Back to School, Back to Projects: The Best Time to Upgrade Your Floors

August in Florida marks more than just the return of school buses and packed lunchboxes—it’s also one of the smartest times to plan your next home improvement project. With the kids heading back to class, the house is quieter, schedules are (somewhat) more predictable, and for many homeowners, it’s the calm before the holiday storm.
If you’ve been thinking about getting your garage, patio, or pool deck coated, don’t wait. Now is the ideal time to take action—before hurricane season reaches its peak and the holidays take over.
Why August Is the Window You’ve Been Waiting For
Let’s face it: when the kids are home all summer, getting major projects done can feel like an uphill battle. Between camps, family trips, and keeping everyone entertained, home improvement often takes a back seat. But when those first school bells ring, your schedule suddenly opens up—and that gives you a golden opportunity.
By scheduling your coating project in August or early September, you’re working ahead of:
Peak Hurricane Season (Mid-August to Late October): Once storms are brewing, outdoor work gets delayed, schedules back up, and your surfaces are left unprotected.
The Holiday Rush: From Halloween to New Year’s, your calendar will fill up fast—and the last thing you want is a half-finished project when guests are coming.
Fall Birthdays & Gatherings: If your family hosts kids’ birthday parties in the fall, you’ll appreciate having a finished, easy-to-clean surface ready for celebration.
Protect Your Surfaces Before the Storms Roll In
We’ve seen firsthand how much damage unprotected concrete can suffer when hit with heavy rain, high humidity, and debris. Coating your garage, patio, or driveway before hurricane season hits full force helps:
Prevent Moisture Intrusion and cracking
Improve Slip Resistance on outdoor surfaces
Protect Against Stains and Tire Marks in your garage
Minimize Future Repairs when time and budgets are tight later in the year
At Tru-Grit Flooring, our Polyaspartic and Epoxy systems are engineered to hold up against Florida’s harshest conditions, including UV exposure, water intrusion, and even heavy traffic. With options that can be installed in as little as one day, we’ll help you beat the rush and get it done before life gets busy again.
Make Your Space Party-Ready
From fall cookouts to back-to-school hangouts and birthday parties, your garage and patio quickly become go-to spaces for entertaining once the weather cools. A professionally coated floor isn’t just durable—it’s beautiful, easy to clean, and gives your home that “finished” feel that makes hosting a breeze.
And once those holiday lights go up? You’ll be glad you tackled this project when you did.
Don’t Wait for a Storm or a Full Calendar
Your time is valuable, and the next few months are about to fly by. Get ahead of the season and protect your home with a floor that’s hurricane-ready and holiday-ready. Whether you're interested in a flake system for your garage, a slip-resistant patio coating, or sealing your driveway before the weather shifts, we’re here to help you plan it right.
