Do I need to seal a garage floor before painting?

• <div><p>You’ll usually need to prime a garage floor before painting—especially if the floor is unpainted. Garage floors are made from concrete, which is porous and produces dust. The dust can contaminate the paint and cause issues with adherence. </p><p>Primer creates a barrier and gives you a clean surface to work on. It also minimizes absorption to help give you an even, pro-looking paint job. Make sure you choose a primer that’s specifically designed to cover concrete flooring.</p></div>

Can you DIY chip seal?

• <div><p>Driveway installation is challenging. While chip seal might sound easier to apply than asphalt, the process still involves heavy machinery and professional skills. Unless you come from a construction background, we recommend hiring <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/asphalt-companies/">an asphalt company</a> to chip seal your new driveway. If you are paving the driveway entirely with chip seal, expect to pay <b>$5 to $10 per square foot</b>.</p></div>

Q: How many coats of paint should you put on a garage floor?

• <div><p>Apply two coats of paint to a garage floor after priming for optimal results. The first coat serves as a base layer, providing adhesion and coverage. Allow the first coat to dry thoroughly before applying the second coat, typically after 12 to 24 hours. The second coat ensures even coverage and durability and enhances the floor's appearance. Additionally, applying two coats helps to create a more substantial barrier against stains, chemicals, and wear and tear, resulting in a longer-lasting finish. </p></div>

Q: How long does stained concrete last?

• <div><p>Concrete stain should last for<b> five to 20 years</b>, depending on the type of stain you use. Acid-based concrete stains can last up to 20 years if they&rsquo;re well-maintained, though you'll do well to reseal the concrete every few years. Water-based concrete stains will last about five years before the color begins to fade, especially on outdoor concrete projects that see UV light, rain, and snow. Most homeowners reseal their stained concrete every three to five years to maintain the color, regardless of the type of stain they used.</p></div>
