That is gorgeous, very nice job, did you build the cabinets also?

Question, with the weight of a car have any tiles cracked?

Default These tiles are peel and stick

The cabinets were bought and installed by Lowes....

Woody at Superior Concrete did ours with epoxy. We're very, very happy with the results. Floor cleans up with little or no effort. Highly recommend his work. 352-454-4002

Here's another vote for Woody.....Great job, no skid, thrilled with finished product and his overall work doing the lanai and driveway and walkway also.

We went with Woody for the garage floor because his treatment is all two-part epoxy (not acrylic base or acrylic clear over epoxy base). He does two color epoxy coats, followed by the clear epoxy coat. I am going to have a model plane workshop out there, and I wanted a coating that would stand up to occasional paint, solvent or glue spills.

now after several months of use, would you still recommend Woody? We just built a new home and will be down mid October for only 10 days and trying to line up a contractor to do our garage at the very least. Thank you, Linda

Default Woody for garage floor

Sorry, I am just getting used to TOV. We have a new home in Sanibel and I am looking for a contractor to do our garage floor in epoxy. Have seen several good recommendations for Woody from Superior Concrete Designs. Now that you are several months in would you still recommend his work?

Thank you, Linda Pierleoni

Woody did our garage floor in 2010, and while we're very happy with the finished floor don't believe that the floor is impervious to just about everything. For one, we spilled Simple Green and it messed up the epoxy clear coat. So I would also expect that solvents or glue spills might react similarly with the epoxy. You also have to be extremely careful filling the batteries of an electric golf car because any acid overflow will also destroy the epoxy. Otherwise the epoxy finish is as smooth as glass and very easy to wipe clean. If you do go with the epoxy, try to avoid direct sunlight while the floor is drying. It caused our clear coat to bubble, which Woody then had to do over.

We used Tim Miller. Tim the tool Man. He did a good job plus he put in our attic stairs too. His # is 352-217-0516. I like the epoxy coating he applied to our garage floor about 3 months ago. First he sealed the floor, then we waited a day, next he applied the chip flake color in beige which came out really nice in a medium sprinkle. If you find a scuff mark, you just wipe it clean.

Would like to know what type of tile you used and if there tire marks or loose
tiles. Also what was the preparation you did? It does look good.

He did the floor of our 3 car garage and our attic stairs. Floor is easy to clean and is not slippery. Highly recommend him.

Hot Florida sun that hits your driveway will fade your stain over time even if you seal it every year. At least that was my experience. Garage floor is under roof and so is the lanai so stain will probably last longer than most of us will live and looks nice. Pavers will also have to be sealed every year to hold up. My personal thoughts----its a driveway and its a garage floor. We do "kind of sort of" live at times on our lanai.

Tim Miller did our garage last year with epoxy. We love the look and have not had any problems at all. We use the garage for setting up tables with food/drinks during driveway parties.
