Freeze-ThawReady
The Problem
Northeast Indiana is hard on concrete in ways a floor in Florida or Texas never sees. Water works into hairline cracks, freezes, expands, and breaks the surface apart, the freeze-thaw cycle. Road salt and de-icer track off your car and cause scaling and spalling. Water freezing under the slab pushes pop-outs, chunks that break away. A proper coating system doesn’t just look good; it seals the surface against the salt, moisture and thermal movement that wreck bare concrete here.
That’s the whole reason we grind, repair and moisture-test before we coat, not after.

Duration installs the Duralast polyaspartic system, which is our own coating, not an off-the-shelf epoxy kit. Polyaspartic stays flexible and cures fast even in the cold, so it moves with a freeze-thaw slab instead of cracking off it, and it’s UV-stable, so it won’t yellow like epoxy. The Duralast system is rated at 2,900 psi tensile strength and is engineered to be up to 5× stronger than traditional epoxy.
Because it cures in hours, we finish most floors in one day and you’re walking on it the next.
Diamond-grind the slab to open the concrete and give the coating a mechanical bond.
Chase and fill cracks, patch spalls and pop-outs from past winters.
Test the slab so vapor doesn’t blister the coating later.
Apply the Duralast base.
Flake for color, texture and grip (your choice of blend).
Seal it, inspect it, hand it back.
Real Projects
The before-and-after tells the story better than we can: a cracked, pitted garage floor turned showroom-clean, patios resurfaced until the old winter damage disappears, basements that finally look finished. Browse recent Fort Wayne projects and case studies in our portfolio.
2014Founded
Meet Our GM
Duration was founded in 2014. General manager Dan Diven spent years inside a large corporate coatings company where he watched customers pay premium prices and get crews who cut corners, and he runs Duration on one idea: the general manager is on-site for every job, the materials are consistent, and the price is fair. That’s still how it works, Dan and a crew of 10 have coated 4,500+ projects across Fort Wayne and Northeast Indiana.

Testimonials
Jay K.
Fort Wayne
“Duration’s price was far better than the other two local quotes I got. When the crew showed up they said my garage floor was one of the worst they’d seen, a lot of cracks and pitting. They didn’t ask for more money, they just went to work. My floor ended up better than I expected.”
Nate G.

Hiring Guide
Before you hire anyone, ask how they prepare the slab and what happens if the coating fails. A coating is only as good as the concrete under it, and in Northeast Indiana the prep is what separates a floor that lasts from one that peels in two winters. Here is what to look for.
Grinding opens the slab for a real mechanical bond. A company that only acid-etches or paints is setting you up to redo it.
Cracks, spalls and slab moisture are the top reasons a coating lets go here. If nobody tests the slab, nobody knows what it will do.
Polyaspartic handles cold, UV and freeze-thaw better and installs in a day. Ask which they use and why.
“Lifetime” means little without a list of what it actually covers. Ask for it on paper.
Ask whether an owner or manager is on-site or the work is handed off to a rotating crew.
Look for a rating and a review count you can open and read, not just a badge.
Duration meets every one of these: we grind, repair and moisture-test every slab, install the Duralast polyaspartic system, put the lifetime warranty scope in writing, keep general manager Dan Diven on every job, and hold a 5.0 rating from 102 Google reviews.
FAQ
Every floor is different, so we give a free on-site estimate, no charge, no pressure. A residential garage floor typically runs about $5 to $12 per square foot, and your estimate depends on the size, condition and prep your slab needs.
Most residential floors are done in one day, about 4 to 8 hours. The Duralast polyaspartic system cures fast enough that we grind, repair, coat and finish in a single visit.
Walk on it after about 24 hours, set heavy objects on it after 48 hours, and park a vehicle on it after 72 hours.
Epoxy is water- or oil-based and thinner; it cures slowly (days), can yellow in sunlight, and gets brittle in the cold. Polyaspartic is more durable, stays flexible, resists UV, and cures in hours, which is why it holds up better in Indiana garages and lets us finish in one day. It usually carries a longer warranty, too.
Yes. The Duralast system is built for exactly this climate, it seals the slab against salt and moisture and flexes with freeze-thaw movement instead of cracking off.
No, the Duralast polyaspartic topcoat is UV-stable, so it won’t yellow the way epoxy does.
Our lifetime warranty covers peeling, flaking, chipping and delamination of the coating, UV/sun damage, normal wear and tear, and damage from hot tires, salt, oils, grease, chemicals, cleaners and chlorine.
Yes, commercial kitchens, auto shops, warehouses, factories, dog kennels, showrooms and more. (See commercial coatings)
