How much is an epoxy garage floor?

So you want an epoxy floor?

An epoxy floor for your garage or business can dramatically change the look of your space plus adding protection and safety through anti-slip additives. But how much will this really cost?

There are many factors that will go into your pricing and for simplicity sake, we will assume your hiring s professional company that does floors every day, not a painting company or jack of all trades who does them once in a while. There is a difference.

What is the current condition of the floor?

What is currently on their floor? Another coating? Sealer , paint etc, if there is a coating on the floor most likely it till need to be removed, adding costs

What is the condition of the floor? Do you have cracks? Divots, or spalling concrete?

That will in most cases need to be patched adding costs

What look do you want? A basic solid floor, a partial or full flaked floor? Metallic? Quartz? These all come with different price lines.

What will the floor be used for? A normal garage with a few cars? A working garage? A home shop? Each of these uses many require different products.

What is the turn around time you desire? When do you want to be back on the floor? A full cure is needed before you drive back on the floor, different products can shorten this time depending on use, but it adds cost.

Materials:

Materials are a huge part of the cost for epoxy floors: Material costs can vary between .75 cents a sq ft up to and over $10 a sq ft or more for specialty floors such as anti-static floors, metallics, etc. All adding cost

It is imperative you understand a good installed epoxy floor is not inexpensive but using the professional products you will get a long-lasting industrial grade floor.

You will have some companions come in saying they are using epoxy but when you dive into the datasheets you may see your actually getting a much thinner coating then what we offer, this is where they can lower costs and still tell you your receiving an epoxy floor, remember not all epoxy coatings are the same, they all will leave different levels of thickness when applied and appl have different uses. You need to ask how thick of a coating you will receive, you may receive some pricing that seems high at first but is actually more affordable than the cheaper price you received because you're getting a thicker coating. Thicker means better and long-lasting in epoxy terms (mills)
