How Much Does an Epoxy Floor Cost in Quebec?
A complete epoxy floor costs between $7.00 and $8.50 per square foot in Quebec, installation included. For a two-car garage of 400 to 600 sq ft, that comes to a project between $2,800 and $5,100. The exact price depends on the condition of the concrete underneath, not just the area to cover.
Key Takeaways
- Complete system (base, flakes, topcoat): $7.00 to $8.50 / sq ft
- 2-car garage (400-600 sq ft): around $2,800 to $5,100
- Concrete repair before application, if needed: around $1.25 / sq ft
- Custom color: possible surcharge, delay of up to 1 month for the order
- 15-year warranty against peeling, included in the price, not an option
How Much Does an Epoxy Floor Cost per Square Foot?
A complete epoxy system, 100% solids base coat, flakes and slip-resistant polyurethane or polyaspartic topcoat, costs $7.00 to $8.50 per square foot at Bétonik. This price covers standard concrete preparation, the application of all three layers, and the 15-year warranty against peeling.
This isn’t the price of a coat of paint. It’s a three-stage system: a base layer that bonds through mechanical anchoring once the concrete is properly ground, vinyl flakes for texture and wear resistance, then a finish coat that handles traffic, salt and oil. Each layer has a cost, but also a precise role. A quote at $3 or $4 per square foot almost always skips one of these steps.
To give you an order of magnitude: at $7.00/sq ft, a 200 sq ft floor (a small single garage) runs around $1,400. At $8.50/sq ft, a 600 sq ft floor (a generous two-car garage) approaches $5,100.

How Much Does an Epoxy Floor Cost for a Two-Car Garage?
A standard two-car garage measures between 400 and 600 sq ft in Quebec, which puts a complete system project between $2,800 and $5,100. It’s the most requested format at Bétonik, and the one where the price gap between a serious installer and an improvised subcontractor shows the fastest.
| Garage size | Estimated price ($7.00 to $8.50/sq ft) |
|---|---|
| 200 sq ft (single garage) | $1,400 to $1,700 |
| 400 sq ft (two-car garage, compact) | $2,800 to $3,400 |
| 600 sq ft (two-car garage, generous) | $4,200 to $5,100 |
These figures assume concrete in good condition. If there’s rising damp, active pyrite, or active cracks, additional prep is added to the base price — see the next section.

What Makes an Epoxy Floor's Price Vary?
The final price depends on four concrete factors: the condition of the concrete, the square footage, the color chosen and the system applied. Two garages of the same size can have prices that differ by several hundred dollars depending on what’s hiding under the surface.
Concrete condition. A moisture test is mandatory before any application. If the concrete has cracks, active pyrite or a moisture level that’s too high, repair is needed first, billed at around $1.25 per square foot on top of the epoxy system. Skipping this step is exactly what causes the peeling seen with other installers after a year or two.
Square footage. The price per square foot drops slightly on larger surfaces, but stays within the $7.00 to $8.50 range for most residential projects.
Color and finish. Standard catalog shades add nothing to the base price. A custom color or a special flake order can add a surcharge and delay the job by up to a month while the material arrives.
System chosen. A polyaspartic topcoat (UV-stable, for a garage with a door that’s often open or an exposed area) costs a bit more than a standard polyurethane topcoat reserved for indoor use.
Why some prices are lower elsewhere: many small epoxy installers aren’t concrete tradespeople by training. They apply the system without testing for moisture, without checking for pyrite, without full diamond grinding, which explains a lower price upfront and peeling a year or two later. Bétonik’s price includes this evaluation, not just the product applied on top.
How Do You Get an Exact Price for Your Project?
The final price is given after a free on-site evaluation, never over the phone. An installer who gives a firm number without seeing the concrete can’t know whether there’s pyrite, cracks or moisture to deal with first.
The evaluation usually takes 30 to 45 minutes: moisture test, visual inspection of cracks, exact measurements of the garage or basement. The firm price is given on-site or within days, with no surprises once work begins.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about pricing.
How much does an epoxy garage floor cost in Quebec?
Between $7.00 and $8.50 per square foot for a complete system at Bétonik. For a two-car garage of 400 to 600 sq ft, that’s a project between $2,800 and $5,100, depending on the concrete’s condition and the finish chosen.
Does the price include concrete preparation?
Standard diamond grinding and the moisture test are included in the base price. If crack or pyrite repair is needed before application, it’s added separately, at around $1.25 per square foot.
How much does an epoxy basement floor cost?
The same price per square foot as a garage, $7.00 to $8.50, but prep can cost more if the basement has rising damp to deal with before application, which is common in older homes.
Does a custom color cost more?
Often yes, a surcharge applies and delivery can take up to a month to receive the special order. Standard catalog shades add nothing to the base price.
Does the 15-year warranty cost extra?
No, it’s included in the price of the complete system. It holds because the concrete prep (moisture test, diamond grinding) is done before every application, not because it’s sold separately.
