When Michigan homeowners start exploring garage, basement, or patio floor upgrades, epoxy is usually the first word they see. But while epoxy is widely marketed, it’s not built for the state’s demanding climate. At Freedom Concrete Coatings, we install Penntek polyurea systems exclusively because they outperform epoxy in strength, flexibility, and longevity.
Polyurea coatings chemically bond to concrete, creating a permanent seal that resists chips, cracks, stains, and UV damage. Unlike epoxy, which becomes brittle and fades, polyurea remains flexible enough to handle freeze-thaw cycles, heavy traffic, and Mid-Michigan’s rapid temperature swings. It also cures quickly—most projects are completed in one day, with floors ready for light use in hours and vehicles in about two days.
Epoxy’s shortcomings are clear: long cure times, poor cold-weather performance, mechanical-only adhesion, and a tendency to yellow under the sun. For homeowners who want a lifetime solution instead of a short-term fix, polyurea is the clear choice. It’s not a DIY product, though—its fast cure time requires certified installation with specialized equipment and training.
That’s why Freedom partners with Penntek Industrial Coatings. Penntek’s American-made systems come with limited lifetime warranties, rigorous quality controls, and exclusive availability to certified contractors. Combined with Freedom’s veteran-owned, family-run business model, the result is floors that deliver both durability and peace of mind.
Freedom proudly serves Okemos, Haslett, Williamston, Mason, Jackson, and surrounding communities. Whether you need a garage, basement, or patio transformed, our coatings provide strength, safety, and style that last decades. With custom finishes available, your floor can match your vision while resisting the toughest conditions Michigan has to offer.
