What Drives the Price
Concrete Condition
Heavily cracked, pitted, or oil-soaked slabs require more prep time — additional grinding passes, polyurea crack fill, and sometimes a full skim coat. Expect a 10–25% premium on rough Fayetteville slabs.
Total Square Footage
Larger jobs have lower per-square-foot pricing because mobilization, prep equipment, and crew setup are fixed costs spread across more area. A 1,500 sq ft job often runs 15–20% less per square foot than a 250 sq ft job.
System Specification
A solid color epoxy is the cheapest system; a metallic floor with quartz aggregate broadcast is the most expensive. Every additional layer (primer, broadcast media, topcoat) adds material and labor.
Decorative Choices
Custom color blends, multi-color metallic effects, and inlaid logos all add cost. Standard residential flake blends are included in our base flake-system pricing.
Where Cheap Quotes Cut Corners
If you've gotten a quote dramatically below the ranges above — say, $2.50/sq ft for a flake floor — something is missing. Common omissions:
- Skipping diamond grinding in favor of acid etching (saves the contractor hours; costs you a floor that peels in a year).
- Using water-based epoxy instead of 100% solids.
- Applying base coat thinner than spec'd (less material = lower cost = thinner finish).
- Omitting the polyaspartic topcoat entirely.
- Using sand instead of vinyl flakes.
What You Should Get for the Full Price
- A written, itemized quote with system specs and material brands.
- Full diamond grinding of the slab and crack/pit repair.
- Moisture-tolerant primer where needed.
- 100% solids epoxy or polyaspartic base coat to spec thickness.
- Full flake broadcast (where applicable).
- Clear polyaspartic topcoat.
- Written workmanship warranty.
