Why DIY Epoxy Floor Coatings Don’t Survive Texas Heat
Thinking about upgrading your garage with a DIY kit? In North Dallas, that’s a recipe for disappointment. The epoxy floor coatings found in big-box stores just aren’t built for Texas weather. The result? Most fail within a year. DIY kits are typically water-based or low-solids formulas. That means:
- Thin application that wears quickly
- Weak adhesion that peels in high heat
- No real moisture mitigation, especially during our humid months
Conversely, GarageFloorCoating.com (North Dallas) uses 100%-solids, moisture-mitigating epoxy as the base coat in every installation. It doesn’t evaporate, delivers excellent durability, and slowly and deeply bonds to the concrete slab for long-term performance.
Most DIY Installs Fail Because Prep Is Skipped
The success of an epoxy floor coating depends on proper prep—and that’s where DIY efforts fall apart. A power washer or broom isn’t enough.
Our North Dallas team uses:
- Diamond grinding to create the perfect surface profile
- Crack and damage repair to reinforce the slab
- Professional assessment for any moisture-vapor transmission issues
Without this prep work, your coating will never fully bond—guaranteeing failure no matter how careful your application.
