Garage floor cracks and surface damage can develop for several reasons, including moisture intrusion, temperature changes, heavy vehicle loads, and natural settling of the concrete. Over time, these factors can lead to cracking, chipping, spalling, or uneven areas, especially in older slabs or garages that see frequent use.
No. Many garage floor cracks are surface-level and do not indicate a structural issue. Hairline cracks and minor surface damage are common and can often be addressed with proper repair and resurfacing. Larger or shifting cracks may point to underlying problems and should be evaluated by an experienced contractor.
There’s really no quick or simple DIY epoxy garage floor project. Proper application of epoxy or polyaspartic coatings requires careful surface preparation, precise mixing, and close attention to detail for long-lasting results. For best results, we recommend hiring an experienced professional. If you choose to do it yourself, be sure to follow a detailed, step-by-step guide closely.
There’s often confusion between epoxy paint and epoxy coatings. While the names sound similar, they perform very differently. Epoxy paint contains only a small amount of epoxy and wears like paint, while an epoxy coating bonds to the concrete to create a durable, long-lasting protective surface.
