Polyaspartic Flake Coating | Johnson Family Garage

Project type: Garage

Flake floor color chosen: Creekbed

Project completed: April 2022

Location: Rising Fawn, GA

With Angie Johnson, her husband, her teen son, and their large dog all taking up occupancy in their home, it’s safe to say that the garage floor saw a lot of traffic! After looking at the cracked and often-dirty surface for a while, the Johnsons were looking for something better. That’s where Chattanooga Floor Care came into the picture.

Q: What were you hoping to achieve when you contacted Chattanooga Floor Care about your project? What was your vision for the project?

A: I wanted a heavy-duty floor that could withstand a lot of traffic and a lot of wear and tear. We’re a hands-on family, and our garage has a lot of heavier stuff in it, like a zero-turn lawn mower and a trailer with two ATVs on it. There’s also some shelving in the garage that holds household items and even a refrigerator out there. 

I wanted a surface that didn’t show spills, that was low-maintenance, and that didn’t require cleanup. And I definitely didn’t want anything that I’d have to repaint in five to 10 years. That was an “absolutely not” requirement.

Q: How was the installation process? How did it compare to your expectation of a project like this?

A: It exceeded our expectations. The install crew was super professional and they explained the entire process for the day in detail. They were also very easy to communicate with.

They showed up on time and immediately started working. They checked in throughout the day to let me know where they were in the process.

They explained the different coatings, and I had a lot of questions about when we could drive on the floor and when we could move different items back in, and they answered all of the questions for me.

They were done in one day and then we waited around 48 hours before moving back in the really heavy stuff, but we were able to use the floor again within 24 hours or so.

Q: What is your favorite thing about your completed project?

A: It looks so much better than the previous surface, and it’s so easy to clean. It shows absolutely no dirt. 

It’s a speckled surface, and it’s amazing. That was a big improvement from the standard concrete floor with chipped paint that was left over from the previous owners.

Q: What would you tell a homeowner considering a project like yours?

A: I would say: Go for it! It is an expense, and you don’t ordinarily think about a garage floor being an improvement you need to make, but I’m very glad our family chose to do this.

It’s a good finish, it’s low-maintenance, and it just looks so much better.

Q: Is there anything else you’d like to share?

A: The company went above and beyond and sent a little “thank you” token. That was a thoughtful gesture, and I really appreciated it. Every single person I interacted with was so professional. This is definitely a company I would recommend and do business with again.
