Epoxy Pros:
- Cheap Not true, for the good stuff. Maybe relatively but dont bother with 20 dollar epoxies
- Easy to clean
- Looks nice if properly applied
Epoxy Cons:
- Must recoat every few years Not true, read my comment above
- Garage must be completely empty to coat (including cabinets, storage bins etc.)
- Damage to the epoxy means total recoat To look perfect yes, but it can be repaired
- Must prep the garage floor before application, which uses acids and takes several hours, often a day or so worth of prep Sometimes true, depending on situations, but if you need to yes, and prep is crucial
Other things to consider is moisture, if you have ANY moisture coming from under the floor it will pop off an epoxy. We have a lot of these problems in this area of the world, so also something to consider
Easy test, get some plastic dropcloth stuff, duct tape all 4 edges down on the floor, dont leave any cracks, leave it for a day minumum, couple days best idea, if you see ANY moisture under there, youre looking at problems using an epoxy
