So I have a 450sq foot garage, I have race deck for the primary garage but in the back corner I have a little 5x8sh area that is concrete, smooth texture. It has some stains, oil etc. of some sort from previous owners. I know epoxy would be ideal, but I honestly don't want to do that for this area, its fine as is, its not heavy traffic just me walking around on it.

So after 12+ years my epoxy floor is starting to get really tired looking. I am thinking about replacing it with Racedeck, The only issue is that my garage has quite a bit of cabinets, shelving etc. Should I really run the Racedeck under all the equipment. Or can I terminate it at the cabinet front? Is there a trim piece that I can use for a clean look? Open to suggestions. Especially want to hear from people who ended up not running it underneath and regret it. I would rather NOT... Read more ..read more

my wood workshop is in the basement of our 1894 house / concrete floors. The 20x20 area of my workshop was painted prior to us moving in with what i guess to be big box floor paint.

There is no noticeable moisture or water intrusion and there were no issues with the existing floor paint other than basic wear (no... Read more ..read more

I have a floor that has Luxury Vinyl planks, that I have found when water is spilled it gets in the cracks and seeps through. I just want some type of coating that I can apply on top that will make the area waterproof. I don’t care what color, just need the floor in this one area watertight. Thought about using like Henry’s roof coating, but wonder if there is a better option ..read more

Long time reader, first time posting. I’ve recently had my floors finished to clean up the look of my garage while maintaining its usefulness (before pic from my archive included). I keep my garage clean and organized at all times, but I do use it.
