A Checklist for Resurfacing Your Garage Floor
Between parking the cars, storing your equipment, and acting as a work zone, your garage undergoes a lot of wear and tear. The floor especially needs some T-L-C to keep up with your busy family and schedule.
Resurfacing your garage floor with protective epoxy can be a great way to make your garage look polished while also standing up to the frequent use (and abuse) it sees on a daily basis. If you’re thinking about resurfacing your garage floor with Floorguard® or another garage floor coating, make sure to review this checklist:
● Check your concrete for cracks, pitting, or chips. This means that your concrete may be in need of repair before you can apply any other type of garage floor coating.
● Make any necessary repairs to your concrete so that you have a smooth work surface.
● Consider the flooring options available and choose one that will look great and offer the performance you’re looking for. Floorguard® comes in a variety of colors and finishes.
● Give your garage floor a through sweep and cleaning. You should make sure there’s no dust, dirt, or debris. Having Floorguard® installed? We can help with the preparation.
● Have your epoxy floor coating applied professionally so that you can get the cleanest, smoothest look without all of the effort.
● Give your flooring enough time to properly cure or set to lock out moisture. Make sure you keep your family away from the garage space until it’s completely dry and ready for use.
These are just a few things to keep in mind. Have questions about resurfacing your garage floor with Floorguard or another epoxy coating? Contact our team to ask your questions and get answers as well as professional advice on installation.

Really Pleased! Our garage needed some major help – not only was it a mess but the floor was just ugly with all the stains and such. I will agree with the reviewer below – do not go with the cheap imitators! Floorguard not only has a great product, but their installers and service is well worth any extra cost, which is minimal anyway. Our neighbors have commented on how good our garage looks and we’ve recommended them to Floorguard without hesitation.

Covering our old, gray garage floor was a great aesthetic and functional improvement. This project requires 2 days: first day preparing the surface (major job requiring right equipment), putting down first coating and sprinkling the flakes. This requires about 4 hours. After this dries, they come back next day and apply the topcoat. They notified us when they would start the work and arrived as promised. They worked diligently, completed the work efficiently, left the work areas and our driveway clean. The owner Steve is a great guy to deal with.

It was a pleasure dealing with the company’s owner Steve Chaloult. When we called him to give us an estimate, he arranged to come within a few days. We have a very large two car garage. His estimate was a bit more than the first company we called but he seemed very well prepared in showing us samples and very knowledgeable about his product and we just liked him. For personal reasons , we had to delay installation for about a month and he could not be more accommodating. we finally we able to have it done this past week and it was worth the wait. The garage floor is just beautiful and I never would have thought I would say that about a garage floor! We also had the lower walls around the floor done and very glad we did. At one time we were thinking we could do this ourselves using a kit. WHAT were we thinking? This is a job for a professional and we are so glad we used Steve.

The owner Steve Chaloult was easy to work with and he’s very good at what he does. I highly recommend Floorguard as your contractor if you’re wanting to have a garage floor finished with a durable epoxy like colored finish. Floorguard came when they said they would and cleaned up after they were finished. Floorguard also installs garage storage cabinets.
