Resin floor or wall coatings over concrete or a prepared slab. Prep (grind, crack fill, moisture check) drives whether the coating will stay down.

How the work is coordinated
Cure time depends on product and temperature; no invented mil-thickness brands. Denver-metro work is permitted locally. Colorado has no statewide general-contractor license. Cities and counties license general contractors. DORA licenses electrical and plumbing (and similar regulated trades), not general contractors. Autotelic is a municipally licensed Denver general contractor that coordinates licensed specialty trades. Denver building permits run through Community Planning and Development (CPD). Costs are project-specific; no dollar figures.
