We use four main variables for an accurate and immediate floor cost quote. When you know the information for each, go to our form. Here is what you will need to do for your epoxy or polyaspartic floor cost quote:
- Choose the type of epoxy floor (solid color, flake, metallic)
- Calculate your floor area
- Know your floor location (basement, garage, etc.)
- Determine the current condition of your concrete floor
What Floor Coating Do You Like?
Residential and commercial epoxy floors come in three main styles. A solid color epoxy floor displays one color throughout. For example, we can install a solid white epoxy floor to brighten up and highlight an automobile collection. Epoxy flooring in one color is a less labor-intensive installation and will lower the cost per square foot.
An epoxy or polyaspartic flake floor is a decorative, double-casted aggregate vinyl chip floor design with non-yellowing properties. Vinyl chip colors and combinations are customized for you, while a light, stable epoxy layer seals and protects the basecoat and chip from UV degradation. Like a solid color epoxy floor, a flake concrete coating remains durable in continuous traffic. We often customize flake flooring to be anti-slip and resist chemicals, stains, and water, which makes it ideal for garages and homes with pets. However, a flake floor design requires more manual labor and technique, which increases the installation cost per square foot.
A metallic epoxy floor is the most labor-intensive epoxy floor coating, and it is a beautiful, unique look for basements and entryways. Metallic epoxy flooring requires high technical expertise to achieve the right aesthetic look. They are hand-crafted and use high-quality pearlescent, light-reflective aggregate blends. Aggregate powder blends consist of nanoparticles coated with organic or inorganic pigments to produce an iridescent appearance. Due to a metallic epoxy floor’s complexity, this installation demands experienced flooring experts who prepare the surface properly and apply the custom, artistic finish for an even look. A metallic epoxy floor is the most time-consuming due to its hand-crafted result and the most expensive per square foot.
What Is Your Floor Area Size?
The second variable to get your floor cost is calculating your floor area size. This step is easy, and it quickly starts the process. Property owners often want a contractor to measure their space, which is unnecessary. All you need to do is measure the length of the floor space and multiply it times the width of the floor space to get the square footage. Floor size is the first factor to help determine your cost. Usually, contractors use ranges of square footage to help them quote. For example, less than 400 sq. ft, 400-1,000 sq. ft., 1,000-2,000 sq. ft., and over 2,000 sq. ft. An average range of cost per square foot will fall between $5-$10. Knowing the other variables mentioned above will help clarify your cost per square foot installation cost.
Where Will Your New Floor Be Installed?
A professional epoxy floor installation requires heavy equipment, and a location with difficult access can require more labor and expense. Easy access to a floor area is ideal, but often this isn’t possible in older properties. Usually, a basement epoxy floor in an older property will increase your cost slightly. This is because older houses tend to have longer and narrower staircases that lead to a basement requiring extra labor (and cost) to carry the equipment and materials to avoid accidental damage and complete the project on time. On the other hand, a garage floor, walk-in basement floor, or convenient access to a foyer offers minimal transport of equipment and materials and avoids extra labor costs.
What Is Your Current Floor Condition?
Your current floor condition will be either poor, good, or great. A concrete surface that requires more preparation time will have a higher cost per square foot. If your concrete surface seems to have cracks and damage everywhere, it is in poor condition and will require the most prep work. If your concrete surface has some minor cracks here and there, then your floor is considered to be in good condition and requires less prep work. If your concrete surface has very few cracks, if any, it is in great condition and will require the minimum amount of preparation before installation.
After you submit our form to calculate your floor cost, we will arrange a time with you to inspect your current surface thoroughly. For example, if the concrete is old, we test the surface for previous epoxy layers or other products applied over the years, patch and repair all cracks and chips, and remove all grease. Therefore, if the concrete surface is in poor condition, we may need more time to fix all damage to ensure your new epoxy floor will last decades.
An epoxy flooring installation requires precision and patience. Therefore, we ensure the temperature, humidity, and application are ideal for excellent flooring.
