American Dream Flooring and Tile FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

We specialize in epoxy and polyaspartic flooring systems for residential and commercial spaces. This includes garage floors, warehouse flooring, basement coatings, and commercial facility floors. Both coating types provide durable, impact-resistant surfaces that handle heavy use, chemicals, and moisture. Polyaspartic offers faster curing times and UV stability, while epoxy provides excellent durability at a lower cost. You can choose from multiple colors, finishes, and decorative flake options to match your space. We serve properties throughout Wake County, NC and Horry County, SC.
Most flooring installations are completed in one to two days, depending on the size of your space and the specific coating system you choose. A standard two-car garage typically takes one full day. The process includes surface preparation, crack repair if needed, base coat application, decorative flake broadcast (if selected), and topcoat application. Polyaspartic systems cure faster—you can often walk on the floor within 4-6 hours and park vehicles within 24 hours. Epoxy systems may require slightly longer cure times. Weather conditions and humidity can affect timing, but you’ll get a clear timeline during your free estimate.
Yes. Professional-grade epoxy and polyaspartic floors are built for serious use. These coatings are impact-resistant, meaning they handle dropped tools, heavy equipment, and vehicle traffic without cracking or chipping. They’re also moisture-resistant and stand up to oil, chemicals, and daily wear. With proper installation and surface preparation, these floors typically last 10 to 20 years or longer in residential settings across NC and SC. Commercial spaces with heavier traffic see 5 to 10 years of solid performance before needing a refresh. The key is professional installation—DIY kits and improper prep work lead to peeling and premature failure.
Maintenance is straightforward. Sweep or dust mop regularly to remove dirt and debris that can act as abrasives. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap or pH-neutral cleaner with warm water—no harsh chemicals or acidic cleaners needed. Wipe up spills promptly, though these floors are highly stain-resistant. The seamless surface means no grout lines or gaps where dirt can hide. You don’t need to wax, seal, or apply special treatments. Most homeowners find these floors easier to maintain than bare concrete, tile, or painted surfaces. Simple care keeps them looking fresh for years.
Absolutely. You have multiple customization options to match your style and space. Choose from various solid colors for the base coat, then add decorative flakes in different sizes and color blends for texture and visual interest. Flakes also help hide dust and add slip resistance. Finish options range from high-gloss to satin, depending on the look you want. You can create anything from a clean, modern aesthetic to a granite-like appearance. During your consultation, you’ll see samples and discuss which combinations work best for your garage, warehouse, or commercial space.
Yes. Free, no-obligation estimates are standard. During the estimate, a team member will assess your space, check the concrete condition, discuss your needs and preferences, and explain which flooring system makes the most sense for how you use the space. You’ll get transparent pricing with no hidden fees. The estimate process also includes reviewing color and finish options, explaining the installation timeline, and answering any questions you have. There’s no pressure—just clear information so you can make the right decision for your property in Wake County, NC or Horry County, SC.
