A garage epoxy floor in Vancouver costs $6 to $15 per square foot installed, and most two car garages land between $2,400 and $4,800 for a flake finish.
Epoxy Experts charges $6 to $8 per square foot for flake floors, about $7 for solid colour floors, and $10 to $15 for metallic floors. Those rates include diamond grinding and the full professional epoxy garage flooring system. Flake and solid garage floors carry a 15 year written warranty against peeling and delamination, and metallic floors carry 5 years.
Vancouver slabs need more attention than most, because wet winters push moisture up through older concrete. Every job starts with moisture testing, and a slab that fails the test needs a moisture mitigating primer, which we price after seeing the results.
If your quotes are far apart, it usually reflects different scopes of work, which we explain in why epoxy quotes vary so much.
How Much Does Garage Epoxy Cost per Square Foot in Vancouver?
Epoxy Experts prices garage floors by the square foot, and each rate below includes diamond grinding, the base coat, the finish, and the topcoat.
| Garage floor system | Price per sq ft installed | Warranty |
|---|---|---|
| Flake epoxy | $6 to $8 | 15 years |
| Solid colour epoxy | About $7 | 15 years |
| Metallic epoxy | $10 to $15 | 5 years |
To estimate your own garage, multiply the length by the width and then by the rate for the finish you want. A standard 22 by 22 foot two car garage is 484 square feet, so a flake floor at $7 comes to about $3,388, a solid colour floor at $7 comes to about $3,388, and a metallic floor at $12.50 comes to about $6,050.
How Much Does It Cost to Epoxy a Single, Double or Triple Garage?
A two car garage in Vancouver costs $2,400 to $4,800 for a flake floor, $2,800 to $4,200 for a solid colour floor, and $4,000 to $9,000 for a metallic floor, based on 400 to 600 square feet at Epoxy Experts rates.
| Garage size | Flake ($6 to $8) | Solid colour (about $7) | Metallic ($10 to $15) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single car, 240 to 380 sq ft | $1,440 to $3,040 | $1,680 to $2,660 | $2,400 to $5,700 |
| Two car, 400 to 600 sq ft | $2,400 to $4,800 | $2,800 to $4,200 | $4,000 to $9,000 |
| Three car, 700 to 850 sq ft | $4,200 to $6,800 | $4,900 to $5,950 | $7,000 to $12,750 |
The low end of each range fits a newer slab in good condition, and the high end fits an older slab with more grinding, more crack filling, or a premium colour blend.
What Can Add to the Price of a Garage Epoxy Floor?
Diamond grinding is already in the per square foot rate, so the price only moves when the slab needs work beyond normal prep. The three things that add cost on Vancouver garages are deep cracks and spalled concrete that need crack repair and levelling, a slab that fails the moisture test and needs a moisture mitigating primer, and an old coating or paint that has to be ground off before the new system goes down. We price each of these after seeing the slab, and they appear as separate lines on the written quote.
DIY kits from a hardware store cost less up front, but they skip the grinding and moisture testing that keep a coating bonded through a Vancouver winter. A professionally installed flake or solid garage floor from Epoxy Experts carries a 15 year written warranty against peeling and delamination, and a DIY kit carries none.
Before you decide on the cheapest option, it is worth understanding the disadvantages of epoxy flooring and how a polyaspartic topcoat compares to epoxy for a Vancouver garage.
Skimping on prep is the number one reason a coating fails early, which we cover in why epoxy floors peel in Vancouver garages. For a price on your own garage, call Epoxy Experts at (778) 653-8356 and we will measure the space and test the slab before quoting.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to epoxy a 2 car garage in Vancouver?
A two car garage costs $2,400 to $4,800 for a flake floor with Epoxy Experts, based on 400 to 600 square feet at $6 to $8 per square foot. A solid colour floor runs $2,800 to $4,200, and a metallic floor runs $4,000 to $9,000.
How much does it cost to epoxy a single car garage in Vancouver?
A single car garage of 240 to 380 square feet costs $1,440 to $3,040 for a flake floor, $1,680 to $2,660 for a solid colour floor, and $2,400 to $5,700 for a metallic floor.
Is diamond grinding included in the price?
Yes. Every Epoxy Experts rate includes diamond grinding, because a coating will not bond properly to concrete that has not been ground. Only extra work such as deep crack repair, a moisture mitigating primer, or removing an old coating is quoted on top.
Is a cheaper DIY epoxy kit worth it?
For most Vancouver garages it is not, because hardware store kits skip the grinding and moisture testing that keep a coating bonded through wet winters. A DIY kit carries no warranty, while a professionally installed flake or solid garage floor from Epoxy Experts carries 15 years against peeling and delamination.
What warranty comes with a garage epoxy floor?
Epoxy Experts gives a 15 year written warranty against peeling and delamination on flake and solid garage floors up to 1,000 square feet, and 5 years on metallic floors. The warranty takes effect once the job is paid in full and does not cover cracks in the concrete, moisture coming up through the slab, or chemical damage.
