We would rather publish the number. Below is what the market charges for every kind of epoxy floor, where our work sits inside it, and exactly what moves a quote up or down. The rate is the same whether it is a kitchen or a forty thousand foot showroom.
Search the cost of an epoxy floor and you will be told $3 to $12 per square foot. That number is real, and it is for a rolled solid color in a garage. It has almost nothing to do with a hand-poured metallic floor, and comparing them is the single most common way people end up disappointed.
Ranges compiled August 2026 from published US installer and manufacturer pricing for each system type.
Hand-poured, multi-color, worked-by-hand metallic is published across the industry at $12 to $18 per square foot. That is the exact description of what this studio does. We sit at the bottom of that band, not because the work is lighter, but because we are the ones pouring it rather than subcontracting it out.
These are the reasons two quotes for a floor that looks the same can land thousands apart. They are worth settling before you compare bids, because a cheaper number usually means one of these was left out rather than done for less.
Cracks, old adhesive, previous coatings and moisture all have to be dealt with before anything is poured. This is the biggest single swing in any quote.
Every additional color is another pass on the wet line and another chance for the floor to be wrong. Single-tone work sits at the bottom of the range.
A misted Blend and a commissioned Freestyle floor use the same material and a very different amount of the artist.
Mobilization, containment and cure time are close to fixed. Larger floors carry them better, so the per-foot number improves with size.
Bare concrete is the cheapest starting point. Tile, hardwood and existing coatings each add a removal and preparation step.
Metallic resin cures to specification only inside a controlled temperature window. Sites without working power and air conditioning cost more to make ready.
Every item below is inside the quoted rate. If you are holding a cheaper quote, this is the list to check it against, because the gap is almost always here rather than in the price of resin.
Calcium chloride and RH testing before anything is poured. Moisture is the single most common cause of a failed floor.
The slab is mechanically profiled, not acid etched. This is the step most quotes leave out and most failures trace back to.
Structural cracks routed and filled, control joints treated so they do not telegraph through the finish.
Worked on the wet line by hand. This is the part that cannot be subcontracted, scheduled tighter, or done faster.
100% solids, two-component, self-leveling. 14,000+ psi flexural strength. Co-developed with Derwin.
The layer that decides whether the floor still looks like this in ten years. Matte, satin or gloss.
Cured to spec before the space is released. Rushing this is how a floor clouds in its first season.
A metallic floor is usually chosen instead of stone. On a like for like installed basis it is competitive with materials that have seams, grout lines and something to reseal every few years.
Porous, grouted, and cold underfoot. Beautiful, and it chips.
Seamless and superb. Also a multi-week installation with a significantly higher floor.
Warm and familiar. Moves with humidity, scratches, and refinishes on a cycle.
Seamless, non-porous, no grout, finished in days. And no two floors are the same.
“We had a cheaper quote. I am glad we did not take it. Two years in, the floor looks exactly like the day it cured.”

“Everyone who walks in stops walking. That is the whole thing. It is the first thing anyone says.”
