Yeah, that's a great deal! 400+sq/ft for 2500 bucks!!!

A more realistic price is $25k!(I think you left off a ZERO) And anybody who has money to burn for "granite floors" in a GARAGE- more power to them!

I'm guessing it's 1/16" thick over concrete. Money well wasted.

Did you get this offer from some guy ringing your doorbell by chance?

Motor oil, tranny fluid and antifreeze on granite. A perfect scenario.

Take that money and play the lottery instead, you'll have better results.

I made a mistake and I apologize. It isn't granite it is epoxy coating and I see another thread on that so I will get info there. Thanks for pointing out to this naive girl that she was completely off base. Thanks again.

We tried it and covered it with Gladiator tiles. Those we took up when we moved, bought more and have a very clean garage.
You are not likely to get the dealer show room quality epoxy for 2500$.

I'm guessing most everyone here knew what you meant and were being intentionally obtuse/yanking your chain a bit.

Personally, I just can't see blowing $2500 on garage flooring. We put down Epoxy-Coat last year. Cost about $500 to do our oversized three car garage. You need to prep REALLY well and have two people work together to get it down, but it has held up great.
