It isn’t unusual for a delighted Encore Garage of Ohio customer, upon viewing his or her sparkling new garage floor for the first time—and after catching his or her breath—to ask owner Mike Padden whether he can do basements as well.

“Yes, we can,” Mike assures. “For indoors, we feature a spectacular marbleized pattern that is ideal for jazzing up your basement, workout area or office.”

For more than a decade, Encore Garage of Ohio has specialized in protecting and beautifying garages with its proprietary, non-porous, Flex-Core polyaspartic coating and handsome, rugged cabinetry and organizer systems.

“We’re a one-stop shop for floor-to-ceiling garage enhancement and renovation,” Mike explains. “When people see what we can do, they see their garage in a whole new light. And your basement can be our Encore.”

The rugged, easy-to-maintain coating Encore applies to basement floors is the same that is used in garages—when you opt for the textured DecoFlake series that come in almost unlimited colors. But the marbleized patterns, Mike says, are truly unique.

“We swirl the colors into the epoxy coating,” he explains. “Like natural stone, once it’s applied, no two floors will ever look the same. Transforming your basement can be a perfect indoor project for the winter.”

Installing Encore Garage’s floor coating now will protect it from the impending salt and slush of Northeast Ohio’s winters.

In the meantime, Mike suggests, fall is the ideal time to convert your garage from a cluttered afterthought to a clean, organized—and spacious—entertainment venue for the holidays. Here are three reasons why:

  • Installing Encore’s floor coating now will protect it from the impending salt and slush of Northeast Ohio’s winters
  • Encore’s cabinets and organizational accessories provide orderly places for the summertime yard tools and toys that you’re bringing in for the winter
  • A clean, organized garage makes a convenient, spacious room to enjoy holiday gatherings

“It’s a lot of fun to smoke the Thanksgiving turkey outdoors while sipping a beer and watching football on a big screen under the shelter of a spanking clean garage,” Mike suggests. “In most homes, the garage is the largest room. It just makes sense to use it.”

Many garage upgrades begin by restoring the floor.

“Winters can be brutal on concrete,” Mike says.

“The salty slush that drops off your car eventually eats away at the concrete, causing unsightly chipping and cracking and it can get really ugly in a short period of time. Our floor coating protects it from damage. It is seamless and non-porous, so liquids can’t seep down and attack the concrete below. It is stain resistant—even against oil and grease—and it couldn’t be easier to maintain. All you need is a hose and a squeegee to keep the floor looking like new for many years.”

Encore’s cabinetry is as attractive as it is strong, Mike says.

“We offer the finest garage cabinets and garage storage solutions in the industry. From our durable wood-core, thermally fused laminate cabinets to our powder coated metal cabinets, our storage cabinets are built to last. They are available in a variety of sizes and styles, from tall storage to workbench configurations, and are designed to fit your exact needs.”
