Epoxy Floor FAQ: Cost, Install Time, Flake vs Metallic and More

Straight answers to the questions we hear most from homeowners and businesses in New Jersey, New York and Connecticut. Epoxy Floor Now has installed resinous floors since 2015, from home garages to commercial kitchens, warehouses and labs.

How much does an epoxy floor cost in NJ?

Price depends on square footage, the condition of the concrete, the system you choose and how much prep the slab needs. A flake garage floor, a metallic finish and a commercial urethane cement floor are priced very differently. We give a free on-site estimate with the total and the price per square foot. Our epoxy floor cost guide explains what drives the price.

How long does an install take?

Most residential garages are done in 2 days. Commercial jobs are scheduled around your operations, including nights and weekends when needed.

When can I walk and drive on it?

You can walk on a garage floor the day after we finish, and drive on it 48 hours after the install. We confirm exact times for your floor.

Is epoxy the same as paint?

No. Epoxy paint from a store is a thin coat that peels under hot tires. A professional epoxy system is a thick, bonded coating built in layers over ground concrete. More in Is Epoxy the Same as Paint?

What is the difference between flake and metallic epoxy?

Flake is our standard garage system: textured, slip-resistant and great at hiding dirt. Metallic is a high-gloss, marble-like finish for basements, kitchens, showrooms and restaurants.

What is polyaspartic, and do you use it?

Polyaspartic is a fast-curing, UV-stable topcoat. Our standard garage floor uses an epoxy basecoat, a full broadcast of flake and a clear polyaspartic topcoat. See Polyaspartic vs Epoxy Garage Floors.

Do you test for moisture?

Yes, when the slab calls for it. Moisture coming up through concrete is a common reason coatings fail, so we check slab condition and test where needed before choosing the system.

What warranty do you offer?

5 to 10 years, depending on the system.

Do you do commercial and industrial floors?

Yes. We install floors for warehouses, labs, commercial kitchens, restaurants, auto shops and car dealerships, including urethane cement for wet and high-heat areas.

What areas do you serve?

Northern and Central New Jersey, Manhattan, the Bronx, Queens, Long Island, Westchester, the Hudson Valley and Greenwich, CT. We are based in Palisades Park, NJ.
