Why We Do Not Publish One Price per Square Foot
The most common first question is what epoxy flooring costs. The accurate answer is that it depends on the project, and any single number you see online conceals significant variation. Two floors of the same size can have very different prices because one slab is sound and clean and the other needs crack repair, old coating removal and moisture control. We prefer to see the floor, measure it and give you a written quote that reflects your actual space, not an average. Request a free estimate to discuss your project.
How an Epoxy Floor Quote Is Built
Every quote from Supreme Epoxy is based on the same building blocks, which you can see itemized in your written proposal:
Preparation
Diamond grinding or shot blasting, cleaning and dust control. This is the foundation and is never skipped.
Repairs
Crack, joint and pit repair and levelling where the slab needs it.
The Coating System
Primer, base coat, flake or metallic effect and topcoat, chosen for how the space is used.
Extras and Detailing
Cove base, stairs, borders, safety lines and texture where specified.
Scheduling and Access
Overnight, weekend or phased work and any difficult access.
How the Main Systems Compare
Without quoting numbers, here is how the common systems generally compare on cost and use:
- Solid-colour epoxy: usually the most economical decorative system. Clean, modern and straightforward.
- Flake epoxy with a clear topcoat: a middle ground. More materials and labour than solid colour, and the most popular for garages. See epoxy flake flooring.
- Polyaspartic topcoat: adds to the system cost but delivers faster cure and UV stability. See polyaspartic coatings.
- Metallic epoxy: usually the highest in the decorative range because of hand work and multiple coats. See metallic epoxy.
- Urethane cement and heavy-duty systems: specialized systems for demanding commercial and industrial spaces. See urethane cement.
The cheapest quote is rarely the cheapest floor. Skipping grinding, using thin coatings or ignoring moisture can save money on day one and cost far more when the floor peels. Compare what is included, not just the total.
What a Good Quote Should Include
- The area and exactly where the work will be done
- The preparation method (grinding or shot blasting) and repairs
- The full system: primer, base, flake or metallic, topcoat
- Any extras such as cove base, stairs or line marking
- The schedule, return-to-service times and cleanup
- How moisture and slab conditions will be handled
Residential, Commercial and Industrial Pricing Differences
Residential garages and basements are typically quoted by area with a standard system. Commercial and industrial projects add scheduling, phasing and performance requirements such as chemical resistance, slip resistance or static control, so scope varies more. See our pages for garages, commercial floors and industrial floors for what is typical in each.
