THE MATH
Epoxy floor formula
Total cost = area × (epoxy price + prep & labor)Epoxy garage floors are priced per square foot and include the material plus concrete prep (grinding, crack repair, primer) and multi-coat application.
PRACTICAL EXAMPLE
A 400 sq ft garage
400 sq ft × ($4/sq ft epoxy + $4/sq ft prep & labor) = $3,200.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What epoxy is best?
100% solid epoxy is the most durable; water-based is easier to apply but less tough. Polyaspartic coatings dry faster and resist UV better.
Do I need to prep the concrete?
Yes — grinding, crack repair and primer are essential. Skipping prep makes the coating peel within a year.
How long does it take?
Plan 2-4 days: prep, primer, 2 coats and curing. The garage must stay empty during the job.
