Typical Epoxy Flooring Projects

What to Expect

1. 1

   Consultation & Quote

   Contractor visits to assess your floor, discuss coating options, and provide a written estimate.

2. 2

   Surface Preparation

   Floor is ground or shot-blasted to remove old coatings and create a rough surface for adhesion.

3. 3

   Epoxy Application

   Primer, base coat, and optional decorative flakes are applied, followed by a clear top coat.

4. 4

   Cure & Return to Use

   Floor cures for 24–72 hours. Foot traffic after 24 hours, vehicles after 72 hours typically.

Cost Factors

• Square footage: Larger areas reduce per-square-foot cost, while small spaces may have higher minimums.
• Surface condition: Cracked, uneven, or previously coated floors need more prep work, adding to labor costs.
• Finish type: Solid color is most affordable; metallic, flake, and polyaspartic finishes cost more.
• Number of coats: Heavy-duty systems may require primer, multiple base coats, and a top coat.
• Access & location: Difficult access, stairs, or the need to move heavy items can increase labor time.

Cost estimates vary by contractor and project specifics. Request multiple quotes for accurate pricing.

Tips for Hiring a Epoxy Flooring Contractor

• Request to see photos of completed projects similar to yours, especially for decorative finishes like metallic or flake.
• Ask how long the floor needs to cure before foot traffic and vehicle traffic — rushed timelines can cause peeling.
• Ask about their concrete surface preparation process — proper grinding is critical for epoxy adhesion and long-term durability.
