When I moved into my house, the garage was a mess. The drywall was wet and breaking apart in 3 spots, there were tons of holes in the walls and the worst part was the floor that was covered in an old vinyl tile that was breaking apart. Not to mention a bent garage door. I replaced the garage doors a few months ago so I decided it was time to do a complete overhaul.
For the walls, I removed the old shelving, patched all of the holes, replaced the bad drywall sections, painted everything and swapped out the outlets/covers with white hardware. Then I added an outlet where my workbench will go. I have no idea why they never added an outlet to the front of the garage to begin with.
For the floor, I completely removed the old tile with a big scraper, used the diamabrush coating removal tool, diamabrush concrete prep and then pressure washed everything. Then I laid down Legacy Industrial primer and SD epoxy with flakes. A huge thank you to Scotty at Legacy Industrial who answered my million questions and guided me through the process.
Then to tie it all together, I put down 4.5" Roppe pinnacle rubber base molding.
