How a Great Garage Floor Coating Improves Your Garage & Increases Home Value

Garage Finisher Team • May 17, 2023

Does your garage still have a plain concrete slab for its floor? If so, you could do so much more with it! Finishing your garage with a high-quality garage floor coating will make it into a much better working space - and improve your home's value and attractiveness in the process.


Finishing your garage floor is affordable and will pay off in numerous ways in the years to come.


How A Garage Floor Coating Improves Your Garage


Garage floor coatings are resinous materials, such as epoxy or a polyaspartic material, which are poured and spread directly over the concrete. These completely cover the underlying concrete, creating a new top surface.


This surface is:


1 - Stain and chemical resistant


If you spill something onto plain concrete, that stain is there to stay. Concrete can soak up liquid spills like a sponge. At best, this leaves a messy, ugly floor - such as if you spill motor oil on it. Worse, though, it can become very slippery. Road Salt severely damages bare concrete whereas garage floors with the proper coating system are not ever harmed by road salt.


Resinous floor coatings are impervious, resisting stains, and keeping any spills on the surface.


2 - Easy to clean


Keeping a garage floor coating clean couldn't be easier. Since it's entirely impervious, all spills and messes stay on top and can be cleaned up with basic soapy water and a mop. Or just hose it down, if there's nothing dangerous on the surface and squeegee dry.


3 - More hygienic 


Another problem with standard concrete floors is that all the holes in the concrete makes it easy for mold, mildew, and other contaminants to take root. This is why neglected garages often smell musty and moldy. Since a floor finish creates a single edge-to-edge surface without breaks, this prevents mold or mildew from gaining a foothold.


4 - Nicer looking


Resinous garage coatings look great! They're available in a variety of colors and textures, and it's even possible to add swirls of color or other visual effects. They're far more attractive than plain concrete - and that's how they can draw in home buyers. When you're showing a home with a clean, nice-looking garage, it's going to attract interest from buyers.


On the other hand, a dirty stained concrete floor isn't going to make much of an impression.

Enhanced Aesthetic Appeal: By resurfacing your garage floor, you not only will extend its lifespan but also keep it looking great for many years to come. A clean, stain-free garage floor is a great selling point for your home and can easily make it more attractive to potential buyers.


Added Living Space: With the right flooring, you can increase the living space of your home. Perhaps you want your garage to double as a workshop, workout room or dog room? It could also be a great spot for summer parties; it’s easy to do with the right garage flooring solutions. Additionally, adding storage and cabinets can also make it a more usable space.


Eliminate Moisture Issues: An old, cracked garage floor can lead to moisture collection and eventually if left untreated, spur on mold and mildew growth. But investing in a polyaspartic flooring solution like the Forever Floor from Garage Finisher will make it impermeable and help increase safety. 


Eliminate Dust: Even a brand new concrete garage floor is dusty but once the road salt has deteriorated the top layer of the concrete it will make additional dust as the concrete continues to fall apart. Once the Garage Finisher Forever Floor is installed the concrete dust is eliminated forever. Not only will your garage be cleaner but you will notice that your house is cleaner due to the elimination of this dust creator.


Enhanced Longevity: By coating or refinishing your Cleveland garage floor, it can look great for decades to come. Not only will it provide a sleek, easy-to-maintain surface, but is also resistant to chemical and oil spills.
