Garage Floor Epoxy

January 30th, 2009

So…. after seeing quite a few garage floor epoxy jobs I can tell  a good one from a bad one right away….There are a few factors that you want to look at in the epoxy world….

  1. Is my floor epoxy gonna flake off 3 days after I install it….?
  2. should I pay a professional to epoxy my garage floor…?
  3. I can get that stuff at Home depot for likme 50 bucks right?
  4. Do I need this stuff?

Ok heres the long and short of it, If you are going to epoxy your garage floor, never, ever use one of those cheap lowes or homedepot do it your self products…. I told that to a customer one day… And he replied, “No this stuff is great it was like 50 Bucks”… The funny part is when I came back to do some work on his house like 1 month later all of the floor epoxy was peeling in his garage….             

So what then can you do, ok  real garage floor epoxy is great for a finished modern look if and only if you get a great epoxy product. If you get a professional to aplly the epoxy it should cost about 1200 -1400 bucks for a solid multi coated floor, a real nice job that comes with warranty and will look great for years… Expensive you say?, one contractor told me that the product with all of the flakes, was about $700. to do a two car garage, so a reputable contractor makes about 100% mark up on the epoxy product…. But let me tell you,  Your garage will look stellar when it is done.
