5 Reasons to Coat Your Garage Floor This Year
Your garage floor takes a beating — between Wisconsin winters, salt, oil stains, and daily wear, it’s often the most abused surface in your home. If you’ve been thinking about upgrading your garage, a professional concrete coating is one of the smartest investments you can make.
Here are five reasons why this year is the perfect time to get it done:
1. 🧼 Easier to Clean and Maintain
Uncoated concrete is porous, which means it absorbs everything — oil, dirt, salt, moisture — and traps it in hard-to-clean pores. A coated garage floor is sealed and smooth, so you can clean it with a broom or mop in minutes. No more scrubbing at stains or dealing with dusty, chalky concrete.
2. ❄️ Protection from Salt, Moisture & Freeze/Thaw Damage
Wisconsin winters are brutal on bare concrete. Salt and water seep in, freeze, expand, and cause cracking and spalling. A high-quality coating (like polyurea with a polyaspartic topcoat) creates a moisture-proof barrier that shields your floor from seasonal damage.
3. 🚗 Boosts Durability for Daily Use
Whether you're parking vehicles, storing tools, or using your garage as a workshop, a coated floor can handle it. It resists tire marks, impact, chemicals, and abrasions, all while maintaining a clean look. No peeling, chipping, or flaking like old-school epoxy.
4. 🎨 Transforms the Look of Your Space
Coated garage floors aren’t just tough — they look incredible. Choose from flaked, metallic, or solid-color finishes that match your home’s style. The result is a cleaner, brighter, more finished look that adds curb appeal and feels more like part of your home than a utility space.
5. 📈 Increases Home Value and Buyer Appeal
If you’re planning to sell in the next few years, a professionally coated garage floor is a subtle upgrade that buyers notice. It tells them the home is well cared for and can add perceived value compared to homes with cracked or stained concrete.
