Preparing an older home for sale often presents a few maintenance challenges.
Fixing problems that may have been annoying you for months or years is essential if you’re going to maximise the value of your property.
One of the challenges is fixing dirty or cracked garage floors.
Getting long-term grease out of the cement is tough, and old cracks are often visible after they’ve been filled.
One increasingly popular solution is to epoxy the floor, giving your garage a new, modern look that will appeal to many buyers.
Bright and shine
Depending on the finish you select, the garage will offer buyers a stunning visual experience and set your property apart from others in the area.
Range of styles
You can select a range of patterns, textures and colours for your floor.
Likely cost
An epoxy floor costs around $2,500 for a single garage. However, there are additional extras you can select, including a non-slip surface.
Long lasting
Epoxy floors have a reputation for durability even when coping with heavy traffic. They are suitable for basements, garages, workshops and even living areas.
Dream clean
Epoxy floors do not stain and will keep out moisture and chemical spills. Cleaning only requires a mop and bucket, or a good broom.
Installation
Always use a professional company to install an epoxy floor. The process is tricky and requires thorough preparation, such as cleaning and priming the base floor.
Fixing damage
If an epoxy floor is damaged substantially, it may need replacing. However, given its reputation for durability, this appears unlikely. Small problems need professional attention.
