About Us
Who We Are
Duration Concrete Coatings by Duralast is a local Fort Wayne, Indiana business, owned by Steve Schmucker. We grind, repair, moisture-test and coat garage, basement, concrete, patio, pool-deck and commercial floors across Fort Wayne, Northeast Indiana and adjacent Northwest Ohio. We are a service-area business, so we come to you, and our general manager is on-site for every job.
Our Story
Duration Concrete Coatings was founded in 2014 and is owned by Steve Schmucker. General manager Dan Diven spent years inside a large corporate coatings company, where he kept seeing the same thing: customers paying premium prices but getting crews who cut corners. He runs Duration on a simple idea: the general manager is on-site for every job, the materials are consistent, and the price is fair. That is still how it works. Dan and a crew of 10 install the Duralast system, our own coating, on every floor, and Dan is personally on each project across Fort Wayne and Northeast Indiana.
Why Choose Us
What Sets Us Apart
Our General Manager Is on Every Job
Not a rotating subcontractor crew. Dan is on-site, so the prep and the finish are held to one standard.
Local and Easy to Work With
We are a Fort Wayne company, we answer the phone, and we keep communication simple from estimate to walkthrough.
Better Quality at a Fair Price
Consistent materials, honest prep, and a straight, written estimate with no pressure.
Our Own Duralast System
We install the Duralast polyaspartic system, our own coating, so the chemistry and the quality are the same from job to job, backed by a lifetime warranty.
Our Own Coating
The Duralast System
The floors we install use the Duralast polyaspartic system, and Duration does not just install it, we own it. Duration owns the Duralast system itself, so this is a product we make, control and stand behind, not an off-the-shelf kit anyone can buy. It is rated at 2,900 psi tensile strength, engineered to be up to 5 times stronger than traditional epoxy, stays flexible through freeze-thaw movement, and is UV-stable so it will not yellow. Because it cures in about 24 hours, we finish most floors in one day and you walk on them the next.
