RECLAIM YOUR GARAGE

Every family cycles through phases—and so do their garages. The Big Wheels change over to bikes and helmets, then extra furniture for when the kiddos are between college dorms and apartments. At each point along the journey, the experts at Encore Garage Ohio can help.


Over the past 20 years, Encore Garage owner Mike Padden has offered trend-inspired, decorator-worthy spaces for this new frontier in home renovation.

“Whether your goal is to create a cozy family room or entertaining space, or simply purge with purpose and organize your excess stuff in the garage, we can make it happen,” he says.


From floor to ceiling, they do it all. Most jobs begin with Encore’s Flexcore polyaspartic floor coating, which adds a luxurious look covering old, stained concrete. It’s nonporous and repels oil, grease, paint, salt, etc. Then Mike and his seasoned crew customize organizational systems and cabinetry that’s as gorgeous as anything you’d select for a kitchen or bathroom renovation.



“Renovating your garage comes with significant value-added appeal, too, boosting any home’s esthetic appeal,” he says. “It’s no longer a domestic dumping ground, but rather prime real estate for stylish home reinvention.”

They say nothing is more certain than death and taxes, but in Northeast Ohio, I’d argue that Old Man Winter’s frigid gales are just as inevitable. Soon, snow, sleet, slush and road salt will arrive, bringing their destructive forces to your garage’s concrete floor. Concrete’s porous nature means it absorbs moisture, dirt and salt, creating a corrosive brine. This, combined with the freeze-thaw cycle, leads to serious surface deterioration like crumbling, chipping and staining. A polyaspartic floor coating system, however, can protect your concrete floor from these ravages. Encore Garage Ohio can resurrect your damaged floor and add a striking, durable finish designed for years of long-lasting protection. Our service technicians will restore your garage floor by installing a multi-layer coating system that includes a wide selection of beautiful color deco flakes. Once applied, maintaining its gorgeous look is simple—just hose, mop or squeegee dirt away. This new, slip-resistant surface naturally repels oil, grease, paint, salt and moisture. This is a one-time process. No additional resealing is required, saving you time and money. We use only the highest quality, commercial-grade materials, far superior to what you’d find at a big box store. Our polyaspartic floor coating typically cures in 24-48 hours, returning your garage to service almost immediately. Ultimately, your garage is one of the most frequently used entry points into your home. Why not give it some much-needed care and maximize your living space at the same time? Give us a call before the snow starts falling to winterize your garage for years to come. In addition to flooring, consider a complete garage makeover with our Encore Signature Series custom cabinetry and smart storage organization.

Hooray—summer has finally arrived, and it’s time to tackle those home maintenance projects that haunted us all winter. One of the biggest eyesores? That stained, deteriorating garage floor. It’s tempting to ride the adrenaline rush straight to the hardware store to grab a bucket of epoxy and take the DIY route. But hold the paint rollers, “You’re bound to walk away dissatisfied when it starts to fade, peel and wear excessively in six to 18 months,” says owner of Encore Garage Ohio , Mike Padden. About 30% of our floor installations are replacements for homeowners who tried to do it themselves. We call this the “MEE” factor. It’s when homeowners feel the urge to tackle the job on their own. What many don’t realize is what a quality installation truly entails. “MEE” stands for materials, equipment and expertise. When you consider what a garage floor must withstand from supporting a 6,000-plus-pound SUV to enduring UV rays, moisture and fluctuating temperatures—it’s easy to see how a floor can fail when it’s not installed by a professional. Do DIYers understand the detailed prep work and material application techniques required for a superior installation? No. Do they buy high-end commerical-grade materials that have superior abrasive and fading resistance? No. The DIY homeowner is initially happy with their new epoxy floor installation, but within a few months, they call us to remove the coating. Their time and expense end up being all for naught. If the “MEE” factor is calling you, do yourself a favor and don’t listen. This is a gamble you don’t want to take. With 20 years of experience in garage flooring, combined with commercial-grade equipment and professional-grade materials, the floors we install are built to last. There’s a good reason we back our work with impressive warranties. Give us a call for an estimate.
