Question 1

Do you install epoxy flooring in Markham R&D and life sciences facilities?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Markham's Highway 7 tech and life-sciences corridor is a core service area. We install low-VOC, static-dissipative and cleanroom-compliant epoxy systems for R&D labs, pharmaceutical production and electronics manufacturing.

Question 2

Can you install garage epoxy floors in Unionville and Cathedraltown estate homes?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Unionville, Cathedraltown and Angus Glen garages are one of our most-requested Markham residential installs. We handle larger 3–4 car garages with metallic and premium flake systems.

Question 3

Do you serve Markham distribution and 3PL warehouses?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Buttonville, Buttonwood and the Woodbine/404 corridor are a core commercial epoxy service area. High-build epoxy, urethane cement and polyaspartic line-striping for Markham distribution and third-party logistics tenants.

Question 4

Will hot tires peel my epoxy floor in Markham?

Accepted Answer

No — our Markham garages get a polyaspartic topcoat rated for hot-tire pickup well past 300°F. Cheap big-box DIY epoxy kits peel because they lack a primer and use 50% solids resin. Buildwell installs 100% solids epoxy with a flexible polyaspartic topcoat, which is why every Markham garage we coat is backed by a 10-year hot-tire warranty.

Question 5

How does your epoxy system handle Markham winter road salt and chloride pitting?

Accepted Answer

Road salt brine is the #1 killer of bare concrete garages in Markham. Our 100% solids epoxy + polyaspartic system is fully chloride-resistant, chemical-resistant and waterproof — salt water simply beads on the surface and mops away. You'll never see pitting, spalling or efflorescence again.

Question 6

Can you cover deep oil stains and old paint on my Markham garage or basement floor?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every Markham epoxy project starts with a hot degrease, then industrial diamond grinding and shot blasting that removes the top 1–2mm of oil-soaked, painted or sealed concrete. Stains, tire marks and old DIY roll-on epoxy are mechanically removed — not painted over. We then crack-inject, patch low spots and prime before the 100% solids epoxy and polyaspartic topcoat go down, so the finished floor is a brand-new decorative surface, not a cover-up.

Question 7

Epoxy flooring vs concrete grind & seal — is epoxy right for my Markham property?

Accepted Answer

For most Markham garages, basements, showrooms and food-prep spaces, epoxy is the right call — you get a fully waterproof, decorative flake or metallic finish, 10-year hot-tire warranty and a surface that wipes clean of oil, salt and battery acid. Choose grind & seal only if you want to keep the raw concrete look at a lower price point (typical for warehouses and back-of-house retail).

Question 8

Is your epoxy floor safe for EV charging and battery acid leaks in Markham?

Accepted Answer

Yes — our 100% solids epoxy with polyaspartic topcoat is fully resistant to lithium-ion battery electrolyte, brake fluid, coolant and gasoline. Markham EV owners and Tesla service shops specifically request this system because spills wipe clean and never etch the floor.

Question 9

Do you fill control joints and cracks before installing the epoxy floor?

Accepted Answer

Always — Step 3 of our 5-step process. For Markham epoxy installs we V-cut active cracks, fill with a semi-rigid polyurea joint filler (Sika or Metzger/McGuire), grind flush and re-prime so the epoxy bonds across the repair. Skipping this is why DIY epoxy kits telegraph every crack within one winter.

Question 10

Will my Markham epoxy floor be slippery when wet?

Accepted Answer

No — we broadcast aluminum-oxide anti-slip grit into the polyaspartic topcoat at your preferred grip level (light residential, medium commercial, heavy industrial/wet-area). Every Markham epoxy floor we install meets or exceeds OSHA static coefficient of friction standards, so it stays grippy with snow, slush, oil and water.

Question 11

How long does the installation take, and when can I return to normal use?

Accepted Answer

For standard residential garage floors, our meticulous installation and curing process typically takes 3 to 4 days to ensure maximum durability. For commercial or industrial properties, timelines vary based on square footage, but we offer specialized night shift scheduling to complete the project without disrupting your business hours.
