What Does My Epoxy Floor Cost?
Epoxy is priced by the square foot around Rochester, and the system you pick moves the number more than anything. These are the published Rochester ranges we bid from — run your floor through the same math, then get the exact number in writing, free.
Garage Flake System
The classic: grind, base coat, full vinyl flake broadcast, clear topcoat. Rochester guides put standard flake at $4–$6 per sq ft, solid color at $3–$5, and premium flake at $6–$7. A standard two-car garage lands at $1,500–$3,500. One-car garages run about $1,200–$2,500; three-car garages $3,500–$6,500.
Metallic Epoxy
Pigments worked live on the slab — no two floors alike. Published Rochester range: $8–$22 per sq ft, with typical whole projects at $4,000–$11,000. Design complexity (colors, veining) moves you inside that band.
Solid Color Epoxy
Grind, base, topcoat — the working floor without the show. $3–$5 per sq ft in the local guides; a two-car garage typically lands $1,300–$2,200. The honest pick for workshops and utility garages.
Commercial Coatings
High-build epoxy for shops, warehouses, restaurants, and bays: $4–$10 per sq ft in the professional guides, with polyaspartic systems at $5–$12 per sq ft. Big square footage pulls the per-foot number down; chemicals, traffic, and downtime windows pull the system choice up.
What Moves the Price
Square footage — everything scales with the slab. Measure length × width; a two-car garage is usually 400–450 sq ft.
The system — solid color is the floor of the range, full flake is the middle, metallic and polyaspartic topcoats are the top.
Concrete condition — cracks, spalls, old paint or a failed DIY kit all have to be ground out or repaired before coating.
Moisture — Rochester slabs push vapor. A moisture-mitigating primer, when your slab needs one, is real money spent preventing a peeled floor.
Speed — fast-cure polyaspartic systems cost more and hand the floor back sooner. Worth it for businesses; optional for garages.
Ranges are the published numbers we bid from: HomeGuide's 2025 epoxy flooring cost guides (epoxy $3–$22/sq ft across systems; flake $4–$6; solid $3–$5; metallic whole projects typically $4,000–$11,000; commercial $4–$10), Angi's epoxy garage floor guide, and published Rochester-area installer ranges — with every calculator band checked against the published per-square-foot figures.
A note on systems: big-box DIY kits are thin, water-based coatings that sit ON the concrete; professional systems are high-solids epoxy (and polyaspartic topcoats) bonded INTO a diamond-ground slab. The materials cost more because there is more of them — and prep equipment is the other half of the difference. When you compare quotes, compare solids content and prep, not just price.
Estimate Your Floor
A two-car garage is usually 400–450 sq ft. Length × width.
Most two-car garages land at $1,500–$3,500 — if your number lands outside that, the written estimate will show you exactly why.
Metallic is priced per square foot — typical projects run $4,000–$11,000.
Solid color is the honest workhorse — grind, base, topcoat.
Commercial floors are measured on the site visit — this gets you the planning range.

Questions Rochester Homeowners Ask
How much does an epoxy garage floor cost in Rochester?
Full flake runs $4–$6 a square foot (premium blends to $7), solid color $3–$5, and metallic $8–$22 by design — veined floors run $12–$18 — in the bands our calculator uses. A standard two-car garage in flake lands about $1,500–$3,500; one-car garages run about $1,200–$2,500 and three-car garages $3,500–$6,500.
Do you charge for estimates?
No. The measure visit, the moisture test, and the written estimate are free, and the written price is the price.
Why did my DIY epoxy kit peel?
Kits are thin, water-based coatings that sit ON the concrete — and most go down over an acid-etched or just-mopped slab. Hot tires soften them and lift them. Professional systems are high-solids coatings bonded INTO a diamond-ground slab. The prep is the difference, and it is most of the job.
How long before I can park on it?
Foot traffic in about a day on most systems; cars wait longer — plan on several days, and we give you the honest number for your system and the season at the estimate. Rushing a car onto a young floor is how good floors get tire marks for life.

Garage Flake Epoxy — Byron
Garage Floor Epoxy · Byron, MN · 2 days
A Byron two-car garage, 440 square feet, went from stained bare concrete and a peeling DIY kit to a full-flake system — grind, base coat, full broadcast, polyaspartic topcoat.
Final price: $2,450
The kit I put down myself lasted one winter. These guys ground it all off and did it right — the floor wipes clean and the car comes in wet without chewing it up.
A 420-square-foot Rochester garage near the fairgrounds: oil-stained slab, a cracked control joint, and forty years of tire traffic. Ground clean, joint filled, full flake.
Final price: $2,300
They filled the crack everybody else wanted to coat over. Floor looks like a showroom and my grandkids' bikes haven't marked it yet.
A 380-square-foot Stewartville basement rec room in swirled silver-and-charcoal metallic — the family wanted a floor that reads like polished stone and wipes up like a countertop.
Final price: $5,900
Everybody who comes downstairs asks what it is. It is one of one — the swirls are ours. And spills from the grandkids just wipe up.
A 900-square-foot Kasson pole-barn workshop floor — oil, welding splatter, and a slab that had never been coated. Heavy grind, full flake, chemical-resistant topcoat.
Final price: $4,900
I work on that floor every day. Oil wipes up instead of soaking in, and I can find a dropped bolt now. Should have done it ten years ago.
Commercial Epoxy Floors · Pine Island, MN · 2 weekends
An 1,800-square-foot small-engine repair shop in Pine Island: high-build epoxy with a slip-resistant broadcast in the work bays, done over two weekends so the shop never closed a weekday.
Final price: $13,500
They worked around my schedule and the floor takes everything my shop throws at it — oil, solvent, dropped tools. Customers notice it too.
Rochester Superior Epoxy Floors coats garages, basements, workshops, and commercial concrete across Rochester and southeastern Minnesota — full-flake garage systems, one-of-one metallic floors, solid working floors, and high-build commercial coatings. Every floor starts the same way: diamond grinding, honest prep, and a price in writing before we start. Most calls start with a floor somebody has been putting up with for a while: peeling paint, hot-tire marks, dusting concrete, or a DIY kit that gave up after one winter.
Here is how it works. You call or send the form, we come measure the slab in person — moisture test included — and you get a free written estimate before anything starts. The price we write down is the price — no day-of surprises, no 'the concrete was worse than we thought' games after the grinder starts.
Floors Built for Minnesota Concrete
Concrete up here lives a hard life. Freeze-thaw works on every crack, road salt rides in on every tire all winter and eats at the surface, and spring moisture pushes up through slabs that were poured before vapor barriers were standard. An epoxy floor in Rochester is not a paint job — it is a system chosen for the slab it has to survive on, which is why the moisture test comes before the color chart.
Not sure what yours will run? The calculator near the top of this page runs your floor through the same published ranges we bid from — then call us and we will come measure and give you the free written estimate.
The full-flake system: grind, base coat, full vinyl flake broadcast, clear topcoat. $4–$6 a square foot for standard blends, premium blends to $7 — a standard two-car garage lands $1,500–$3,500.
Pigments worked live on the slab — no two floors alike. $8–$22 a square foot by design in our calculator; veined floors, the popular middle, run $12–$18. Typical whole projects $4,000–$11,000.
Cracks, spalls, old paint, and failed DIY kits ground out or repaired before coating — the step that decides whether any floor lasts.
How an Epoxy Job Runs
It starts with a free measure. We walk the slab with you, test its moisture, check for old coatings and contamination, and you hear real price ranges at the visit. Then you get the full price in writing, with the system, the prep, and the schedule named.
Coating days run clean: everything out of the space, the slab diamond-ground so the coating bonds into the concrete instead of sitting on it, cracks and spalls filled, then base coat, broadcast or metallic work, and topcoat on the schedule the system needs — not the schedule that is convenient for us.
Before the job is called done, we walk the floor with you — edges, drains, and transitions checked in daylight — and leave you the care notes for your system, including the honest cure times before cars and heavy loads come back on it.
