Ever walk on your garage floor and feel like you need to tiptoe around dust, cracks, and uneven patches just to avoid a mess? For many homeowners, an old garage floor it’s a daily frustration. From tripping hazards to constant sweeping, an outdated floor can make your garage feel uninviting and unsafe. But it doesn’t have to be like that. In 2025, there’s a better, smarter way to fix those cracks and create a beautiful, durable floor you’ll actually enjoy using. Why does your garage floor crack and wear down? Over time, concrete floors show signs of stress. Age and settling: Concrete naturally shifts and settles over time. Daily use: Heavy vehicles, tools, and foot traffic take a toll. Temperature changes: Freeze-thaw cycles can create cracks that spread year after year. Dust and staining: Bare concrete is porous, which means it traps dirt, absorbs oil, and constantly sheds dust. The result? You end up with a garage that’s harder to clean, unpleasant to walk on, and less functional overall. From old and dusty to sleek and flawless Fixing your garage floor isn’t just about covering up cracks, it’s about applying a premium-grade floor coating system that transforms the entire space. No more dusty footprints. A surface built to last: High-quality products like Floortex® are engineered for durability, resisting wear from vehicles, spills, and heavy use. Added texture with flakes: Decorative flakes aren’t just for looks; they provide traction and reduce slipping hazards. FACT: The premium floor coating products we use cure in as little as 60 seconds. That’s why our expert installers work quickly and with precision. They have to! This fast-curing technology is what allows us to deliver professional results in less time, so your garage is ready to use sooner. Why quality products make all the difference Not all garage floor coatings are created equal. Low-cost options can peel, bubble, or fade within a few years. Floortex®, on the other hand, is superior because it: Bonds deep into the concrete for long-lasting adhesion Resists stains from oil, chemicals, and road salt Cures quickly for minimal downtime Offers a beautiful, high-gloss finish with built-in texture. THE RESULT: A garage floor that’s safer, stronger, and designed to last for years to come. The benefits of a beautiful garage floor A flawless garage floor does more than just look good. Here’s what it brings to your space: Low-maintenance cleaning: A simple squeegee with water and mild soap is all it takes. Better functionality: From parking your car to working out, everything feels easier on a smooth, clean floor. Boosted resale value: Buyers notice a well-maintained garage. It’s a big selling point. A garage you actually enjoy using: Whether it’s for storage, hobbies, or entertainment hub, the difference is immediate. Is fixing your garage floor worth it? In a word: YES. Here’s what a properly repaired and sealed garage floor delivers: Safety: No more tripping hazards or shifting surfaces Longevity: Prevents cracks from spreading and moisture damage from worsening Resale value: A clean, professional garage makes a strong impression A better space overall: Whether you're storing tools, parking your car, or building a home gym, your renovation starts with the floor. Final thought: It starts in the garage. If you're planning a garage renovation in 2025, don’t skip the floor. Cracks and unevenness may seem like small flaws, but they hint at deeper issues. Addressing them now sets the stage for a better, safer, and more usable garage space in the future. Ready to fix your garage floor for good? Book a free consultation with our design experts today.

Poker, cowboys and a bull-riding champion — these are just some of the highlights that took place on October 6th during the fourth annual Mark Sutherland Invitational Texas Hold’em Poker Tournament. Garage Living Calgary had the opportunity to attend this charity event and we can tell you with confidence that it was a blast! Not only does the poker tournament provide a good time, but it does so while raising money for Pacekids Programs, an organization that supports specialized programming for children with special needs. The goal for this year’s event was to raise over 125,000 dollars for Pacekids Programs. Over 400,000 dollars has been raised during these last four tournaments. Those who came to support the charity were not disappointed. Attendees, including Garage Living, had a fun-filled evening thanks to a variety of activities, prizes and celebrity guests who were included in the event. One of our favorite games involved “knocking out” the host cowboy. Mike Reiber, owner of Garage Living Calgary, was the first to knock out a cowboy! He took out Kirk Sutherland! Charmaine Reiber, owner of Garage Living Calgary waves with her special brand of poker face! Kirk Sutherland and Mike Reiber, owner of Garage Living Calgary Mark Sutherland was not the only one giving out gifts. Garage Living, too, provided a prize!
