Providing a fixed price for epoxy installation is not possible without an assessment because no two projects share the same requirements. A reliable estimate for your 1,000 sq. ft. basement must be built around the specific characteristics of your space rather than a generic square-foot rate.
Several factors influence the final cost of a professional installation:
- Concrete Condition: The required surface preparation is a major cost driver. A clean, level slab requires less work than one with deep spalling, oil stains, or unevenness.
- Surface Preparation: We utilize industrial methods like dust-free diamond grinding, shot blasting, or scarifying to ensure a strong bond. If your basement has existing adhesives or glue from old carpet or tile, the mechanical removal of these materials will also affect the labor required.
- Moisture Levels: In regions like Edmonton and Alberta, we must test for moisture vapor emission (using ASTM F2170 or F1869 standards) to ensure the system will not bubble or delaminate.
- Finish Selection: Your choice of decorative finish—such as a solid color, metallic floor finishes, or decorative flakes—directly impacts material costs.
We use high-performance Ultra-brand 100% solid epoxies to ensure long-term durability. To provide you with an accurate price, we offer a free, no-obligation on-site consultation and measurement. After evaluating your space, we will deliver a detailed proposal outlining the scope of work and materials.

How do Moisture Vapor Barriers Prevent Epoxy Floor Failure?
Read More »Moisture vapor barriers prevent epoxy floor failure by forming a seamless, non-porous membrane that blocks water vapor from rising through the naturally porous concrete slab. Because concrete acts like a wick, drawing moisture from the ground, untreated slabs allow vapor to migrate upward and condense directly beneath the epoxy film. Without a barrier, this trapped […]

Why is Moisture Testing Important before Applying Epoxy?
Read More »Moisture testing is a critical first step because concrete is naturally porous, acting like a wick that draws moisture up from the ground. If this moisture is trapped under an impermeable coating without being properly addressed, it creates pressure that can cause the epoxy to blister, peel, and delaminate, leading to a total floor failure. […]

Why is a Uv Stable Topcoat Necessary for Outdoor Epoxy Projects?
Read More »A UV-stable topcoat is essential for outdoor epoxy projects because standard epoxy coatings are inherently vulnerable to ultraviolet (UV) degradation. When exposed to direct sunlight over extended periods, traditional epoxy undergoes a photochemical reaction that causes visible damage, including chalking (the development of a powdery residue on the surface) and yellowing or amber discoloration. To […]

How does Polyaspartic Compare to Epoxy for Sun Exposure?
Read More »Polyaspartic coatings are significantly more UV-stable than standard epoxy. While standard epoxy is prone to rapid UV degradation when exposed to the intense sun found in Alberta, polyaspartic formulations use aliphatic chemistry that resists yellowing and chalking at the molecular level. When comparing the two for sun exposure, we have found that polyaspartic topcoats offer […]
