If you’re considering upgrading your concrete floor with a professional coating, cost is probably one of your top questions. The price of a concrete floor coating can vary depending on several factors—but one thing is consistent: the long-term value it provides.

At DFW Flake & Epoxy Floor Coatings, we believe in transparency, quality, and results. Here's a full breakdown of what goes into pricing a concrete coating and why this upgrade is a smart investment for homeowners and business owners alike.

What Factors Impact the Cost of a Concrete Coating?

1. Size of the Area
   • Naturally, larger surfaces cost more to coat. A standard two-car garage may cost less per square foot than a larger commercial space due to volume pricing.
2. Current Condition of the Concrete
   • If your concrete is cracked, stained, or damaged, more surface prep is needed. Repairs and grinding before coating will add to the total price but are essential for long-lasting adhesion.
3. Type of Coating Material
   • Epoxy, polyurea, and polyaspartic coatings each come at different price points. At DFW Flake & Epoxy, we guide you toward the best coating for your use case and budget.
4. Color and Customization
   • Basic coatings are more affordable, while decorative flake systems, metallic finishes, and color customization will add to the cost—but also to the visual appeal.
5. Indoor vs. Outdoor Application
   • Outdoor surfaces like patios and driveways may require UV-resistant or weather-grade coatings, which influence the price compared to indoor applications.

Typical Price Range

On average, here’s what homeowners can expect:

• Garage Floor Coating: $4–$10 per square foot
• Patio or Driveway Coating: $5–$12 per square foot
• Commercial Coating: Highly variable—based on size, usage, and durability requirements

These ranges include materials, labor, and prep work. You’ll receive a more precise quote after an inspection from our team.

Why It’s Worth the Investment

• Longevity: Professional coatings can last 10–20 years or more with minimal maintenance.
• Protection: Prevents cracking, staining, and deterioration of your concrete slab.
• Aesthetic Appeal: Instantly improves the look of your space, increasing home value.
• Easy Maintenance: Coated floors are non-porous, stain-resistant, and easy to clean.
• Safety: Optional slip-resistant additives improve safety, especially for outdoor surfaces or garages.

Cost vs. DIY

While DIY kits might seem cheaper upfront, they often result in peeling, bubbling, or poor durability due to improper prep or inferior materials. Hiring professionals like DFW Flake & Epoxy ensures your floor is prepped, installed, and finished to last.
