Default Garage floor painting

I want to have my garage floor sealed/ paint coated. My understanding is the best material is polyaspartic floor.
Looking for company that does this service to get estimates. Anyone have recommendations or conflicts?

Make sure the final coat has slip resistant finish, like spark grip. Finished concrete can be very slippery when wet.

We used Liquid Floors USA's "Full Flake System" (liquidfloorsusacfl.com) back in September 2019. Today, the floor looks the same as it did 5 years ago - no stains, wear spots or materials sloughing off. While I believe it's the same company, process and materials, the ownership has changed.

I used Innovative Concrete Coatings for my polyurea/polyaspartic floor coating. They did a satisfactory job. Note that polyurea/polyaspartic will cost more than epoxy (almost double) but you probably already know that.

I’m sure your research has yielded the best possible coating material.

But standard epoxy paint with or without flakes is also really good.

Top notch service. Vincent (owner) was very knowledgeable and easy to deal with. He knows his stuff.

Perfect solution, if you want to redo the floor every couple of years.

I recently had B & D Concrete Creations seal my garage and driveway. Very happy with the results. Contact Romaldo Mayhuire at 352-455-9614.

WRONG! Mine was epoxy painted in 2005 and still looks the same nearly 20 years later.

If you plan to work in your garage for hobbies, etc., consider a solid color floor. The flakes are nice to look at but if you drop small hardware on the floor, it can make it difficult to locate. I love my 'hangar' floor. Go with a white to brighten and reflect light, or a light gray.

Another vote for Romaldo and B&D Creations. Most reasonable and did great work for us!
