Let’s face it: The cost of a garage floor coating job in Detroit, MI will vary between $3 and $10 a sq.ft. for a single coat, depending on the material used (sealers, basic epoxy, flake epoxy, etc.) and the prepping work involved. In a tough economy, is it worth the money?
Jake Lowry, CFO of MotorCity Floors and Coatings, give you his perspective based on the input received from customers who decided to coat their garage floor.
“There’s a couple things that make it completely worth it.
If [your garage] floor is old concrete, it’s always worth it to give it a facelift so that you can reclaim that space. A lot of people just use their garages just as storage, especially here in Michigan. Our floor coverings allow them to reclaim that place and use it as a hangout spot.
If their garage concrete is brand-new, coating it is a great way to make sure that it will last a lifetime.
And if we need to repair a concrete floor, all the processes we use to improve the concrete before we put the coating down helps make that coating last longer.
7 valid reasons to invest in a garage floor coating project
- Epoxy coating, when done well, adds appeal to your home and raises its perceived value
- A beautiful floor makes that garage a quality gathering space for the family, not just a storage area
- Coating your garage floor with epoxy will prolong the life of your concrete
- The prepping work to be done on old concrete before coating it will prolong its life
- Do you have a workshop in your garage? Coating your floor will make you want spending more time in it
- Epoxy coating sets the stage for your garage to become your man-cave
- With epoxy coating, no more lost bolts, screws, or drillbits: they remain visible when you drop them
Epoxies are beautiful materials for garage floor coating. New types of epoxy like polyurea and polyaspartic coatings are replacing traditional epoxy as the coating material of choice of contractors. They offer a longer lifetime, better elasticity, better adaptability to the motions of concrete, better UV resistance, better salt resistance, and longer manufacturer warranties.
With a long experience of indoor and outdoor floor coating work, MotorCity Floors and Coatings now uses a combination of polyurea and polyaspartic coating for longevity and light clean-up.
