How Long Garage Epoxy Lasts in Boise
“How long will it last?” is the first question after color. Honest answer: lifespan tracks prep, chemistry, UV, and how you use the garage — not a single brochure number. We’re Boise Garage Epoxy.
What drives lifespan in the Treasure Valley
Well-prepped professional systems in residential garages often serve many years when mils are adequate and topcoats match sun exposure. Thin DIY films over sealer can fail in a single hot-tire season. Climate stressors here include winter chloride, summer UV through open doors, and thermal swings.
