Want Your Garage Floor Epoxied but Have Nowhere to Put Your Stuff?
You finally decide to get your garage floor epoxied. Then you look around and realize one thing: where is all this stuff supposed to go?
Garages tend to become storage spaces over time. Tools, holiday decorations, lawn equipment, bikes, boxes, and everything else eventually find their way inside.
At Southeast Epoxy, we know clearing out a full garage can feel like a project of its own. However, not having extra storage space does not have to stop you from getting the garage floor you want.
Rent a Moving Truck for Temporary Storage
Instead of renting a storage unit, consider renting a moving truck, such as a U-Haul.
You can park the truck at your home and load everything directly from the garage. Your belongings can stay inside the truck while your garage floor is unavailable.
Once you can move everything back inside, simply unload the truck and return it.
This eliminates the need to transport everything to a storage facility, unload it, and then make another trip to pick it all back up.
Temporary Storage Without the Storage Unit Cost
A rental truck may also be an affordable option, depending on the company, truck size, rental period, and mileage.
If the truck stays parked at your home, you may only need to drive it from the rental location to your house and back again. That can help keep the total mileage low.
However, rental rates and mileage policies vary. Always check the current terms and total cost before reserving a truck.
Make Moving Everything Easier
Before loading the truck, take a few minutes to organize your garage.
Put smaller items into boxes or storage totes. Keep similar items together so they are easier to find later. Additionally, place anything you may need during the next few days toward the front of the truck.
It is also a good opportunity to decide what actually needs to go back into the garage. If you find things you no longer use, consider donating, selling, or throwing them away.
You may end up with a cleaner and more organized garage to go along with your new floor.
Plan Ahead for Your New Garage Floor
Southeast Epoxy can complete many residential garage floors in just one day. However, you still need to plan for curing time before moving everything back inside.
Our current guidance allows foot traffic after 24 hours, while vehicles should remain off the floor for 48 to 72 hours depending on conditions. Therefore, it is a good idea to plan on keeping your belongings stored for a few days rather than rushing to move everything back.
Don't Let a Full Garage Hold You Back
A garage full of belongings can make getting your floor epoxied seem like a much bigger project than it actually is.
If you do not have anywhere else to put everything, a rental moving truck can provide convenient temporary storage right at home. Load it once, keep everything nearby, and unload it when your garage is ready.
Southeast Epoxy provides garage epoxy flooring in Myrtle Beach and throughout surrounding Grand Strand communities. If figuring out where to put everything has been holding you back, a little planning may be all you need to finally get started.
