When it comes to concrete coatings for your home or business, many companies will say, “We’ve got you covered.” Cassie Quinlan with Stampede Coatings says a lot more. She boldly states, “We do NOT use epoxy; our coatings won’t chip, peel, delaminate, fade, discolor, or stain! Our product is mold, mildew, and bacteria resistant; stain resistant; chemical and abrasion resistant; and slip resistant. Stampede Coatings is the best and only maintenance-free option for your concrete!”
Cassie is also quick to note their LIFETIME WARRANTY, which covers peeling, chipping, delamination, fading, yellowing, and other discoloration. There is a LIFETIME WARRANTY on the UV stability as well. Cassie proudly proclaims, “Stampede Coatings are guaranteed to last without any touch-ups, re-coating, or any maintenance other than rinsing off with a hose!”
While there are many other concrete covering options available to the consumer, they each have their shortcomings:
Epoxy and Hybrid Epoxy (cheaper base coat) with Polyaspartic Topcoat
Common Polyurea (diluted with fillers for lower overhead cost).
Direct To Concrete Polyaspartic (cures from outside in, leading to weak bond)
Stained Concrete (requires annual “color touch-ups & re-sealing”)
Stamped Concrete (requires annual “color touch-ups & re-sealing”, holds water)
Natural Stone Tiles or Pavers (extremely porous, which means mold & mildew)
Man-made Tile (SLIPPERY!!)
Cool Crete (also known as cool deck, spray deck = mold, mildew, flaking, cracking)
These other options require annual pressure washing (due to stains as well as the growth of mold, mildew, and bacteria), repeat professional maintenance (such as color/stain touchup or resealing), and most CANNOT be exposed to UV Rays or they will turn yellow and/or fade over time. Many have to be completely replaced every few years because they simply do not last!
The coating is a proprietary Polyurea Polyaspartic that chemically bonds to concrete surfaces. It is 4 times stronger than epoxy. When applied, this coating essentially grows “roots” down into the concrete to become part of the substrate. It penetrates the concrete from 1/4” to 1/2” depending on the hardness of your concrete. The coating is 99.5% solid content, meaning there is no watering down of the coating materials. Says Cassie, “The beauty of Polyurea is that it bonds permanently and is flexible. In our climate, with extreme temperature fluctuations and expansive soils, it is absolutely critical that a floor coating be able to move slightly with the surface instead of becoming brittle and delaminating from the surface.”
The manufacturer of the product Stampede uses is Penntek Industrial Coatings, located in Rochester, MN. The product is developed exclusively for Penntek Dealers such as Stampede Coatings and is not available from retail or contractor suppliers. Of all Penntek dealers, Stampede Coatings has the most tenured relationship with the product.
Stampede has completed well over 6,000 installations and has never had a single warranty claim.
They are also A+ Rated by the Better Business Bureau and take pride in their customer service. “You will never have to wonder whether or not Stampede Coatings is going to take care of you,” said Cassie.
Headquartered in College Station and Aggie-owned by Mark and Kacie Adair, Stampede Coatings has been in business for 8 years. Over the last 4 years, they have grown from a single market area (with Cassie as the sole salesperson) to 4 market areas, 5 sales representatives, and 10 crews! This means that, in addition to her role in sales, Cassie has been busily training others and serving as the “go-to” source for answers and information as the company has grown. Stampede covers a 100-mile radius around College Station. They also have locations in Temple and Tyler to service their other market areas.
Stampede Coatings was honored to be named to the Aggie 100 in both 2022 and 2023 (Aggie 100 is designed to honor the 100 fastest growing Aggie-owned or Aggie-led businesses in the world.)
Since it definitely sounds like this is a business that is “going places,” let’s highlight some of the places and spaces where Stampede Coatings are used:
PORCHES ⭐️ PATIOS ⭐️ GARAGES ⭐️ CARPORTS ⭐️ SHOPS ⭐️ BARNS WALKWAYS ⭐️ WAREHOUSES ⭐️ POOL DECKS ⭐️ DRIVEWAYS ⭐️ DAYCARES HEALTHCARE FACILITIES ⭐️ SCHOOLS ⭐️ CHURCHES ⭐️ ATHLETIC FACILITIES BOARDING KENNELS ⭐️ COMMERCIAL KITCHENS ⭐️ COMMERCIAL BATHROOMS
FAN CAVES ⭐️ CRAFT ROOMS
Healthcare facilities, vet clinics, and schools love Stampede Coatings because of the ease of cleaning and germ and bacteria resistance factors—things Cassie points out that help to inspire confidence in potential customers.
While some companies limit their sales approach to providing quotes over the phone, Cassie notes Stampede’s commitment to detail and service, “I will actually come out to visibly inspect the concrete, test the hardness level, moisture content, answer questions, and discuss color and texture options with you. I am here to help my clients find a solution that will best suit their needs.”
Stampede Coatings also has a new referral program. Anyone (prior purchaser or not) who recommends another customer that completes a purchase receives a $150 check. In order to qualify, referrals must contact Cassie directly for a free quote (with the purchaser stating who referred them), not through the Stampede office.
When she was a little girl, Cassie’s family moved to Conroe from Refugio, Texas. She lived in the Conroe-Lake Conroe area for most of her life, raising four sons in Montgomery. She moved to the Bryan-College Station area in 2017. Cassie enjoys meeting new people, gardening, cooking, being outdoors in general, learning about architecture, making memories with her grandbabies and spending time with family.
One important fact is that before Cassie began working for Stampede Coatings, she was a customer:
Stampede Coatings installed my garage floor coating, and it made a huge difference in the overall appearance, keeps the moisture out of the garage, and keeps the entryway into the house from the garage so much cleaner! I have spilled motor oil, 2-cycle premix, gasoline, diesel, and many other chemicals and products–only to find that they clean up easily without staining. I can honestly say, with ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY, that the quality of the product, workmanship, level of respect shown by everyone at Stampede Coatings is second to NONE!
