Whenever I talk to people about the beauty and convenience of epoxy garage floors one of the first questions I get is, "Is this something I could do on my own? I mean, it's kind of like painting on a garage floor, right?"
They have heard me explain the process of putting down the primer, putting down the body coat, applying the flakes, scraping the flakes, and applying the topcoat of polyurea. I'll admit, it sounds like something anyone can do, and with a couple of tries, you probably could get it right.
But my response is always this: "I have a couple of questions I want you to answer, and based on those answers, I'll tell you if you should do it yourself.
First, how valuable is your time? Holland Painting in Wichita, Kansas can do this in one day, and you can have your car in it the next. I can almost guarantee it would take you three, and you don't have the use of your garage for four.
Second, have you ever worked with epoxy or epoxy garage floor products before? If you haven't, chances are something will not be done exactly correct and it will have to be reapplied. With us you are getting experts in epoxy and epoxy garage floors so you can be sure it will be done right the first time.
And finally, do you like having the assurance of a quality company doing a quality job? Holland Painting stands behind its work, specifically its epoxy garage floors, and will do whatever it takes to make sure customers are satisfied. Who are you going to call if you have problem with your floor, if it was applied incorrectly and the tires have melted it away, or if the flakes weren't allowed to dry long enough and they are set incorrectly? With Holland Painting your Wichita epoxy garage floor needs are met and you don't have to put up with any hassle."
Usually after that they get it. They could do it themselves, but you could also paint the exterior of their house, build an addition, put in a pool, or tile their bathroom. But with that level of a project some expertise is an invaluable commodity to have, saving time, money, and hassle down the road. In all my experience with epoxy garage floor installation, I've never had someone tell our company when we are done that they wish they wouldn't have hired us because they could have done it themselves. That right there should be enough to convince you professional help is needed.
Don't be a Horror Story of the Home Improvement Project Gone Wrong.
I've talked with people that have tried to do this themselves. Some have been successful, some have not. But every time there is something they wish they would have known before, something they wish they would have done differently.
