Before & After: See the Transformation of a Coated Garage Floor
February 9, 2026

If your garage is just a place to park cars or store tools, you’re missing out on its full potential. With the right floor upgrade, your garage can become an extension of your home—cleaner, more functional, and a lot more attractive.

At DFW Flake & Epoxy Floor Coatings, we’ve helped countless homeowners in the Dallas–Fort Worth area turn dull, stained, cracked garage floors into beautiful, high-performance surfaces. In this blog, we walk you through a real-life example of what happens before and after a garage floor coating.

The Problem: A Typical Bare Concrete Garage

Like most garages, this homeowner’s floor had:

  • Oil stains from years of parking
  • Minor surface cracks and chipping
  • A dull, dusty appearance that made the space feel neglected
  • Bare concrete that was hard to clean and held onto moisture

It was time for a serious upgrade—something that would last, look great, and stand up to daily use.

Step 1: Surface Preparation

The secret to a long-lasting epoxy floor is all in the prep work. Our team:

  • Ground down the surface with diamond grinders to open up the pores
  • Repaired surface cracks and pitting
  • Removed oil, dust, and debris to ensure a clean bond

Proper prep ensures the coating adheres permanently to the concrete—no peeling, bubbling, or lifting down the line.

Step 2: Application of the Epoxy System

We then installed our premium flake epoxy system, which included:

  • A solid color base coat (in this case, medium gray)
  • A full broadcast of decorative flakes for texture and style
  • A high-performance clear polyaspartic topcoat for UV and chemical resistance

This combination creates a durable, non-slip surface that’s both beautiful and functional.

The Results: A Total Transformation

The final result speaks for itself. The garage now features:

  • A clean, bright floor that reflects light and makes the space feel bigger
  • A slip-resistant surface ideal for walking, working, or parking
  • A coating that resists chemicals, oil spills, tire marks, and weather changes
  • Zero cracks or visible stains

It’s now a space that feels like part of the home—not just a forgotten corner.
