Professional vs. DIY Concrete Coatings

When looking at a project, you may be wondering if it’s worth hiring a contractor to do the work for you or if you can do it yourself (DIY). The truth is, you can do concrete coatings yourself, but there are many reasons not to, the most important of which is that a professional contractor such as Reslient Concrete Coatings understands the projects we take on and can create durable, long-lasting concrete coatings with our years of experience and knowledge in the industry. Plus, it can end up costing you more money to try a DIY concrete covering installation from a big box store, only to have it peel up within a year or two of application.

When you hire a professional team, they have processes in place they’re familiar with, but they can also adapt to any differences caused by specific jobs or environments. Even if you follow the directions on big box store products perfectly, you may not get the finished product exactly how you want. With our systems, you can rest assured that we can install your new concrete coating perfectly every time.

Mastery of Materials

We always say that different materials respond to different environments in different ways. In effect, a material may behave differently from what you’re expecting if you buy a generic product, making it difficult to install yourself. This can be especially true with concrete coatings since there are many steps and layers to the process. Our team is experienced at completing each step fully to ensure materials adhere to the concrete, cure, or set, and then are finished to perfection.

Knowledge of Potential Challenges

• Temperature: Differences in temperature, such as large changes or particularly hot or cold days, can all affect how the materials behave as we install them. Letting our professional team install them eliminates the worries around this challenge, as they can adapt to the current and upcoming temperatures perfectly.
• Humidity: Humidity can affect concrete coatings during installation, and our team can respond to this challenge and ensure your floor is covered.
• Light: Light, and specifically UV light, can damage some materials and choosing the right one takes the knowledge and practice of professionals. We use specific systems to help your concrete coating resist harm from UV.

Compliance With Building Codes

While you can certainly research the building codes around Katy, Texas, our team understands them already, saving you time and energy on learning them yourself. Further, if a project has specific guidelines we need to follow, we take those into account for the project and ensure we stay compliant. We’ve had many projects with different needs and restrictions and are happy to take on yours.

Higher Efficiency

With our knowledge, we can install your concrete coatings with more efficiency, potentially saving you the time it would take to follow an unfamiliar process. More importantly, since some concrete coatings can cure quickly, we ensure each step is completed at the right stage to finish the project with no issues. Each of these can save you money and time.

Enhanced Safety

Some of the materials we work with present hazards to a person’s health. We take all necessary precautions to protect ourselves and anyone else who may be near the project. This ensures everyone remains safe and healthy during each concrete coating installation.
