Your home is one of your most valuable assets; safeguarding it with fresh paint or a new coating system is crucial. However, homeowners frequently ask, “How much does it cost to coat my floor?” and “What exactly am I paying for?” At Floor Shield, we’re here to provide the answers you need to be confident in your potential investment.
We want to be transparent in the evaluation of our prices compared to the competition, though. At the end of the day, it’s better for both us and you to know everything that separates Floor Shield from other brands, even if we must tackle our downsides.
Before we compare costs, you should understand your coating options. Epoxies are the tried-and-true coating system and have been around for many decades. There are many good things about epoxies:
At Floor Shield, we manufacture epoxies, but when it comes to your garage, patio, basement, or pool deck, there are much better options.
Usually, epoxies are a multi-day installation. They are not UV stable (meaning they yellow) and they typically have a strong, long-lasting odor.
Like epoxies, polyureas are not UV-stable, and based on independent lab tests, they have 40% less adhesion than Floor Shield Polyaspartic. Adhesion is the most important aspect of any coating.
Polyaspartics are the best technology and fastest-growing segment of the concrete coatings industry. Floor Shield Polyaspartics can be installed in just a few hours, are UV stable, and have zero VOC’s (Volatile Organic Compounds).
Let’s talk about the cost.

There are many variables that go into the total cost of coating your concrete floor. The variations in cost depend on factors such as:
The main reason for Floor Shield's price range lies in its resilience and convenience.
It should be noted that although the initial investment in Floor Shield is higher than most epoxies and polyureas, you’ll save more in the long term, especially if your concrete floor has any parts exposed to the sun. Unlike epoxies and polyureas, which amber and fade when exposed to UV rays, Floor Shield retains its color and gloss.
Going the DIY route will save you money, but you’re sure to encounter problems with the application when a professional is not present. You’ll also lose out on an industrial-grade product.
The installation of Floor Shield has a thorough process of steps to ensure your investment is secure.
This comprehensive installation process ensures that your concrete floor is properly prepared, coated, and protected, resulting in a high-quality finished product.

Some rapid-fire answers to other potential questions you may have:
While Floor Shield starts out between $6 – $9 per square foot, it’s important to consider our product as an investment toward many years of new-looking flooring.
