Professional Services that Improve your Garage Floor
Garage floors are usually made of concrete. After a few years a concrete floor in a garage starts looking old and worn because of the amount of abuse a garage floor has to take. Professional garage flooring services paint or coat the garage floor to make it look new and attractive. You could choose to coat the garage floor yourself but hiring professional garage epoxy services will do an expert and professional job that will save your time, effort and money.
Material
There are many do it yourself kits to coat garage floors available in the market. These kits are made of low grade material as compared to the material or products used by professionals. All materials used by professionals who lay garage floors have to be of a superior quality conforming to industrial standards. Garage floor coatings by professional services last longer than a DIY job.
Preparation
When you attempt to coat a garage floor by yourself, a do it yourself garage floor coating kit will not help you effectively prepare your concrete floor to coat the floor correctly. Professional garage floor services will have advanced tools to remove the top layer of the flooring, to make the layer smooth and to effectively place a coating on the floor.
Laying the Floor
The professional garage floor service will repair damaged concrete before applying the coating to the floor. They will then apply a primer to the floor to create a barrier that prevents moisture from seeping in. They will then apply the garage floor coating. DIY kits may not come with the tools required to correctly apply a garage floor coating.
Finishing
Professional garage floor services will place a clear coating on top of the new garage floor coating after the coating has dried completely. This coating will prevent scratches, stains and chips. DIY garage floor coating kits do not come with this protective coating.
Types
There are different types of garage floor coatings with color epoxy to match other surfaces. There are paint coatings for a garage floor. These are good coatings if the garage floor is dry and there is no ground moisture. Epoxy paint is a tough garage floor coating that gives a clean and glossy finish to the floor. Epoxy paint takes about a week to dry. Epoxy paint requires replacement every three years if it is applied correctly by a professional garage floor service. Concrete stains and concrete paints are good garage floor coatings. They will need replacement every two years. Plastic tiles are also used to cover garage floor because they are strong and durable. Rollout rubber mat flooring is also used as a garage floor covering.
Professional garage floor services will provide services that make your garage floor coating last longer. These services have the latest equipment and materials to lay garage floor coatings correctly. They will also suggest the best type of garage floor coating for your garage floor. When laying a garage floor coating it is prudent to get expert help for cost effective and professional result.

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.
