Spring is in full swing across the Inland Northwest, and if your to-do list includes another round of pressure washing, scrubbing, and sweeping your garage floor—this one’s for you. Garage Floor Coating Inland NW is here to challenge the outdated assumptions that make garage maintenance harder than it needs to be.

With GFC’s professionally installed garage floor epoxy system, Spokane-area homeowners are finally ditching the myths—and transforming their garages into clean, functional spaces that support their spring cleaning goals.

Myth #1: Dusty Concrete Is Just Part of Spring

We get it—Spokane is dry, dusty, and filled with airborne grit as soon as the snow melts. But that doesn’t mean your garage floor has to look like a gravel pit. Bare concrete attracts everything from road sand to pollen and traps it deep in its pores, where it clings until you drag it into the house.

A GFC garage flooring system fixes that from the start. With a non-porous, sealed surface, it:

  • Keeps dust and pollen on the surface, so you can clean it before it spreads
  • Blocks stains from spring runoff, mud, and yard debris
  • Prevents cracking and flaking, even in post-winter freeze-thaw conditions
  • Protects your slab from daily wear and tear—and the cleaning tools used to fight it

Spring cleaning doesn’t have to begin with frustration.

Myth #2: A Garage Floor Isn’t Worth Upgrading

Some homeowners assume the garage isn’t a priority—it’s “just for storage,” after all. But during spring, it becomes mission control. It’s where you prep outdoor equipment, sort donation piles, clean muddy boots, and store everything that doesn’t fit inside.

If the garage floor is stained, chipped, and unsealed, the entire process gets harder. GFC’s epoxy-polyaspartic flooring turns it into a space that’s:

  • Easier to clean, whether it’s pollen season or spring flood season
  • Ready to support storage, staging, and seasonal transitions
  • More comfortable and usable for hobbies, DIY projects, or just unloading the car
  • Less likely to track grime and allergens into the home

It’s not just an upgrade—it’s a spring cleaning strategy.

Myth #3: A Quick 1-Day Coating Is Good Enough

In a rush to beat the weather, many Spokane homeowners opt for 1-day coatings that skip the essential prep work. These systems use polyaspartic for both the base and top coats—curing fast but bonding poorly, especially when applied to slabs affected by winter moisture or seasonal dryness.

GFC’s 2-day process delivers real results:

  • Day One: A deep-penetrating epoxy primer locks into the concrete, creating the kind of bond that holds up long-term—and provides critical moisture mitigation.
  • Day Two: Two coats of high-solids polyaspartic finish the job, forming a UV-stable, easy-clean surface that resists scratching, peeling, and water damage.

It’s the difference between “good enough for now” and built to last.
