Epoxy Garage floor contractors
 

I have reviewed the info under contractors and there is not much listed. I know there are people out there who put epoxy garage floor coatings down but I can't find any. Can all of you great people help me out with names of companies or individuals who do this? I want a really good epoxy that will last more than a couple of years and I am willing to pay for a high quality epoxy coating because I only want to do this once. Thanks all for your help.

We used Tim Miller for our garage. Honest, reasonable, on time, and did excellent work. I'll PM you his number.

Ditto for Tim Miller

Thanks all, and especially champion6. I was looking for some variety and everyone kept telling me Tim Miller. Thanks again

Custom Ram Design does excellent work. They do the fantastic driveways with the unique designs and also do epoxy garage floors. They did both for me and I highly recommend them.

I as well had Tim Miller paint my garage floor at my new house in Buttonwood before we moved in. Did a great job! Three car garage $700.00.

One more vote for Tim "the Toolman" Miller.

For all you who say they have done this
 

Does anyone know if a painted drive or garage makes it slippier when wet. I got out of the car on a drive that was painted and seemed to slip a bit.:yuck:

Good question. And how about the puddles? Concrete absorbs water but paint stops absorbing?

Epoxy paint makes a very smooth finish, it will be slippery. I painted our current garage while the house was being built right before we moved in. It is a two step process: First you have to etch the concrete with a special etcher solution then wait several days without touching floor, then mix the two cans of epoxy paint and paint the floor. Like epoxy cement you mix the hardener in right when you are going to use it. Then let it get good and dry.

Are there any paint stores down there?

Try TCM Florida otherwise known as The Coating Masters. I have seen their article in the Village Magazine. It says they have a lifetime warranty. The number is 352-512-0826.

What is a lifetime warranty, really?

Is it MY lifetime, THEIR lifetime or my HOMES lifetime ???

Next time you buy something with a lifetime warranty, ask them.

Just one of life's little questions ????

This Telephone Number is no longer in service.

No paint stores...we just mix mud and grass :a20:

garage floor
 

Artistacrete did mine. It is excellent and nothing mars the finish. I wish I had the work done years ago.

The painted surface will get slick when wet. Our garage floor was painted by the previous owner so I can't tell you who did it. But apparently they mixed some sand into the finish coat to put a roughness on the the surface. It works, no slipping as compared to a neighbor's which is smooth and dangerous when wet.

I have a dumb question. My parents once owned a house in Michigan that had a fantastic garage floor. You could clean it with a garden hose. The previous owner's ex-son-in-law was part of a racing team and we were told it was the type of flooring racing teams use. Mom and I have tried to figure out what type of floor it was for years! We even asked the previous owner. Could it be an epoxy floor? The flooring was smooth, dark green but it didn't have any specks in it. Its not the speckled flooring. My aunt has the speckled flooring in her garage and it has peeled and had to to be redone a few times.

I'm really curious because I would love to put that flooring in my new TV home.

Great job by Tim The Tool Man
 

Tim The Tool Man did ours last week. Great job! Highly recommend him.

Another vote for Tim the Tool Man. Very pleased with his work. He is licensed & insured and gives free estimates. 352-217-0561

I highly recommend Superior Concrete Design. Woody is absolutely fabulous, meticulous, honest. We just can't say enough about him. Feel free to PM me and you can see his work for yourself in my garage. Woody's number is 352-454-4002.

I called Tim Miller for an estimate, that was, let's see, a little better than 2 years ago and I'm still waiting for a response. After the 2nd attempt to contact him gave me the same results I hired Cost Less.
They did a decent job but they pretty much show up when they want, regardless of the agreed upon time. Still, over 2 years later I still have no complaint about their work, just their inability to read a calendar or tell time. The price was excellent though.

Also recommend Superior Concrete Design by Woody. I wanted the clear top coat to also be two-part epoxy (instead of acrylic). I couldn't find anyone else who does that. The finished product looks gorgeous, and should outlast any of the other finishes.

Woody just finished our lanai, driveway and garage and I couldn't be happier. He really had to battle all the rain lately but he took his time and waited out the weather to insure a good job. Can't afford any slippage as I have hip replacements and I've had no problem. Based on our latest weather I've had plenty of chances to try the slippage factor out :a20:

Please explain
 

I don't understand. What is the reason your are painting your garage floor? What is epoxy? It is just a garage isn't it.

Lots of questions about slippage. I did my garage floor in Ohio about six years ago. After the paint has cured, you then put on a coat of clear epoxy in which you mix some fine silica sand. You then have a transparent coating with a grit to it and it greatly reduces the slipperyness. this coat should be done redone every two years in high traffic areas because it will wear off. Recoat it less frequently if there isn't much traffic.

There is also a non slip top coat made, that has no sand or grit.

Being from NJ I also wondered why people were painting these areas. Then I started to see many of the driveways painted and really enjoyed the beauty aspect that it created. We matched our painted lanai design with our kitchen tile layout and had the garage floor done with an epoxy finish with flecks in it. We also had the driveway and walkway painted and flecked adding striping to outline and a compass in the middle. We are very pleased with the outcome. So I guess we must have sipped the nectar.;)

Call Steve Kling of Kling Painting. He did a fabulous job on our garage floor.

Check out a company called Stardek.. We used this in Georgia and plan to use again in TV. The installer's name we were given by Stardek is Paul Hendley, Hendley's custom Crete, 352-476-6781. Our floor in Georgia is not an epoxy, looks great and is not slippery.

Interesting, we called Tim Miller and not only got a call back, but the floor was done within a week. GREAT JOB I might add. Of course this was in July of this year so don't know what was going on two years ago. His number is 352-217-0561. PM me if you want to see it.

Tim Miller did mine too. It looks fabulous. :clap2:

New to TV

We used Steve Kling for not only our garage floor, but for the entire interior, exterior of our home -- great job and good prices!! Just had him back again yesterday to paint our trayed ceiling -- looks awesome!!

Don't use Home Services, Inc. They were prompt in giving us an estimate and doing the work. However, we had some spots that needed touchups within the first year (we were not here over the summer), and we made many attempts to contact Jasper, the person who gave us the estimate. He is great for assurances he will "check it out" and redo it, but six months later and several phone calls, we haven't seen him. I would NOT recommend his service.

Did anyone ever use The Villages Epoxy Floor Services ?

Ditto regarding Custom Ram Design. They did our drive and epoxied our garage. Excellent work!

I'm a tim miller fan too
