"Mike & team did an excellent job in explaining what would be done, providing options on what might work best, providing detailed planning on how the install would occur, and in performing the task to lay the epoxy into the garage per schedule as indicated. I also had the lower wall below the sheet rock epoxy coated and both it and the flooring system look beyond excellent (looks like a professional shop floor). The flakes in the flooring system provides a slight bumpy surface by design, which provides good traction when wet. The system has been in place for almost five months and I have not seen any issues to date - it is holding up well against the salt & car oils."
"If you are considering epoxy for your floors anywhere in your home, contact Central Illinois Epoxy! Their choices of color and texture are quite different and more than standard fleck Iâ ve been offered elsewhere. I chose deep, tonal colors for interior floors of a breezeway and garage turned climate controlled gym. I could not have been more pleased. Not only were the floors GORGEOUS, they also showed up when they said they would, completed the job in the time they estimated (*barring one unanticipated variable!), provided exceptional customer service and were willing to problem solve for the unexpected. *we live in the country. Due to the mild winter, a large number of houseflies decided they liked the look of the new epoxy on the garage/gym floor! Central IL Epoxy made sure the job met our expectations despite the uninvited guests. They go above and beyond. I would choose them again for any project."

"They did an excellent job, showed up on time, cleaned up after they finished. My garage floor looks wonderful , it was crumbly, cement loose and flaking, little stones all over. Now it is clean and pretty!"
"They did an excellent job of coordinating work, since I did the framing, drywall and flooring. This is the second job they have done for us and we have been very happy with the work."
"Our house had a water damage that ruined much of the drywall and floor on the first floor and the basement. For such a big repair job, I carefully looked up the reviews and recommendations from Angie's list and talked to 3 contractors that have the highest ratings. AOM was one of the three. David, the owner of AOM, quickly came to our house, assessed the damage, explained to me what need to be done, showed great empathy to our loss and current situation (having to stay in hotel waiting to go back to our house), and put a very competitive bid (about 2/3 the bid of another contractor). We picked them and signed the contract. AOM uses Trello, a cloud-based project tracking system that software companies often use, to effectively and promptly communicate task description and updates to all workers and house owners. AOM workers are professional, hard working, and friendly. For such a big project, expectedly there were some hiccups and AOM had to juggle ours with their other on-going projects. David kindly explained to me various aspects of the repair work and promptly fixed any faults that we identified. I became to completely trust David's professional skill and that he would treat our house like his. Several nights and weekends David came to work late so that we could move back to normal life as soon as possible. In the end, we are very happy with our remodeled house. I sincerely recommend David and AOM for any house remodeling and restoration job."

Sealing resurfaced concrete is not an absolute necessity. However, it is recommended, and in most cases, a high-quality concrete sealer can protect the surface from stains as well as water penetration, extending the life of the resurfacing material. Some sealers are formulated to protect pigments from fading due to UV exposure. Sealer tends to enhance the colors in decorative resurfacing applications, making them more vibrant and richer compared to the duller, more faded appearance of concrete colors without sealer.
No. You cannot use asphalt products on concrete driveways. To seal a concrete driveway, use acrylic, epoxy, polyurethane, silane, siloxane, and silicate sealers or deep penetration sealers made specifically for concrete. Meanwhile, asphalt sealers contain refined coal tar (asphalt emulsion), water, sand, clay, polymers, and additives and are incompatible with concrete’s surface texture and higher density.
To keep your stamped concrete surfaces shiny, experts recommend resealing them every two or three years. Regularly cleaning your stamped concrete (at least twice per year, as part of routine maintenance) is another way to increase its sheen. Also, if you notice any spills or leaks, you should clean your stamped concrete as soon as possible to preserve its shine and prevent long-term damage.
Most garage floor paints are epoxy-based and available in DIY kits. One-part epoxies are simpler to apply than two-part epoxies, which have a more involved process. Sometimes, people also use latex-based paint because it’s easier to clean up mistakes with soap and water. Either way, make sure your paint is specifically designed for concrete garage floors. It should say so on the label.
The benefits of epoxy floor coating include increased durability for concrete surfaces in the face of harsh chemicals, easy cleaning and maintenance, improved efficiency for underfloor heating, and an improved aesthetic over the dull surface of standard concrete floors.
