Spring is here; the time of year
when you take the initiative of getting
those home improvement projects
completed that maybe you
have been putting off since, well,
forever.
There’s one project you can stop
putting off any longer, and it involves
one of the most important
rooms of the house withthe most
potential — the garage. That’s right.
Your garage makes up roughly 20%
of your home’s total square footage,
but it is almost always forgotten,
even though it can serve as the
main entryway for family members
and friends entering your home.
How many times have you welcomed
people into your house, only
to apologize and tell your guests to
close their eyes as they make their
way through your garage? The cold
and unwelcoming concrete floor,
stained, cracked and peeling, is not
the impression you want your home
to make on your guests. That’s why
Rich Whiddon opened Granite
Garage Floors — Orlando, part
of a nationwide franchise that not
only upgrades your garage floor to
look and last like granite but does
it all for you, so you can focus on
those other spring projects at hand,
like getting to the pool.
Just think about it, there isn’t a
floor in your home that takes the
constant abuse that the garage floor
does. Thousands of pounds with hot
tires rolling in and out of the garage
multiple times each day, which either
can stain concrete or peel the
paint right off the concrete floor.

or water-based epoxy kits sold at
home improvement or paint stores.
However, these products generally
cannot hold up against the abuse
that the garage floor takes. That’s
why Granite Garage Floors uses an
industrial-strength epoxy that isn’t
available at stores.It is the only
epoxy that can withstandthe pressures
a garage floor has to handle.
However, the secret lies in Granite
Garage Floors’ installation process
that allows Whiddon’s team to install
a product that is guaranteed to
last for life.

leave. They meticulously prepare
the concrete floor by diamond
grinding it to remove previous coatings
and stains, allowing the floor
to become porous. This allows maximum
adhesion of the epoxy to the
concrete, protecting it from hot-tire
pickup and peeling. Then, Granite
Garage Floors repairs any cracks
and fills any grooves on the garage
floor. The epoxy is squeegeed onto
the floor to ensure it is evenly distributed
across the garage. Finally, it is
covered with decorative flakes, giving
it the look of granite or quartz,
an aesthetic upgrade from stained
gray paint. Your floor will make
your garage feel as homey as the
interior of your home, while the floor
can hold up against even the harshest
abuses. The team at Granite
Garage Floors is so confident in its
process that your beautiful garage
floor is guaranteed for life.
So remember, as you get started
on those spring projects, the garage
is the most-traveled place in your
home but has the most potential for
being upgraded. Don’t wait any longer.
Your “new” garage could be
just a few days away! ª
