We’ve seen it before, and it isn’t pretty. Good garage floors gone bad thanks to well-intentioned, but poorly executed, DIY garage floor coating. It might seem like a simple weekend project, but trust us: cutting corners here almost always means paying more later.
So let’s walk through some cautionary tales, what can really go wrong with a garage floor upgrade, and why having Leaf Home in your corner is the best move you’ll ever make.
The Costliest Shortcut in Garage Floor Preparation
Think of moisture like a silent troublemaker lurking beneath your concrete. Skip proper garage floor preparation, and that moisture will bubble up, literally.
We recently helped a homeowner who skipped moisture testing and jumped right into applying their DIY kit. Within weeks? Their floor was popping and peeling like old wallpaper. Not exactly the “garage floor before and after” glow-up they were hoping for.
Here’s the truth: we never skip steps. Our pros test for moisture with commercial-grade meters before we lay down a drop of coating. Because a floor that fails isn’t saving you anything – it’s costing you double.
Hot Mess: When Garage Floor Coating Meets the Wrong Temperature
Coating products need just-right conditions to cure. Too hot or too cold, and your floor’s in trouble.
One homeowner tried a garage floor coating on a blazing 90-degree day. The result? A lumpy, streaky mess that peeled up by the end of summer. They called us for a do-over, and we were happy to coach them through how it should be done.
We adjust our application process to match your garage’s environment, season after season. It’s one of the many reasons we stand behind our work – and why our customers stand on floors that actually last.
DIY Garage Flooring Doesn’t Always Mean Savings (More Like Spend Twice)
DIY kits promise easy results, but we’ve seen too many homeowners end up paying twice. One family thought a quick acid wash was enough prep. Turns out, it wasn’t. Their new coating flaked up in sheets. We came in to grind, prep, and start over – the right way.
