Garage Floor Coating of Atlanta - Forget DIY When it Comes to Your Garage

Whether planned or not, your garage often becomes the main entrance way into your home, which makes sense as the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. If the garage door is open, it’s almost guaranteed that guests will venture into your home this way. So, let's embrace this dilemma and make your garage an inviting entrance way for your friends and family.

In our first discussion, we talked about the garage in general and “Doing it right the first time.” And the best place to start is with a new garage floor. Instead of cringing at the oil marks, cracks, holes and concrete dust, you can have a beautiful finished floor with dramatic colors and traction control. 

Can you do it yourself? Yes, by George, you can. There are many big box stores and online retailers selling DIY garage epoxy kits. These kits are user friendly and relatively inexpensive. And the pictures on the box offer stunning examples of finished garage floors, including the sports car (not included). But, the devil is in the details. How is the floor prepped? Will the cracks in the concrete show up after I apply the coating? How will the product hold up over time with hot tires, humidity and UV rays? Will it be slippery when wet? These are very important questions that can turn a well-intentioned project into a complete mess.
