Why You Need Epoxy Floors For Your Garage

Your garage is an important place in your home. You can park your vehicles there, store boxes, set up a home gym, or even a man cave. Regardless of what you choose to do with your garage, you will want to take care of it and ensure it’s in good condition.

So, when we’re talking about your garage floors, you will want to use a solid and durable material to protect them. One incredibly popular material is epoxy garage coatings.

Epoxy garage coatings are a popular product for many reasons, including their durability and affordability. But that’s just icing on the cake.

Epoxy coatings provide numerous benefits to homeowners. So, let’s check out all the reasons you need epoxy floors for your garage. 

Why You Need Epoxy Floors For Your Garage

Garage floor epoxy is a type of epoxy flooring that utilizes a thermosetting resin that gets applied to concrete as a coating. The epoxy coating is a combination of one-part epoxide resin and one-part polyamine hardener, which makes epoxy a two-part coating.

Epoxy coatings for garage floors offer many advantages. These advantages include safety benefits, easy maintenance, durability, longevity, and cost-effectiveness. Let’s take a look.

Safety Benefits

Epoxy coatings offer safety benefits through their increased visibility due to their reflectivity. In addition, the light that illuminates the room will reflect off the floors and provide additional light to your garage area, improving your garage’s overall durability.

Easy Maintenance

Epoxy garage coatings are simple to maintain and are easy to clean. Unlike a traditional concrete floor that is brittle and easy to crack, epoxy garage floors are smooth and protected, resulting in little need for further maintenance.

Durability

Epoxy garage coatings are very durable and resistant to high-velocity impact. In addition, epoxy coatings can resist chemicals, heat, and water damage and provide a protective layer of protection to ensure your garage floor stays intact.

Longevity

Epoxy garage floors will ensure that your garage’s floors will last longer due to the protective layer on the surface. While the coatings may need to get re-coated every 10-15 years, your concrete will stay solid for quite for time.

Cost-Effectiveness

Lastly, epoxy coatings are a cost-effective way to protect your garage floor for a long time. The material’s longevity will help reduce long-term expenses by keeping your garage floor in good shape for a long time. These savings will add up over time and help protect not only your floors, but your wallet too!

What are the benefits of coating my garage or patio floor?

There are a multitude of benefits to coating your concrete surface. Our prep phase will eliminate high spots or surface deficiencies through diamond grinding or shotblasting. In addition, our trained technicians will fill in any cracks, holes, or spalls on your concrete surface prior to any coating being placed. This ensures a smooth and uniform appearance throughout your slab. Concrete is very porous and can make stain removal difficult. With a high-performance coating installed, you will be able to remove otherwise tough stains with a spray of your water hose. And lastly, our floors look amazing! The garage is often overlooked when it comes to renovation/upgrades, but a professionally installed resinous coating will add $$$ to the value of your home.

How long does a typical installation take?
In most cases, our highly trained technicians can wrap up your residential project in as little as 2 days. We do offer a state of the art 1 day system, where you can walk on your new floor the next day, but we do not recommend these rapid cure systems during the summer months. Commercial projects and larger residential projects (1K sq. feet or more) can certainly take more time to complete. As always, our sales team will visit your site to take accurate measurements and offer a realistic timeframe.
Do you offer free on-site quotes?
Yes, we do. EMC Concrete Coatings always prefers to visit you at your project site to take
measurements and go over your coatings/color options. Our quotes are valid for 90 days and there is never any pressure. We are not here to make you feel uncomfortable or pressured. Our process is smooth and easy for everyone involved.
Can you give me a “ball-park” price over the phone?
Yes. However, this is not the way we prefer to quote jobs. Each project is unique and a
“standard 2 car garage” is going to be different for every homebuilder in town. Square footage’s, linear walls, garage aprons, and condition of the slab all play a very important role in providing you with an accurate quote. This simply cannot be done in a matter of seconds via a phone call or messenger.
How much does it cost to install a decorative coating on my garage floor?
A typical 2 car garage coatings installation in the greater San Antonio area will cost between $2’400 and $3’000. Our pricing is based on square footages and other aspects of the project, including the linear footage of any stem walls, aprons, or repair work.

Oversized or multi-car garages, patios, or other areas will result in higher priced estimates.

Do you use epoxy or polyurea for garage coatings?
We use all the above. Resinous coatings do not come in a one size fits all application. The
details and specs of each project will help our trained technicians determine what coating is best for your project. Typically, we use polyurea coatings for our garages and patio installations. However, shop floors and other commercia/residential spaces will call for epoxies, urethanes, or water-based materials. Rest assured, no matter which products we use, they are from reputable coatings manufacturers and TDS sheets are always available to our customers upon
request.
Is this service affordable?
We are not the lowest priced team in town. We are also, certainly not the most expensive outfit on the block. Our pricing is determined by the costs of materials, inflation, demand, labor, and level of service. When choosing EMC Concrete Coatings, you have done yourself a great favor by hiring the best in the business. EMC does run specials throughout the calendar year for discounted floors and we always honor first responders, military, and front-line workers discounts.

Our team is always mindful of our customer’s budget. We are a locally owned and operated
small business, and we know the value of our hard-earned dollars and how much they mean to each one of us. We strive to provide our customers with the best possible pricing throughout the year. EMC honors our warranties, we show up on time, every time, and will go above and beyond to ensure you are 100% satisfied at the end of each project. If we miss the mark, we will rectify it. Simple as that.

Does my new floor come with a warranty?
Yes! We offer an excellent written warranty with all our floor coatings installations. Depending on which option you choose (stain, seal, epoxy/flake, solid color, or polish) the length of time will vary from 5 years to a limited lifetime homeowners’ warranty. We HONOR our warranties.
Who am I hiring if I choose EMC Concrete Coatings?
The best crew in town. From our brand-new trucks, wrapped-trailers, uniformed employees, and state of the art equipment – we are the best. Our technicians are certified and experienced installers. EMC is bonded, commercially insured, and experienced. Multiple professional references are available for commercial projects at any given time and our online reviews speak for themselves when it comes to our residential portfolio. You have made the right choice by calling the team at EMC Concrete Coatings. Most importantly, the owner of the company, Eric Calderon is personally involved in every project that comes through our door. Generally, Eric and his sales team will be the person you meet with at your project walk thru. You will then see Eric and his crew upon the day of installation. We never sub out our projects, our employees are in-house guys and Eric is there each step of the way to ensure maximum customer satisfaction!
