Epoxy Flooring Q&A

Every floor is different, so the best number comes after photos or an on-site review. As a rough starting point, solid colour epoxy is usually around $8 - $12 per sq ft, decorative flake around $9 - $14 per sq ft, metallic epoxy around $10 - $16 per sq ft, quartz systems around $12 - $18 per sq ft, polyaspartic or polyurea around $10 - $16 per sq ft, polished concrete around $8 - $15 per sq ft, and premium custom systems can be higher. Prep, coating removal, repairs, moisture concerns, cove base, vertical edges and access can change the final quote.

The price is not only the coating. A proper quote should account for surface grinding, crack repair, old coating removal, moisture conditions, the number of layers, topcoat choice, slip resistance, square footage and how the space will be used. A low quote can look good at first, but it may leave out the prep that helps the floor last.

Many garage and residential projects take a few working days from prep to final coat. Larger commercial spaces, complex repairs, custom metallic work, cold temperatures or extra cure time can extend the schedule. We confirm timing after reviewing the floor and selected system.

Yes, but moisture needs to be taken seriously. Concrete should be reviewed before coating, especially in garages, basements and older slabs. If there are moisture concerns, the system may need extra prep or a moisture-control approach before any finish goes down.

For most garages, a decorative flake or polyaspartic/polyurea topcoat system is a strong choice because it adds texture, hides dust better than a plain glossy floor and is easier to maintain. Metallic epoxy can also be used in garages when the goal is a showpiece look.

Epoxy is often used for build, body, design layers and metallic effects. Polyaspartic and polyurea products are often used when faster cure times, UV stability or a tough topcoat are important. Some premium floors use more than one product type so the system has both appearance and performance.

Any glossy surface can be slippery when wet. For garages, commercial spaces or areas that may see water, we can discuss texture and anti-slip additives. The right amount of texture depends on how the space will be used and how easy it needs to be to clean.

Small wear, scratches or dull spots can often be improved with cleaning, screening or a fresh topcoat. Larger failures, peeling or damaged areas usually need more prep and recoating. The repair method depends on why the damage happened and what system was installed.

Keep grit and debris off the floor, clean spills quickly and mop with a mild cleaner when needed. Avoid harsh solvents unless the system was designed for chemical exposure. For garages, soft tire marks and road grime are easier to manage when the floor is cleaned regularly.

Yes. Commercial and industrial projects may need more durability, slip resistance, chemical resistance, thicker build or after-hours scheduling. We look at traffic, cleaning, safety needs and downtime before recommending a system.
