Epoxy Costs Depend On Your Choice Of Flooring

There is no one-size-fits-all cost for epoxy floors. There are a variety of products designed to solve different problems. Some epoxy coatings are meant for outdoor concrete, while others are exclusively for indoor use.

Let's take a look at the different types of epoxy we install and their costs.

Paint Chip Costs

Paint chip epoxy is one of the more affordable epoxy coating options. The greater your square footage, the less expensive the epoxy will be.

Paint chip is often used in garages, so garage size is a common way to measure the price of paint chip.

• One-car garage: $10 - $12 per square foot
• Two-car garage: $8 - $9 per square foot
• Three-car garage: $7 per square foot

These costs could be higher if the concrete is damaged or difficult to access.

Quartz Epoxy Costs

Quartz epoxy is a pricier option than paint chip. The two are often compared. Quartz epoxy is more durable than paint chip but also more expensive. For most residential applications, the durability of quartz is unnecessary. More often, quartz is used in commercial buildings.

• $10 - $15 per square foot

River Rock Costs

River rock is an amazing epoxy for outdoor concrete overlay. Porches, patios, and even stairs can be overlaid with river rock.

• $10 - $15 per square foot

The greater the square footage, the lower the cost per square foot. However, some river rock projects require forming. An example would be stairs. Most patios and porches cost $12 per square foot because these projects balance square footage and forms.

Acrylic Cement Costs

Acrylic cement is another option for outdoor concrete, commonly used for driveways and pool decks.

Unlike river rock, damage matters more with acrylic cement. Heavily damaged areas require repair time, which drives up costs.

• $9 - $15 per square foot

Acrylic cement can be quite customizable. Fancy designs are more expensive than a simple color and sealer. And like most epoxy applications, smaller square footage also increases the cost per square foot.

Metallic Epoxy Costs

Metallic epoxy is a dramatic and cool-looking floor. This epoxy is best for indoor use, on floors with nothing but foot traffic. Metallic isn't as durable as paint chip, but does deliver a stunning visual.

• $14 to $18 per square foot

Metallic could be more or less expensive depending on the job's size and the top coat's quality.

Grind & Seal Costs

Grind & seal is one of the most affordable concrete sealing options available. Grind & seal can be used on any concrete, indoor or outdoor. The result is an industrial look.

• $2 - $6 per square foot

Grind & seal isn't the flashiest or fanciest epoxy coating. However, if you're comfortable with a commercial appearance and want something easy to clean, grind & seal might be for you.

What To Know About Epoxy Flooring Costs

Epoxy flooring costs vary based on the style and type of epoxy. A grind & seal floor is more affordable than any other epoxy option. Epoxy floors are rarely more pricey than $15 per square foot. On average, most types of epoxy range between $8 and $14 per square foot. The larger your project, the lower the cost per square foot.
