Frequently Asked Questions

We know you’ve got questions about concrete floor coatings, and we’ve got the answers!

How much do concrete floor coatings cost?

Pricing depends on the size of the area, the condition of the concrete, and the coating system being installed. Most projects are priced per square foot, and factors like crack repair, heavy grinding, or decorative finishes can affect the total cost. The best way to determine pricing is with a quick on-site evaluation and quote.

How long does installation take?

Most residential projects can be completed in 1–2 days, while larger commercial installations may take several days depending on the size of the space and system being installed. Our team works efficiently to minimize disruption and keep your project on schedule.

How long before the floor can be used again?

Many coating systems allow for light foot traffic within 12 hours and vehicle or heavy traffic within 48–72 hours, depending on the system used. We always provide clear curing timelines before starting the project.

What makes your company different from other coating installers?

At Bach Custom Coatings, every project begins with professional mechanical surface preparation, which is the most important step for a long-lasting floor. Our team has years of experience installing a wide range of systems, allowing us to recommend the right solution for each space rather than a one-size-fits-all product.

Do coatings actually last?

Yes. When installed correctly on properly prepared concrete, professional coating systems can last 15–30 years or longer, depending on the environment and traffic levels.

What types of floors do you install?

We install a wide variety of systems including:

  • Epoxy floor coatings
  • Polyaspartic and urethane coatings
  • Grind and seal systems
  • Polished concrete
  • Decorative overlays
  • Industrial and commercial flooring systems

This allows us to recommend the best solution based on durability, appearance, and budget.

How do I decide which flooring system is right for my project?

The best system depends on several factors including the condition of your concrete, how the space will be used, your desired appearance, and your budget. Because there are many different coating and finishing options available, we work with each client to determine the best solution for their specific needs. We also welcome customers to visit our showroom, where you can see and feel different coating systems, finishes, and color options in person. This makes it much easier to compare options and confidently choose the flooring system that’s right for your space.

Do you work with homeowners and businesses?

Yes. We install coatings for both residential and commercial clients throughout the Pacific Northwest. Projects range from garage floors and basements to restaurants, warehouses, retail spaces, and industrial facilities.

Will cracks and damage in my concrete be repaired?

Yes. During the preparation process we repair cracks, spills, and surface imperfections to create a solid base for the coating system.

How do I maintain a coated concrete floor?

Coated concrete floors are very low maintenance. In most cases routine sweeping and occasional mopping with a mild cleaner is all that’s required.

How do I get a quote for my project?

The easiest way is to contact us for a free estimate. We can evaluate the condition of the concrete, discuss system options, and provide a detailed proposal for your project.
