Instead of a thin paint that sits on the surface, a concrete coating system bonds to the concrete, resists stains and wear, and gives you a finished floor that is easy to clean.”","sourceUrls":["https://southwesthi.com/services/concrete-coatings"]},{"id":"content-native-digital-agencies-cd1533fd544c4674-a-5a1af61782c3fe27fde2","label":"How long do Penntek polyurea coatings last compared to epoxy?","value":"“Penntek Pure Polyurea is four times stronger than epoxy and holds up better to UV exposure, temperature fluctuations, and chemical exposure.”","sourceUrls":["https://southwesthi.com/services/concrete-coatings"]},{"id":"content-native-digital-agencies-cd1533fd544c4674-a-1d24339f0f2211e33d91","label":"What does the Lifetime Residential Warranty cover?","value":"“The warranty covers major coating failures, such as chipping and delamination, and is backed by both Southwest Home Innovations and Penntek.

Strux powder coats every component, inside and out, including the panels, shelves, edges, and backs, so there are no glued-on edges to fail the way they do on melamine cabinets.”","sourceUrls":["https://southwesthi.com/services/garage-cabinets"]},{"id":"content-native-digital-agencies-cd1533fd544c4674-a-7af0be05482efc26b33e","label":"Can I choose the configuration and finish for my custom garage cabinets?","value":"“Yes!

Because the load is carried by the rail and legs, the cabinets stay clear of pooled snowmelt and moisture, and the floor is far easier to maintain.”","sourceUrls":["https://southwesthi.com/services/garage-cabinets"]},{"id":"content-native-digital-agencies-cd1533fd544c4674-a-151baeec8d34602b76c3","label":"Are custom garage cabinets worth it compared to store-bought options?","value":"“Usually, yes.

Heat with nowhere to send water just moves the ice dam downstream. A cover alone cannot stop an ice dam. A fence only delays snow that still has to melt and leave. A comprehensive solution fixes the whole roofline once, instead of patching one problem at a time.”","sourceUrls":["https://southwesthi.com/services/gutter-systems"]},{"id":"content-native-digital-agencies-cd1533fd544c4674-a-ca22ad38e0a238eaeb79","label":"Why can't a gutter stand alone in Southwest Colorado?","value":"“Freeze and thaw, melting snow, ice dams, clogs, embers, and sliding snow all attack your roofline.

Pine needles that collect in a gutter are dry fuel right where embers land. A solid cover keeps the gutter clear, so there is nothing to ignite at the roofline.”","sourceUrls":["https://southwesthi.com/services/gutter-systems"]}]}
