Hi Christine. I did actually call some days back but you were out of office for the holiday weekend and just havent gotten back to calling. I will give you a ring either today or tomorrow to see what my options are. Thanks very much. James

Thanks for all the input guys this is all very informative stuff. My last question to you guys that know all about this stuff. If someday I decided I want to add another coat to my garage, will I need to do anything to the floor or simply apply another coat? I went over my entire floor and cut...

The 1st half of the garage I did before noon probably between 10 and 11. The second half I did in the evening starting at 6pm. Both days were pretty hot outside, but the concrete was as dry as can be as far as I can tell. I let it dry over night with a fan going the entire time. Im not saying...

Well the garage is done. Besides the bubbles im happy with the results. The second half of the garage bubbled as well, but not as badly. I dont understand how they expect you to eliminate the chances of bubbles because on the second half I waited forever to spread the flakes to ensure that it...

Im about to finish the remaining half of my 3 car this afternoon. I did all the concrete prep work this morning so we will see how it goes. I should have a little left over epoxy so im going to experiment with it and see what I can do with the "craters" on the other half of the garage. I will...

Its a hot/cold vertical/horizontal hydrant made by Prier. It actually did not come with the house as this house just had one in the back and front side. I loved them in the garage so my dad installed this one. Here is the link...

So I started the Epoxy-Coat yesterday by cleaning the concrete exactly as stated in the intructions. My slab was only 3.5 months old on my new construction home. The process went very smoothly until I started seeing bubbles pop up everywhere. By the time the bubbles started showing up the flakes...

Well im about ready to go pick up 2 kits to do my 3 car garage. A lowes store within 45 minutes stocks the taupe kits. Only thing is im super confused on pricing. So they have a 3 gallon kit listed at $340 and then 3 gallon kits listed at $194. Both say they cover exactly the same coverage and...

Thanks and not sure if you forgot to list which locations carry it near me or you were going to post it later. The Lowes closest to my house did not have it and never heard of the product. There are Lowes stores everywhere around here though so maybe another one has it?

Whats the availability of this stuff in the Chicagoland area? More specifically the western suburbs near Naperville, Bolingbrook, Plainfield etc etc (60585). I went through several pages and was surprised to see no one asked about the Chicago area. I have a new construction home with a 3 car...

Thanks for the information guys that certainly helps. Now I know what general price range I need to be in for a 3 car garage. I just measured my floor and it looks like my garage is slightly smaller than yours its about 30' wide and 21.5' deep. One good thing that I like that my home builder did...

I used that exact kit at my previous house and it held up pretty good for the two years that I lived there then moved. I also did the clear coat which IMO is a must. Only drawback is it did eventually start to yellow near the outside since it was exposed to sunlight. Besides that and the fact...

I recently purchased a new construction home with a typical 3 car garage. The concrete slabs are about 2 months old so they are basically brand new so little to no concrete prep would be required. With that in mind can anyone help me out on what would be a reasonable price to have my floor...

Yeah I know what you mean, but I bought my townhouse new as well and the concrete was just fine through all that. Any paint or spackle that got on the floor was easy to get up, plus I dont think I could epoxy that floor for a while anyway since its brand new, and winter time anyway. Either way...

First off would like to introduce myself im James from the Chicago suburbs. My wife and I purchased a new construction home that will be nearing completion in about a month and a half. I did a few things in my current two car garage in our townhouse such as epoxy floor and painted the walls. The...
