What a quote is made of
Labor is most of the price. Bob Vila puts labor at $4 to $7 per square foot and says it can be as much as 65% of the job. That's the grinding, crack repair and careful application that separate a professional floor from a kit.
What adds to the bill
| Add-on | Typical cost |
|---|---|
| Concrete patching (cracks, chips) | $25 to $250 |
| Moisture barrier primer | About $1 per sq ft (one installer, quoted by Bob Vila) |
| Resurfacing a badly worn slab | $3 to $5 per sq ft |
| Metallic epoxy material | $5 to $12 per sq ft, material only |
| Foundation repair, if cracks come from the foundation | $2,200 to $7,800 |

Why two quotes for the same garage can differ
- The system. An epoxy-only floor, an epoxy base with a polyaspartic topcoat, and a full polyaspartic system are three different prices.
- Prep. Diamond grinding with dust collection costs more than acid etching and bonds better.
- Moisture. A slab that fails a moisture test needs a mitigating primer.
- Thickness. The number of coats and how thick each goes on. Ask for it in mils.
- Extras. Stem walls, the garage apron, steps and cove bases.
- Warranty. What's covered, for how long, and what voids it.
How to compare quotes
- Get the system written out: base coat, flake or not, topcoat, by product name.
- Ask how they prepare the floor and how they test for moisture.
- Ask what happens to cracks and whether repair is included.
- Confirm the square footage they measured.
- Get cure times in writing: walking, heavy items, vehicles.
- Read the warranty for exclusions such as moisture and hot tires.
Texas doesn't issue a state license for general or remodeling contractors; the state licenses trades such as electrical, plumbing and HVAC. For a coating contractor, ask about insurance, how long they've been coating floors, and recent local jobs you can see.
DIY for comparison
Store kits cost $50 to $600, per Bob Vila. Rust-Oleum's EpoxyShield kit covers about 250 square feet of smooth concrete, so a two-car garage usually takes two. See DIY kit vs professional for what you give up.

Questions people ask
What's the typical cost of epoxy coating a garage floor in Texas?
We haven't found Texas-specific cost data. Nationally, Angi and HomeAdvisor put professionally installed epoxy garage floors at $1,595 to $3,337, with an average of $2,441.
How much per square foot?
About $3 to $12 per square foot installed for epoxy and $4 to $9 for polyaspartic, per Bob Vila's cost guides.
Is the cheapest quote usually fine?
Compare what's included first. A low quote that skips grinding or moisture testing can cost more later, because the fix for a failed floor is grinding it off and starting over.
