Default Premier Garage vs. Life Deck Epoxy Floors

I am in the final stages up finishing my garage project and need to decide on a floor. I need to make a decision between using Premier Garage or using my professional painter who would use a new high end epoxy product made by Life Deck. Does anyone have any recent experience with either?

I had my garage floor done by Premier Garage and couldn't be happier. Great outfit.

I had Premier Garage fix the floor, paint and put up cabinets. It's been almost 2 years and zero problems. Here is a pic after it was completed. They did a great job.

+2 on Premier Garage. Unbelievable stuff. I'm Extremely happy.
Best part is cleaning it out at the end of the winter and it looks brand new again.

My brother-in-law used Premier Garage in Colorado. It looks awesome. It's more than just the actual coating; it's a whole process. They use a huge machine to micro-grind the surface of the concrete.
The other thing I really like is that they can create a seamless surface that actually extends up the garage wall a couple of inches, which makes clean up really easy.

Disclaimer: My brother is actually the Premier installer in Indianapolis. I have been telling him for two years that I want him to do my garage when he gets into a slow period--that hasn't happened yet! But maybe now with the new housing slump he can find the time to do his brother's garage!

Why is it that family members always get low priority when it comes to this stuff? Thanks for the input!

Forgot to mention these:
With normal Epoxy's...you're out of your garage for 7-10 days.
With Premier garage...you're out of your garage for 1-2 days.

Epoxy's have 1-3 year warranties.
Premeir Garage has a 10 year warranty.

It's not just a clever name.

What do they charge for the floor job? Price per square foot?

It works out to about $4.25/sq ft.

I gotta ask, beautiful garage but the walls are not painted. Why?

for some reason the builder didn't do it. I had a baby about 6 months after I moved into the house and it just hasn't been a priority. It's gonna happen at some point though. :-D

I agree though. The walls look hideous.

Be sure and see what sort of follow up treatment is required and how often.

I'm doing an addition and part of it is an attached garage. I have been looking at both surfaces as well. I'm leaning towards the Race Deck.

But I still have a few weeks before I really have to make a choice.
