The Right Choice
When deciding to go ahead with your garage floor coating project, you have several choices. You can choose to do the job yourself (DIY), you can choose a painting contractor, or you can choose a floor coating specialty company.
Let's start with the do it yourself approach. There are many factors to consider when taking on a garage floor coating project. First there is which product to choose. Once you have found a product your comfortable with, then we move onto the application stage. You then must determine how you are going to prepare the surface. This is the single most important and critical step in the process. Preparation is generally the most labor intensive part of the project. You can do an acid etch prep. This requires the use of a diluted form of muriatic acid. You will need protective equipment such as rubber boots, acid type respirator, rubber gloves, and eye wear protection. Once you've completed the acid etch then you need to neutralize the surface. Also, check for oil and grease deposits which will need a commercial degreasing compound. Now that the surface is ready for the coating follow the manufactures instructions for mixing and application. You can also do a mechanical grind which requires special grinding equipment and vacuum system. This can be rented for several hundred dollars from a local equipment rental company.
Our experience has shown that most do it yourself floor projects fail 90% of the time. This can be attributed to many factors including improper prep, application procedures, or poor product selection.
Choosing a painting contractor is an option. But most (some actually do have the ability, but its rare) painting contractors are either not equipped to do the job properly. Or, don't have the knowledge in terms of product and or proper prep procedures to successfully install a long lasting professional floor coating system.

Just Moved In
www.garagefloorcoatingofnj.comSo you've purchased a new home. The concrete garage floor is clean and the walls are freshly painted. And, the garage is EMPTY. This is a great time to put down that garage floor coating.
You need to make sure the concrete has been installed for at least 28 days prior to installing any floor coating system. At Garage Floor Coating of New Jersey we always test for two things:
Even though the floor is new and relatively clean, the surface still needs to be prepped. The concrete surface needs to be open and exposed. Any unseen contaminates need to be removed.
Our preparation begins with a diamond grind. This will remove the top layer of concrete (removing contaminates) and open the concrete surface to allow our proprietary coating to penetrate into the pores of the concrete. This gives us a solid base coat with which to continue our coating process.
You've now moved into your new home. All the rooms are set up. The garage can be organized with shelving, cabinetry, wall systems, etc.
The new neighbors see your garage set up, organized, and of course that beautiful garage floor looking great.
I am sure they will be jealous, and won't believe you, "Just Moved In".

- For the presence of moisture, using a moisture meter.
- We test for a presence of a clear concrete sealer; because some concretes either have a sealer integrated into the coating at installation or applied later
