Don't go cheap! I did and I regret it. Use a good epoxy. A friend of mine used Ron Hill, 352-484-8739. Wasn't cheap, but will last forever.

Can you tell us who installed your epoxy floor?

I did my own floor in a garage addition I built....here it is;

The Villages Florida

I VERY MUCH suggest that whoever does this for you that you have them mix a cup of H&C "Shark Grip" to the clear coat. This is MUCH better than sand and will keep your floor from being slippery. It is an anti slip additive. It cost less than $5.00.......I do not know why most folks fail to use this. I am glad I used it.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the recommendation for Tim Miller. I would like to have my garage floor done before I move into my TV home.

I did my own epoxy floor with the clear coat for the top. I used Rust Oleum for the base coat and Valspar for the top coat. I just added the colored flakes on top of the base coat and after the top coat, it's not slippery at all. Looks beautiful and I only have about $250 and a couple days labor into the job.

We have an epoxy floor in our villa garage and it is beautiful. It is slick though when it gets wet. We bought our house used so we don't know who did the work. Does anyone have any RECENT experience with a contractor they can recommend?

$1,200 , and this is a Florida price ? Did he use gold dust in the mix. I'm floored, truly am. This guy is making a killing. Now I know for sure I'll be doing it on my own. No special skills are required, a no brainer for any do it yourselfer.

Creative Concrete......do a search on the threads for posts and count the number of Cliff's recommendations compared to others. I will say the the process is probably not that complicated and as others have said. If you are a DIY person you can most likely do as good a job as the contractors. If you are a mental DIY person, maybe not so much. When you get a contractor, get their FULL reference list with addresses and phone numbers then take a ride around and see the work or call those on the list.

Interlocking tiles are another option. No slip easy cleanup. Ours are 9 years old and look new. Many design options. No maintenance required except an occasional mopping.
