| Finish Type | Price (CAD/sq ft) | Best For | Lifespan |
|---|---|---|---|
| Solid-Color Epoxy | $5.50 โ $7.00 | Workshops, basements, budget garages | 10โ15 yr |
| Vinyl Flake Epoxy | $6.50 โ $8.50 | Most home garages (best seller) | 15โ20 yr |
| Metallic Epoxy | $9.00 โ $12.00 | Showroom-style garages, retail | 10โ15 yr |

What Actually Moves the Price?
Square footage is only one factor. Here's what makes two same-size garages cost very different amounts.
Floor Prep
Old paint, oil stains, cracks, or pitted concrete add 1โ2 hours of grinding per 100 sq ft. Budget +$0.75โ$1.50 per sq ft for heavy prep.
Flake Density
Light "scatter" flake is cheaper than full broadcast that completely hides the basecoat. Full broadcast adds about $0.40/sq ft.
Topcoat Choice
Polyaspartic outlasts plain epoxy under road salt and hot tires โ worth the upgrade in Alberta.
Layout Cuts
Posts, drains, and small irregular bays = more cut-in time. Open rectangles install fastest.
Temperature
Below 5ยฐC the resin needs heaters. Winter installs may carry a small heat surcharge.
Travel
Edmonton, Sherwood Park, Spruce Grove and St. Albert: no travel fee. Beyond ~80 km we add fuel.
DIY Epoxy Kit vs Professional Install
Big-box DIY kits look cheap on the box, but the math rarely works out once you factor in equipment, time, and lifespan.
| Big-Box DIY Kit | Pro Install (M&M) | |
|---|---|---|
| Materials cost (2-car garage) | $300 โ $500 | included |
| Diamond grinder rental + dust shroud | $200 โ $350 | included |
| Time investment | 2 weekends | 1 working day |
| Coat thickness (mils) | 3โ4 mils | 20โ35 mils |
| Typical lifespan | 2โ3 winters | 15โ20 yr |
| Warranty | None | 5-year written |
| True annual cost | ~$250 / yr | ~$200 / yr |
5 Ways to Lower Your Epoxy Quote (Without Cutting Corners)
- Bundle with a neighbour. Two adjacent driveways the same week = 10โ15% off both quotes (we save mobilization time).
- Book in shoulder season. Mid-April or early October crews have open slots โ easier to negotiate.
- Skip the deluxe topcoat for low-traffic basements. Standard epoxy is plenty for a hobby room.
- Choose a popular flake blend. Custom-mixed flake colours add a small line item. Our 262 stock blends do not.
- Get the prep done before we arrive. Empty garage + sweep = saves us 30 min of labour.
