If you don't do any work on your garage epoxy is great looking. But drag one floor Jack or Jack stands it can ruin it.
I bought and installed these plastic snap in tiles. Two car garage with entry edging shipping was 1,000. Took me about 6-7 hrs to install it. Best thing is I can take it with me when I leave.
Anyone do this? Thoughts. 2 car garage for $2500. Good deal?
Absolutely. We have the best granite in our garage, but it costs a lot more than that. I think you left a "0" out. We also have granite sidewalks, granite siding, granite roof shingles, and a tool shed built of carved granite. We went with unpolished for the toolshed for a rustic look, but I'm regretting it now.
I had a new home done in epoxy, didn't hold up well at all. Park a car over night and the tires pulled the epoxy up when you backed out. Had it redone under warrantee and it didn't hold up much better. The guy didn't answer the phone anymore after the second do over.
Had our commercial garage done, brought out a huge professional sander to make sure the floor was perfect before applying the epoxy. Better, but the areas where the vehicles were worked on took it tough. I would never do it again, get snap together rubber blocks

Absolutely! Our oldest tiles are 12 years old. Pressure washer works wonders.

I'd say the problem is the install. We are in Las Vegas and our tires get HOT. No problems with the epoxy at all.
A house I owned back in 1999 had epoxy floors. It didn't last 5 years with my use of the garage. Meh, call me old school- I like plain concrete. It's not that bad to keep clean, and when I'm working on a car or tractor I just slide a piece of cardboard under the machine. I don't have to worry about scuffing it, repainting it- just hose it out and hit it with a shop broom.
The man who installed ours told me that epoxy won't last over five years if you don't take care of it. Every three years have them come back and clean it then recoat it. If you do that it will last indefinitely.
