Hi Bill. How much for what exactly?

Hi Shea,

Thank you for your prompt reply. I was told a fair price is around $7.50 sf for a professional crew. Contractors here in Long Island NY tend to command a premium base on zip code. The quotes are $3,420 and $3900 for a 410 sf coverage. They will also install slat walls (a separate charge), so I am sure they are making out nicely on both ends.

Regards,
Alan

Hi Alan. Wow… the cost of raw materials for coatings and epoxy especially have been going up, however, these are the highest prices we have seen yet for an installation. If it’s a full color flake coverage, we always opt for the 100% solids epoxy base. When applied at the recommended coverage rates, 100% solids epoxy is going to be 10-12 mils thick compared to 6-7 mils for polyaspartic. It provides a better foundation for the flakes to sink into and get hold, it does a better job of covering up irregularities in the concrete, and provides better impact resistance. Unfortunately, many companies try to dissuade customers from epoxy because it usually takes two days for the install instead of one.

Excellent resources on this site. What are your thoughts on a hybrid epoxy base and a polyaspartic top coat vs polyspartic base and top?

These are quotes from two national franchise installers:

1. Hybrid installer at $9.50 sq using 100% solid epoxy base.

2. Polyaspartic installer at $8.25 sq – 85% solid. Total coating thickness is 15 to 20 mils with decorative flakes.

Thank you for the info.
