Last year I was looking into this. I had a professional service (with a
TON of great recommendations, some from people I know well.) Give me a
price.
I was only going to do half of my garage, so the total surface they would
do was 25X 50'.
Any color, add in, or 'effect' that I wanted. 2 day project. They would
fix all cracks and low spots and prep day one. Then finish day 2. I
forgot how long the cure time was, but it wasn't a big deal (maybe a day
or three.)
Total price was $6000. I didn't think that was too bad. Note, they will
come back and fix any issues (chips and such) for free for a year or so
after.
I'm still considering it. Now that you sparked this discussion, I'll see
what the wisdom here has to say.

Subject: [Shop-talk] Garage Floor Treatment
Sent by: "Shop-talk" <shop-talk-bounces@autox.team.net>
Good morning, all! I'm looking into coating my garage floor in some
fashion. The garage is about 15 years old, and I'm tired of stirring up
dust every time I touch the floor with a broom.
The floor has some minor cracks, a couple of gouges (thanks, framing
crew!), and a bit of oil staining, but it's generally in good shape,
except for the dust.
My original plan was to pay (lots of, probably) good money to have a
professional service grind the surface and apply a proper epoxy product to
the floor. But yesterday, a friend mentioned solvent-based sealers
(specifically xylene). He said I could apply it myself with proper PPE
and occupy the space the next day.
So, what's the current real-world opinion on garage floors? Anyone who
can relate what worked for them in the savage environment we revel in as
shop talkers?
TIA, Jeff..._______________________________________________
