Why You SHould avoid It
Garage Floor Experts
Garage floor paint is a quick and easy way to add additional protection to your concrete surfaces. Garage floor paint helps to protect your garage floors from damages and stains through a durable, high gloss finish.
This quick method of applying a floor coating is easy to clean and cheaper than other alternatives. Paint often takes significantly less time to cure than other floor coatings, and the preparation is minimal in comparison.
Garage floor paints resist scuffing, fading, and blistering while also having low odors if you opt for the polycuramine option. Garage floor paints come in a wide range of colors, so you have many options for how you want your garage floor to look.
Concrete paints and epoxy based paints improve the look of your floors through covering up any hairline cracks, while also protecting it from any future staining, at least initially.

Hear what our happy clients says about us..
Concrete paint for garage floors doesn’t hold up as well or last as long as professional floor coatings. Salt and magnesium chloride can eat through garage floor paints quickly, and they won’t adhere well if you have any oil stains, moisture problems, or grease on your floors. If your garage floor isn’t a smooth surface, it also complicates the application process and the longevity of the product.
If your floor has cracks that are bigger than little hairline cracks, you’ll want to cut and fill them in, so that your paint lays more cleanly and looks better. Before painting your garage floors, you must ensure that the floors are clean and smooth. Should you decide to go this route, you can expect to reapply the paint every few years, as garage floor paint is not a long lasting solution and will start to peel and crack over time.
The Advantages of Garage Floor Paint
- Garage floor paints are cheaper, up front, than other flooring options.
- Installation is relatively simple and can be accomplished quickly.
- They offer protection against most stains.
- They come in a wide variety of different colors.
- They make concrete surfaces easier to clean.
- They enhance resistance to water damage.
The Disadvantages of Garage Floor Paint
- Garage floor paints are not very durable, meaning that you’ll need to reapply them frequently.
- Wear and tear, including scuffing, chipping, and peeling, becomes visible after mere months.
- They’re not very resistant to road salt, deicers, and other chemicals.
- They stain quite easily.
- They’re not good for workshops or garages.
- They are not cost-effective in the long run because they do not hold up.

Why Garage Floors Don’t Take Paint Well
Though paint initially seems like a simple addition to protect garage floors, the process is not so straightforward as it may appear. There are many things to consider, both about the paint and about the concrete itself. If you really want to paint your garage floors, first review the potential challenges of doing so so you can go in prepared.
Garage floors have to be in pretty good shape before they can be painted. Holes and moderately-sized cracks must be repaired before any paint can be rolled on. Otherwise they will show clearly beneath the paint and weaken its adherence. If you have to seriously update your concrete, it may be easier to jump directly to more effective means of protecting it.
Despite its textured surface, concrete also needs to be sanded down to roughen up the floor in preparation for painting. This generates a lot of dust which, if not cleared away completely, can compromise the quality of the paint job. Even if all the dust is removed, sanding can be a time-consuming process.
Temperature and humidity levels when garage floor paint is rolled on effect how well the paint can adhere to the concrete. If the concrete is too cold, the paint may not cure well, but if it is too hot, the paint may dry too quickly. If the air is too humid, that moisture can bead on the paint or compromise the curing in other ways.
As paint wears, it grinds into dust which can add respiratory problems to its list of other downsides. Furthermore, the relative speed and ease with which garage paint wears off can make painting your garage floor not worth the hassle.
Better Options for Your Garage Floor
While concrete paint isn’t a good option for your garage floor, the good news is that there are many other floor coating options available that will actually make your floors both look better and resist damages. As much as painting your garage floors seems like a good idea because of its initial protective properties and cost, with a high traffic area like that, professional floor coatings are more than worth it to keep it protected and beautiful for years to come.

What If My Garage Floor Has Damaged Or Has Cracks In It?
We can resolve most chips, cracks and areas that may need leveling. We use a concrete mender that bonds to the cement and is five times stronger than concrete. It is very unlikely that a mended crack will crack again or disturb the finished coating.
-
Can You Do Areas Besides Garage Floors?
Yes, we can do concrete just about anywhere, including outside. If you have a unique project like a basement, pool deck, restaurant, porch, or something else, we can likely help you. Our product is UV stable, which means it won’t fade or discolor over time, like some other products on the market.
-
How Does Your Product Compare To Other Products?
That is up to you depending on the results you desire, how long you would like the product to last, and the amount of money you want to spend. Painting your floor may be cheap ($1.75/sq-ft), but the surface can easily chip and fade soon after it is applied. An epoxy floor coating is more expensive than painting ($3-$7/sq-ft), but is more durable. However, epoxy is likely to fade, discolor, turn yellow, and even crack since epoxy is not flexible. Epoxy floors can take up to four days to install and seven days to fully cure before you can drive or put heavy equipment back on it. Epoxy also releases a significant amount of VOCs.
Our Method: Poly-aspartic coating, is a “newer technology”. When using this method, you get unmatched strength and durability, as well as virtually no VOCs. Our coatings are generally in the same price range as epoxy floor coatings but are much more flexible than epoxy and 100% UV resistant – less likely to fade or yellow in direct sunlight. Our product is also more resistant to
most types of chemicals which makes it a great solution for garages, commercial floors, and industrial applications. Hospitals love us because our coatings are 100% anti-microbial and 100% anti-bacterial resistant. Our coatings can be walked on in 4 hours and driven on as soon as 24 hours after installation. -
Will My Floor Be Slippery?
Whether wet or dry, our epoxy garage floor coatings are slip-resistant and ideal for indoor (like workspaces) or outdoor (like patios and pools) scenarios. Although they look beautiful and shiny, the floors have a slight orange-peel texture that makes for a great gripping surface.
