Epoxy Floor Coating Business
A garage floor job in 2 days earns what most service calls make in a week
Bottom line
Strong cash-flow candidate with manageable operations.
Epoxy floor coating businesses apply durable resin-based finishes to garage floors, warehouses, commercial kitchens, gyms, and showrooms. A standard 2-car residential garage takes 2 days, charges $1,800–$3,500, and leaves behind margins of 40–60%. The material costs roughly $300–$500; the customer pays $2,000+. Commercial jobs — factory floors, hospital corridors, car dealership showrooms — scale the ticket to $5,000–$50,000+. Concrete Craft franchise data shows operators generating $720K–$1.4M after their first few years.

How It Works
Day 1: surface prep — diamond grind the concrete floor, clean, repair cracks and spalls. Day 2: apply base coat, broadcast decorative flakes or metallic pigment, seal with clear topcoat. Residential jobs (2-car garage, 400–600 sq ft) charge $1,800–$3,500. Polyaspartic coatings command a premium over standard epoxy. Commercial work is quoted by the square foot ($2–$8/sq ft depending on complexity and spec). Most operators run 2–3 residential jobs per week at first, then layer in commercial as reputation grows.
