Garage floor gets a makeover with Epoxy

During two weeks Christmas break, we accomplished quite a lot on the garage makeover front.

Our garage floor was a huge mess. Oil stains, spray paint residues, normal wear and tear all contributed towards the mess. Epoxy was the only way to bring some life back into the floor. Epoxy not only resists oil stains, wipes floor clean, also beads water. Color chips and custom paint colors hide imperfections in the concrete floor.  I wanted to try with Epoxy kits that u can get in home improvement stores. Kept procrastinating as few of my friends mentioned that theirs was chipping off or peeling off.

So we got Industrial strength Epoxy done for our garage floor. Yes, you read it right, we GOT it done :) Hubby's colleague was getting it done, hubby asked me, if we should get it too. I happily agreed. Putting Epoxy on garage floor has been on our laundry list for a long time. We felt pricing was right, so went ahead with the contractor to do an Industrial strength epoxy.

Most time consuming part was removing stuff from the garage and emptying the two cabinets. We used this opportunity to clean/Purge/Donate/Organize. Can't believe, I am posting it on the blog, here is how garage looked during/before the cleaning process :)

I have never seen my garage this clean ever not even when we moved in (There were few things from the previous owner).

- After Cleaning and Itching

- After repairing the cracks on the floor and rolling the epoxy mixture (epoxy paint and hardener)

- After spreading the paint chips on the epoxy

- After top coat

Here is the closeup, we used medium tan color.

Stay tuned for few more projects we did in the garage :), Have a great week ahead.
