How much will an epoxy garage floor cost me?
An epoxy floor for your garage 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 a professional company that does floors every day.
Using professional epoxy coatings
It is not advisable to use a painter with little experience or have your contractor do it (a jack of all trades)
A professional epoxy floor can be between 15-20 mills
A typical residential 2 car garage between 400-450 sq ft will be normally between $5.50-$12 a sq ft depending on what system you may be getting
To remove a coating add another $1-3 a sq ft
Want an additional clear coat?
Add another $2-3 per sq ft
Have a significant amount of patching? We will need to talk as it can double the price in some instances or more.
Many variables will go into the costs of your epoxy garage floor such as:
- What is the current condition of the floor?
- Will it need a lot of patching
- Are there significant cracks, divots or aggregate showing?
- Do you want the expansion joints to disappear?
- Do you have cove or curbing that needs to be coated?
- What is currently on their floor?
- Does a coating need to be removed?
- Is there a sealer on the concrete? What type of sealer?
- What look or type of floor would you like?
- 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?
- Different products can shorten this time depending on use, but it may add cost.
Solid Epoxy Floor
A solid epoxy floor is just what it sounds like:
- Your floor would be prepared and typically a high solid epoxy and a clear coat would be applied for durability and uv protection
