Garage floor coatings?
 

Who did you use, and why. I’ve received two quotes, one for $2500 one for $3500. It’s an oversized 3 car. Thanks

Whatever you do make sure the final coat has a nonslip finish, or you may end up with a very slippery surface when it is wet.

I used Tim Miller to epoxy my garage floor. It looks great and it has a specled finish so no slipping. If you would like to come and see it, message me. 352 217-0561

Thanks for the offer. I have talked to him and have seen his work, we have a friend who used Tim. Just curious if there were others.

Are you doing Epoxy or Polysparatic?

Did it myself. Epoxy base with polyurethane top coat and shark grip. $600 for top quality materials and 2 days time for a 2 car extended garage. It took 2 days only because I had nowhere to move all of my stuff... so I did half at a time.

Still looks great 4 years later! One thing to watch - once you put a covering on, the floor is sealed. So when you drive your car or cart in from a rainstorm, the water does not soak into the concrete as it did before, and puddles stay for days. I usually squeegee them out of the garage.

Epoxy, we have used it a couple times before and were satisfied. I don’t want to spend $3500 on a floor coating.

What products did you use and where did you purchase them? I plan on doing mine soon.

Very good advice. I took a hell of a fall on the slick epoxy. Any suggestions on how to correct to a nonskid repair?

Go to Sherwin Williams and ask if they sell a clear sealer suitable to go over epoxy, then get shark grip or equal friction additive, and follow directions for cleaning the floor and applying the new coating. You can check with other paint stores also, but I have had very good luck with S-W.

Originalcolorchips.com. Not cheap but an excellent product that I've used twice with fantastic results

What tools and products did you need to use when you were starting with a new home?
 

What tools and products did you need to use to epoxy your garage floor. I have been looking at DIY videos and most of their time is spent trying to get horrible floors to look new. So I would welcome if anyone can share the step-by-step and the products and tools that you used for each step to see if it is something that I can consider doing.

Thank you

Tim is doing mine next week.

We used Decorative Concrete Kings (Cody McElroy) for ours. He does fantastic work at a fair price. Epoxy coating in any color, with color chips that offer plenty of "bite." We have an oversize 3-car garage, and it was $1800.00 close to two years ago. May well have gone up since then, but it may be worth checking with him.

My brother in law did garage floors as a side hustle. Mine is gray with the flecks, the flooring at his village home is tan with flecks. Both look beautiful. I get compliments on mine.

update: sorry just spoke with my sister who mentioned he's not doing garage floors anymore so I deleted the pricing I paid and stuff. A lot of hard work and he has little free time, she said, so he's pretty much done doing them.

Tim finished mine on Wednesday, looks great very pleased.

Can I get your brothers contact info?

Thanks

We used black and white peel and stick tiles, easy peezee

FYI to readers of this thread, I pm-replied crztac about this and unfortunately bro-in-law not doing these anymore. Sorry for the lead, as soon as I found out I updated my post.

The last time is used peel and stick tiles on concrete, they shrank over a few years and had to be removed. Will never use peel and stick again.

Anyone have a business card for Tim Miller? Is he a handyman or does he work for a garage flooring company? I'm probably going to call for an estimate. @ohioshooter Do you have a photo of the work he did you're willing to post? Thanks.

We used Steve Kling, and we’re very pleased with the results.

I used race deck squares $3 a sq ft.. took about 3 hrs to install looks great and works fine.

352-217-0561 Tim Miller is the owner. He’s usually booked months out so get on his schedule asap.

This is the only picture I have handy.

Sorry for the late reply. I don’t have any pictures before I loaded it with stuff. I just took this. Very pleased with his work.

Thanks for the photos. Both floors look great!

Could I have Tim Miller’s number?

See post 25.

i put 880 sq ft of race deck flooring down took 15hrs, looks great, non skid, no issue with oil of gas on the floor, easy clean up, looks great.. used 2 colors red and metalic.. total cost 2100$.
