THE HONEST VERDICT

If you own the house, epoxy is the permanent answer: bonded, sealed, no shifting edges and no trapped grit grinding your slab.

GOOD TO KNOW

Are garage tiles cheaper than epoxy?
Up front, usually. Over ten years the gap closes fast because tiles shift, stain and get replaced while a properly prepped coating gets a recoat.
Can I put epoxy down after removing tiles?
Yes. We grind off whatever the tiles left behind, patch the slab and pour.
