Low-Maintenance Garage Floor Solution By Professional Epoxy Floor Installers
Finding a low-maintenance garage floor solution is an important task for any homeowner. Professional epoxy floor installers are the experts in providing such solutions and can ensure long-term durability and performance. With epoxy and other materials, these professionals can create a beautiful new surface on any existing garage floor that will be easy to clean and maintain for years to come.
Epoxy floor installers are experienced in this type of installation, ensuring each step of the process is completed correctly with attention to detail. This typically involves preparing the existing surface, mixing the epoxy material, applying it evenly, allowing it to cure properly, and adding a finish coat when necessary. The result is an attractive, glossy appearance that will withstand extreme temperatures as well as spills from automotive fluids or chemicals from lawn care equipment.
Chemical Resistance
Keep Your Garage Floor Safe and Clean with Professional Epoxy Coatings Resistant to Oil, Grease and Chemicals
For those with a garage, ensuring the floor is safe and clean for family members is of utmost importance. Professional epoxy coatings provide durability, safety, and protection from dirt, oil, grease and harsh chemicals. Epoxy floor installers can help you choose the right coating to meet your needs while providing an attractive aesthetic.
Epoxy flooring has several advantages over traditional concrete floors in garages. First and foremost it is resistant to spills and leaks from both oil and water-based liquids due to its chemical composition which helps keep the area safe for kids or pets who might come into contact with it. In addition to its resistance to spills, epoxy flooring also provides enhanced traction due to its non-slip surface which makes it much safer than standard concrete floors when wet or icy conditions are present.

Slip-Resistant
Keep Your Garage Safe With Slip-Resistant Epoxy Floor Coatings
Garages are an integral part of homes, and it’s important to keep them safe for everyone who uses them. Slip resistant epoxy floor coatings can help protect against the dangers that come with walking on a slippery floor surface. Epoxy floor installers provide a professional service to ensure your floors are installed correctly and kept in top condition.
A slip-resistant epoxy floor coating requires no special maintenance and will last for many years with proper care. The coating is applied in multiple layers and offers excellent traction, which reduces the risk of slipping or falling due to wet conditions or debris on the garage floor. It also increases safety by providing a level of cushioning that absorbs the impact of dropped items or falls onto the hard concrete surface.
Increase Property Value
Enhance the Value of Your Home with an Attractive Epoxy Floor for Your Garage, Pool Deck, Basement, And More
Enhancing the value of one’s home is an important part of successful living. One way to easily increase the marketability and overall enjoyment of a home is through enhancing the aesthetic appeal and functionality of its garage.

Belmont is a town in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, United States. It is a western suburb of Boston, Massachusetts, United States; and is part of the Greater Boston metropolitan area. At the time of the 2020 U.S. Census, the town’s population stood at 27,295, up 10.4% from 2010.
History
Belmont was established on March 18, 1859, by former citizens of, and land from the bordering towns of Watertown, to the south; Waltham, to the west; and Arlington, then known as West Cambridge, to the north. They also wanted a town where no one could buy or sell alcohol (alcohol is now legal to purchase in Belmont). The town was named after Bellmont, the 200 acre (0.8 km) estate of the largest donor to its creation, John Perkins Cushing. Cushing Square is named after him and what was left of his estate after it nearly burned to the ground became a Belmont Public Library branch. The easternmost section of the town, including the western portion of Fresh Pond, was annexed by Cambridge in 1880 in a dispute over a slaughterhouse licensed in 1878 on Fresh Pond, so that Cambridge could protect Fresh Pond, a part of its municipal water system.[citation needed]
Preceding its incorporation, Belmont was an agrarian based town, with several large farms servicing Boston for produce and livestock. It remained largely the same until the turn of the twentieth century, when trolley service and better roads were introduced, making the town more attractive as a residential area, most notably for the building of large estates. Belmont’s population grew by over 70 percent during the 1920s.
The economics of the town shifted from purely agrarian to a commercial greenhouse base; much of the flower and vegetable needs of Boston were met from the Belmont ‘hothouses’ which persisted until about 1983 when Edgar’s, the last large greenhouse firm in the area, closed.
Other commercial enterprises in Belmont included mining clay and waste management. The reclamation of a large dump and quarry off Concord Avenue into sites for the Belmont High School and the Clay Pit Pond stands as a lasting example of environmental planning. With the introduction of automobiles and highways, Belmont continued its transition to a commuter-based suburb throughout the twentieth century.
Belmont was the home of the headquarters of the John Birch Society from the organization’s founding in 1958 until its relocation to Appleton, Wisconsin in 1989. The building at 395 Concord Avenue later became the headquarters of the National Association for Armenian Studies and Research (NAASR), which is expanding and renovating its facility as of 2019.
Railroad history
Belmont was once served by two railroads, the Fitchburg Railroad and the Central Massachusetts Railroad, both of which were later to become part of the Boston & Maine Railroad system. Originally the two railroads each had their own separate trackage through town, but in 1952 the Central Mass tracks were removed between Hill’s Crossing and Clematis Brook (Waltham), and rail traffic was rerouted over the Fitchburg line.[citation needed]
Today the MBTA owns the trackage that runs through Belmont, which is known as the Fitchburg Line. Passenger service on this line currently terminates at Fitchburg, but it once was the area’s main route into New York state. As of 2011, the MBTA was planning to extend future service to West Fitchburg.
The station stops at Belmont Center and Waverley were once grade crossings, so that pedestrian and vehicular traffic had to cross directly over rails that were in public roads. In 1907, the grade at Belmont Center was eliminated by constructing a stone arch bridge and elevated embankment to carry the tracks past a new station building. At Waverley, the grade was lowered so that the tracks ran under Trapelo Road, though the platform did not have an enclosed structure at that location.[citation needed]
A second historic railroad station building exists in Belmont, though it is not obvious. The one-room Wellington Hill Station was originally built in the 1840s as a private school, not far from its current location in Belmont Center. It was then used by the Fitchburg Railroad from 1852 to 1879. When the railroad decided to replace the station with a larger structure, the building was moved to the Underwood Estate and used as a summer house. In 1974, the station was donated to the Belmont Historical Society. It was restored and relocated to its current location in 1980.
Present day
Belmont remains a primarily residential suburb, with little population growth since the 1950s. It is best known for the mansion-filled Belmont Hill neighborhood, although most residents live in more densely settled, low-lying areas around the Hill. There are three major commercial centers in the town: Belmont Center in the center, Cushing Square in the south, and Waverley Square in the west. Town Hall and other civic buildings are located in Belmont Center. Large tracts of land from former farms and greenhouse estates form public or publicly accessible areas such as Rock Meadow, Habitat, portions of the McLean Hospital tract and various town fields.
Geography
According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 4.7 square miles (12.2 km), of which 4.7 square miles (12.1 km2) is land and less than 0.1 square miles (0.1 km), or 1.06%, is water.
Belmont is bordered by Cambridge on the east, Arlington on the north, Lexington on the northwest, Waltham on the west, and Watertown on the south.
Environmental concerns
In 2002, Middlesex County was ranked in the worst 10% of polluted counties in the United States in terms of air and water pollution. Two companies that ranked in the top 10 for polluters in the county were Polaroid Corporation in Waltham and the Cambridge Plating Company in Belmont, which is located several hundred feet from Belmont High School. Now operated by Purecoat North LLC, the Cambridge Plating Company was fined by the Environmental Protection Agency in 2002 following various violations and in 2004 following a fire that led to an accumulation of toxic wastewater.
The chemicals released were trichloroethylene and dichloromethane, both of which are harmful and have been shown to cause cancer. These chemicals are released into the air so it is difficult to trace them and to determine the source as there are also several other industries in the area that release the same pollutants.
Climate
In a typical year, Belmont, Massachusetts temperatures fall below 50F° for 195 days per year. Annual precipitation in Belmont is typically 45.2 inches per year (high in the US) and snow covers the ground 52 days per year or 14.2% of the year (high in the US). It may be helpful to understand the yearly precipitation by imagining 9 straight days of moderate rain per year. The humidity is below 60% for approximately 25.4 days or 7% of the year.
