What Homeowners Need to Know About Garage Flooring Warranties

Installing new garage flooring is a big investment—and like any home improvement, it should come with peace of mind. But in a place like Nashville, where heavy rains, humidity, and fluctuating temperatures are common, your garage floor is under more pressure than you might think.

That’s why it’s critical to understand what your warranty actually covers—before problems arise.

The Problem: Garage Flooring Warranties That Don’t Cover Real Risks

Most warranties sound good up front, but when issues show up, the fine print tells a different story. Here’s what to watch out for:

• Limited coverage periods: Many companies offering 1-day systems provide “limited lifetime” warranties—and that says a lot about how long they expect the floor to last. They reference the word “lifetime” but then add warranty exclusions to moisture-related issues and in some case, staining from hot tire transfer (they ask you to park on vehicle pads!!).
• No protection from moisture damage: Moisture-vapor transmission is one of the most common causes of garage floor failure. If your warranty doesn’t cover all moisture-related issues (e.g., moisture vapor transmission, high hydrostatic pressure, etc.), you’re not really protected.
• Excludes hot-tire transfer: Those black, sticky tire marks caused by hot tires pulling up the topcoat? Most installers don’t cover them, and removing the damage is often impossible.

In Nashville’s damp climate, a garage floor that isn’t built to handle moisture—and a warranty that doesn’t account for it—is a recipe for failure.

The Solution: GFC Nashville’s Lifetime Garage Flooring Warranty

At Garage Floor Coating of Nashville, we do things differently. Our full-flake garage flooring systems come with a lifetime warranty that covers both moisture damage and hot-tire transfer—two of the biggest threats to your floor.

Here’s why we can stand behind our work:

• We use a slow-curing, 100%-solids, moisture-mitigating epoxy base coat as a moisture vapor barrier. The thick base coat delivers excellent moisture mitigation, bonding tightly to your concrete slab and resisting hydrostatic pressure from below.
• Our two separately applied, 100%-solids polyaspartic topcoats offer maximum protection against heat, UV exposure, and tire friction.
• We follow a 2-day installation process, properly installed for lasting adhesion and durability.

Unlike rushed coating systems, ours is built to perform—and our warranty proves it.
