After doing my own floor, I'd pay $2/square foot all day long!

My front garage was pretty pitted and they did it. They said they could fill it with some sort of hardening epoxy stuff, let it dry for a day and come out the next day, grind it down and you'd never know it was pitted. I told them that I am going to just park my cars in there and it wasn't necessary to do that. They poured the stuff on pretty thick and it filled the small pits pretty well and it looks very nice now, so I am happy. I think it was going to be $3 a foot instead of $2.
I just washed the walls and floor so it is ready for the painters...
I had to take the compressor apart so I could move it easily....I am going to have the painters help me move my sandblaster, compressor and wash tank outside when they get here....

That's pretty crazy, I didn't know that was an option. That might be a plan changer. I was pricing out Racedeck but I'd rather have epoxy.
I'm interested to see the finished product when they're completed
$3 per square foot is far cheaper than race deck. However, if you ever decided to move you could take the floor with you.

True, and the other benefit is being able to replace sections of floor if you ruin part of it for whatever reason. Im not sure if Racedeck helps with cold floors in the winter or not but that could be another benefit. I just finished insulating and drywalling my garage (still need to mud and paint)
The red epoxy has lasted nearly 25 years and I've spilled everything on this floor (including brake fluid) and nothing really affected it very much. While it isn't as shiny as it once was, it is certainly easy to sweep anything up or pick up spilled oil from it and not leave a stain. I painted the underside of my car and actually painted a car in the garage and all of the overspray comes right up. The paint that doesn't come off right away will wear off long before the epoxy does....
Just my .02....grr
Well, the floor guy flaked out on painting the walls - Even though I sent pictures and he said he would do it, when he saw it in person, he said he couldn't do it. Someone else is coming out to paint it in a couple of days..
Anyway, he did do a very nice job on the floor....When I built the addition, the contractor did a real crappy job on the cement and there were a lot of ridges in the cement from some plastic swinging in the wind after he finished. This guy ground everything pretty flat and smooth and it looks good now.
The garage is 24x30 and the cost was $1250

Damn that looks great Gary!
Why couldn't he do the walls though?
