Per square foot

  • Full-flake polyaspartic: $5–$9 per sq ft
  • Solid color: $4–$7
  • Metallic epoxy: $8–$14
  • Quartz: $7–$12
  • Basement floors: $4–$8 (bigger, less repair)
  • Penetrating sealer only: $1–$2
  • Standalone grinding / coating removal: $1–$3+

What moves the price

  • Square footage. Bigger floors cost more in total and less per foot.
  • Slab condition. Cracks, pits, spalls and old coatings add prep time. A new builder slab is the cheapest to coat; a 1970s slab with a failed epoxy kit is the most expensive.
  • Moisture. High vapor readings call for an epoxy vapor-barrier primer, roughly $1–$2 per sq ft extra.
  • Finish. Solid color is least; flake is standard; metallic and quartz are premium.
  • Extras. Stem walls and steps, cove base, a second topcoat, custom blends, striping.
  • Bundling. Garage + patio + shop in one trip lowers the per-foot price.

What a $2-per-foot quote is skipping

Somebody quoting a two-car garage for $900 is not grinding the slab, not testing moisture, not broadcasting full flake and not applying a polyaspartic topcoat — because those four things alone cost more than that in labor and material. What you're buying is a DIY kit with someone else's labor, and it will peel. The most expensive floor is the one you pay to install and then pay us to grind off.

Is it worth it?

A coated garage floor is one of the few home improvements that shows up in listing photos, gets used every single day, and eliminates a maintenance problem (dust, salt scaling, stains) rather than adding one. Real estate agents along the Wasatch Front routinely call it out in listings. Compared with replacing a scaling slab — $8,000–$15,000 for a two-car garage — a coating is the bargain.

How to get an exact number

Two ways. Our instant quote tool asks for the size, the condition and the finish and builds a written price in about five minutes — it isn't a 60-second gimmick, because an accurate number beats a fast one. Or book a free in-person consultation and we'll measure, moisture-test and look at the slab ourselves.

FAQ

Common questions

How much does a 2-car garage floor coating cost in Utah?

Typically $2,200–$3,800 for a full-flake polyaspartic system including grinding, repair and topcoat. Solid color is a little less; metallic is more.

Why do quotes vary so much between companies?

Prep and system. Diamond grinding, moisture testing, full flake and a polyaspartic topcoat cost real money; skipping any of them makes a quote cheaper and a floor shorter-lived. Compare the layers, not just the total.

Is there a cheaper option that still lasts?

Solid color instead of flake saves a bit. Sealing a sound slab instead of coating it saves a lot. Skipping the grind or the topcoat doesn't save anything — it just moves the cost to later.

Do you charge for consultations?
