All Garage Flooring Is Not the Same: Garage Finisher vs The Other Guys

Mario Salwan • October 17, 2024

Not all garage flooring systems are created equal, and the difference in quality can affect the longevity and durability of your investment. While some companies cut corners with cheaper materials and lackluster service, Garage Finisher stands out for our commitment to excellence. In this blog, we’ll explore why Garage Finisher's Polyaspartic garage flooring system is superior to the Other Guys, and why it should be your first choice.


Superior Materials for Long-Lasting Results


At Garage Finisher, we use a proprietary 5-layer Polyaspartic flooring system that provides unmatched strength, flexibility, and durability. Polyaspartic flooring is a relatively new product, first developed in the 1980s and gaining widespread popularity in the 2000s. 


Its advantages over traditional epoxy are clear—epoxy tends to be brittle and prone to peeling, especially under hot tires, and it often requires frequent maintenance and reapplication. Polyaspartic, on the other hand, is designed to withstand extreme temperatures, high impact, and heavy traffic without peeling or cracking. Garage Finisher also fills in the joints of your garage floor seamlessly, something that epoxy systems often fail to do.


The Other Guys, on the other hand, tend to rely on older, less durable materials like epoxy that can’t hold up to the same wear and tear. Their flooring systems often begin to peel or crack shortly after installation, especially in environments where tire friction is an issue. 


Hassle-Free Installation and Service


Garage Finisher takes the stress out of garage flooring installation with a streamlined process that puts the customer first. We go above and beyond by removing all your garage contents for you, and storing them in our enclosed trailer at no additional cost. 


We even take care of disposing of any items you no longer need. After we complete the installation of your Polyaspartic flooring, we return your garage contents to the garage the very next day. That means you can start enjoying your newly finished garage without the long wait time.


In comparison, The Other Guys often require you to move your own garage contents and makes you wait five days or longer for the floor to fully dry before you can return your belongings. This not only wastes your time but can also cause unnecessary strain and inconvenience. Choosing Garage Finisher means a fast, efficient installation process with minimal disruption to your routine.


Unmatched Garage Flooring Warranties for Peace of Mind


One of the biggest advantages of choosing Garage Finisher is our "No Exclusions" lifetime, transferable warranty. This comprehensive warranty covers any issues that might arise, with no hidden terms or annual re-sealing requirements. With over 15 years of experience and thousands of successfully installed floors, we stand by our work and are proud of our A+ rating.


The Other Guys, on the other hand, often offer warranties that come with multiple exclusions and stipulations. These limited warranties often require expensive annual re-sealing or maintenance to remain valid, which can add significant costs over time. If a company needs a page of exclusions for their warranty, it’s a red flag—they’re expecting their floors to fail.


Our team is here to answer any questions you may have and help you get started on your garage flooring upgrade. Don’t settle for the other guys—
choose Garage Finisher for the best garage flooring and customer experience in Cleveland and the surrounding areas of Ohio.
