I got a rough price from 2 epoxy companies $2600-$3700. The reason I would consider Swisstrax over the others is they are a customer of mine. Just not sure with winter slop if tiles are a good fit.

The flooring doesn't have any cracks. However there are some stains in the floor from oil and such.

Have a 10 year old 30x24 garage with 2 daily drivers on 1 side and a 4 post lift with a 1970 Camaro on the 3rd bay. I would like to get some opinions on which flooring would be better. By 2 suvs bring in lots of snow and salt in the winter so I would need a draining tile like Ribtrax. Wondering...

Attached is a view from downstairs house to shed. I could mount something outside...but would rather avoid doing so if at all possible. Really looking to have wifi for tablets for streaming video or general browsing. 4k....hmmm...maybe in the future. The only hardline to the shed is what the...

Looking for a way to pickup the wifi signal from my new detached garage which is almost 200' from the house. I trenched Electric but no Lan cables to the shed. Any advise is welcome.

In my new detached garage I have a full loft over garage bay. I want to insulate the 2x10 ceiling above garage stall and below loft storage space. unfaced or faced. The ceiling above the loft will be faced insulation. Thanks for advice.

Is there a preference for silicone or elastomeric caulk?

Getting ready to insulate a new detatched 20x20 garage with a full loft. This may be heated in future. Has a hobby room. 2x4 walls. I am getting quotes on insulation but it looks like it's going to be significantly cheaper to install batts myself. From what I understand I should silicone or...

Permit just approved for 20x20 detached garage/shed. I am looking for an Electric Heater (don't want to run gas line 200+ feet across backyard across septic field) that I can have a separate thermostat. I will insulate it. It's a floating slab. I am not sure how often I will need the heat...so I...

I am 50 SW of Chicago...so it gets cold. The slab will be insulated with 2" foam. Although it's 20x20, 10x5 of it is partioned off as a separate room for my wife's stuff. So that leaves me with a 10' w x 20' L area that opens up to the back 10' x 5' area. Primary reason for shed is to get the...

Having a 20x20 detatched garage built about 200' from my house. Was considering having the pex put into my slab so I could add a electric water heater at a later time if I feel the need. However, I found a Fahrenheat 5000 watt electric heater for $250 with good reviews. Seems like the electric...

I am researching how I can build a detatched shed/garage approx 20x20 without increasing my taxes. I have to at least have a floating slab. The tax man said as long as the building is not attached to the foundation/slab, you will not be taxed on it. Can the building be constructed with a single...
