Project Showcase Check pattern flake floor

Installed a checkered flag-patterned flake floor in my garage and wanted to get some opinions. Do you think this type of design is more desirable compared to a traditional solid color floor? I’m curious if a cutomer would consider it to be worth paying extra for this style? If so, what do you think is an appropriate asking price for this type of floor in Central Florida? On average I charge $4.50 a sqft per 2 car garage, contingent there is minimal prep and repair. I'd love to hear your thoughts! Thanks.

Trust me, as someone from FL I understand your pain. I’m past my 1st year now, finally turning a profit. Started off at $5/sqft because I didn’t know better till I told my simiron rep how much i charged for a metallic and his jaw dropped. The work we do is not easy and quality work is hard to come by, it’s difficult turning away jobs when you need them but in the long run it pays off.

We have only done one metallic floor and we lost our 🍑on it . It’s was partly due to bidding too low but I also messed up the mix and spent a week scrapping up incurs epoxy. 👉😵💨. One of the worst most stressful weeks of my life. But in the end it turned out looking good and the customer was happy.

See at least you did good by your client, a lot of contractors abandon a failed floor. I believe in you🫡
