How Concrete Curbing Works in Duluth, From Bed Layout to Final Cure
Every curbing job covers bed layout, on-site extrusion, control cuts, and color or stamp pattern selection.
ESTIMATE
Once scheduled for an estimate, we’ll go out to your location, take measurements, and go through various design choices with you. This ensures that we give the best look and use the most suitable material to meet your curbing needs.
SECOND MEETING
Before we start the job, we’ll meet with you one more time to go over the layout of the curb. This way, we’re all aligned and you’re assured you get the curb that satisfies you after we’re done.
LAYOUT
We’ll mark the location set for the curb with spray paint so you can see the layout with your own eyes. Once we arrive at your location, we’ll go over the layout and decisions made once more with you in case there are last-minute changes.
PREP WORK
We set up our equipment while making minimal mess of your yard. The only thing that’ll go through your yard is our wheelbarrow. We’ll also be hooking up our hose to your home’s water supply so we can mix our materials.
TRENCHING
Using our bed edger, we will follow the spray painted area and cut through the grass so we can install your curb properly. The soil is ground up and pulverized, making it great soil that can be reused by you or disposed of by us.
MIXING & EXTRUDING
We create the strongest blend of curbing mix possible. We use our wheelbarrow to transfer the mix to our curb machine where the cement is given it’s final look. We’ll also be using cable reinforcement through the center of the curb.
FINISHING
Having a strong finish on your curb is crucial for it’s long-term durability. We make sure your curb is free of any voids as we smooth it out and give it a professional look. We then trowel your landscape edging to perfection.
STAMPING & CONTROL JOINTS
Choose from a variety of stamps that suits your house and landscaping. Once stamped, we cut your curb in the correct spots to prevent cracking. Expansion joints are around 2 ft. apart and allow your curb to survive any freeze-thaw cycle.
SEALING
Sealing protects your curb for the sun’s UV rays and discoloration. Sealing should be done every two years to maintain your curb. Homeowners can do this as we’ll also give you our list of recommended sealers once we’re done.

Frequently Asked Questions
Each project is customized to your particular concrete flooring needs. Every job we do is different, because we offer different types of coatings and finishes. We will work with you to develop a free estimate keeping your budget in mind.
We use the highest quality materials in our polyaspartic floor coatings and we’ve perfected our application process to make the concrete coating permanent. Once completely cured and adhered, the concrete coating is meant to last as long as the substrate it’s adhered to.
Polyaspartic Floor Coatings dry more quickly than Epoxy Floor Coatings, and the finish is also more durable. Our floor concrete coating finishes are also more slip-resistant and will not discolor like some Epoxy Floor Coatings.
Our flooring cures within a few hours, however our team of professionals recommends waiting at least 4-6 hours before walking on your brand new concrete coated flooring. After 12 hours, you can begin moving lightweight objects onto the flooring, like light patio furniture. We recommend waiting a full 24 hours before moving anything heavy back into the area where we’ve applied the coating (your car, heavy equipment or furniture etc.).
It sure won’t! Our concrete floor coverings will not yellow or discolor, because they are UV stable. This one of the many benefits of using Polyurea or Polyaspartic floor coatings.
If you follow our maintenance and cleaning guidelines, you should not have to worry about resealing the concrete floor coating. We offer a professional grade cleaner that will easily remove stains or tire marks, but will also preserve the life of your concrete coating topcoat.
We’ve perfected our 6-step application process, so most typical projects take between 5-10 hours depending on the square footage. We pride ourselves in a one-day application, and will do everything possible to stay within that time frame. Rainy weather can delay the project, but it is rare.
You can clean our concrete coatings with typical sweeping, mopping or steaming, and hoses. We offer maintenance services should your concrete flooring ever need cleaning, however you can also use non-abrasive cleaners, like CLR, to remove grease or other stains.
Armor coatings are oil resistant as well as moisture resistant.
Bayer Material Science first developed Polyaspartic coatings in the 1990’s to protect steel bridges and infrastructure from rusting and corrosion. The technology was later adapted for concrete flooring and other demanding protective applications.
Polyaspartic Concrete coating is another name for Aliphatic Polyurea, which is a hybrid material consisting of ester and other materials. It was originally developed to coat metal bridges. It was later used to coat concrete flooring due to its durability and moisture resistance. Polyurea is also used to coat truck bed liners.
They sure can! We offer wonderful solutions for driveways, patios, and even the area around the pool. Our coatings are all UV stable, which will help prevent discoloration or flaking.
Polyaspartic flooring coatings can be used in a variety of environments. The durability, slip resistant finish is fantastic for any industrial setting, storefronts, patios, or even driveways or garages.
Installation typically includes mechanical grinding, repairs, a compatible base coat, full flake broadcast when selected, scraping and cleanup, and a protective finish coat. The exact steps depend on the slab and system.
You can! Polyaspartic floor coatings are safe to apply in temperatures as cold as -40 degrees.
Our Polyaspartic Floor Coatings are engineered to rapidly cure, and can be dry in a matter of a few hours! However, we recommend waiting at least 5-6 hours before walking on newly applied coating and 24 hours before moving heavy objects back onto the flooring.
Installing Polyaspartic Floor Coating correctly is critical to the appearance and durability of your flooring. Hiring a professional is the best way to ensure that your flooring will look amazing and last a lifetime! Our team at Armor Coatings is certified in Polyaspartic Floor Coating installation and have many years of experience.
It is! Polyaspartic floor coatings are specially formulated for their incredible adhesion properties. If you have existing patches of epoxy coating, our team can sand it down, vacuum, and wipe down the area with a solvent. Once prepped, we will apply your new, superior, Polyaspartic Floor Coating.
