Epoxy flooring for a home in Ontario costs about CA$6.50 to CA$19 per square foot before tax in 2026, depending on the system you choose and the size and condition of the floor. A 600 sq ft basement ranges from about CA$3,510 for a solid colour floor to about CA$12,540 for a decorative metallic floor. This guide gives the real ranges from the Epoxy Boss floor cost calculator for garages, basements, porches and other rooms, and explains what changes the price.
All figures are pre-tax estimates in Canadian dollars (CAD), taken from the Epoxy Boss floor coating cost calculator in November 2026 for sound concrete with standard preparation. The final price is confirmed in a written quote after we see the slab.

What each system gives you
- Solid colour: a clean, even look and the lowest cost. Best for utility rooms, storage and budget garages.
- Full-broadcast flake: our most popular home floor. Coloured chips cover the whole base coat, hide dust and salt residue, and add light texture underfoot. See flake floors explained.
- High-build solid: thicker coats for workshops, home gyms and heavy rolling loads.
- Polished concrete: no coating to wear through; the concrete itself is ground and densified. See polished concrete vs epoxy.
- Quartz broadcast: coloured quartz sand for strong slip resistance in mudrooms, laundry rooms, porches and pool surrounds.
- Metallic epoxy: a hand-placed, marble-like finish for basements, bars and living areas. It takes three to five days, so small metallic floors carry a CA$7,000 minimum. See metallic epoxy floors.
What changes the price
Size and minimum charges
Larger floors cost less per square foot because set-up, travel and equipment are shared over more area. Small floors reach a minimum project charge: CA$2,700 for flake and solid floors on our calculator, and CA$7,000 for metallic.
Concrete condition
Hairline cracks are included in standard preparation. Wider cracks, salt pitting, old paint or glue, oil stains and damp concrete are priced as extra preparation. Basements in particular should be checked for moisture before coating; see basement floor coating and moisture.
Walls, coves and stairs
Cove base, baseboards, steps and landings add detail work and are priced by the linear foot.
Topcoat and finish options
Topcoat material, the number of coats, anti-slip texture and chip size all affect the price. Read our polyaspartic guide and urethane topcoats explained.

Frequently asked questions
How much does epoxy flooring cost per square foot in Ontario?
For homes, about CA$6.50 per sq ft for solid colour, CA$8.50 for flake, CA$12.50 for quartz and CA$19 for metallic on a 600 sq ft room, before tax.
Is epoxy cheaper than tile or vinyl in a basement?
It depends on the product you compare it with. A coated concrete floor has no seams or grout lines, is easy to clean, and is usually installed in a few days.
Why is metallic epoxy so much more expensive?
Each metallic floor is hand-placed in several coats over three to five days, with more cure time and skilled labour than a flake or solid floor.
Is the online estimate my final price?
No. It is a starting point. The written quote follows an assessment of your concrete.
