When It's Time for a Garage Floor Makeover


When was the last time you gave your garage floor some love? If it's been a while – or if you've never given it much thought at all – it might be time for a makeover. A new garage floor can make your space more functional, safer and attractive  Here are the signs that you might need a garage floor makeover, or that it’s time to remove your deteriorating natural stone flooring.


The Signs to Look Out For

Here are a few signs to look to help you determine whether it’s time for a garage floor makeover:


A cracked floor: This is not only unsightly, but it can also be dangerous. Cracks in your garage floor can trips and falls. Cracks occur for a variety of reasons, from shifting foundations to poor drainage. If your floor has cracks, it's time to do something about it.


An uneven floor: If your garage floor is uneven, it can make it difficult to park your car or move around without tripping. Unevenness can also lead to cracks, so it's best to take care of this problem before it gets worse. 


An old floor: If your garage floor is more than 20 years old, it's probably time for an upgrade. The older a floor is, the more likely it is to have cracks and other problems. Age is also a factor in how well your floor will resist staining and other wear and tear.


A pitted floor: Road salt dripping off your car reacts with the concrete and erodes the top surface causing unsightly, unsafe pitting in the top layer of the concrete.  This also causes a large amount of continual dust in your garage that can only be fixed by installing new garage flooring. 


An unattractive floor: A dull, lifeless floor can make your whole garage look dingy. Stains in your concrete make the entire garage look unsightly.  If you're tired of looking at your drab or stained concrete floor, it's time to do something about it.


Is your Nature Stone Flooring Chipping, Pealing and Breaking Apart?

Once you've decided that it's time for a new garage floor, the next step is to remove the nature stone flooring you might have and install a non-porous, Forever Floor Coating System, which doesn't require re-sealing.
