We only got 33 inches of snow this winter so not much snow. I think I only swept out big chunks that fell off the cars out of the garage maybe 4-5 times. I usually don't leave it to melt.
In early April, I just used a mop to clean off the tile and a big pushbroom with old towels. You can also power wash in place but it wasn't necessary.
Not enough water/dirt or salt will leak thru to make it necessaary to remove the tile.
Having said that it is really easy. Just open a section and drag it out into the driveway. 10'x12' sections - easy
The time is dependent on how much junk is piled on it like refrigerators and work benches that you need to move first.
One of the sales points to "Racedeck" is that it is so easy to move that a lot of folks deinstall it when they sell a house. It is a suspension floor - free floating so not attached to anything and the tiles can be attached and reattached in different patterns.
No problems rolling around jacks or anything up to 100-200-300 pounds or so. It is not going to mar at all unless something really heavy has sharp edges. No dropped 1/2" air hammer is going to do anything. Your kids can roller skate/blade on it no big deal.
What do my neighbors think???
"Its all cosmetic BS and you could paint Home Depot epoxy on your floor ten times for the cost and your motorcycle is too loud and stop asking my daughter if she wants a ride! "
