Have you ever heard the saying, “Don’t be a penny wise and a pound foolish”? Realizing they get what they pay for, wise consumers live by this adage. They know when they can get away with a DIY, less, expensive time-consuming home-improvement project and when they need professional help. When it comes to Orlando garage floors coatings, they don’t mess around. They hire trained technicians who know how to properly prep garage floors and apply an industrial-grade epoxy floor coating product.

We feel sorry for those consumers who listened to that big box home improvement store salesperson. He told them that his DIY garage floor coating kit would save them tons of money. What he didn’t tell them was that it would give them tons of aggravation during the process and afterwards. Not only would they spend hours and money on a product that wouldn’t last, they’d have to spend more money to have their Orlando garage floor coating mistakes professionally corrected.

Why is That Discounted DIY Garage Floor Kit a Bad Idea?

• It does not come with the proper equipment to diamond grind the floor. Acid etching is the only option. Diamond grinding the floor removes any stains and opens up the pores of the cement floor so the epoxy adheres better.
• The DIY kit is not an industrial-grade product. It’s really nothing more than floor paint and colored acrylic flakes; not a true epoxy and urethane floor coating. As a much more inferior product, the DIY floor coating product lacks strength, and can chip and peel.
• Your garage floor coating won’t be able to withstand the pressure of your car driving over it or the heat from your tires. Consequently, you will notice hot-tire lift off – the paint from the floor coming onto your tires. Furthermore, it will also yellow and fade because there is no UV protection which the industrial-grade product provides.
• You really need to monitor the application of the product. At Garage Design Works, our professionals are expertly trained to notice any curing problems during high humidity so you get a flaw-free application in less time than it would take you to do it. You’ll be able to use the floor sooner.

Overall, you will have a superior product that will last for many years if you contract Garage Design Works at 407-292-7378 to apply your new epoxy Orlando garage floor coating. It will be less expensive and time-consuming to have this project done correctly the first time.
