Garage Floor Coatings for Murphy Garages in Nightly Use
More than nine in ten Murphy homes are lived in by their owners, 93.7 percent in Census estimates. The garage on our schedule is therefore a working room, usually holding the cars the household drives every day plus whatever has collected along the walls. Sampled subdivisions date from 2002 to 2013: Maxwell Creek North and Hunters Landing at the early end, Gables at North Hill at the late end, and Murphy Farms and Windy Hill Farms in between.
Not every one of those floors is bare. One Maxwell Creek North listing already advertises an epoxy garage floor, and an existing coating changes the start of the job, because it has to be ground down to sound concrete before polyurea will bond. Nick checks for epoxy or paint before he quotes.
With the garage in daily use, the estimate covers more than square footage. Nick goes over what has to come out, when the crew arrives, and when you can walk on the floor and park again. Parking during cure is the part people plan around. A Gables at North Hill listing pairs a two-car garage with two carport spaces, which gives that household somewhere to leave the cars; without a carport, the driveway takes them.
Floor size moves between subdivisions. A Windy Hill Farms listing measures its three-car garage at 28 by 21 feet, about 588 square feet, while Gables at North Hill listings show two-car garages, so the footage on the quote and the length of install day vary by subdivision. Our crews cover 10.1 miles to reach Murphy City Hall, a drive we clocked near 25 minutes in evening rush traffic.
