Why We Don’t Offer 1-Day Garage Floor Systems (And What We Do Instead)

Let’s talk real quick about those “1-day garage floor coatings” everyone keeps advertising.
We get asked all the time if we offer them—and the answer is simple: Nope. And we never will.
At Gorilla Tuff Coatings, we’re not in the business of quick fixes. We’re here to build something that actually holds up.
🚫 Why We Don’t Do 1-Day Systems
Sure, 1-day floors sound great on paper: “Get in, get out, garage done in a day.” But if you’ve lived through a Hudson Valley winter or a humid New Jersey summer… you already know the weather here doesn’t play nice with concrete.
Most of those systems skip crucial prep steps—especially moisture testing. And without a solid moisture barrier underneath, that floor is gonna peel, bubble, or flake way sooner than you think.
We’ve been called in to fix those 1-day floors more than we can count.
🦍 What We Do Instead
We take a little more time—but it’s worth it.
Our floors are built in layers:
Moisture Barrier Base – to lock out vapor from the concrete.
High-Quality Epoxy Base Coat – gives it strength and deep adhesion.
Full Flake Broadcast – looks awesome and gives slip resistance.
Polyaspartic Top Coat – crystal clear, UV-stable, and tough as nails.
We don’t rush. We don’t cut corners. And that’s exactly why our floors last longer, look better, and don’t yellow over time.
🏠 We’re Not Just Doing Garages
We use this same system for basements, patios, and anywhere concrete needs protection and style. We service homes across Hudson Valley, NY and large areas of New Jersey—and we stand behind every floor we install.
👊 Final Thought
Listen, we could make more money offering 1-day jobs and calling it done. But that’s not who we are.
We’d rather take the time to do it right—once.
If you want a floor that actually holds up in the Northeast, reach out. We’re happy to break down what’ll work best for your space.
Let me know if you want to schedule a call or shoot us a message with your square footage and a few photos.
