@jonbe9 6 ай бұрын

First, I appreciate this tutorial. I am in the Northern VA area and was quoted $2500 to do polyurea with polyaspartic top coat with flake, limited lifetime warranty and one day install. This is for a two car garage, 480sf, which is about 8yo with minimal floor repair required. For the cost of my time and lack of friends that are willing to do volunteer work, it is much easier (time of frustration is a cost too) and more cost-effective to choose to pay a pro to do the work esp with lifetime warranty!

@joshuatrott193 5 ай бұрын

That's a decent price

@McNateDoggYT 5 ай бұрын

Thankyou for the input

@Diamondeyeadventures 3 ай бұрын

$2,500 isn’t a bad price for 480SF. Here in Florida most companies I’ve ran into were $7.50-$10 SF. Same limited lifetime warranty. Doesn’t cover moisture so make sure they test moisture level in the slab.

@Bonggezzie 7 ай бұрын

Hey Mitch! Awesome video! I purchased your product online to do my own garage! Question: is it necessary for me to sand down my garage if my house is a new built this month? And since I live in the PNW, will the drop of temperature this fall affect my project? Thanks so much!

@bbsquared100 9 ай бұрын

Hey Mitch, thanks for the great video. I've done the Home Depot version of this on my old garage but it didn't last long. This system seems to be the same steps ( add the sanding and sealer) so if I did the old version, I'm thinking I can do this as well. I'm have a new garage (concrete is about 5 months old) and your video gives me some confidence that I can do this DIY rather than the $4500 quote I got from a company (and that I can't afford) My space is about 600 square feet, so I'm thinking 2 kits? How much flake to I need for a medium coat? Thanks

@HoldTheLineSF 11 ай бұрын
