POLYASPARTIC VS. EPOXY FLOOR COATING IN KANSAS CITY METRO & MID-MISSOURI

PolyMagic PierMagic • July 21, 2025

Many of us have seen the transformative before and after pictures of the garage floors that have that WOW factor. The garage floors that look so good you don’t even want to drive your car into them! Well, these aren’t the DIY epoxy floors… trust the experts to coat your garage floors with the polyaspartic process. Among many other benefits, the immediate increase in your home value is worth it! 


We have seen several DIY epoxy flooring failures, but understand the appeal of trying it. It seems cheaper, easier/less hassle, and *should* have a nice and sleek finished look. However… with all things that seem too good to be true, they are in this case. The floor coating experts at PolyMagic are equipped to offer the best solutions for your concrete flooring upgrades. From man caves and garage floors to patio and pool areas, our polyaspartic garage floor coatings have several advantages compared to the epoxy coatings.


Let’s compare Polyaspartic vs. Epoxy Floor Coating:


  • Polyaspartic Garage Floor Coatings won’t peel or flake like the epoxy floor coatings (especially the DIY jobs)
  • Epoxy curing time is length… up to a week…. Polyaspartic only takes about a day (you are able to walk on the surface in SIX hours!)
  • Polyaspartic has evenly distributed color flakes across the flooring – epoxy usually has the base coat show through
  • Polyaspartic is 10x MORE DURABLE than epoxy. This is crucial for areas such as the garage where you have vehicles driving in and out, have oil and chemical spills, etc.
  • Polyaspartic can have a non-slip texture applied, which is ideal for pool or garage areas that experience water, ice, or spills.


Check out the project below from a recent customer in Kansas City. The customer wanted to add a sleek and updated look to their existing garage floor. After selecting the Domino flaking look, the project began and within a day, the homeowners had an entirely new space. The team at PolyMagic even came in and repaired the blemished concrete areas to ensure the final product was nice and smooth! Talk about an upgrade – both aesthetically and for home values. PolyMagic also offers temporary storage for homeowners to keep their belongings during the coatings project.

Missouri weather is tough on concrete. Kansas City and Mid-Missouri both experience extreme seasonal swings: hot, humid summers, hard freezes, heavy rains followed by droughts, and everything in between. Unprotected garage floors often develop cracks, stains, and surface deterioration as a result. If you’ve noticed your garage floor cracked or sinking, that’s a sign that unprotected concrete is already losing the battle against Missouri’s climate. Professional garage floor coatings create a protective barrier that shields your concrete from: Moisture intrusion and freeze/thaw cracking Salt and chemical damage Oil, fuel, and automotive fluid stains Abrasion and surface wear UV exposure and premature deterioration Protecting your concrete now helps prevent costly repairs or even a full replacement down the road.

Concrete surfaces take a beating over time. Between weather exposure, foot traffic, moisture, UV rays, and daily wear, even high-quality concrete can begin to crack, fade, stain, and lose its visual appeal. Environments in the Midwest are susceptible to the freeze/thaw cycle and the drought/flood cycles that exist. Fortunately, when your outdoor concrete begins to show its’ wear and tear, full concrete replacement is not the only option. Concrete overlays provide a durable, cost-effective solution that restores and transforms existing concrete surfaces without the expense and disruption of demolition. At PolyMagic, the trusted Johnson County professional for concrete resurfacing and coatings, property owners are discovering how decorative concrete overlays can dramatically improve pool decks, patios, outdoor entertainment areas, and commercial spaces while extending the life of existing concrete.
