Surface Size
Square footage matters, but it is not the whole price. A small surface with heavy repairs can take more time than a larger, cleaner slab.
Pricing Guide
The cheapest coating quote is not always the least expensive floor. Pirate Cove Epoxy prices projects around surface size, concrete condition, preparation, coating system, finish type, and the amount of repair needed before the coating goes down.

Published pricing ranges
These planning ranges reflect typical projects and may change with material costs, surface conditions, and project requirements.
| Service | Pricing / Average Ticket |
|---|---|
| Garage Coatings | $2,400–$2,700 average; about $6 per sq ft |
| Pool Deck Coatings | $5,500 average |
| Metallic Epoxy | About $12 per sq ft; projects typically total $4,000–$20,000 |
| Commercial Coatings | About $5.50 flake; $10.50 metallic |
| General Range | $6–$11 per sq ft |
The variables behind the number
Square footage matters, but it is not the whole price. A small surface with heavy repairs can take more time than a larger, cleaner slab.
Cracks, peeling paint, old coatings, moisture concerns, and spalling all affect prep. Coatings bond to prepared concrete, not wishful thinking.
A full-flake garage floor, slip-conscious pool deck, metallic epoxy floor, and commercial system each use different materials and labor steps.
Tight access, occupied commercial spaces, coastal properties, and weather-sensitive exterior work can change how the job is staged.
A warranty-backed professional system costs more than a DIY kit because the prep, product, and follow-up carry real responsibility.
Service pricing notes
A typical garage coating is often priced around the size of the garage, the condition of the slab, and the chosen flake blend. Projects average $2,400–$2,700, but a cracked, painted, or badly stained slab may require more prep.
Pool deck pricing depends on square footage, texture, drainage, edge conditions, existing coatings, and how much repair is needed. Projects average about $5,500.
Metallic epoxy is a decorative system, not a basic utility floor. Price reflects surface prep, color planning, materials, application skill, and the time needed to create a clean design.
Commercial pricing depends on traffic, downtime, cleaning needs, square footage, and finish type. Flake and metallic commercial systems are priced differently because the materials and installation time are different.
Cheap quote warning
A lower price often means lower-grade products, skipped grinding, no real warranty, and nobody coming back if the floor fails. A coating installed over poorly prepared concrete may look fine on day one and peel when a hot tire parks on it.
That does not mean every project needs the most expensive system. It means the recommendation should match the surface instead of chasing the lowest number.
