Well, I just had my floor done with Epoxy Coat. The results came out great. I couldn't be more happy with it, after doing a great deal of research here on the forums to figure out the best way to go. Christine was a huge help getting everything I needed nailed down - and Dave (the installer) who came and did the work was top-notch as well.
The process included prepping the floor with the grinder the first day, and then priming, crack-filling/sealing, followed by a grey epoxy with black/scone flakes. Dave wanted to ensure bubbling didn't occur after the primer, so he was going to come back out that night to sand if needed, but fortunately with my concrete, that wasn't an issue.
I have a motorcycle lift table going in the garage and Dave was great, matching the epoxy color exactly to the color of the lift-table. Finally after the epoxy had about 24 hours to set, he applied a clear-coat with a fine anti-slip, which you can see in the latter photos. I plan to wait a good 2-3 days before rolling anything on it, and probably a week at minimum before getting a car on there (if I even let cars on it now.
).
I had done epoxy at my previous house myself and while it didn't come out bad, it didn't come out great either. To me it was worth having it done right and I'm really happy with the results.
Thanks again to Epoxy Coat for their great work. As an added bonus, I have a nice little box/kit with spare epoxy and tools if I need to do touch ups in the future. All the good reviews I had read here on the forum held true and I would certainly recommend Epoxy Coat to others in the future.
Note, excuse the photo quality as these were taken with my phone without great lighting.
