as you who have seen the shop area before, it is now much expanded, we are waiting for another lift to be installed and then will refinish the floor, we are between epoxy and concrete polishing. Please does anyone have an opinion on either method?Attached Image

From the looks of your picture you will need to shot bead the floor to remove the old epoxy. If you go with the concrete polishing they will grind the floor and may charge a premium because the epoxy could clog there grinding stones. I like the epoxy floors because of more light reflecting and a cleaner look. Plus when you drop a small part or screw you find it faster. Not sure about how the floor will hold up with welding splatter. I'll ask my epoxy guy and the guys we use for the Five Below stores we build.
