Question 1

What types of flooring does State 48 Floor Coating install?

Accepted Answer

We install polyaspartic floor coatings, epoxy flake systems, hardwood floors, luxury vinyl plank (LVP), tile, pool deck and patio coatings, and commercial floor systems. We are also a licensed General Contractor (ROC #324311) capable of handling full renovation scopes.

Question 2

Are you licensed and insured in Arizona?

Accepted Answer

Yes. State 48 Floor Coating is a licensed, bonded, and insured Arizona contractor — ROC #324311. We hold both a flooring license and a General Contractor license, which means we can handle flooring as part of larger renovation or construction projects.

Question 3

What areas of Arizona do you serve?

Accepted Answer

We serve the entire Phoenix metro area including Phoenix, Scottsdale, Chandler, Gilbert, Mesa, Tempe, Peoria, Glendale, and surrounding communities.

Question 4

Do you offer free estimates?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we offer free on-site estimates throughout the Phoenix metro area. Call us at 480-682-7484 or submit a request online and we'll get back to you promptly.

Question 5

Do you work on commercial projects?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We handle commercial floor coatings for warehouses, retail spaces, restaurants, gyms, and more. Our licensed General Contractor status means we can coordinate with other trades on larger commercial builds.

Question 6

What is the difference between polyaspartic and epoxy?

Accepted Answer

Polyaspartic is a newer, more advanced coating that cures faster, resists UV yellowing, and performs better in extreme heat — making it ideal for Arizona. Traditional epoxy is less expensive upfront but yellows in sunlight and can soften in high temperatures. Most of our systems use an epoxy base coat with a polyaspartic topcoat for the best of both worlds.

Question 7

How much do epoxy floors cost in Arizona?

Accepted Answer

Epoxy floor costs in Arizona typically range from $3–$7 per square foot for a standard system. Our polyaspartic systems — which outperform standard epoxy in Arizona's heat — range from $5–$10 per square foot depending on floor size, condition, and the flake or color system chosen. We offer free on-site estimates so you get an exact price for your project.

Question 8

Are epoxy floors good for Arizona garages?

Accepted Answer

Epoxy floors are popular for Arizona garages, but we actually recommend polyaspartic over standard epoxy for our climate. Standard epoxy can soften and peel in Arizona's extreme summer heat, especially near garage doors. Our polyaspartic systems are UV-stable, heat-resistant, and built to last in the desert.

Question 9

How long do epoxy floors last in Arizona?

Accepted Answer

Standard epoxy floors in Arizona can last 5–10 years but often show yellowing and peeling sooner due to UV exposure and heat. Our polyaspartic systems last 15–20+ years because they're specifically engineered to handle UV rays and high temperatures without degrading.

Question 10

Can epoxy floors be installed over existing concrete?

Accepted Answer

Yes — but proper surface preparation is critical. We diamond-grind every floor before coating to open the concrete's pores and ensure maximum adhesion. Skipping this step is the #1 reason epoxy floors fail. Every State 48 installation includes full diamond grinding and surface prep.

Question 11

How long does a polyaspartic floor coating last?

Accepted Answer

A professionally installed polyaspartic floor coating typically lasts 10–20 years or more with normal use and basic maintenance. Polyaspartic is UV-stable, chemical-resistant, and significantly more durable than standard epoxy.

Question 12

How long does installation take?

Accepted Answer

Most residential garage floor coatings are completed in a single day. With our polyaspartic system, the floor is typically walk-ready within hours and drive-ready the same day or the following morning.

Question 13

Can you coat a floor in Arizona summer heat?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Polyaspartic coatings have a much wider application temperature range than traditional epoxy, making them well-suited for Arizona's extreme heat. We schedule accordingly and take precautions to ensure proper adhesion and cure.

Question 14

Will the coating yellow or fade over time?

Accepted Answer

Not with our polyaspartic topcoat. Unlike standard epoxy, polyaspartic is UV-stable and will not yellow or fade from sun exposure — even near garage doors or in spaces with significant natural light.

Question 15

How do I maintain my coated floor?

Accepted Answer

Maintenance is simple: sweep or dust mop weekly, mop with mild soap and water monthly, and clean spills promptly. Avoid harsh acids or bleach-based cleaners. A rubber mat under parked vehicles helps prevent tire marks.

Question 16

Is hardwood flooring a good choice for Arizona homes?

Accepted Answer

Engineered hardwood is a great choice for Arizona — it's more dimensionally stable than solid hardwood in our dry climate. Solid hardwood can shrink and develop gaps without proper humidity control. We'll recommend the right product for your specific space.

Question 17

What is luxury vinyl plank (LVP) and is it durable?

Accepted Answer

LVP is a 100% waterproof, scratch-resistant flooring that realistically mimics the look of hardwood or stone. It's one of the best choices for Arizona homes due to its dimensional stability in heat and its resistance to moisture. We install quality LVP with wear layers of 12 mil or more for long-lasting results.

Question 18

Do you install tile for floors and showers?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we install tile for floors, showers, backsplashes, and outdoor spaces. We work with a wide range of tile types including porcelain, ceramic, and natural stone.

Question 19

What coating do you use for pool decks?

Accepted Answer

We use a polyaspartic-based system specifically formulated for outdoor use in extreme climates. It's UV-stable, slip-resistant, and can reduce surface temperatures compared to bare concrete — a major benefit in Arizona summers.

Question 20

Will the pool deck coating be slippery when wet?

Accepted Answer

No. We broadcast a fine aggregate into the topcoat to create a textured, slip-resistant surface that provides traction even when wet — without being rough or uncomfortable on bare feet.

Question 21

How long does a pool deck coating last?

Accepted Answer

A properly installed polyaspartic pool deck coating in Arizona should last 10–15 years with normal maintenance. Longevity depends on surface preparation quality, the coating system used, and ongoing care.

Question 22

Do you offer financing?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we offer flexible financing options including low monthly payments and promotional 0% interest plans for qualified applicants. Ask us about current offers when you request your free estimate.

Question 23

What credit score do I need to qualify?

Accepted Answer

Financing is available for a wide range of credit profiles. We work with multiple lenders to find the best option for your situation. Apply and see what you qualify for — it only takes a few minutes.

Question 24

Does applying for financing affect my credit score?

Accepted Answer

The initial pre-qualification check is typically a soft inquiry and does not affect your credit score. A hard inquiry may occur upon final approval.
