Duration Concrete Coatings by Duralast Celebrates a Decade of Innovation in Northeast Indiana's Concrete Flooring Industry

Oct 28

Fort Wayne, IN — Since opening its doors in 2015, Duration Concrete Coatings by Duralast has established itself as Northeast Indiana's leading concrete coating specialist, completing thousands of residential and commercial projects throughout the region. Operating from their Fort Wayne showroom at 3909 Fourier Dr Suite C, the locally-owned company has built a reputation for technical expertise, customer service excellence, and innovative coating solutions that outperform traditional epoxy systems.

The company's consistent 5-star customer reviews and decade-long presence in the market underscore a commitment to quality that has made Duration the first choice for property owners seeking durable, professionally installed concrete coatings.

Advanced Coating Technology Sets New Industry Standard

At the core of Duration's success is their exclusive use of the Duralast® Polyaspartic Coating system, a technologically advanced alternative to conventional epoxy that delivers measurable performance advantages. Independent testing has demonstrated that polyaspartic coatings provide five times the strength of traditional epoxy, along with rapid curing times, UV stability, and superior chemical resistance.

"The difference between epoxy and polyaspartic is significant," explains the science behind the company's material selection. "Traditional epoxy requires days to cure and yellows under UV exposure. Our Duralast® system cures rapidly—often allowing same-day use—and maintains its clarity and color indefinitely, even in sun-exposed applications."

This technical advantage has proven particularly valuable for Indiana property owners dealing with the region's challenging climate conditions. The coating's flexibility prevents the cracking that commonly affects rigid epoxy systems during temperature fluctuations, while its chemical resistance protects against road salt, automotive fluids, and other harsh substances.

Customer Satisfaction Drives Repeat Business and Referrals

Duration's growth over the past decade has been fueled primarily by customer satisfaction and word-of-mouth referrals. Recent customer feedback illustrates the company's impact on local properties:

Eric, a Fort Wayne homeowner, reported: "What an improvement to my patio and garage floor. I have had this coating before at my previous properties - it's a game changer for sure. The Duration Team is highly professional, efficient, friendly and the price is right! You won't find a better company to do this work...my neighbors already called Dan for quote appointments!"

The company's attention to detail has earned particular recognition from clients. Dave Brockhouse shared his experience: "Dan personally stopped by to inspect the job. He noticed a few imperfections and within days his team came by to fix it. Duration absolutely stands by the product and service. We are a very satisfied customer."

For Molly Farthing, Duration's technical capabilities solved a challenging concrete repair problem: "I had a large crack in my concrete and you would never know it was there...their work was flawless! They were also very kind, Luis especially...you guys are blessed to have him! My patio has received so many compliments and I've already recommended your company."

Comprehensive Service Portfolio Addresses Diverse Market Needs

Duration serves both residential and commercial markets throughout Fort Wayne, New Haven, Woodburn, Huntertown, and surrounding Northeast Indiana communities. The company's residential services include garage floor coatings, patio and walkway installations, pool deck coatings, and basement floor systems. Commercial offerings span automotive facilities, commercial kitchens, industrial shops, and retail showrooms.

Laura Wyss, who selected Duration after obtaining multiple competitive quotes, noted the company's efficiency: "Had our garage done in less than half a day. Price was very good. And they offer a lifetime warranty!"

The company's commercial installations are designed to minimize business disruption through flexible scheduling, including overnight and weekend project completion when necessary. This approach has made Duration a preferred contractor for businesses requiring heavy-traffic rated floor systems without extended downtime.

Rigorous Installation Process Ensures Long-Term Performance

Duration's reputation for quality stems from their systematic 6-step installation process, which begins with professional diamond grinding to ensure maximum coating adhesion. The process includes concrete reconstruction to repair cracks and surface imperfections, application of the polyurea base coat, hand-applied decorative vinyl chips for customized aesthetics, excess chip removal for slip resistance, and a final UV-stable clear coat that seals and protects the surface.

This methodical approach differentiates professional installations from substandard contractor work or DIY applications, according to industry experts. Each step is designed to maximize both the functional performance and aesthetic appeal of the finished floor.

Rose Green experienced the benefits of this comprehensive approach: "I love my new garage floor. It will be easy to keep clean. Dan came very quick and gave an estimate and set up time to do the work. He was able to match my porch floor I had done previously. The workers were on time and professional. I would highly recommend."

Serving Multiple Generations of Northeast Indiana Property Owners

Duration's client base spans multiple demographics, from first-time homeowners to retirees investing in their properties. Diane Wallinger, 73, shared her experience: "I'm 73, just downsized to a new construction villa, and have wanted one of these floors for YEARS. I'm so glad I decided to do it before I moved in. The guys were fast and were very particular about how it turned out. I couldn't be happier."

The company's ability to serve both new construction and renovation projects has contributed to its sustained growth. In rapidly developing communities like Huntertown, Duration has completed numerous installations in neighborhoods such as Timber Ridge and Carroll Creek, protecting new concrete from premature deterioration while enhancing property value.

Competitive Pricing With Premium Materials and Warranty Protection

Despite using premium materials and maintaining strict quality standards, Duration has established competitive pricing throughout the market. Susan KIRST-millspaugh, who obtained multiple quotes before selecting Duration, confirmed: "I had several quotes & they were very competitive, affordable. Highly recommend them!!"

The company backs its installations with lifetime warranty coverage, demonstrating confidence in both material quality and installation expertise. This warranty protection extends far beyond industry-standard coverage periods, providing long-term peace of mind for property owners.

Community Impact and Regional Expansion

Over the past decade, Duration has completed projects across Fort Wayne's diverse neighborhoods, from historic homes in West Central to new construction in Chapel Ridge. The company has also established strong relationships in surrounding communities, including New Haven's residential areas like Meadowbrook and Havenhurst, Woodburn's agricultural properties, and Huntertown's growing subdivisions.

The company's local presence and community involvement have contributed to its recognition as a trusted regional contractor. Multiple customers report recommending Duration to neighbors and family members after experiencing the company's professionalism and quality workmanship.

Technical Expertise Addresses Complex Applications

Duration's technical capabilities extend beyond standard garage floor installations. The company's expertise in concrete reconstruction has enabled solutions for challenging projects involving significant cracking, spalling, or surface damage. The ability to match existing coated surfaces demonstrates advanced color-matching capabilities and technical precision.

For commercial applications, Duration's chemical-resistant coatings address the demanding requirements of automotive facilities, where floors must withstand oils, solvents, and heavy equipment traffic. In commercial kitchen environments, the company's food-safe, easy-to-sanitize surfaces meet both health code requirements and operational durability standards.
