Frequently Asked Questions

Pirate Cove Epoxy offers a 15-year warranty. Coverage, required maintenance, and exclusions are defined by the company’s written warranty terms.

The process starts by grinding the concrete to bare surface. The crew mends cracks, applies the base coat, casts flakes into the wet coating, scrapes and vacuums the excess, then applies a polyaspartic top coat.

General pricing is about $6–$11 per square foot. Garage coatings average around $2,400–$2,700, pool deck coatings average around $5,500, metallic epoxy starts around $12 per square foot, and commercial coating pricing depends on the system. Exact pricing requires surface size, condition, access, and finish choice.

Cheap floors often skip grinding, use lower-grade products, and offer little support if the coating peels. Proper prep, product selection, and a warranty-backed installation cost more than paint, but they are built to last longer.

Yes. Pirate Cove Epoxy installs garage coatings, pool deck coatings, metallic epoxy, and commercial coatings. Pool decks require different decisions because traction, bare-foot comfort, UV exposure, and standing water matter more around the pool.

Many cracks can be mended during prep before the base coat goes down. Severe movement, structural failure, moisture problems, or badly spalled concrete may need repair before coating, so Pirate Cove Epoxy inspects the surface before recommending a final system.

Scheduling depends on current workload, weather, surface condition, and material needs. Pirate Cove Epoxy follows up after estimates to confirm the available project window.

The difference starts with communication. The company responds quickly, answers calls, gives honest information, and does not push the highest-priced floor.

Keep the surface clean, rinse away sand and grit, avoid harsh chemicals that are not approved for the coating, and address damaged spots early. Pool decks should be kept free of heavy buildup from leaves, chemicals, sunscreen residue, and standing water. Follow the maintenance instructions for the installed system and warranty.
