Horseheads, NY (PRUnderground) May 5th, 2025
Spring has settled in across the Southern Tier, and homeowners throughout Upstate New York are sweeping out garages, hauling out storage, and preparing for a deep clean. But there’s one major part of the home that’s often overlooked—or misunderstood entirely: the garage floor.
Garage Floor Coating of New York is here to bust the myths holding homeowners back. With GFC’s advanced garage floor epoxy system, you can finally stop fighting your floor—and start building a cleaner, more functional space this spring and beyond.
Myth #1: The Garage Isn’t Dirty—It’s Just a Little Dusty
In Upstate New York, “a little dusty” quickly turns into a mess. Between winter salt, gravel, melting snow, tracked-in mud, and wind-blown pollen, your garage collects everything spring throws at it—and then some.
And with unsealed concrete, the situation only gets worse:
- Pollen and grime settle deep into the surface
- Salt and water stains mar the concrete
- Freeze-thaw cycles create cracks and flaking
- Moisture seeps in, leading to odors and structural concerns
That “just dusty” garage? It’s actually holding you back from real spring cleaning.
Myth #2: Power Washing Once a Year Is All You Need
It’s tempting to believe that one big cleanup gets the job done. But power washing doesn’t solve the underlying problem—porous concrete that holds onto everything from road salt to pollen. It may look better for a few days, but that layer of grime will be back before your spring checklist is halfway done.
GFC garage flooring provides a better answer. Once installed, our seamless coating system:
- Keeps debris on the surface, making it easier to sweep or mop
- Prevents stains from setting in, no matter what you drag across the floor
- Mitigates moisture vapor, stopping damage before it starts
- Stands up to heavy impacts, from snow blowers to storage bins
- Allows for strong chemical cleaners, so deep cleaning isn’t risky
This spring, you can clean once—and actually stay clean.
Myth #3: All Garage Coatings Are Basically the Same
Many companies offer 1-day garage floor installations that sound convenient but cut corners. These systems use polyaspartic for both the base and top coats. The result? A floor that cures fast—but doesn’t bond well, especially in the Northeast’s wet springs and cold winters.
GFC’s 2-day process was built for homes like yours:
- Day One: We apply a deep-penetrating epoxy primer that bonds with your slab and provides long-term moisture mitigation
- Day Two: Two coats of high-solids polyaspartic form a UV-stable, abrasion-resistant top layer that holds up through all four seasons
The difference is more than technical. It’s visual. It’s functional. It’s long-lasting.
