Santa Monica Epoxy Flooring FAQ
How much does epoxy flooring cost in Santa Monica?
Installed epoxy flooring in Santa Monica runs $6.50–$18.50 per square foot depending on the system. A two-car garage up to 400 sq ft costs $2,600–$4,000 for flake, $3,800–$4,600 for solid color and $5,000–$7,400 for metallic. Every project starts at $2,600.
Why does a flake epoxy garage floor range from $2,600 to $4,000?
The spread comes from layer count. A 3-layer flake system starts at $6.50 per sq ft, or $2,600 for a two-car garage up to 400 sq ft. A 4-layer build adds a second topcoat, and a 5-layer build adds its own moisture barrier plus a final coat, which takes the price up to $10 per sq ft, or $4,000. The $2,600 floor is a complete system, not a teaser.
What prep work can add to an epoxy floor quote?
Prep is the other half of the price. Grinding off an old coating or paint, removing carpet or tile glue, advanced crack and spall repair, tearing out an existing floor, moisture mitigation on a damp slab, and extra labor for tight access or heavy cleanup all add time and material. We price these after seeing the slab, so a bare, sound slab is quoted at the low end.
Where is Santa Monica Epoxy Flooring located?
Our new shop is at 1653 Stanford St #1, Santa Monica, CA 90404, in the Pico neighborhood near Olympic Boulevard. Call (310) 853-8972 before stopping by so someone is there with samples.
Can a garage floor be coated in one day?
Yes, a flake floor. We grind, repair, basecoat, broadcast and topcoat in one working day. Walk on it that evening and park after 48–72 hours. Solid color takes about 3 days and metallic 3–4.
Do Santa Monica slabs have moisture problems?
Some do, especially closer to the beach and in older homes. Moisture coming through the slab is the main reason coatings peel, so we test every slab and use a vapor barrier basecoat when readings are high.
What is the difference between epoxy and polyaspartic?
Epoxy bonds deeply and builds thickness, so we use it as a basecoat. Polyaspartic is UV-stable and resists hot tires, so we use it as the topcoat. Most of our floors use both.
Is the estimate free?
Yes. We measure, test moisture, look at cracks and old coatings, and give you a written price at no cost.
