Choosing the Best Garage Floor Refinishing Team

Garage flooring can take a lot of wear and tear before needing to be replaced. However, oil stains and other corrosive materials like road salt, as well as normal wear and tear, will eventually force the need for

 garage floor refinishing. But before rushing out to hire garage floor installers, the team from Garage Finisher wants to go over a few important considerations to make when installing your new garage floor.

Floor Texture 

When it comes to garage flooring, choosing a non-slip option is always best. This is because it can be much safer for whoever is using your garage, whether it be a family member, employee, or visitor to your property.

Strength 

If you want your new garage floor refinishing job to last as long as possible, choosing materials that are durable and resistant to chemicals and road salt is essential. The garage is the most highly-trafficked areas in the home or business, whether it’s used for parking cars, storage, a room for your exercise equipment, or as a workshop, it’s important to choose a garage floor coating such as polyaspartic flooring because it will last for decades.

Color 

The color of your garage floor should match the style and colors of your garage. Thankfully, many garage floor installation teams can install a variety of colored garage floors, with decorative chips or custom colors available upon request.

Installation Time

If you’re replacing the garage floor of a business or need fast access to your garage, then choosing a material with a quick installation time is essential. If minimal downtime is important to you, it will be important to choose a reliable garage floor finisher that can install your new garage floor in one day. Therefore, it’s essential they use a fast drying material such as polyaspartic. 

Maintenance

Since garage floors collect a lot of dirt, like oil and chemicals from vehicles, as well as dust and other debris if being used as a workshop, maintenance is an important consideration. Be sure you invest in a garage floor coating that’s easy to clean and requires minimal maintenance.

Refinish Your Garage Floor With Confidence

If you're looking to refinish your garage floor, there are several options available to you. However, with so many choices, it can be difficult to determine which garage floor refinishing option is the best for you, and how to select the right team for it. That’s where our tips come in.

The Refinishing Process

Here are the steps you can expect during a typical garage floor refinishing project:

Remove Garage Content:

The first step is to remove all the clutter, dispose of debris and store contents in our locked trailer., and re-install contents the day after the flooring is installed.

Surface preparation:

The next step in the process is preparing the surface of your garage floor. This typically involves removing any existing coatings, grinding the surface thoroughly, repairing any cracks or damage, and then grinding and vacuuming the floor again

Application of coatings:

Once the surface is properly prepared, the refinishing team will apply the chosen finish. This can include epoxy coatings, polyurethane coatings, polyaspartic or other options depending on your preferences and needs.

Drying and curing:

After the coatings are applied, the garage floor will need to dry and cure. This process can take from a day to weeks, depending on the type of coating and other factors like humidity and temperature.

Final inspection:

Once the garage floor has fully cured, the refinishing team will conduct a final inspection to ensure that the finish is even, smooth, and meets your expectations and then re-install your contents.

Maintenance Considerations

One of the most important factors to consider when choosing a garage floor refinishing option is the maintenance required to keep the floor looking its best. Some flooring options like a nature stone garage floor require regular cleaning and re-sealing, while others are more low-maintenance. Consider how often you're willing to clean and invest in maintenance of your garage floor when choosing which type of floor will best fit your needs.

Time to Install the Floor

Another important factor to consider is the time required to install the floor. Some garage floor options like polyaspartic floor coatings can be installed quickly, while others may require several days or even weeks. If you need your garage back in working order quickly, you may want to consider a faster installation option.

Factors to Look for in a Garage Finishing Team

If you're hiring a professional to install your garage floor, it's important to choose a team that is experienced, knowledgeable, and reliable. Look for a team that specializes in garage floor refinishing and has a proven track record of success over at least 10 years. Additionally, make sure the team you choose is licensed, insured, and uses high-quality materials.
