A floor coating service can get your garage floor looking great again, but you need to know the right company to choose from. You need the work to not only look great but be durable and last a long time. We’ve put together a guide that helps you choose the perfect floor coating company.

Your garage floor is an investment, so take these tips to heart when choosing a service.

1. What Are Their Options for Coating?

There are many different options for garage floor coatings. Research the types and choose the one that is best for your floor. When seeking a floor coating company, ask them if they have the specific style you’re looking for.

If not, ask them why and what options they believe would be best for your floor.

2. Use an Insured and Bonded Floor Coating Service

You want a professional to handle your garage floor coating. They are insured and bonded. When seeking a company, ask to see their license and get their license number. Validate their number with the state.

They should also provide a copy of their insurance papers. They need to have liability insurance in case anything goes wrong, and they end up causing damage.

3. Check for References and Reviews

Floor coating companies should have references available for you to call about their quality and reputation. Contact them, but don’t stop there. Everything is online and there are several websites like Yelp that people can go and review businesses.

Take these reviews to heart because these are the unfiltered responses from people who have used the company. The occasional bad review isn’t a big deal, but if there are several of them, then you might want to move on to the next company.

4. Get Quotes from Multiple Companies

When discussing the job with the floor coating companies, make sure to get an estimate for the job. Don’t stop with just one company but get quotes from several. Ask what each quote entails and how long the job should take.

If there is a quote that is especially low compared to the others, ask more about it before choosing it.

5. Ask for a Portfolio

Floor coating companies are proud of their work and often take before and after pictures. This shows how bad the floors were and how great they are now. It’s a way for them to show off their expertise.

Go through and see if there are any specific ones that you liked and ask about them. You may end up with something different because you saw look great on someone else.

Choose Your Service

After checking and researching each business, it’s important to choose one that you’re comfortable with. If there is a floor coating service that looks great, but you don’t feel right about it, then don’t choose it.
