Updating Your Garage Floor with a Beautiful Epoxy Finish
During remodeling and renovation, homeowners realize the floor suffers the most wear and tear. While we remedy that in our homes, the garage is overlooked. Floors in the garage suffer wear and tear consistently, and homeowners fail to fix garage floors until it’s too late. Take the first step toward garage care by updating the floor. Choose between pouring new concrete on top or coating existing floors.
Garage floors are concrete slabs. For garages mostly used for car storage, add a slope for water drainage from tires. Otherwise, create a level concrete slab. Include a drain for water drainage and easy cleanup. Prior to this project, ensure there are two inches of room available for pouring. A professional will tell you whether that’s possible. Additionally, allow the professional to pour the concrete.
The other preference is covering existing floors with coatings, tiles, and mats. Begin by cleaning the area of debris, dirt, and trash. Next, ensure all cracks, holes, chips, and scratches are fixed. Also, smooth out bumps and strip/sand down previous concrete seals. Then, apply the desired coating. The first choice is epoxy coatings.
The epoxy flooring West Chester PA service offers is a roll-on adhesive (using a paintbrush or roller). You or a professional can handle epoxy coatings, and it comes in a variety of colors and texture. With easy maintenance and stain-resistant material, coatings are the popular choice. The second choice is rubber mats.
The middle-of-the-road price option allows homeowners to stick the adhesive mats to the garage floor and cut the excess. Selecting tile is great for garages without cars. Similar to standard floor tile, it comes in many colors, textures, patterns, and designs. Select between hard plastic, soft plastic, or flexible rubber. Standard work areas, exercise rooms, and guest rooms use soft plastic or rubber. Hard plastic is for heavy-duty work. The cool part about these tiles is they interlock. Tiles connect to other tiles like a puzzle piece. Place the pieces on top of the concrete floor to cover imperfections. Mix and match colors, patterns, and designs for unique results.
The garage floor coatings West Chester PA service offers options along with floor protectors and paint. Floor protectors do what it supposed to while the paint on garage floors sound unusual. Standard paint on walls and ceilings aren’t for garages; concrete paint is, and homeowners should aim for that. Concrete paint is an inexpensive option for homeowners short on cash. Besides standard paint, masonry paint, latex paint, and concrete stain (for shine).
Mud, dirt, water, and grime from cars, bicycles, motorcycles, and shoes leave garage floors a mess. It takes the brunt of indoor and outdoor traffic, so it requires extra care. The garage floor coatings West Chester PA service offers options for renovating your garage floor to match your needs. No matter what you throw at these surfaces, they seem to soak up abuse rather than stains. There is even a variety of color choices available to match your needs, or design preferences. Take some pride in your garage and spend more time enjoying it!

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.
