Keep your family safe and healthy
Garage Store is committed to providing you with safer and healthier living spaces.

We offer various textured surfaces and ant-slip media options that are broadcast into the topcoat for maximum surface grip performance.
Maintaining a healthy environment is a real issue for the homeowner that has bare concrete surfaces. Concrete surfaces that are below ground level such as basements are usually in humid environments and become a breeding ground for mold, mildew, and harmful bacteria. Many homeowners use carpeting to cover porous concrete, only to find that it becomes a health hazard, full of mold and mildew. Garage Store’s decorative concrete coatings provide a healthy alternative.
Why should I have your system professionally installed when I can purchase a do-it-yourself (DIY) product from a major home improvement retailer?Each year millions of dollars are spent on coating systems that fail due to inadequate surface preparation or improper installation. The most substantial cost of a coating is not the product itself, but the cost associated with the proper surface preparation and application of the coating system. Many DIY coatings last about 1-2 years before peeling and flaking occurs. Professionally applied system from Garage Store will last a lifetime when properly maintained.
How long does it take to install a decorative concrete coating and when can I start using it again?The installation time varies depending on system selection; most systems take 1-2 days. All systems will accept light foot traffic in 24 hours and vehicle traffic in 2-3 days.
What is the cost of installing a Garage Store flooring system?Garage Store’s decorative concrete coatings are generally installed for approximately $4.00 - $6.00 per square foot. Costs may vary based on the condition of the concrete, size of the floor, and the top coat selected.
How long will my floor last?A Garage Store flooring system that is properly installed and maintained will last 15+ years.
What do you do with the cracks found in most concrete floors?All open cracks and heavily spalled (pitted) areas can be patched. Expansion and or saw cut joints can be filled with a flexible material (allowing for expansion and contraction of concrete).
How do chemicals such as road salt or motor oil affect the coating?Garage Store coatings are highly chemical-resistant to road-salt, gasoline, motor oil, and many other chemicals.
Why do you grind or shot blast the concrete versus acid etching or deep cleaning the concrete surface?A floor coating’s performance depends on adequate surface preparation. Polymer floor coatings ideally bond to concrete with a rough, sandpaper finish; this is best done using shot blasting, diamond grinding, or power sanding. Industry standards do not endorse acid etching as a proper method for surface preparation.
