I have a new construction home with a three car garage that I want to get a protective flooring on before I move in. I have been getting quotes from various local companies and all the quotes are coming in at $4-5K. It's a standard three car garage with brand new concrete, minimal prep work would be required. I understand that pretty much everything is expensive these days, but these prices feel like a ripoff.
I've been looking into the various kits available at home improvement stores, and even if I went with the most expensive one they offer, it's still 25% of these prices. I'm a fairly competent painter and stainer, so I am pretty sure I can knock this out myself in a weekend. Right now I'm looking at two of the Gorilla kits, roughly $400 each. Including prep, shoe spikes, rollers, brushes, buckets, I'd be under $1K all in.
For those of you that have done this yourself, what are your wins and / or regrets? Do you wish you had done more prep? Do you think one kit's materials was better or worse than another? Do you regret your color choice? #home
