Everything You Need to Know About Garage Floor Resurfacing: How to Fix a Pitted Garage Floor, PROs & CONs, & More!

Garage Finisher Team • August 31, 2022

If your garage floor is looking a bit rough, or if you have some pesky pits that need to be fixed, garage floor resurfacing may be the solution for you! This process can fix a pitted garage floor, and it can also give your garage a fresh new look. 


That’s why the garage floor installers from Garage Finisher discuss everything you need to know about garage floor resurfacing here: what it is, how to do it, and the PROs and CONs! 


Garage Floor Resurfacing Explained


Simply put, garage floor resurfacing is the process of adding a new layer to your garage floor. This new layer can be made of various materials, but it is typically a thin layer of epoxy or polyaspartic flooring. Garage floor resurfacing is often done in order to fix damage to the floor, such as cracks, pits, and other imperfections. It is also done to protect your garage floor from further damage from substances like corrosive road salt.  However, it can also be done for purely aesthetic reasons - to give your garage a fresh new look!


If you decide to go with epoxy coating, the process is fairly simple. First, the garage floor is cleaned and prepped. Then, a primer is applied, followed by the epoxy coating. Once the epoxy has dried, it will be hard and durable. However, watch out for hot tire pickup or peeling of the epoxy which is very common. 


For polyaspartic flooring, the process is similar, but cures faster and will outlast an epoxy floor. 


With Garage Finisher’s polyaspartic Forever Floor the process is a lot more complex, but it will outlast any other garage flooring system on the market. This is because The Forever Floor polyaspartic is much more than a simple coating. The polyaspartic flooring process from Garage Finisher is an advanced, five-layer proprietary technology that reduces slips, offers extensive durability, and is easier to maintain, and is 10 times stronger than epoxy. 


The PROs & CONs of Garage Floor Resurfacing


Now that you know what garage floor resurfacing is and how it's done, let's discuss the PROs and CONs. As with any home improvement project, there are advantages and disadvantages to garage floor resurfacing. It's important to weigh these carefully before making a decision.


One of the biggest advantages of garage floor resurfacing is that it can dramatically improve the look of your garage. If your garage floor is old and stained, resurfacing it can give it a whole new appearance. Additionally, garage floor resurfacing is a relatively fast way to update your garage.


However, depending on what material you choose, it can be a very time-consuming process, if you're going to attempt to do it yourself. You'll need to devote at least 3 or 4 days to the project from start to finish. You will also have to rent the proper equipment to both thoroughly clean the floor and apply the material.  This is why most people prefer hiring professional garage floor installers
