One formula for every bid
Total = (system rate + slab extras) × square feet, plus flat options. The calculator on the home page uses this arithmetic, and so do the worked examples. All figures are market estimates, not quotes.
| System | Installed, per sq ft |
|---|---|
| Solid-color epoxy | $3–$6 |
| Flake (chip) epoxy | $5–$8 |
| Polyaspartic flake | $7–$12 |
| Metallic epoxy | $8–$12 |
Where the rates come from
No Chula Vista price list exists, so the bands sit inside published ones. A home-services page for Chula Vista gives $5–$8 per square foot including materials, and about $1,300–$2,100 for a garage near 250 square feet. A San Diego installer's page gives $3–$7 for broadcast flake and $7–$12 for polyaspartic. California guides give solid color at $3–$6 or less, metallic at $8–$12, and polyaspartic or polyurea from $6 up to $10 and beyond. Southern California pages run higher for full polyaspartic builds, so the polyaspartic band here stretches to $12.
Garage size, system by system
| Garage | Area used | Flake epoxy | Polyaspartic flake |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1-car | 240 sq ft | $1,200–$1,920 | $1,680–$2,880 |
| 2-car | 440 sq ft | $2,200–$3,520 | $3,080–$5,280 |
| 3-car | 700 sq ft | $3,500–$5,600 | $4,900–$8,400 |
| 4-car | 900 sq ft | $4,500–$7,200 | $6,300–$10,800 |
| 5-car or larger | 1,150 sq ft | $5,750–$9,200 | $8,050–$13,800 |
One car is 12 by 20 feet in a common published average, and three cars about 704 square feet. San Diego two-car garages run 400 to 480 square feet, so 440 is the middle. The four- and five-car areas are derived from bay width and depth, then rounded down, not published averages.
What the slab adds per square foot
| Slab condition | Added per sq ft | On 440 sq ft |
|---|---|---|
| Sound slab | $0 | $0 |
| Minor cracks, pitting, small spalls | $1–$2 | $440–$880 |
| Old coating or paint to remove | $2–$4 | $880–$1,760 |
| Heavy oil, or a slab that tests damp | $2–$4 | $880–$1,760 |
Slab extras stack. A 440 square foot flake floor with cracks and an old coating is ($5 + $1 + $2) to ($8 + $2 + $4), so $8–$14 per square foot, or $3,520–$6,160.
Flat options, one line each
| Option | Flat amount |
|---|---|
| Coat the stem wall at the garage door | $150–$400 |
| Coat the entry steps or landing | $100–$300 |
| Extra crack or joint repair, many cracks | $150–$450 |
| Custom flake blend | $100–$300 |
| Move the contents out and back | $150–$400 |
All five on the cracked, old-coating floor above add $650–$1,850 and bring the total to $4,170–$8,010. Crack repair is commonly priced at $50–$200 per area, which is why the extra-cracks line is about three areas.
Why west-side and east-side bids drift apart
Older garages west of Hilltop Drive are more likely to carry the damp-slab or old-paint lines, because the slab is older and may have been painted more than once. Newer east-side garages are more likely to need the move-contents line, since they tend to be filled to the door. Neither is a rule; the slab and a moisture test decide. A bid that folds every item into one number cannot be set beside one that lists them.
