There are so many concrete coating options available today that it’s often difficult to decide which to use. It’s a good idea to learn about the different kinds of concrete coatings and how much each costs on average, before deciding to
upgrade your concrete. The cost of having your concrete coated depends on the size of the job, the products being used, the experience level of whoever is installing the concrete coating and also how the surface was prepped beforehand. Prices can vary from region to region as well.
One popular concrete coating method is the acid stain, which adds permanent color to concrete. The price range for an acid stain is between $3 and $6 per square foot. Another popular method is concrete polishing, which is used to smooth out concrete surfaces. Color can also be added in a polish, and the price ranges from $5 to $12 per square foot. Polishing a large open space is usually cheaper than polishing a room with a lot of walls, since they must be especially careful when grinding and polishing the floor. Another widely used method is epoxy coating. Epoxy coating creates a finish that is consistent, chemical resistant and easy to take care of. The price range for epoxy garage floor coatings is anywhere from $4 to $8 per square foot, depending on the style being applied. Oftentimes it is actually cheaper to hire a professional to do the job, rather than trying to do it yourself.
