Floor Coating Guides

Practical guides to planning a garage, basement or commercial floor coating in the Greater Toronto Area. Every price comes from a named Canadian contractor and every count comes from this site’s own dataset of Toronto companies, so you can trace each figure back to where it came from.

• Where the GTA's floor coating companies actually work from

  This index spans 59 areas of the Greater Toronto Area and lists 221 floor coating companies, yet 22 of those 59 areas contain no listed company whatsoever.

• What a directory can and cannot tell you about a floor coating company

  This directory lists 221 floor coating firms serving the Greater Toronto Area. Among them, 199 list a website, 215 list a phone number, 174 list a street address, and not one lists an email address.

• The slab prep that decides whether a coating lasts

  GLI Epoxy Flooring and Toroo Epoxy Coatings each identify surface preparation, which means diamond grinding or shot blasting, as the largest cost factor in an epoxy job.

• What a Toronto epoxy floor quote should itemize

  Four GTA contractors post double-garage figures by name, and the ranges do not line up neatly: Toroo Epoxy Coatings lists $1,500 to $3,000, Armour Guard lists $1,600 to $4,000, Epoxy Dudes lists $3,000 to $4,000, and SurfacePro Epoxy Flooring lists $3,800 to $6,800 or more.

• Coating a garage floor in a Toronto winter

  Armour Guard states that epoxy resin generates heat at about 55 degrees Fahrenheit, or 13 degrees Celsius, and under that temperature contractors have to pre-warm the concrete before coating.
