Many things can impact how long your epoxy will last. The amount of traffic it sees is one component, as well as how much effort you put into its care. That said, epoxy flooring is relatively low maintenance. By choosing our team to professionally install your new garage floor, you are taking the first step toward having a product that can last for a decade-plus.

The thickness of an epoxy floor can vary. The range typically is between 0.025 inches and 0.375 inches. How thick you will want your epoxy to be will depend on the condition of the cement and your ultimate goal for the project. The correct thickness will be achieved by using the appropriate number of floor coatings.

Of course, the exact cost of an epoxy flooring installation will depend on many things. If you are looking to go with epoxy in your garage, you can be looking at anything from $3 to $7 per square foot. The type of epoxy you choose, along with the size of your garage, will have a large impact on cost.

Buying your own floor kit and installing your new floor yourself may be tempting. Epoxy floor installation is best left to our professional team. Doing it yourself will require hours of perfectly cleaning your floors, plus ensuring that your timing is perfect. Humidity is also important. Rather than worrying about all of this and messing around with a floor kit, let our team give you the floor of your dreams.

For the most part, regularly mopping and sweeping your new garage floor will be all you need to do. If you do find yourself needing a deeper clean, mix a small amount of ammonia with water (approximately four ounces per one gallon of water). This should remove small stains and have your garage looking new once again.

Any surface can be slippery when it gets wet, and epoxy is no exception. Still, many epoxy floors are formulated to be slip-resistant, which is great for homeowners and business owners alike. You can go one step further and add a slip-resistant grip to your new floor.

Floor paint may seem like a cheaper alternative that works just as well. In reality, you will end up having to reapply the paint every few years if you want to keep the appearance up. Essentially, epoxy lasts much longer than floor paint, making it a better investment.

Epoxy floor paint is an option that some homeowners choose. Part epoxy and part latex paint, it is available in water-based and solvent-based versions. The advantage of water-based floor paint is that it does not have an overpowering smell, while solvent-based floor paint is offered in more colors. These paints are part epoxy, giving them some of the same benefits.

How many epoxy coatings are needed and other factors will impact how long the installation will take. Often, our team can have you back in your garage in as little as a day.

In many cases, a homeowner can care for their new epoxy floor on their own. Some commercial businesses may want help maintaining their floor, but it is not typically necessary.
