Why You Should Prepare a Home Garage Inventory (and How To Do It)
Anyone who owns a house should have a home garage inventory, along with a detailed list of everything else that’s being kept under their roof.
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 From tripping hazards to constant sweeping, an outdated floor can make your garage feel uninviting and unsafe.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.
