When I was 16 years old, I never envisioned I'd be so amazed at a garage floor, nothing like turning into your dad. Nice job

I have no interest in doing this to my garage, but somehow I watched the full 15 min video. Very well done dude!

PRO TIP - do the moisture test BEFORE emptying your garage

I put mine up to the driveway like you did and that was 16 years ago and it still looks great! The sun hits from morning until about 5 in the evening. It never faded and has always been an easy wash-off to keep it looking new.

Thank you from all the do it all DIY mom's! I have been rehabbing our barns and home while my husband works and I pick a project a week. This video was so concise and informative. Left me both educated and excited!

So many useful tips in this video to learn from. Loved the ida of putting tape on the roller before the clear coat. KZfaq is the best teacher out there. Thanks man.

I use to spend hours looking at dj related videos and now all I watch is home improvement content. Great video!

Started our 400 SQ FT garage space yesterday based on your tips. Just finished repairs, degreasing and etching - ready to paint & chip tomorrow!

Thanks for the video. I did this with my last house 20 years ago and I forgot all the steps. Back then it came pre mixed in paint cans , not in bag A & B. I also forgot just how much energy prepping the floor took out of me. Again, thanks for the reassuring video 👍🏼

i honestly have no idea why i'm watching this or why it was in my recommended. i live in a one bedroom apartment

You have achieved your goal, it is a professional look !!! You did an exceptionally tedious preparation job, your floor looks INSPIRING and it was a useful learning curve for us. We are going to take all the steps we have learned from you, to get a good result on our old garage floor... THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO !!!!

Your video took a ton of the guesswork out of this for me. I just finished mine today looks so sweet

Excellent instructions. Did this a few years ago and it's held up phenomenally well. The prep is 100% where the difference is made.

I think we all would love to see everything put back in your garage as an after picture.. and how great things are as far as sweeping, I imagine lighting is a lot better too with light being able to reflect off the ground instead of the cement absorbing it all.

It came out great Brent. I went through this many years ago and it still looks good 30 years later. I put cheap carpet runners down at the work benches to protect from things being dropped off the benches.

I am currently at the cleaning/etching stage. This video gave me hope to carry on! Why? What you said at the end... I work in my garage all the time, and I want it to feel like an extension of my house! (I spent a month on nextdoor giving away junk), so I could do this all in one fell swoop. Thanks for the encouragement!

Thank you for this, I will be doing it to my garage soon, this was extremely helpful!

Wow, What an amazing finish look. This has truly encouraged me to do this right away. I was debating garage tiles vs. epoxy. However your garage transformation has certainly helped me in my decision making as well has the huge cost difference. I’ve done a lot of diy’s this year: repainting front porch, refinishing and painting deck, repainting onscreen porch and so much more. This project will be so exciting to do. Your video was amazing, detailed but brief and very exciting to watch with all of your special effects. Great video and thanks so much for revealing such an amazing DIY with an awesome professional finish. You rock!!!!

You just saved me a few hundred bucks. This video gave me the confidence I needed to do it myself!

Man, I was alittle scared to tackle this type of project, but your video really gave me the motivation to do it. Great step by step. I liked your video and subscribed. Floor looks outstanding/

You just earned a subscription my dude!! Thank you for the awesome vid! You know your stuff

Hard work but def looks worth it! Thanks bro!

When you applied the final clear coat with the roller, was this step proceeded by brush application of the floor near the walls. Great tutorial.

You took a lot of effort in the prep but seeing the finished product made it worth the while. Well done. It is the handymans version of a "makeover".

Looks fantastic, we brought a new house and the first thing we did before we moved in was got a professional to do this.... the garage looks amazing... and its so simple to clean, bucket of soapy water and your done... now parking the cars in the garage is so much better then plain concrete...

Great video. A quirky tip that i picked up when doing a job like this. If you are a stickler for even coverage of the paint chips, pick up a Hand-held Spreader used for applying grass feed or seed. Fill it up with the paint chips, and just hold it out and squeeze the trigger to get a really nice even spread!

I have all the stuff to do this to my garage. Your's looks great! I'm encouraged to do it myself after watching your video. My garage is way smaller and only 2 years old so should be a breeze. Thanks for the video

Very nice tutorial, tomorrow im going to apply the same epoxy in my garage floor, thanks a lot for the tutorial!

This looks really good Brent! I really want to do this in my garage, how is the floor holding up after almost a year?

I used Rust-Oleum Epoxy shield on my garage floor...9 years ago now and learned some lessons. One thing I learned then was that even though they are listed as the same color, the one gallon kit is actually different color shade than the two gallon kit. I had bought a one gallon kit to finish up a small area and it shows. It's not the most durable product. After 9 years it is showing significant wear and age. Outside the garage door that last six inches of slab where the sun hits the paint it has faded significantly. Where my wife's SUV parks on it it has lifted up over time from the heat of the tires (yes, the floor was properly prepped!)...couple spills and stains, lots of scratches and gouges from dragging car jacks across it...I use my garage. So I'm not planning on refinishing it with more epoxy paint. I'm planning on covering my garage floor with 18x18" format ceramic tiles in the near future (not vinyl, not plastic, not Swisstrax, ceramic!)...and really wish I had done tile back then. Ceramic tile done right is far more durable and will last the life of the house. I was doubtful until I saw it for myself. Porcelain tile of course would be stronger and more waterproof, but also wouldn't have enough texture to prevent slips when it's wet....and costs way more. The ceramic tile I'm getting works out to about $0.50 per square foot. If for some reason a tile were to break, it's relatively simple to pop it out and replace it. Anyway, I do like epoxy floors done right, and maybe the Epoxyshield isn't the best product out there to judge all epoxy floors against, but over the last nine years and the wear and tear mine has gotten...I wish I had known then what I know now, and if you're on the fence about using this product I can't honestly recommend it if you plan on owning your home longer than 10 years. I'm hoping to have my new garage tile done before this coming winter hits.

Very well short and edited instructional video! Thanks - Can't wait to get started!

I have always wanted to do this. I have a much smaller, one bay garage. I really like this. I am going to do this!

This is one of the best instructional videos I have seen on how to do home improvements like this. You have that poise of explaining your steps, outlining important pitfalls, key recommendations. I congratulate you. You should get company sponsored, if you are not already. Thank you very much.

Wow absolutely beautiful ! I like my garage organized and clean. Ive been wanting to do this for a while. I would have to move with the help of my grown son of course all our workout equipment, squat bar, plates etc.. into the driveway for at least 5 days . Correct? From sunny south Florida

I saw a friend's garage that had this done to it and it looked amazing! So out of sheer morbid curiosity, I had to Google this and came across your video. No wonder the pros charge an arm and a leg for this service.

Thank you for the thorough explanation. I have moisture on my garage floor and would have loved to have tried this adding to my divorce makeover for my house. "Controlled chaos" is my life. Thanks!!! Great job!!!

We did this project at a shop I worked at. We spent $3K on this special floor coating. We rented a concrete scraper, and a weekend crew was going to use it to remove the old paint. The scraper didn’t have the power they wanted, so they went back to the tool rental place for something more powerful. They got a concrete grinder, the grinder is more of a concrete removal tool. It put grooves in the concrete that were about 1/4 inch deep, and in a circular pattern. We came in Monday to this severely damaged floor with epoxy on it. It was long until the grooves were filled with dirt that couldn’t be removed. We went from an okay floor surface to a permanently damaged, expensive eyesore.

Cool post, only thing I want to recommend to viewers and yourself, throw the paint the chips in the air and allow them to fall like confetti. It spreads more evenly!

After watching this I feel totally empowered!!! Your video rocks I can’t wait to transform my garage into a sexy beast!!!!

You guys are killing it, thanks for the content,

yeah, my back is killing me from watching the prep work. At 62 I think I'll sub this out. Awesome job btw.

From South Africa, the song that was played when he showed the finished product is from here!! :D

This helped me so much. Thank you for posting!!

Definitely excited to do the garage

First off...great video! I had it saved in my "watch later'" folder because I really wanted to learn about applying garage epoxy for an unrelated project. You're really going places and you've done so many things right. The content is real and useful, the dialog is entertaining, you held my attention throughout, I learned that it probably is not going to work for my project lol, your cinematography is solid with well framed shots and b-roll, and you did well with lighting despite it being filmed in a garage, a catchy thumbnail, and so much more. Well Done Sir! A Job Well Done! ...A few things to consider looking into, more lights or more color correction in post production, replacing any muddled dialog during filming with voice overs in post, filming in a higher frame rate or use higher smoothing in post for cinematic shots. Thanks for the video

Amazing work! I had a question if the floor was slippery as well, I would love to know if you felt you should have used the anit-skid. Also, any damage to the floor when you moved your equipment to paint after that 24 hours?

Hello from Yorkton, Saskatchewan, Canada. Thanks for sharing your great video’s please keep them coming.

Idk how I get here, but now I'm thinking on doing this to my garage. Good job man👍👍

Nice Job! Looks awesome! If you were to do it over again, would you patch and grind prior to the clean and etch? My floor looks really similar, but I keep thinking that patch/fill the cracks, sand, and then clean n etch makes more sense. What do you say? Thanks.

So how did the garage floor hold up to the elements on those exterior 6 inches? You seem to get a good deal of sunlight into the garage too so is the inside of the garage holding up well too?

Thanks for this bro coming back to this in a few months in the spring when I attempt to do this myself

great job, looks fabulous, i will give it a go next spring, thanks for detailed how to.

Thanks for sharing! I have a couple of questions and wondering if you can help! 1) Does the clear coat finish make it more slippery? 2) Is the clear coat necessary? Are there any downsides of not using it? I like a more matte finish Thanks!

Good video, pro tip, from a pro: toss that paint chips upward and let gravity disperse them back down naturally for a more even distribution of chips. Also, epoxy doesn't contract and expand at the same rate as concrete, so in areas where you have extreme temperature change from summer to winter you may see more areas of the epoxy failing. This is why we don't do epoxy floors anymore and have moved to concrete overlays. That, and it's a more sophisticated look. Nicely done though!

This is so awesome. I hope whoever purchases your house one day appreciates all this craftsmanship.

I am sooo glad to see your happiness and success. It was a pleasure to watch and follow the whole process... you can be really proud of yourself, so do I :) I want to be a professional tiler and this video came in the flow in KZfaq... I wish you as much similar or greater success like this :) Greetings from Budapest, Hungary Edward

Great job! How's the front with the sun exposure holding up after a year? Any noticeable difference yet?

looks amazing! is the clear coat an optional step? Or is this needed to really seal and protect the floor? looks like it would be slippery

Thanks, mate for sharing, good work, and a good tutorial

You did all this work by yourself with no complaining? 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 This was hard work! Great job

Curious if you noticed any lines from having to paint your floor in two different phases. I'm thinking about doing that myself.

I love the these videos. I’ve been wanting to do this to my floor on my channel.

Thanks for the videos, I know this one will be used to help me later this year!

Looks amazing brother. I am inspired. Will be doing this to my garage soon. Thanks for a great video.

How resistant is this to scratches? I work on my car and heavy stuff around sometimes. Will it scratch this off?

Wow, that turned out beautifully! I wonder if it's slick when it gets wet? Have you tested that out yet? Nice job and excellent video! :)

Great job on the video overall 1 of the best!

Thank you for the video. Going to start on mine this weekend feel like a pro already lol

The one video I wish was recorded years ago so I could find out about the part in direct sunlight. Guess we wait!

Mann! I wish I found this video before I painted my floor. It came out great! But the section where I had to use a new bag of paint came out looking darker. Then the Concrete Crack patch they have, I can still see the outline of it. But you don’t really notice unless you stare at it.

Use a lawn seed/fertilizer broadcast spreader to dust the flake down. Learned this years ago, very even and works like a charm! I have a Scott's handheld spreader that's perfect.

Showroom gloss, I love it!

I want to do this to my garage within the next few months. After finding out how much a professional would charge I figured I could do it myself, but all the prep work has me shook😩

never in my life have I heard somebody unironically enunciate the letter "P" so hard 3:11 as one example

Very nice job and your breakdown was exceptional 👍

I'm glad to see knee protection being used , so many others think 'it's fine'. Also if you ever release an Audible book , I'll be first in line :-)

I used this product on a new garage floor. I spent an entire day prepping the floor (two car garage), then applied the finish the following day. It was chipping and peeling within a year. Never again.

I wish I heard the phrase "evenly and consistently" at least one more time.

Well done video. I'm feeling more confident that my husband and I may be able to do our garage ourselves instead of paying someone. And I love the song at the end... haven't heard that one in a long time :)

This looks great and although it might take some time it definitely saves some serious money to diy. Awesome video

Great video. I'm inspired. Single-handled like yourself, sounds like it's a four day job for roughly 1,000 sq feet for an empty room with a stained greasy floor. Your thoughts? I've always wanted to try this. Now is the time! Thanks for the encouragement.

I don't even have a private garage but I watched through the entire thing...

very nice work man both on the tutorial and the end result!

planning to do this with my new house... good luck to me. Your video really helps also with the list of your tools!

5:29 “You want to ensure proper bondage”, not the sort of advice I expected but good advice nonetheless.

why didnt he just grind the whole floor from the beginning.. all the extra times hes cleaning it doesnt make sense

such a wonderful job and the narration! Thank you.

Great job , thanks for the tutorial .

Might want to turn the sensitivity down on your microphone a tad bit. I can hear you pronouncing every letter and breathing almost like those ASMR videos.

You know you're maturing when home renovations turn you on, lol

Look great! Thanks for posting this great video.

You truly inspired me to try this on my own. Will let you know it works out for me. Thanks

I am planning doing this to my garage floor You did a great job. Your video was very entertaining.

Looks beautiful, I will do my porch without the sparkles, thank you!

thank you very much. i love your clip. very nice job. love the last second with drone landing ;-)

Whoo boyy! By the amount of work this takes... I think I can live with mine as is

Thank you so much for the video. I followed every step and that was our project for this past weekend. A company was charging me $2200 and instead I spent $280 and did it with my husband.

Outstanding! Looks great! Thank you for the video!

I would never be able to do this by myself, but it gives me a good idea of what is required should I hire someone to do it! Therefore I subscribed.

That Trane furnace install looks clean, whoever did that killed it 👌
