What Does a Garage Floor Coating Cost in Myrtle Beach?

What makes the price go up or down

• Square footage. The biggest factor. Garages are rarely the size people guess, which is why Phil measures in person.
• What is on the floor now. Paint, a sealer or an old coating has to be ground off first.
• Crack and spall repair. Hairline cracks are routine. Wide cracks, pitting and broken edges take more material and time.
• Moisture. Coastal slabs push moisture, so the concrete is tested and the base coat matched to it.
• Extra areas. Steps into the house, a side door landing, a golf cart bay or a patio done at the same visit.

Why one quote is lower than another

A much lower number usually means something was left out. The common shortcuts are muriatic acid and a primer instead of grinding, a single thin coat instead of a base coat, flake and top coat, no moisture barrier on a slab that needs one, or a price that leaves moving your things and repairing the slab to you.

Clean Floor Coatings quotes one price with all of it included: moving everything out and back, real grinding, repairs and every coat. When you compare, compare the same system, layer by layer. The contractor checklist lists the questions to ask.

DIY kit vs professional

A store bought kit costs far less up front. The catch is the prep: without a diamond grinder the coating sits on top of the concrete instead of bonding into it, and most kits are thin products with no moisture barrier. On a coastal slab that tends to show up as blisters, peeling and hot tire pickup, and grinding off a failed kit adds to the cost of doing it right later. See grinding vs acid etching.
