In 2021, Americans completed close to 730 million home improvement projects. A popular project was a garage renovation.
Yet when you remodel your garage, you need to think about renovating your garage flooring as part of the process to increase its ROI. If you don't, it could diminish the value of the project.
Besides, a concrete floor with cracks and stains is unappealing to homeowners and buyers alike. So keep reading to learn about how to renovate your garage floor.
Create a Plan
Before you begin renovating, the first thing to do is to decide what you want your garage to look like and what purpose you want it to serve. For example, do you want to turn your garage into a spare bedroom, a home gym, or use it for parking and storage?
After you have an idea of what you want to do with the space, create a budget. Your budget will dictate the rest of the design and construction process.
The price of renovating your garage flooring can vary widely, so by having a budget, you avoid overspending.
Types of Flooring to Choose From
Next, you must decide what flooring you want to install. There are several options to choose from, such as:
- Polished concrete
- Epoxy flooring
- Polyurea flooring
- Garage tiles
- Vinyl flooring
- Stone flooring
If you have a low budget, you may opt for polished concrete flooring. It's hard, resilient, and can perform under high pressure. Plus, the polish makes it stain-resistant and easy to clean.
For something more stylish, you may prefer flooring tiles. You'll have many options if you go with tile, including rubber or race deck tiles. You can read about race deck flooring to see if it's the right choice for you.
The function of your garage space will help you determine which flooring you should go with. For example, polished concrete is great for a home gym or parking space. For something even more durable, consider epoxy or polyurea flooring.
Hire a Professional
Now that you know what kind of garage flooring you want, you can find a professional to help with installation. Unless you have specific experience with flooring installation, it's best to hire an expert to complete the project.
It will save you time and money.
Ask your friends and family for suggestions on who to hire. Getting a recommendation from someone you trust will yield excellent results.
If they don't turn up any viable options, search "garage flooring near me" on Google and see who is available in your area. Before you choose a company, read their online reviews.
Once you've narrowed it down to a few services, contact them and ask for a quote.
Also, ask about their previous work and if you can speak to customers directly. This way, you can see the work they've completed and what their customers have to say.
