- After etching the concrete, we apply a milky layer of specialty paint primer or epoxy primer.
- Finally, the painters at Freire Painting apply several coats of paint or a one-part epoxy paint.
Garage Floor Painting and Epoxy FAQs
What Are the Benefits and Problems with Epoxy Floor Coating?
On the plus side, epoxy floor coatings are economical, resist damage and are easy to maintain. Epoxy is also chemical resistant, which is why it is popular for garage floors. Some people see the following as the negatives:
- Epoxy floors do not muffle walking and contact noise.
- The epoxy coating feels cold like a tile floor under foot.
- Epoxy floors do not offer any non-fatiguing benefits.
- Imperfections in the underlying floor may look like ripples once epoxy paint has been applied.
When Should You Not Epoxy a Garage Floor?
Epoxy can have adhesion problems. The epoxy coating doesn't adhere well in very cold temperatures or in humid and high moisture areas like a basement or bathroom. If adhesion is poor the epoxy coating will crack and peel.
How Long Does an Epoxy Garage Floor Last vs. Painted Concrete?
An epoxy floor painted to the correct thickness will last between 10 and 20 years and require minimal maintenance. A painted concrete floor may chip and peel quickly especially in high traffic areas. That can often result in the need for yearly touch ups.
The painters at Freire Painting are very conscientious when it comes to being clean and tidy. We keep our work area clean and complete a full clean-up quickly after finishing the project.

what our customers say
We had a large kitchen and bathroom renovation over the Winter of 2022. Levi and team were brought in to paint the interior walls, ceiling and a staircase. This was our first interior renovation since buying the house in 2014. Levi was able to consult with us and give us sample paints to see what colors worked best in each room, matching it perfectly to the cabinets, tile floors, and fixtures. They went to great length to sand and prep the area filing in the gaps with caulk and other building material to give us a great finish. We couldn't be happier with the job performed. I highly recommend them.
Freire Painting has been our go-to choice for interior and exterior painting for a decade. I have recommended Levy to friends in Acton and Concord and everyone has been pleased with the quality of his work. Levy is professional, honest, dependable, meticulous and fairly priced. In 2015 Freire Painting, prepared the exterior surface of our home for paint. They are capable of making required carpentry repairs and preparing surfaces to best hold paint and preserve the paint job for years to come.
