Frequently Asked Questions

Epoxy Creations LLC is a family-owned, owner-operated shop based in Walton serving the Southern Tier and Delaware County area. The owner handles the prep and coating personally, covering garages, basements, commercial spaces, and decorative finishes. Call (607) 644-2211 to ask about a quote or to see the color and flake flipbook.

Price is driven by floor size, slab condition, and the system chosen — a full flake or metallic finish costs more than a solid base coat with a sealer. Cracked, previously painted, or uneven concrete requires extra prep, which adds to the total. Every quote is given in person after the slab is assessed, so the number reflects actual conditions rather than a rough estimate.

Ask whether the contractor grinds the concrete before coating — surface prep is where most epoxy failures start. Confirm the quote is written and covers prep, materials, and each coat separately. A contractor who measures in person and can show you finished jobs is a stronger signal of consistency than one who prices over the phone.

The owner visits the property to measure the floor and evaluate the slab before any number is given. The written quote breaks out prep, materials, and coats so you can see what each part covers. A 50% deposit for materials is collected after the quote is approved and the contract is signed.

The shop brings a photo flipbook of color and flake options to the consultation so you can see actual finishes before committing. Flake blends, metallic pigments, and solid colors are all available to review. Choosing the finish is part of the on-site visit, not an afterthought on installation day.

Older garage and basement slabs common across Delaware County are often dusty, cracked, previously sealed, or painted — surfaces that won't hold an epoxy bond without grinding first. Skipping or rushing prep is the main reason coatings peel. Every slab is cleaned, cracks are filled, and the surface is ground before the first coat is applied.

The shop serves Walton and the broader Southern Tier, with documented work in Sidney, Oneonta, Stamford, Hancock, Binghamton, and Apalachin. Rural Delaware County and surrounding communities are the core coverage area. If you're unsure whether your location is covered, call (607) 644-2211 to confirm before scheduling a visit.

Yes — concrete temperature directly affects how epoxy spreads and cures, and cold slabs slow both. Metallic finishes are especially timing-sensitive because the pigment work has to happen in a controlled window. Jobs in garages and barns across the region are scheduled around slab temperature, not just the calendar.

Most cracked, pitted, and worn slabs can be repaired and coated rather than replaced. Crews grind high spots, fill cracks, and address surface failures before any epoxy goes down. Coating over unrepaired damage is what leads to premature failure, so the repair step is built into every job that needs it.

Finished job photos are the clearest evidence — look for consistent coverage, clean edges, and a range of floor types and finishes. Epoxy Creations LLC documents completed work on Facebook, including metallic, flake, and decorative installs. Ask to see jobs on concrete conditions similar to your own slab.

Commercial and industrial quotes factor in floor size, expected traffic, and equipment loads — heavier use calls for a more durable system. The quote also accounts for scheduling the space to be closed for a defined window, which residential jobs don't require. Each commercial project is scoped in person so the coating system matches how the floor will actually be used.

Completed floors are smooth, seamless, and sealed with a top coat that determines gloss and wear resistance. Debris and residue from grinding and broadcast are cleaned up before the crew leaves. Cure time is confirmed before the floor is returned to use — driving or loading a floor before it's fully cured is one of the most common ways to damage a fresh coating.
