Rich Whiddon โ€” Owner & Lead Installer

Rich Whiddon founded Granite Garage Floors Orlando in 2020 as a locally owned franchise location. With hands-on experience in every phase of garage floor coating โ€” from slab assessment and diamond grinding to epoxy application and polyaspartic topcoating โ€” Rich brings real installer expertise to every project.

Before garage floors, Rich spent years in home services and understands that homeowners want three things: honest pricing, quality materials, and a warranty that means something. That's why every Granite Garage Floors project includes our Lifetime Satisfaction Warranty with a written guarantee against hot tire pickup.

Rich personally oversees all Orlando-area installations and is available to answer questions about your project. He believes the best referral comes from a floor that still looks perfect years later.

Why Granite Garage Floors?

The garage floor coating industry has a problem: most homeowners get burned by DIY kits that peel within a year, or one-day installers that skip proper preparation. We chose Granite Garage Floors because the franchise has spent over a decade perfecting a two-day process that actually works long-term in Florida conditions.

Our key differentiators:

  1. Diamond grinding, not acid etching. We mechanically profile concrete to CSP 3-4 โ€” the only prep that provides a permanent mechanical bond for industrial coatings.
  2. 100% solids epoxy. Not the watered-down 30-50% solids formulas in consumer kits. Our base coat is the same grade used in hospitals and manufacturing facilities.
  3. UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat. Florida sun destroys standard epoxy within months. Our polyaspartic topcoat resists UV yellowing and hot tire pickup indefinitely.
  4. A warranty that covers the #1 failure mode. Our Lifetime Satisfaction Warranty specifically guarantees against hot tire pickup โ€” the most common complaint with inferior systems.
