I cannot recommend anyone for your garage floor as I did my own, however, I strongly suggest that you get a friction material (like shark grip) added to the final coat. I have seen many reports of epoxy floors being very slippery when wet, and they do get wet.

What did you use on your garage floor when you did it.......are you still pleased with the results of a DIY? Thanks.

We used Tim Miller 352-217-0561. Several people in our neighborhood also used him. Did a great job.

It is a LONG story, but i used a H&C 'wet look' sealer with shark grip, the resulting floor is fine with one exception, this product does not stand up well to some automotive fluids. Now i have a working garage, so it gets some fluids and therefore some stains. No idea if the epoxy would be better. In any case, without spending lots of money and having to move lots of tools, cabinets, etc., I am not going to change to epoxy. I can clean and repaint with another 'color' H&C product, which is probably what i will do.
