How Much Do Polyaspartic Floor Coatings Cost in 2026?
When you’re upgrading your concrete floors, one of the first questions you’ll inevitably ask is, "How much will this cost?" It's a practical question, and at 12 Point Concrete Coatings, we believe in providing clear, honest answers. As a family-owned business serving Northwest Arkansas, our goal is to help you make an informed decision that adds long-term value to your home or business.
Investing in a polyaspartic floor coating isn't just about a new floor; it's about a durable, long-lasting solution that protects your concrete and enhances your space. While cheaper options like DIY epoxy kits exist, the saying, "you get what you pay for," has never been truer.
Let's explore the real cost of polyaspartic floor coatings in 2026 and what you get for your investment.
What Is the Average Cost of Polyaspartic Floor Coatings?
In 2026, industry-wide estimates for professionally installed polyaspartic floor coatings generally range from $5 to $12 per square foot. For a standard two-car garage, homeowners can typically expect to pay between $2,500 and $7,000, depending on project conditions. While this may seem higher than traditional epoxy coatings, it's crucial to understand what's included in that price and why it's considered a superior long-term investment.
This cost reflects high-performance materials along with the extensive labor and specialized equipment required for a flawless, long-lasting finish. Unlike a simple paint job, our coating process involves multiple steps to ensure your floor is properly prepared and the coating bonds correctly to the concrete.
Key Factors That Influence the Cost
The final price of your project can vary based on several key factors.
1. The Condition of Your Concrete
The most critical factor is the preparation of the existing concrete. If your floor has extensive cracks, spalling, or heavy staining, it will require additional repair and prep work. A newer or well-maintained slab is typically less labor-intensive to coat. Our team diamond-grinds every floor to create the proper surface profile, helping ensure long-term adhesion and performance.
In Northwest Arkansas, we frequently see moisture-related issues due to clay-heavy soils and seasonal humidity swings. Homes in areas like Rogers, Bentonville, and Springdale often require additional moisture testing and, in some cases, a moisture-mitigating primer, which can affect overall project cost but is critical for long-term performance.
2. The Size and Complexity of the Area
Larger spaces require more materials and labor. We handle projects of all sizes, from residential garages to large commercial facilities. Straightforward, open areas are quicker to coat, while spaces with steps, edges, drains, or vertical surfaces require more detailed work, which can influence pricing.
3. The System and Finish You Choose
We offer a variety of colors and finishes to suit your space. Our standard flake systems are the most popular and cost-effective option, while custom color blends or decorative finishes can add visual interest. The number of layers and design complexity will affect the final cost.
Outdoor applications, such as patios and pool decks, may also require slip-resistant additives and enhanced UV-stable topcoats to handle Arkansas sun exposure and frequent rain. These performance upgrades slightly increase material costs but significantly improve safety, longevity, and color stability in exterior environments.

Polyaspartic vs. Epoxy: A Cost-Value Comparison
Epoxy coatings are often viewed as a more budget-friendly alternative, especially with DIY kits available. However, epoxy systems are more rigid, slower to cure, and more prone to issues like UV yellowing, chipping, and peeling over time, particularly in environments with temperature fluctuations or sun exposure.
Polyaspartic coatings are a higher-performance solution. They cure quickly, are significantly stronger and more flexible than epoxy, and are UV-resistant and weatherproof, making them suitable for indoor and outdoor applications. Combined with one-day installation and a 15-year warranty against issues like peeling and chipping, polyaspartic systems provide greater long-term value despite the higher initial investment.
