​Quality garage floors have 3 things in common: 1) They look absolutely beautiful. 2) They stay down, meaning they do no peel, flake or show hot tire marks. 3) They have the perfect texture to allow easy cleaning and maintenance. To get a floor that has these 3 characteristics, there are 3 key elements that your floor installation company must have.

Key #1 - Proper Floor Prep

The first thing, is that the prepping process must be done right! This means that every square inch of the surface must be mechanically grinded. The installation crew must know the what various grinding bits do and which is best to use on your concrete surface. The final stage of prep is to vacuum the surface to remove all of the dust. At Lifetime Epoxy we use the best equipment available, Lavina Propane Grinders and Lavina Heavy-Duty Two Barrel Dust Control Vacuum Systems.

Key #2 - Skilled & Knowledgeable Installers

Applying floor base coatings, broadcasting flakes and applying a clearcoat can be done by anyone, but if you are not highly skilled, trained and experienced, the final product will be a total disappointment to the homeowner. Their is a high level of skill required to properly coat, flake and clear the surface to make it look beautiful and extremely durable.

Many times we are called to grind up and replace DIY BOX FLOOR KITS and even to replace floors installed by competitors less than 6 months later. The life expectancy of a new epoxy flooring company is just 11 months. You are either very good at what you do or you disappear. The fact that we have been in business for 10 years, proves we are very good at what we do.

Key #3 - and "quality" Quality Chemicals

The floor quality of a new garage floor also depends greatly on the quality of the chemicals being applied. Many young companies do not understand the importance of this fact, and they source and buy the cheapest chemicals they can source. At Lifetime Epoxy we do not believe there is such a thing as "cheap quality" In fact, we believe the words "Cheap" and "Quality" do not belong together.

So there you have the 3 keys to garage floor quality. At Lifetime Epoxy Floors, we back every floor we install with a Lifetime Warranty we have total confidence in our crews, equipment, and chemicals. We encourage you to do your research. Check us out thoroughly. You will find we are one of the most respected flooring companies in the Southeast.

Almost everyone that lives in a house has a garage. But not everyone cares about their garage. And let's be honest, most of the garages don't look too well. Some people really don't care because they think that the garage is only for storage or for the car and that no one can see how the garage looks. However, I am sure that people who spend a lot of time in their garage, usually end up spending a lot of time working on their vehicle, and they do care a lot about how their garage looks.

If you spend a lot of time in your garage, your garage door will be open very often. It is very likely that everyone who passes by will see your garage and what's inside it. That's why you want to make a change and make your garage look much better. The first thing which will drastically change the look of your garage is a garage floor coating.

If you install a coating on your garage floor, this will have many advantages. The fact that it makes it look better isn't the only good thing about garage floor coatings. If your concrete is damaged or has cracks or uneven spots, a garage floor coating will hide everything. Not only that, but it will also protect your concrete from further deterioration.

Another thing you will love to hear if you work a lot in your garage is that a garage floor coating will be much easier to clean than the concrete itself. Working on a vehicle can end up with spilling all kinds of fluids like oil on the floor, which are very hard to remove from the concrete. If you have a garage floor coating, you will be able to remove any stains without a headache.

There are more types of garage floor coatings. Some of them are: epoxy garage floor coating, vinyl garage floor coating, interlocking garage floor coating, roll over floor coating and so on. The most common and one of the best garage floor coatings is the epoxy garage floor coating. It isn't very easy to install, you have to watch out for a few things before you install it, but if you do it right it will last for a very long time and it will protect the concrete very well. Moreover, it will give your garage a gorgeous look. So, if you want your garage to look good, the first thing to do is install a garage floor coating.

There are many reasons for ensuring that you protect your garage floor. This area of your property which often gets forgotten about and is certainly going to have to put up with a lot of wear and tear through the years. Certainly if you live in an area where the winters are harsh then think about all that salt you will be getting on your garage floor every time you drive the car back into it. However, by putting down a good quality garage flooring you should help it to last that little bit longer.

Luckily today the types of garage floorings available come in a variety of different colors so you don't need to stick to boring old grey or black. Also if you want you can add a flaking material which is normally made from stone and this will provide you with a little more grip as well as providing your garage floor with a little classier look to it. But probably the best reason for coating your garage floor with a special flooring cover is that it will help the floor to last longer. Unfortunately if you do not coat your garage floor with one of the best epoxy resins on the market today you may find that the water and oil will get into the garage flooring and after some time they will begin to eat away at it and in turn you may find yourself having to replace the garage floor completely. Also if you happen to spill anything on your new garage flooring you will find that it is much easier to clean it up.

Although there are several different types of coating for your garage floor available certainly the epoxy resin based paints are the most popular of all. The best way to see if your garage floor is able to have this paint applied to it is by carry out a very simple test. All you need do is pour some water on to your garage floor and is if it soaks into it or just stays on top. Unfortunately if the water remains on top of the garage flooring then it has been treated with a sealer and this needs to be removed before you can apply a new garage flooring paint to yours. But prior to painting on the new epoxy garage flooring resin you will need to ensure that it is completely free of dirt.

We started Lifetime Epoxy in 2011. For 10 years we have been installing top quality garage floors in North Alabama. We install 10 to 12 floors a week. We are unaware of any other Alabama company that does that volume in floor coatings sales and installs.

Many people ask me why we are so popular and sell so many floors. I believe there are many reasons people feel confident and comfortable doing business with us. One of the reasons for our success is that we have the best installation crews in the Southeast. Our crews are highly skilled, highly experienced and their attention to detail is what we are known and respected for. Check out the pictures below:

floor issued by the National Chain. I know, because I once was one, but I realized I could buy a better variety of top quality floor coatings, to better service my customers, when I am not locked and binded by a contract that requires me to buy exclusively from the parent company. It is  a fact, some chemical companies are best at making certain coatings, while others are not. We now buy from 5 different major chemical companies. Each company has a particular coating that we offer to our customers.

So there, you have the reasons, we install more garage floors than any other company in Alabama. If you want to get a free estimate, please call 1-800-214-4311 or CLICK THIS LINK and fill out the short and simple FREE ESTIMATE CONTACT FORM.
