New Garage Floor

Our garage floor has been SO disgusting for so long. I can't believe we didn't do this years ago, especially for how easy it was. We just put Epoxy on our garage floor, it looks beautiful. No more paint, oil, and popscicle spots. I would highly recommend doing this to your garage floor. It makes it so it's really easy to squirt out and clean. Nothing can soak in and stain the cement. We got a bid to get this done professionaly and depending on the quality we chose, it was going to be anywhere from $1400-$3200. We decided to do it ourselves and it costed a total of $130.00 It might not last as long, or look perfect, but seriously it was so easy, I wouldn't mind doing it again in a couple of years if we have to. The hardest part was just taking all the stuff out of the garage.

I forgot to take a picture before
we started, but this gives you an idea of the difference it made.

These first 2 pictures were taken even after we had done an ACID wash on the floor.

Here is the finished product.
We also put the epoxy up on the side
where the cement goes up about a foot

We did this to our garage floor almost two years ago and it still looks great! We did the tan colored one. And it really was easy to do. You will absolutely love how easy it is to clean... just be careful when it's wet; my boys have slipped a few times because it gets really slippery. Looks great, good job!!

Ok, I bet it took less than 15 minutes to clean out your garage - I've seen it...

It looks really great like that and the picture makes it look huge. Good job!
