A better finish for your garage, shop or patio. Compare coating options and request an estimate for your floor.
What kind of floor is it?
Garage floors
Flake, solid color or quartz systems for vehicle traffic and road salt.
Basements, shops and barns
Walkout lower levels, workshops, pole barns and boat storage.
Commercial floors
Marina service shops, restaurant kitchens, warehouses, showrooms, condo parking.
Patios and pool decks
Sun and wet feet call for a UV-stable coating with grit.
Not sure which coating? Compare epoxy, polyaspartic and polyurea.
What gets checked before coating
Size and shape
Square footage drives most of the price. Stem walls, steps and floor drains add labor.
Cracks and joints
Ask how the contractor will handle cracks and joints before coating.
Stains and old coatings
Coatings don't stick to oil or old sealer. Ask how the quote handles stains and any old coating.
Moisture from below
Vapor coming up through a slab can make a coating bubble or peel. Ask what testing the proposed system requires.
What it costs
This Old House lists professional epoxy installation at $3 to $12 per square foot nationally.
For a 500 square foot floor, that arithmetic comes to about $1,500 to $6,000. It's a budgeting number from a national guide, not a price from a Lake of the Ozarks contractor. Prep, repairs and the system you pick move it.

Lake properties bring their own questions
- Second homesAbout 52% of homes in Camden County are held for seasonal or recreational use, per Census estimates. Plan the work, cure time and access around when you're there.
- Condos and HOA garagesIn Osage Beach, 59% of housing units are in buildings with two or more units. If your garage is in a shared building, check the association's rules first.
- Walkout lower levelsSlabs set into a hillside can pull moisture from the ground. Test before coating a lower level or basement.
- Sun on the patioPool decks and patios need UV-stable coatings and grit so wet feet don't slip.

Questions people ask
What kinds of floors can be coated?
Garages, basements, workshops, commercial spaces and outdoor concrete. The right system depends on the condition of the concrete and how the space is used.
What does a garage floor coating cost?
This Old House lists professional epoxy installation at $3 to $12 per square foot nationally. Local quotes depend on size, crack repair, grinding, moisture and the system you pick. The cost guide covers what moves the number.
Can it be done in one day?
Some fast-curing polyaspartic systems can go down in a day. It depends on the product, the temperature and what the slab needs first. Ask whether testing and any primer the slab needs are part of that day.
Which is better, epoxy or polyaspartic?
It depends on the floor. Epoxy builds thick and bonds well but yellows in sunlight. Polyaspartic cures fast and holds its color in the sun. Many garage systems use both. See coating options.
