What Drives the Price
Why two epoxy quotes can differ by double
The single biggest variable in an epoxy flooring quote is not the contractor's margin — it is the system and the slab. A solid-colour 100%-solids epoxy on a sound, clean slab is a fast job. A metallic system on a 1960s Vancouver slab that needs crack repair and a moisture vapor barrier primer involves several more layers, more material, and far more labour. That is the entire reason the Metro Vancouver market range runs from roughly $4 to $14 per square foot.
The second variable is prep — the part of the job a homeowner cannot see in a finished floor and the part that decides whether it lasts. A quote that looks cheap often skips diamond grinding or moisture testing, and a coating installed over an unground or moisture-laden slab commonly delaminates within two to three years. Every FraserPlus fixed-price quote includes diamond-grind preparation, crack repair, and moisture testing in the number — there is no separate prep line added later.
The third is the top coat. A pure-epoxy top coat will yellow under UV exposure; a polyaspartic top coat is 100% UV-stable and cures to vehicle traffic in about 24 hours. For a Vancouver garage that sees daylight, the polyaspartic upgrade — typically $1–$2 per square foot — is the difference between a floor that still looks new in fifteen years and one that ambers in three.
