Mind telling me what you paid to have this done? My garage floor needs a new coat and I'm considering having it done this summer. Looks great by the way, but where's the car in the "after" photo?

The downside right now is that I have to wait 48 hours before I can put the cars back in the garage.

It cost $4.50 per sq.ft., which I didn't think was too bad of a price considering I didn't have to do any work. The downside right now is that I have to wait 48 hours before I can put the cars back in the garage.

I assume they clean all the old grease spots and get the floor in good condition before painting...or is that something you had to do?

Late the next day they returned and swept away the residual paint chips, and then laid down a final coat of clear poly. They sprinkled sand on the poly coat as they went along to give it a rough surface. Done.
I am able to walk in the surface just 16 hours later, but I need to keep the cars off of it for at least 48 hours ... the longer the better they told me (up to 4 days).
Here's a couple of more pics during the process...

Wow! That's good stuff. And all for $4.50 a square foot. I'm going to use these pix for when I have estimates done this summer on my garage. Thanks!
PS - No Zaino for the 3rd and final coat? You're practically Sal Zaino's brother!
