Garage Floor Paint
 

We're finally downsizing- the good news is that it's a wonderful condo in a nice community called Fire Rock in Fountain Hills, AZ- just east of Scottsdale.

The bad news is I go from a finished, air conditioned 4 car garage to a normal 2 car unfinished garage.

I would appreciate any recommendations for a professional epoxy finished floor and garage storage cabinets/shelving.

Thanks

Before I give you advice, keep in mind I have been building medical facilities for over 10 years. I have seen epoxy go bad quickly. It scratches easily and doesn't hold up well with jackstands, etc. It also can separate from the concrete and peel, which becomes a total nightmare to repair. I thought about polishing the concrete, but it still absorbs oils, etc. I settled on a high coefficient surface Italian ceramic tile. The problem with ceramic tile is the grout.....unless you get EPOXY grout, which is pretty much impossible to stain. You're looking at $8.00/sq. ft. to install it, plus the cost of the tile. My floor is 2 years old and looks like brand new.
If you have the means, I HIGHLY recommend it. I have dumped oil, brake fluids, all kinds of chemicals on it and the white grout is still white. Everything wipes right up. Oh, and by the way it looks killer.

There should be several professional companies in your area to bid your job. Prep is the key to a good long lasting floor. Ask for references and actually talk to the people that have had their floor finished by the respective company. Usually a turn-key job will cost about $6.50 a square foot or so just an FYI point. You can do it yourself like many of us here have done it is about $150 a square foot but if you happen to mess it up then you have a real issue to deal with. There are numerous videos on YouTube on how to do it which is not hard it just takes time to do the prep correctly and apply the coatings in the correct sequence.
