A flake epoxy floor costs $6.50–$10 per sq ft in Santa Monica, which is $2,600–$4,000 for a two-car garage. The price depends on whether you choose a 3-, 4- or 5-layer build and how much prep the slab needs.
Chips are thrown into a pigmented basecoat until it will not take any more, then scraped, vacuumed and sealed. The texture gives grip, and the pattern hides sand, dust and patched cracks. Popular blends here: Glacier and Yukon (light grays), Everest and Yosemite (darker grays), Denali (blue-gray), and Carlsbad, Saguaro and Sequoia (warm tans).

Layer count sets the starting point; the condition of the slab decides the rest. We price these after we see the slab, so a bare, sound floor is quoted at the low end and you only pay for prep you actually need.
Every tier is a full diamond-ground floor. The extra money in the 4- and 5-layer builds buys coats, not markup.
No. The chips leave a light texture. For wet areas we add grit to the topcoat in the 4-layer build.
Quarter-inch chips are our standard for garages. We bring samples to the estimate.
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.
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.
