Garage floor painting

[WickedMike]

I want to have my garage floor sealed/ paint coated. My understanding is the best material is polyaspartic floor.
Looking for company that does this service to get estimates. Anyone have recommendations or conflicts?

Make sure the final coat has slip resistant finish, like spark grip. Finished concrete can be very slippery when wet.

We used Liquid Floors USA's "Full Flake System" (liquidfloorsusacfl.com) back in September 2019. Today, the floor looks the same as it did 5 years ago - no stains, wear spots or materials sloughing off. While I believe it's the same company, process and materials, the ownership has changed.

I used Innovative Concrete Coatings for my polyurea/polyaspartic floor coating. They did a satisfactory job. Note that polyurea/polyaspartic will cost more than epoxy (almost double) but you probably already know that.

I’m sure your research has yielded the best possible coating material.

But standard epoxy paint with or without flakes is also really good.

Top notch service. Vincent (owner) was very knowledgeable and easy to deal with. He knows his stuff.

We used Innovative Concrete two years ago. Very happy with their work and service.

DreamDeColores.com does an excellent job and is not expensive.

After a ton of research I highly recommended these guys. Poly is the way to go for long term wear and tare. Titan Garage Flooring, Concrete Coatings & Epoxy Flooring Leader (https://titanflooringapplications.com/)

Perfect solution, if you want to redo the floor every couple of years.

I recently had B & D Concrete Creations seal my garage and driveway. Very happy with the results. Contact Romaldo Mayhuire at 352-455-9614.

Very, very slippery.

WRONG! Mine was epoxy painted in 2005 and still looks the same nearly 20 years later.

If you plan to work in your garage for hobbies, etc., consider a solid color floor. The flakes are nice to look at but if you drop small hardware on the floor, it can make it difficult to locate. I love my 'hangar' floor. Go with a white to brighten and reflect light, or a light gray.

Another vote for Romaldo and B&D Creations. Most reasonable and did great work for us!

This is great, unless you have a garage floor that gets hit with afternoon sun. The light safety sensors get reflection that requires shadowing them for proper garage door operation.

I do this stuff for a living, I'm not wrong. You're lucky.

Its a tradeoff. The flakes add some texture to the floor and hide stains, But they also hide dropped screws and other bits.

I agree, it does take longer for them to apply the flakes on top of the initial coat. Then they let it dry, scrape, vacuum etc. But between that flaked texture and the silicon they sprinkle with the clear coat you end up with a shiny stunning floor and no one is slipping.

I recommend Master Coatings. They use an epoxy base coat which adhers better than polyurea and it includes a vapor barrier. They then do a full broadcast of flakes so that there is complete coverage for better traction and a better look. Top coat is Polyaspartic which is the only top coat to consider. Lifetime warranty.

I also used Innovative Concrete Coatings 1.5 years ago. Excellent installation and result: they stayed until 8 pm to finish the job because there was a skim coat of cement on the floor the at took 4 hours to remove (instead of the usual 2 hours). Surface is not slippery. Pictures of the work, at my house, is posted in this forum at:

Lesson learned: expensive, but you get what you pay for (and I received an excellent result).
