Polyaspartic Coating Cost
$5–$9/sq ft installed · published, not hidden
A polyaspartic floor coating in Huntsville costs $5–$9 per square foot installed. A typical 2-car garage runs $2,000–$3,800 installed. Where your floor lands inside that range comes down to six factors, and every one of them is on this page.
The range, explained
What you're pricing
The number above is for the Rocket City System — a polyurea base coat, full flake broadcast, and a polyaspartic topcoat, which is the UV-stable clear wear layer that takes the actual abuse. Three named products, installed in one day, warrantied for 15 years in writing.
That matters because "polyaspartic coating" quotes around town aren't pricing the same thing. Some are one thin coat. Some are epoxy with a polyaspartic top. Ours is the full system, and the range holds: a clean, sound slab with standard flake sits near $5/sq ft, and a slab that needs crack repair and moisture work climbs toward $9.
The table on the right is the whole pricing model. No mystery line items.
One factor deserves its own sentence: moisture. If your slab is pushing water vapor — common on older slabs around here — a mitigation primer has to go down first, and that's the largest add on the list. The moisture problems page covers how we test and what the readings mean.
| Factor | Effect on price |
|---|---|
| Square footage | The biggest lever. Setup costs the same for 300 feet as 900, so bigger floors run cheaper per foot. |
| Crack & spall repair | Spalling is surface flaking and pitting. Cracks get routed and polymer-filled, spalls get patched — both add hours before coating starts. |
| Moisture mitigation | The biggest single add. Slabs that test wet need a mitigation primer before the system goes down. |
| Flake choice | Standard Torginol blends all price the same. Oversized specialty flake sizes add a little. |
| Edge & stem-wall coating | Carrying the coating a few inches up the wall is hand work, priced by the linear foot. |
| Moving contents | An empty garage is the cheapest garage. We can move your stuff — it just shows up as a line item. |

Follow the dollars
Where the money actually goes
About 70% of a polyaspartic floor's price is labor and prep, not material. That surprises people, so here's the day: diamond grinding the slab (machine time plus diamond tooling that wears out), routing and filling every crack, moisture readings, masking, then three separate product applications with cure windows between them — all by a crew that does this and only this.
The buckets of product are real money, but they're the minority. Which tells you something useful about cheap quotes: nobody discounts buckets. When a quote comes in dramatically under this range, the savings came out of the labor — which means the prep. The garage coating cost page breaks down exactly what those quotes leave out.
You can't see prep in a finished floor. You see it three Augusts later.
Honest fit check
When we'd tell you not to spend it
Three situations where this coating is the wrong purchase, from people who sell it.
The slab is too far gone. Deep spalling across the whole floor, heaved sections, crumbling edges — at some point you're not coating concrete, you're coating a problem. A slab like that needs resurfacing or replacement first, and we'll say so at the measure instead of taking your money.
The garage's days are numbered. Planning an addition, a teardown, or converting the garage to living space in the next couple of years? Don't put a 15-year floor in a 2-year room.
The budget belongs to moisture first. If your slab tests very wet, the right spend is mitigation — fixing the vapor problem — even if that means the decorative coating waits until next year. A pretty floor over an unmitigated wet slab is a scheduled failure, and we won't install one.
