A Garage Floor That Looked Good… Until It Didn’t
Picture a Long Island homeowner determined to revamp their garage. They grab a DIY epoxy floor coating kit, clear the space, and spend the weekend applying the product. At first, it looks like a win—clean, shiny, and seemingly upgraded.
But a few months later, reality sets in. Rainwater tracks in and seeps under the surface. The coating starts to peel near the entry. Dirt clings to rough spots where the coating lifted. And those hairline cracks? They’ve come back worse than before.
What DIY Epoxy Floor Coating Kits Miss—and Why They Fail Fast
DIY epoxy floor coatings are typically water-based or solvent-based. These consumer-grade options are convenient, but they don’t deliver the strength or durability that Long Island homes need.
Here’s why they fall short:
- They provide poor moisture mitigation, especially in damp coastal conditions
- Their thin consistency means quicker wear and peeling
- They skip essential prep work like grinding and crack repair
At Timeless Concrete Coatings, we do it differently. Every job starts with professional prep and a 100%-solids, moisture-mitigating epoxy floor coating—a commercial-grade formula designed for full adhesion and long-term performance.
GFC’s 2-Day System: Built for Long-Term Durability
A successful epoxy floor coating depends on what happens before the coating is even applied. Our Long Island team uses:
- Diamond grinding equipment to properly profile the concrete
- Professional-grade materials to repair cracks and surface defects
- Moisture testing to prevent delamination from moisture-vapor transmission
We install our trusted 2-day system:
- Day 1: Concrete prep and application of a 100%-solids, moisture-mitigating epoxy base coat; followed by the broadcast of the chosen flake blend in a full-flake spread
- Day 2: Two coats of 100%-solids polyaspartic for a glossy, durable finish
