Fall in Houston brings cooler weather and a welcome break from summer heat, but it also ushers in storm season. Heavy rains and humid air take a toll on concrete, especially in the garage. If you’re making a fall home checklist, upgrade your garage flooring—it’s one of the best ways to protect your investment and prepare for the months ahead.
Step 1: Inspect for Cracks, Stains, and Wear
Garage floors in Houston work hard year-round. Between rainwater tracked in during storms, heat-related expansion, and everyday wear from cars and storage, concrete can quickly show its age. If you see cracks, pitting, or stubborn stains, it’s time to consider professional garage flooring solutions.
Step 2: Don’t Rely on Quick Fixes
Paint kits and 1-day coatings may seem convenient, but they skip the most critical step: moisture mitigation. In Houston’s humid climate, hidden moisture in concrete will push through these thin coatings, causing peeling and failure. Professional garage flooring uses advanced products and processes designed to last decades—not just a season or two.
Step 3: Invest in the Superior 2-Day System
At Garage Floor Coatings of Houston, we use a 2-day coating process proven to outperform shortcuts:
- Day 1: Deep-Bonding Epoxy Base Coat
We start with a 100%-solids, moisture-mitigating epoxy that penetrates slowly and deeply into the slab, locking out water vapor and creating permanent adhesion. - Day 1: We then broadcast your chosen flake blend into the thick epoxy base coat.
- Day 2: Clear Coat Protection
We follow with dual, 100%-solids polyaspartic clear coats that deliver anti-slip safety, a sleek finish, and decades of durability. It’s easy to clean, resistant to stains and spills, and designed to handle Houston’s unique climate.
You can also personalize your garage flooring with full flake color blends, giving your garage both durability and style.
Step 4: Get Ahead of the Season
By making garage flooring part of your fall to-do list, you protect your home from storm damage, improve the look and function of your garage, and add long-term value.
