If you want to roll it yourself, Lowes has a great one step epoxy for about 35 bucks. You can save a TON on money

I will say it again. If you want an average paint job for your floor Tim Miller does a great job. It's the the epoxy paint you and I can buy at Home Depot. It's great for the average home owner. My neighbor had his done by him after he saw mine. His still looks great. He not rough on his garage. He does great work. But, if your rough on your floor like I am (heavy pickup, always out in my garage working on golf cart etc.) I'm saying spend the extra money. My floor doesn't look like it did when he did it five years ago. It needs to be redone. I'm not saying he did a bad job. Just saying you get what you pay for.

Another vote for Tim Miller he is a great person, and does an outstanding job !
There are four brand new homes on our street that have used him and they are all very happy.:wave:

My estimate is about $250 for materials for my garage: the cost of the epoxy and clear coat.

I have a 24x24 garage here in Ohio that I redo every other year. The first year I rolled the one step epoxy on it took 2 gallons and ever since then I only need one gallon to cover the floor. I never need to clear coat. I pressure wash it, and roll it on. No fancy design, just a good looking floor that you can wipe things off( oil, grease, whatever) very easily.

If this stuff costs that much down there I'll just bring a couple of gallons with me when I return in late Sept

That was my estimate for the Sherwin Williams product plus clear coat for a 3-car garage. I don't need to redo it every other year.

How long did they say the product would last?

Another vote for Tim Miller (aka Tim the Toolman). Great garage floor.

Also, Tim's son-in-law, Michael Wright, painted my front porch area (cement). I will ask Michael to paint my back patio when I decide what I want to do in that area. Very reasonable price and excellent job - looks better and easier to keep clean.

Our pre-owned home has a Textured drive and sidewalk. garage and lanai epoxy done, in 2010 by Artisticret. They are an honest company and told us the garage and our lanai did not need any top coat, just the drive and sidewalk. So it's been six years since the original garage was done and still looks brand-new.

One more vote for Tim Miller.

A thought about that 5-year-old floor that now needs to be re-done: When Tim did our floor 2 years ago, he applied a commercial clear coat over the epoxy paint. He said that the clear coat was a relatively new step for him and "fixed problems some have with longevity" with some of his floor projects.

I don't know if that's why jchase experienced an 'average' result from Tim. Might be worth asking Tim directly.

Our floor is perfect after 2 years and I'm a car guy that's always working in the garage.

Depending on why your doing the garage floor, G-Floor mats are also an easy alternative.
