Garage Spring Cleaning Tips, Part I
Spring is here, which means it?s time for spring cleaning! Most of us have a habit of just accumulating ?stuff? as the year goes by, or of not keeping things as organized as we could, and that includes our garages. This is a great time to improve your garage with some thorough spring cleaning and to follow it up with a facelift with an epoxy garage floor resurfacing from Floorguard.
Make a plan, and recruit help: If you?re reading this blog, you?re already working on this step. Rather than just jumping in without direction, make a concrete plan for how you will conduct your garage spring cleaning, and recruit help from your partner, kids, or friends if you need it.
Clear it all out: To organize and clean your garage, you?ll need a clean slate. Pull everything out so that the space is clear. (Pick a day when it isn?t supposed to rain if you?ll be putting everything in your driveway, or if your project is really big, consider renting a portable storage unit to keep all of your belongings in.)
Group everything you pulled out of your garage: Group your items by what you plan to keep, what you plan to donate, what you plan to recycle, what you plan to sell, and what you plan to throw away.
These are just a few steps for getting a good head start on spring cleaning your garage. After completing these steps, it?s a good time for your garage floor resurfacing project from Floorguard! Once your floors are beautiful, you can continue with your cleaning and organizing project to achieve a great garage space.

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.
