, 2025
In Pennsylvania, garages see it all—snowmelt, road salt, damp springs, and long freeze–thaw seasons. That combo is hard on concrete, which makes the warranty behind your garage floor coating every bit as important as the coating itself. But many warranties in our region hide exclusions that quietly limit coverage when you need it most.
East PA Garage Floor Coating wants homeowners to know how to spot those traps before signing any contract.
Moisture Limits Disguised as “Standards”
A common tactic is the moisture loophole. Installers promote long warranties but quietly exclude failures tied to moisture thresholds like “3 lbs MVER,” “6 lbs MVER,” or specific Tramex readings.
Most homeowners never see test results before installation. When the coating blisters or peels—often because vapor pressure pushes up through Pennsylvania’s damp concrete—the installer tests afterward, points to a high number, and voids the warranty.
All of our garage floor systems include a moisture-mitigating vapor barrier primer, and our warranties provide full moisture coverage with no thresholds and no technical escape hatches.
Surprise Moisture Fees on Install Day
Another red flag is the install-day “discovery.” After grinding the slab, some contractors suddenly claim they’ve found moisture and pressure homeowners into paying extra for a special primer.
In our climate, moisture in concrete is expected.
That’s why we build moisture mitigation into every garage floor coating. No surprise fees, no “wrong primer” excuses later.
Tire Staining and Other Quiet Exclusions
Plasticizer migration—permanent tire staining—is a major issue in Pennsylvania, especially when hot tires and winter chemicals meet cold concrete. Thin epoxies and many 1-day systems are prone to staining, which is why competitors quietly exclude it as an “appearance issue.”
Our multi-layer systems use 100% solids materials, a full-broadcast flake layer, and two polyaspartic clear coats engineered to resist tire staining and seasonal contaminants.
How Pennsylvania Homeowners Can Protect Themselves
Before choosing any installer, make sure 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 complete Technical Data Sheets
If any piece is missing, the warranty likely protects the installer—not your floor.
Our team installs garage floor coatings built for Pennsylvania’s moisture, salt, and seasons, and backs them with clear, honest warranties that don’t disappear in the fine print.
