Pricing

What a coated floor actually costs

Most coating companies will not put any number on a web page. We will. Below is where our pricing starts. Where your job lands above that comes down to size, slab condition and the finish you pick, and you get the exact figure in writing after the walkthrough.

The numbers

Typical project pricing

These are starting points from real work in Longview, Kilgore, Tyler and the surrounding towns. Nothing prices below them. What pushes a job above one is slab condition, square footage and finish, and we walk you through exactly which of those applies to yours.

The minimum exists because a small job takes the same mobilization, grinder rental, containment and material minimums as a large one. Below a certain size the math stops working, so small jobs price at the minimum rather than shrinking indefinitely.

What moves the price

Why two garages the same size quote differently

Slab condition

A clean, sound slab grinds fast. One with heavy cracking, spalling, old paint, mastic or a previous coating takes hours of extra prep before anything else can happen. This is the single biggest variable.

Finish choice

Solid color is the base price. Full flake adds material and a second grind pass. Metallic adds both material cost and installation time because it is applied by hand and cannot be rushed.

Moisture in the slab

A slab pulling vapor from below will push a coating off eventually. If it tests high, mitigation gets added. We would rather quote it honestly than watch the floor fail in a year.

Access and layout

A walkout garage with a wide door is straightforward. A basement with stairs, tight corners, columns or fixed equipment means slower prep and more hand work at the edges.

Schedule

Standard business hours is the base rate. Night work, weekend work and phased commercial installs carry a premium because of crew scheduling and fast-cure materials.

Distance

Inside about 60 miles of Longview there is no travel charge. Outside that we will tell you straight whether it makes sense, rather than quietly padding the number.

Money questions

Payment, deposits and guarantees

Do you charge for the quote?

No. The walkthrough, measurement, moisture check and written quote are free, and there is no obligation attached to any of it.

Do you take a deposit?

Yes, a deposit at scheduling with the balance due on completion. The exact split is written on your quote before you sign anything.

Can the price change after you start?

Only if we find something the walkthrough could not show, like a hidden coating under the surface or a slab issue that shows up during grinding. If that happens we stop, show you, and you approve the change in writing before we continue. No surprise invoices.

Why is the cheapest bid usually the most expensive?

Because a floor that fails in eighteen months has to be ground off and redone, and removal costs more than the original install. The savings on the first job disappear the second time around.

Is there a warranty?

Yes, on workmanship, with the terms written on your quote. It covers our install. It does not cover slab movement, standing chemical spills, impact damage or moisture mitigation you declined after we recommended it.
