I saw a local guy advertise his services to cover my garage floor with Epoxy, and add in the color chips, at $4 per square feet. Mine is a standard 2 car garage, so approximately 400 sq ft, which means $1600.
He says he'll take just one day to do this from start to finish.
My garage has a concrete floors that I painted many years ago, and while functional, doesn't look fancy. Of course I don't need fancy, but I can see my wife giving it the side-eye. And the epoxy floor pictures look rather nice.
So my question is - for a garage where cars are rarely parked (only when a big hurricane hits us) and which is primarily used for woodworking, and has a TS, a BS, and all sorts or other tools to store and use, is an epoxy floor any way good? Or bad? I am concerned about the possibility of slippery-ness, but I will ask him if he can make it as rough as possible. He also promises a 15-year guarantee, but not sure how that works.
I have - in the past - considered doing epoxy myself, but was daunted by the work involved - prep and actual, and also all the warnings about the fumes and all. Not sure how much cheaper a DIY would be.
