Colorado garages tend to collect a little bit of everything. Ski gear in one corner, old moving boxes in another, and a pile of “I’ll deal with it later” sitting right in the middle. At some point, the clutter takes over and your garage floor paint disappears underneath it all.
If your garage could use a reset, start by getting rid of these common space-stealers.
Toss These Garage Floor Paint Cover-Ups
- Empty boxes: Let that mountain of cardboard in the corner go. This may just be the easiest, most instant-gratification-inducing step on this list.
- Broken outdoor gear: Damaged camping chairs, cracked sleds, and rusty coolers take up more space than most homeowners realize.
- Unused paint cans: Old garage floor paint and leftover wall paint tend to pile up fast. If the lids are rusted shut, it is probably time to dispose of them properly.
- Random scrap lumber: Every garage has a few leftover boards from a project that never happened. Be honest. You are probably not building that shelf someday.
- Outdated holiday decorations: Half-working lights and broken plastic decorations should not take up year-round storage space.
- Duplicate tools and hardware: Nobody needs twelve screwdrivers and a coffee can full of mystery bolts. Keep the useful stuff and clear out the rest.
- Old sports equipment: Unused bikes, hockey gear, and exercise equipment can dominate an entire garage without you noticing.
- “Maybe someday” clutter: Old electronics, extra cords, appliance parts, and things saved “just in case” are usually the biggest contributors to garage chaos.

Garage Floor Paint FAQs
Q: What is the difference between garage floor paint and epoxy?
A: Traditional garage floor paint is usually a latex or acrylic product that dries on the surface like wall paint. Epoxy coatings use a chemical reaction to cure and bond with the concrete, creating a thicker and more durable surface.
Q: How long should an epoxy garage floor coating last?
A: A professionally installed system can last decades, while thin coatings may fail within a few years.
