Once you receive your quote, only a few things can affect the final price:

1. Color or flake style upgrades

2. Add-ons like trailer rentals or moving your belongings.

3. Virtual quote adjustments if we discover hidden damage or measurement discrepancies

No matter what, we will always communicate with you ahead of time if anything is going to impact your pricing. No surprises—just honest, transparent service from start to finish.

If you need a place to store your belongings during the project, we’ve got you covered! We offer an enclosed trailer rental that can be delivered right to your driveway. It’s secure, weatherproof, and gives you a convenient place to keep your items safe and out of the way while we work.

Just let us know if you’d like to include the trailer with your project—we’ll make the process easy!

Yes, we do! We offer moving assistance to help get your belongings in and out of the workspace safely. You can pair this with our enclosed trailer rental for secure on-site storage, or simply hire us to handle the moving—no trailer required.

Just let us know during your quote if you’d like us to take care of it, and we’ll make sure it’s built into your plan.

Yes! We offer a referral program as a thank-you for spreading the word about NuWave Garages. You’ll receive a $50 Visa gift card for every referral who books a service with us.

If your referral books their project before your own installation is complete, you also have the option to apply a $50 credit directly to your final invoice instead.

It’s our way of saying thanks for your support!

Yes! If you provide us with a quote from a reputable company using comparable products and scope of work, we’re typically able to match it—even if it’s a promotional offer from a franchise. We’re committed to offering competitive pricing without sacrificing quality or service.

We offer a limited lifetime warranty on all residential Polyaspartic flooring installation and a 5 year warranty on all concrete sealing. If anything goes wrong, we stand behind our product and workmanship—no runaround, no disappearing acts.

Even if the issue is due to accidental damage, don’t hesitate to reach out. We genuinely want your floor to look as good as you do, and we’re happy to assess and help however we can.

Polyaspartic floors are incredibly low-maintenance! Since they’re non-porous and resistant to mold, mildew, and stains, cleaning is quick and easy. Just sweep regularly and mop as needed using a pH-neutral cleaner like Simple Green—no harsh chemicals or fancy products required.

If you prefer to pressure wash, be sure to use the lowest power setting or a wide nozzle tip, and avoid spraying point-blank. Keep the nozzle at least 6 inches from the floor to prevent damage to the coating.

Most polyaspartic floor installations take 2 days to complete, followed by an additional 2–3 days of cure time before the area is ready for full use. While some companies advertise one-day installs, most polyaspartic manufacturers do not recommend this as best practice. We stick to the recommended two-day process to ensure each coat cures properly for long-term durability.

Larger or more complex projects may take a bit longer, but we’ll always provide a clear timeline upfront—no surprises.

Yes! We can install Polyaspartic flooring in most weather conditions. On occasion, we may have to postpone due to severe weather. 

Absolutely! Polyaspartic flooring is perfect for basements, patios, and garages. It is non-porous, waterproof, and resistant to mold and mildew, making it an excellent choice for areas prone to moisture. It also handles outdoor weather fluctuations and UV exposure with ease.

No, we do not use acid etching—and for good reason. While it’s a common DIY method, acid etching is harmful to your health, damaging to the environment, and ultimately ineffective at properly preparing the surface for a long-lasting coating.

At NuWave Garages, we mechanically grind every square inch of the concrete before applying any coating. This process opens up the pores of the concrete and removes contaminants, ensuring the best possible adhesion and long-term durability. It’s a cleaner, safer, and far more reliable method that sets our work apart.

The short version? Polyaspartic is epoxy’s tougher, longer-lasting cousin.

Here’s what really sets it apart:

• Stronger & More Flexible: Polyaspartic handles impacts, chemicals, and hot tires better than epoxy. It doesn’t peel or chip as easily, especially in garages and workshops.

• UV-Stable: Unlike epoxy, polyaspartic won’t yellow in the sun—making it a better fit for areas with natural light or exposure to the elements.

• Faster & Smarter Curing: It cures faster and can be installed in cold temperatures, which is a huge advantage in Colorado’s unpredictable weather.

• Longevity: When installed correctly, a polyaspartic system can last decades. Epoxy may look good early on, but it often breaks down faster and needs to be redone sooner.

We’ve worked with both, and while epoxy still has its place, we use polyaspartic because it outperforms in nearly every way—and we want your floor to last.
