Default Garage floors

Looking for recommendations of contractors for garage floor coatings.
Not sure if I want to tackle this job myself.

I'd also reccomend RaceDeck - I did my 1100 sq ft garage in a few days.



Here is my full review on my install:

It really depends on the what you need and intend for the space. If you're a hard core mechanic-type who works on the cars, has four-post lifts, etc., probably the best choice is a professionally prepped and installed textured epoxy.

However, I'm more of a modder and my garage serves duty as a home gym and project area. Plus since I live in Florida, I usually pull in wet cars from the summer afternoon showers, so that's why I chose Racedeck Freeflow tiles. Functional and they look great.

Thanks to all
I like to work on cars and hope to start a project in the near future. I think I will do the epoxy since I do not want fluids to go under the tiles.

Hope to have it installed within a month or 2.

Fluid underneath could be a valid concern if you're working a lot and have spills.

I started to go the epoxy route and do it myself, but since mine had been sealed, I kept worrying about prepping it well enough (might have been going overboard).

Ended updoing the interlocking plastic tile like those above. Got them from Speedway Tile in Cleveland, Tn. Came out to a dollar and change per sq foot.

Prep was just vacuum and mop, then put down some landscape fabric. Laying the tile was a cakewalk, just snap into place.

With the epoxy just make sure they do good prep and offer a warranty. Quality work and it will be a great surface.
