DIY Epoxy vs. Professional Installation
Just Say No To: DIY Epoxy
DIY Epoxy vs Professional Installation is a common question for Massachusetts homeowners. While DIY might seem cheaper, professional epoxy flooring installation offers better results and long-term value.
There is a good reason DIY Epoxy systems sold by big box stores, and giant online retailers, are far less costly than commercial systems-
They are vastly inferior to the high-quality commercial grade products we use in every possible way.
Investing in professional epoxy flooring installation is essential for achieving the best results. This is why you should just say no to DIY epoxy:
When considering your flooring options, the importance of professional epoxy flooring installation cannot be overstated. Choosing professional epoxy flooring installation ensures that your flooring is done right the first time. You can expect unparalleled results and a finish that reflects quality, especially with Dandy Co.'s expert epoxy flooring installation techniques.
Air pockets, bubbles, damage from hot-tire pick up, stains, yellowing, and total failures are all but guaranteed with DIY, and even lower tier 'commercial' Epoxy systems. A properly sealed premium floor system should last 25 years or more with standard residential use.Investing in professional epoxy flooring installation ensures a high-quality finish that stands the test of time. This is why hiring experts for professional epoxy flooring installation is crucial for achieving superior results.
Any savings initially found with a DIY kit will be spent in the coming years fruitlessly 'repairing', and possibly resealing your entire space all over again.Cheap DIY kits typically use very weak water based formulas, that claim grinding and proper surface preparation is not necessary.The final product will only be as good as the prepared surface underneath, which is why we meticulously prepare your floor's surface before sealing it, with the absolute best commercial grade products available.
Estimates are often higher than most customers initially expect, due to the relatively low cost of DIY kits they have also researched, but keep in mind your floor will be designed to last for 25+ years, with a 100% sealed beautiful surface.We are also confident our pricing is extremely competitive with other high-end residential Epoxy companies, and match reputable competitors quotes brought to us.For those considering a floor upgrade, professional epoxy flooring installation is the smart choice for durability and aesthetics!
What Does Dandy Use Then?
When considering your options, remember that professional epoxy flooring installation provides not only beauty but also durability and longevity. It is natural for people to wonder: What epoxy do professionals use?
Concrete is a solid foundation, but can be problematic without proper coatings, as it is porous, prone to damage, causes dust, and is unattractive- You paint your walls, so why not seal and color your porous, and dusty floors?
Adding a premium quality sealed coating transforms it into an attractive, durable, low-maintenance, and very cost effective floor.
This is a perfect long-term solution for the northeast, where water, salt, oil, and worse penetrate your garage or structure's foundation via bare cement/cracks, and the extreme temperature ranges require high-performance materials.
So here at Dandy Co., we exclusively use the best high-end commercial grade Epoxy systems available, due to superior performance in New England's harsh climate. We seal every floor in a thick UV and 'yellowing' resistant polyaspartic top coat, with anti-skid additive applied.
Though more expensive than other DIY, or lower tier floor sealing options, the return on investment for a high-end floor is exponentially greater in the long run.
Any 'savings' customers find with an inferior product/system will be spent 5x in the coming years to patch, repair, or possibly reseal their entire space, all while their garage or building foundation is vulnerable to chemical and water penetration. Benefits Of Commercial Grade Epoxy Floor Coatings. Strength: Epoxy-coated concrete is one of the strongest flooring options available, with excellent abrasion resistance that can endure heavy foot traffic, cars, and equipment.
