A garage floor withstands the worst of the endless parade of vehicles, equipment, pets, and people that stomp over its surface for years. This constant abuse will eventually lead to a garage floor that is damaged, stained, worn, or ugly. However, it doesn't have to remain in this condition. Garage floor resurfacing is a viable option for any homeowner seeking to renew their garage floor. The benefits of resurfacing a garage floor include: Damage Repair Garage floors take a lot of punishment resulting in nicks, dings, cracks, stains, and other unsightly blemishes.

will need to be redone periodically to maintain the repair. An epoxy coating is a one-time job that won't require touch-ups. Prevents Damage An epoxy coating is resistant to water and does not stain. The coating will not absorb water from leaks or water being tracked into the garage. It is also impervious to extreme heat or cold, so there is no worry that hot tires or a drop in temperature will have a negative effect on the flooring. Damage resistance is an especially pleasant positive characteristic of epoxy, because it extends the life of the surfacing, looks good longer than a concrete floor, and will cost less in upkeep. Durability The resurfaced garage floor will last for years, looking new and unmarred with just basic maintenance. The flooring is designed not to show wear and, due to its resistance to damage, the coating will remain intact and unmarked. Maintenance These garage floors are easy to clean with a broom or a mop, depending on what needs to be cleaned.
For serious accumulations of dirt or other materials or substances, a hose can be used to clear away the debris. Even notoriously difficult substances like oil will not stick to or stain the surfacing. Aesthetics Little thought is usually put into the way a garage looks. It is simply a room to put things, especially things that are dirty. That way of thinking can be altered by an epoxy garage floor coating. Available in several varieties or colors and textures, the garage can become just as attractive as the rest of the house, but no less functional than its original capacity. Cost Repairing a damaged concrete garage floor can be expensive and there is no guarantee that an accident won't occur to ruin the concrete as soon as the work is complete. An epoxy covering eliminates the worry of damage and will last for years. In addition, the cost is considerably less than other surfacing options or repair work. It is recommended that the services of a professional be employed to install the epoxy coating. Hiring a professional is more convenient and safer for the homeowner than doing the job
themselves.

It’s an experience I remember vividly. Each time I would pull up to the cone, turn the wheel, and try to get into the small area without bumping the curb or the cone. When I had first started practicing I tended to hit the curb or the cone a lot. Sometimes I would accidentally run over the curb and be on the grass. Parallel parking was a trying experience, but an important lesson. Without knowing how to parallel park, I wouldn’t have been able to pass the test to get my license. Each time I failed getting the car into the space, I could try to figure out what I did wrong and apply it to the next try.
