Before: DIY Epoxy Floor Coatings That Can’t Handle Inland Northwest Conditions
Let’s say a Spokane-area homeowner decides to upgrade their garage with a DIY epoxy floor coatings kit. It’s affordable, easy to find, and the packaging makes it sound simple enough. The floor is swept, the epoxy is rolled on, and for a short while, it looks like a success.
But winter arrives. Snowmelt puddles near the entrance. A crack forms under the weight of daily use. Then the coating peels, especially where tires sit. What looked like a fresh update becomes another project—and another expense.
So what went wrong?
- The kit used a water-based formula, too thin to resist heavy use
- There was no diamond grinding or crack repair to prepare the surface
- No thought was given to moisture mitigation, which is essential in Spokane’s wet winters and fluctuating temperatures
After: A Floor That’s Prepped, Protected, and Built to Last
At Garage Floor Coating Inland NW, we understand the conditions Spokane garages face. That’s why we don’t cut corners—and why every floor starts with expert prep.
We:
- Diamond grind the concrete for strong bonding
- Repair damage and check for structural issues
- Test for moisture-vapor transmission before applying anything
From there, our 2-day system ensures real, lasting results:
- Day 1: Concrete preparation and installation of our thick, professional 100%-solids, moisture-mitigating epoxy base coat
- Day 1: Broadcast of your selected flake blend into the base coat
- Day 2: Two 100%-solids polyaspartic topcoats for weather resistance, chemical durability, and long-term shine
The final result? A smooth, seamless epoxy floor coating that performs in all seasons—and looks great doing it.
