Before: A DIY Epoxy Floor Coating That Looked Good—For a Little While
Consider a common scenario in Forest Hills or nearby: a homeowner decides it’s time to clean up the garage and picks up a DIY epoxy floor coating kit. It promises a quick transformation, so they sweep out the space, roll on the product, and let it dry.
Weeks pass, and flaws begin to show. A rainstorm tracks in moisture. The coating lifts where the car tires sit. Cracks that were never filled spread across the surface. Dirt collects in the peeling edges. The job didn’t last because it was never built to.
What went wrong?
- The kit was water-based and too thin to protect the floor
- There was no proper prep—no grinding, no crack repair
- And no moisture mitigation, which matters in Maryland’s humid climate
After: A GFC Floor That’s Built to Endure
Garage Floor Coatings of Maryland uses professional tools and materials designed to last in the Mid-Atlantic climate. Our team begins by diamond grinding the surface, removing contaminants and old sealers while creating a mechanical profile for bonding.
We:
- Repair surface damage to ensure a smooth, even slab
- Test for moisture-vapor transmission before applying any product
- Use only 100%-solids, moisture-mitigating epoxy for our base coat—no shrinkage, no shortcuts
Then, our proven 2-day system delivers real results:
- Day 1: Prep and application of the 100%-solids, moisture-mitigating epoxy base coat
- Day 1: Broadcast of your chosen flake blend in a full-flake spread
- Day 2: Two coats of 100%-solids, clear polyaspartic that resist UV damage, stains, and wear
The finished floor isn’t just beautiful—it’s seamless, strong, and built to withstand Maryland’s moisture and temperature swings.
Skip the Peeling. Start with the Pros.
