Home comfort is everything.
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 From tripping hazards to constant sweeping, an outdated floor can make your garage feel uninviting and unsafe.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.

There are more options for your spending dollar than ever before. Online spending accounted for 16% of total retail sales in America last year, which was an increase of 15% from the previous year. Big-box stores are everywhere across North America, offering tempting prices and the convenience of one-stop shopping. The rapidly evolving retail landscape makes it even more important to think about what it means to shop local and support small businesses. And “shop local” doesn’t just mean supporting small businesses in your community – it also includes buying domestically-made products. It’s a simple fact that where you shop and what products you buy end up having a big impact on the community you live in. Small businesses account for two-thirds of the new jobs created annually in America. In Canada, 70% of the workforce is employed by a small business (defined as a company with less than 100 paid employees). If you’re planning a DIY garage upgrade project using products purchased online or from a big-box store, here are five reasons to consider letting a local small business handle the job.
