Fall in Western Colorado brings cooler days, the first hints of snow in the high country, and a mix of rain and frost in the valleys. As you prepare your home for the season ahead, don’t forget about your garage. Adding garage flooring to your fall to-do list is one of the best steps you can take to protect your concrete, improve functionality, and add long-term value to your home.
Step 1: Inspect Your Garage for Wear and Tear
Take a close look at your garage floor. Do you see hairline cracks, stains, or surface erosion? These are early warnings that your concrete is beginning to break down. Left unchecked, the freeze-thaw cycles common in Western Colorado will only make the damage worse. Addressing these issues now with professional garage flooring keeps your slab strong and ready for winter.
Step 2: Avoid Quick Fixes That Don’t Last
Many homeowners try to get by with paint kits or 1-day coatings, but these shortcuts don’t deliver true moisture mitigation. Without the proper base coat, coatings fail to bond with concrete and quickly peel or bubble—especially when snowmelt and de-icing salts are tracked inside. Professional garage flooring provides lasting protection, not a temporary cover-up.
Step 3: Invest in a Proven 2-Day System
At Garage Floor Coating Western Colorado, we rely on a superior 2-day coating process designed for durability in harsh climates:
- Day 1: Deep-Bonding Epoxy Base Coat – A 100%-solids, moisture-mitigating epoxy penetrates slowly and deeply into the slab, creating permanent adhesion and preventing future moisture intrusion.
- Day 1 (Cont’d): A full flake broadcast of your chosen flake blend add thickness, texture and color to your coating system.
- Day 2: Clear Coat Protection – Dual, 100%-solids polyaspartic clear coats add anti-slip safety, an easy-to-clean surface, and decades of durability. Resistant to stains, snowmelt, and road salt, it keeps your garage looking and performing its best.
To top it off, you can choose from a large variety of full flake blends for a stylish finish that elevates your garage from purely functional to polished and inviting.
Step 4: Protect Your Garage Before Winter Arrives
By making garage flooring part of your fall checklist, you’re doing more than protecting concrete—you’re ensuring your garage is safe, attractive, and built to last.
