I recently found out that some painters offer epoxy floor application services, but I'm not sure if they're the right choice. Are they qualified for this job, or should I stick to hiring a company that specializes in epoxy flooring instead?

I'd say it's probably not the best idea to hire a painter for epoxy flooring. You really get what you pay for, and if the job goes wrong, it can end up costing even more to fix it. I've seen a lot of projects where companies had to remove poorly applied epoxy because it just didn't hold up.
True, but are there any affordable options out there?
It really depends on the painter's experience. If they're knowledgeable about the prep work, product application, and sealing methods, plus they have a clear plan for the project, it might be worth considering. Just be cautious—if their responses seem vague or off, you might want to look elsewhere for someone more qualified.
Good advice. Definitely asking them how they’ll handle the prep work first!
Exactly, that's where the job really gets tricky!
Definitely hire a specialized flooring team. Applying epoxy is more complex than just painting; there's so much prep work involved. You wouldn't want to go with someone who's not legally qualified. It's like asking your barber to perform surgery—just not the best idea!
Totally agree! You want to make sure the job is done right.
Haha, love that analogy! Makes perfect sense.
That's a good point! I guess it's better to invest in a certified professional upfront.
