What Our Customers Say
Hardshell turned our garage into a showroom-quality floor. The crew arrived on time, worked cleanly, and explained every step of the process.
We had Hardshell coat our patio and front entry. The difference is incredible. It is easy to maintain and has held up beautifully through sun, rain, and heavy use.
I needed a tough floor for a busy warehouse and Hardshell delivered. The finish looks sharp and handles constant traffic with no issues.

FAQ
Concrete Coating FAQs
What is a polyurea or polyaspartic concrete coating?
It is a professional-grade coating system that bonds to diamond-ground concrete. Hardshell uses a polyurea base coat, a decorative vinyl flake broadcast and a clear polyaspartic top coat. The result is a slip-resistant floor that is up to four times stronger than epoxy, UV-stable and easy to clean.
How is your coating different from epoxy?
Epoxy is rigid, can take several days to install, often yellows in sunlight and is prone to hot-tire pickup and peeling in humid climates. Polyurea/polyaspartic is more flexible, cures quickly so most jobs are done in one day, resists UV yellowing and is far more durable.
Can you really finish in one day?
Yes. Most residential garages, patios and pool decks are prepared, coated and finished in a single day. You can usually walk on the floor within a few hours. We will confirm exact timing for your project.
Is the floor slip-resistant?
Yes. The flake broadcast creates texture, and we can add extra grip to the top coat for pool decks, porches and other wet areas.
Do you offer a warranty?
Yes. Hardshell installations are backed by a limited lifetime warranty. Ask us for the full warranty details with your quote.
What areas do you serve?
