 in Austin typically runs $5 to $10 per square foot for an industrial-grade install. That’s labor, materials, full diamond-grinding prep, crack repair, and the coating system itself.

The big factors that move the number:

-   **Slab condition.** A clean newer slab is in the low end. A 30-year-old slab with cracks and old coating is at the high end.
-   **System choice.** A flake epoxy alone sits lower. A flake-and-polyaspartic combo costs more but lasts longer.
-   **Square footage.** Larger floors are more cost-efficient per square foot — mobilization is fixed.

## What you’re paying for

The bulk of cost is labor on prep. Diamond grinding a 600 sq ft garage with HEPA dust containment, repairing cracks, and prepping for color is the real work. The coating itself is a smaller cost.

Cheaper quotes nearly always skip prep. A $3/sq ft quote almost certainly means acid-etch prep and a thinner coating — fine for a year, problematic for a decade. Compare apples to apples and the spread between “cheap” and “real industrial” closes fast.

## Frequently Asked Questions

Why is there such a wide price range? +

Slab condition (crack repair, moisture mitigation), square footage, finish selected, and whether you want a polyaspartic topcoat all move the number significantly.

Is a more expensive system worth it? +

Usually, yes. Adding polyaspartic adds ~20-30% but extends life and adds UV stability — most Austin garages benefit.

Do you offer ballpark quotes? +

Yes — send a slab photo and a measurement and we typically get a quote back the same day. Final pricing is in writing.
