Ready to take your garage to the next level? GatorGuard is here to give your garage floor the transformation it deserves. From regular garage upgrades to epic home gyms, there are a million reasons epoxy flooring is sweeping Kentucky. But before the pros swing by and start the installation process, let’s make sure you’re prepped and ready to ensure you get the ultimate floor coating installation.
The Ultimate Floor Coating: Step 1 – Clearing Out the Clutter
Garages in Louisville are often filled with everything from gardening tools to grills. But to give your garage floor the fresh look it needs, everything must go. Here’s a step-by-step plan:
- Move items to temporary storage: Consider renting a short-term storage pod for larger items like workbenches or shelves. It’s an easy, convenient way to store your belongings.
- Use indoor space: Small items, such as tools, holiday decorations, or sports equipment, can be moved to your basement, attic, or spare room.
- Outdoor storage: If you have large appliances in your garage, like a freezer, you can store them outside, securely covered with a tarp. Just make sure the doors are locked to prevent kids (or critters) from sneaking in!
- Be sure to wrap up any electronics that can’t be removed from the garage.
- Don’t sweat any wall-mounted items unless they are within 36 inches of the floor; above that height, they’re good to stay.
The Ultimate Floor Coating: Step 2 – Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning OFF
Got HVAC systems in your garage? Make sure to turn them off before the installation begins. Dust and debris can get sucked into your home’s ventilation system if left running, so keep it off until the top coat is fully cured.
The Ultimate Floor Coating: Step 3 – Let the Experts Handle the Floor Prep
Leave the hard stuff to us, like concrete preparation. Our crew will grind down the surface to remove any old garage floor paint, stains, or coatings. This gives the new garage floor coating a solid foundation to adhere to. Louisville’s changing weather can cause cracks in the concrete, but we’ll fill those in to create a smooth, durable surface that’s ready for anything.
The Ultimate Floor Coating: Step 4 – Hold Off on Yard Work, Other Renovation Projects
During the installation, you’ll want to avoid any yard or home maintenance around your garage. Mowing the lawn or running a leaf blower might stir up dust and debris that could interfere with the coating process. We want your epoxy floor to come out looking pristine, so press pause on those projects until the installation is complete. Think of it as giving your garage the attention it deserves!
