Where to Put Garage Items During an Epoxy Floor Job

If you’re getting an epoxy garage floor, everything has to come out. The space must be completely empty because concrete grinding fills the room with dust, and the new coating needs three full days to harden.

If you put your stuff back too soon, you will dent the coating, leave permanent impressions, or scar the finish.

Most homeowners don't plan for this part of the project. The real challenge isn’t the epoxy itself—it’s where your stuff goes while the floor cures.

Common Places to Store Your Stuff

To keep the floor 100% clear for those three days, most people choose one of these:

  • Rent a storage unit (Costs money and requires driving)

  • Load a truck or POD (Expensive and takes up driveway space)

  • Stack items under tarps (Risks theft or rain damage)

  • Move boxes into the house (Creates a mess in your living space)

All of these work, but they add cost and double the labor of moving your heavy items.

 

After the Floor Is Completed 

Once the epoxy is complete, the garage finally looks the way you imagined it would.

Clean. Bright. Finished. 

This is the time homeowners want to see the floor, not cover it back up.

It’s also when many realize something important: putting everything back on the floor defeats the point of upgrading it. The best epoxy floors aren’t hidden. They’re left open, visible, and easy to maintain.

Keeping the Floor Visible

This is where overhead storage makes sense—however, most homeowners don't realize the structural limits of their garage ceiling trusses.

By moving items up instead of back down, a floor-supported overhead system like ARackAbove allows the garage to stay open and polished—while still holding everything that used to sit on the floor.

The result:

  • The epoxy stays visible

  • The space stays clean

  • The garage looks open, not cluttered. Walkable. Parkable and worth showing off.
