Not in most Treasure Valley towns. A coating on an existing slab counts as finish work under the 2018 International Residential Code that Idaho cities adopt. See the rules for every town, with the office to call.

Both make a great floor. Polyaspartic cures faster and Polyrez lists its polyaspartics as UV stable, so they hold their color when the garage door is open. Polyrez says its epoxies aren’t UV stable and shouldn’t be used outdoors or in strong sun. See the side by side.

Polyrez, the coating system we use, says at least 28 days. Tell us your closing date and we’ll plan the install around it.

Yes, we install all year. Polyrez says the slab, the air and the material all need to be between 50°F and 80°F while the coating goes down, so ask us how we handle a cold garage when we quote it.

ACHD sprays liquid magnesium chloride and spreads salt on Ada County roads in winter, and it rides into the garage on your tires. The Federal Highway Administration says chemical deicers can make freeze and thaw damage to concrete worse, that surface scaling is the most common damage they cause on slabs, and that magnesium chloride and calcium chloride raise the most concern. A coating keeps that melt on a sealed surface instead of soaking into bare concrete.
