My total cost to do mine (768 sq/ft plus 12" CMU wall) was $1700, and I did it myself, but I used polyurea and not epoxy.
Polyurea will have better life under chemical spills over epoxy. Gasoline, diesel, oil, trans fluid, etc. $1800 isn't a bad price though if the material is good quality. |

Proper prep is the key and is a bit of a pain in the a$$.

I’d pay someone for this type of job. Pain in ass and not very forgiving of you screw up. And if you do screw up, you have to pay someone to strip it and start over

I did a 20x20 garage myself (new construction) with the Rustoleum epoxy kit from HD/Lowes... I used the more expensive non-water based stuff. It came out great. I want to say my cost for materials was about $600 for that job (2014). YMMV, $1800 sounds like a good price if materials and work are good quality.

Appreciate the replies. I was told to pick something out at Sherwin Williams. I have yet to look to see what options they have available.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Appreciate the replies. I was told to pick something out at Sherwin Williams. I have yet to look to see what options they have available. When I was doing my floor, one of my first stops was at Sherwin Williams industrial (the regular paint stores do not sell floor coatings) and they did not offer any products for me during the winter. It may be different in Texas. Oddly enough, Polyaspartic sets up slower in cold weather, so warmer temps are not on your side. If Sherwin Williams is it, the GP4850 line is what I would want. Make sure your guy is willing to use that product though. It’s not a multi hour setup like epoxy. You are hard in 20 minutes and second coat in an hour. |

Make sure that he sprinkles the flakes thick enough. Without the flakes on top, the floor is extremely slippery; I made that mistake. Fortunately, we only get rain a couple times a year, so a wet floor isn't common.
Also, the flakes give a lot better wear protection than just the epoxy coating. |

This is my Career. An $1800 3 car garage isn’t going to hold up long term. That’s a basic no prep bull crap single coat hack job. I would charge almost 5k assuming we would also coat the foundation too. Hire someone else to do it have them do a full broadcast of flakes and a polyaspartic topcoat.

A coworker just had his pole barn garage quoted for exactly what you just listed including mechanical abrasion for prep. My coworker is awesome, instead of telling me his square footage, he gave me the "per sqft" price considering I'm thinking about having my garage floor done: $6.25 per sqft (Southern Indiana) |

Open to more opinions and experiences. The garage will be used like a normal family residential garage. Not subject to chemicals or heavy traffic.
Thanks! |

I did 2 garage floor epoxy myself. 1 was a home depot brand (it was ok but peeled after a few years) and 1 was some brand off the internet (lasted about the same length of time). When we moved recently, I hired a place that was recommended to me by a few people ar work. I saw their garage floors and was amazed how much better it looked vs my DIY version. It was $3.50 a sq ft but that was all the materials with heavy flake. I wanna say I spend about 3k total (45' rv garage and a reg 2 car garage).
