Garage Floor Coating

For most homeowners, yes. Bare concrete is porous — it absorbs oil, road salt and moisture, dusts constantly, and never looks clean no matter how often it is swept. A coating seals the surface so spills wipe up instead of staining, cuts the concrete dust that ends up tracked into the house, and makes the whole garage feel like finished space rather than storage.

Preparation is the entire job. The slab has to be degreased, any existing sealer removed, and the surface profiled so the coating can key into it rather than sit on top. Cracks and pits are filled. Concrete also has to be tested for moisture, because a slab pushing moisture up from below will lift a coating off regardless of how well it was applied.

A properly prepared floor coating resists scuffs, stains and moisture and takes normal vehicle traffic without issue. The failures people have seen are almost always preparation failures rather than product failures — a coating rolled onto a sealed or dusty slab peels in strips within a year. Get the profile right and the finish stays put.
