In this video I'm teaching you about finishing concrete at the garage door openings.

When I pour a concrete floor for a garage, I always slope the part of the concrete floor that's outside the garage door away from the door.

That way any rain water that hits the garage door will run down the door onto the slope and away from the door instead of going under the door and into the garage.

This video shows you how to put the slope into the concrete before it hardens. There is a special concrete finishing technique we use to remove some of the concrete, taper the concrete, and smoothen the concrete afterwards.

If the concrete doesn't slope away from the garage door in this area, you'll more than likely get water in you garage when it rains.

The video shows you how we finish the concrete on three different door openings on this 48' x 28' garage.
