Considering DIY Garage Floor Coating?

You may be contemplating a DIY epoxy garage floor or another DIY coating for your upcoming home makeover, but be cautious —DIY garage floor coating projects both come with significant drawbacks. Handling the installation yourself and opting for epoxy may be seem more affordable initially, but they frequently fall short compared to professionally installed polyaspartic garage floor coatings. In other words, the decision to do it yourself often does not age well — costing you time and money as the years go by.

What are the downsides of a DIY garage floor coating? Why is a polyaspartic floor applied by professionals like the team at Hello Garage of Deer Park a superior option? Here’s how DIY garage flooring solutions like epoxy and other do-it-yourself garage floor paints measure up to expertly installed polyaspartic garage floor coatings.

Many DIY garage floor coatings, epoxy kits in particular, come with notable drawbacks. From insufficient long-term durability to a long an­­­­d complicated application process, here are some of the common disadvantages homeowners face with a DIY epoxy coating.

A DIY epoxy garage floor or floor painting often doesn’t have the robustness and durability of polyaspartic floor coatings installed by professionals. Unlike polyaspartic, which is a long lasting and flexible surface, epoxy flooring is more vulnerable to cracking, flaking and chemical damage — especially in heavily used garages. Garage floor painting can easily wear away under heavy use.

Unlike polyaspartic coatings, most DIY garage floor coatings are not UV stable. This means even the best DIY garage floor coating made from epoxy can fade, turn yellow or degrade when exposed to sunlight — even light coming through garage windows or open doors.

Unfortunately, DIY epoxy garage floor kits and other do-it-yourself coatings on the market typically require multiple coats with extended curing times in between, sometimes taking several days to complete. Any error in blending or timing can ruin the entire project and lead to unsatisfactory results. Our polyaspartic floors cure faster and are put in by skilled technicians.

For the best outcome, the concrete surface of a garage floor must be meticulously cleaned, dried and often ground or chemically treated prior to installing an epoxy floor. This type of prep work is challenging and laborious for homeowners using DIY epoxy garage floor kits. At Hello Garage of Deer Park, we handle the preparation ourselves using expert tools.

Without adequate protection, fumes emitted when installing your own garage floor can be dangerous, especially in an unventilated space. You can prevent this potentially dangerous situation by hiring a professional garage floor coating company to do the installation.

Don’t waste your time, money and effort on a DIY epoxy garage floor or another DIY coating that you may not be happy with in the long run. By choosing Hello Garage of Deer Park, we handle the installation and you are able to sit back, relax and appreciate a low-maintenance, attractive and durable polyaspartic garage floor.
