We size up the concrete first and pick the epoxy flooring system second. In the Limestone City that order matters, because a single street can hold slabs poured a century apart. A stone-walled cellar on Barrie Street, a 1960s carport in Calvin Park and a fresh two-car garage in Woodhaven each need a different amount of grinding, patching and moisture work.
That is why our pricing starts on your floor and not on a rate card. A moisture meter, a taped plastic sheet and a hammer tap across the slab tell us most of what we need to know. Read how Kingston Epoxy Floors runs a job, or tell us about your floor here and expect a call back.
Homes, clinics, kitchens and plants all get the same care. For businesses, we can book evenings or weekends, and those dates go into the quote.

Garage floor coating keeps winter brine, motor oil and hot-tire marks on top of the slab, where a squeegee or mop deals with them. Each garage floor coating we put down is bonded to diamond-ground concrete and sealed under a clear coat that holds its colour.

Basement epoxy flooring gives a chilly, dusty lower level a bright, sealed surface that mops dry in minutes after a spill. We fit it to family rooms, home gyms, laundry areas, hobby workshops and student rental suites.

Concrete floor repair deals with the cracks, spalls, dips and peeling paint that would print through a fresh coating. We make the slab solid first, because a new floor is only as sound as the concrete it sits on.

Polyaspartic floor coating sets up within hours, keeps its clarity under sun through an open door, and goes down on cooler concrete than standard epoxy will accept.

Commercial epoxy flooring puts a joint-free, wipe-clean surface under clinics, labs, offices and storefronts. It takes rolling carts, office chairs and the nightly mop in stride.

Commercial kitchen flooring for restaurants, cafés and food plants is a seamless resin floor that curves up the wall at a cove. Hot water, grease and sanitizer have no grout line to get into.

Industrial epoxy flooring puts thick resin armour on production floors, test labs and maintenance shops where forklifts, dropped parts and chemical drips come with every shift.

Warehouse floor coating guards distribution and storage slabs against forklift scuffing, concrete dust and spills, and it makes long aisles noticeably brighter.

Flake epoxy floors bury a blend of coloured vinyl chips in the base coat, which leaves a speckled finish that disguises grit and gives boots more grip. Kingston garages ask for them more than any other look.

Metallic epoxy floors swirl pearl pigments through clear resin for a deep, marbled look. Finished basements, home bars, salons and showrooms are where it shows best.
View Metallic Epoxy FloorsEpoxy flooring locks out what winter tracks in. Salt brine, sand and slush sit on the coating until you push them out the door.
The concrete dust is gone. A bare slab sheds a fine powder onto everything stored on it, and a sealed floor ends that.
Epoxy flooring makes lower levels feel lighter. A pale grey or beige coating bounces lamp and window light around a basement or a windowless back room.
Epoxy flooring is quick to look after. A damp mop handles a home floor, and an auto-scrubber handles a plant floor.
Epoxy flooring gives tired concrete a fresh face. Oil shadows, patch outlines and old paint disappear under colour or flakes.
Buyers and tenants take notice. A finished garage or lower level helps a Kingston listing stand out, and a bright clean shop floor impresses clients.
Big or small, every epoxy flooring project in the Kingston area runs through this list.
First we come out, measure, take a moisture reading and show you colour samples. Your quote arrives a few days later.
Install day opens with masking tape and plastic on walls and door frames. Then we diamond grind the floor with a vacuum attached to catch the dust.
Repairs come next. Cracks and pits are filled and sanded level, and the primer or base coat goes on that afternoon.
Then come the colour coat, flakes or metallic pour, and a clear topcoat picked for the traffic the floor will carry.
Last, we walk the floor with you and give you the times for walking, moving furniture back and parking.
Choose a floor type and key in the square footage for a rough Kingston-area installed range. Pass the result along and we will book a free floor check.
The ranges come from Canadian market pricing and are no substitute for a quote. Slab repairs, damp concrete and old paint push the number around, and the smallest jobs begin near $2,500.
Typical installed range
Cracks, flaking paint and damp patches can all be fixed, and each repair shows up as its own line beside the coating.
Garage floor coating is how we stop a slab from scaling. Kingston sees more than five feet of snow in an ordinary winter, and the lake keeps temperatures swinging around freezing. Salty slush drips off the car, seeps into bare concrete and freezes inside the top layer, which pops loose a little more each season.
Our garage floor coating shuts that brine out. We grind the slab with diamonds, fill the pitting and finish with a topcoat that resists hot tires. Most two-car garages in Bayridge, Cataraqui North and Amherstview take a day or two.
Basement epoxy flooring begins with a moisture reading, because plenty of older Kingston cellars were poured with nothing underneath to stop vapour. A lot of the city has just a skin of soil over flat limestone. Spring melt and heavy rain run along the top of that rock until they meet a foundation wall, and some of the dampness rises through the floor.
For basement epoxy flooring, the reading picks the primer, and a damp downtown cellar gets a primer made for that. The finish suits a TV room, a gym corner, a laundry space or a student suite a few blocks from Queen's.
Concrete floor repair comes before coating in any basement that has a newer sump pump or backwater valve. Utilities Kingston has helped thousands of homeowners add that equipment, and every install leaves a saw-cut patch in the floor. The new concrete in that patch shrinks and drinks up coating at a different rate than the old slab around it.
We sand those patches level, fill the seam where old meets new and give the repair time to dry out. Our concrete floor repair page also covers cracked garage aprons, scaled entries and coatings that are lifting.
Commercial epoxy flooring gives institutional space a jointless surface for heavy carts and constant mopping. Health care, education, defence and government drive a big share of the Kingston economy, and their corridors, labs and storage rooms wear through vinyl tile fast.
Our commercial epoxy flooring goes down in zones, often once the doors are locked, so a clinic or office stays open. Storefronts on Princess Street and the plazas along Gardiners Road get the same phased plan.
Commercial kitchen flooring keeps scalding rinse water and fryer grease out of the concrete. Downtown Kingston packs a lot of restaurants, pubs and cafés into heritage buildings, and many still cook on cracked quarry tile with crumbling grout.
Our commercial kitchen flooring wraps up the wall at a cove and pitches toward the drains. We book the install on the days you are closed, so the line is cooking again quickly.
Industrial epoxy flooring and warehouse floor coating go on far heavier than a garage system, because steel wheels and pallet jacks chew through anything thin. Kingston has fibre, aluminum, heat exchanger, boat and food plants, plus distribution buildings near Highway 401.
Production areas, labs and maintenance bays fall under our industrial epoxy flooring work. Rack aisles, docks and staging lanes fall under warehouse floor coating, with walkway striping added if you want it.
Flake epoxy floors and metallic epoxy floors bring colour and movement to a room with the same strength underneath. Flakes camouflage grit and tire tracks and add a little tooth underfoot, and they are what most Kingston garage owners choose.
Metallic floors have a deep, swirling look that suits basements, studios and boutiques. Colour choices and prices are on the flake epoxy floors and metallic epoxy floors pages.
Polyaspartic floor coating keeps curing in conditions where epoxy stalls. Standard epoxy needs concrete above about 10°C, and an unheated Kingston garage is usually colder than that by Thanksgiving.
With polyaspartic floor coating we can keep coating garages well into the cold months, and you park on the floor sooner. A surface thermometer goes on the slab each morning, and a heater comes along when it reads too low.
A professionally installed epoxy flooring system outlasts a box kit because of what happens before and during the pour. Kits rely on an acid wash, which leaves loose, chalky concrete behind. The coating in the box is thin compared to a shop-built system.
One salty winter and a few hot tires later, that thin film starts lifting where the wheels sit. We strip what is left, repair the slab and build the floor properly.
Epoxy flooring suits rental properties because it cleans up quickly between tenants. Kingston has thousands of student renters, and basement suites, laundry rooms and shared garages take a beating over an eight-month lease.
A coated floor gets scrubbed and dried in an afternoon in May, ready for the next lease. Landlords with several properties can have them priced together and done in one stretch of the summer.
Epoxy flooring cannot bond to oil. Older garages and shop floors often have years of drips soaked deep into the concrete, and a coating laid over them lets go in those spots first.
We degrease and grind those stains, then test the patch. Where oil keeps coming back, an oil-tolerant primer goes down before the base coat.
Installed epoxy flooring around Kingston usually falls somewhere from $5 to $12 per square foot. Two-car garages tend to run from about $2,400 to $6,500. Basements sit around $4 to $9 a square foot, and plant or warehouse floors around $8 to $15.
The state of the slab swings the number more than its size does. Wide cracks, old paint and damp concrete all add hours. Minimum charges sit near $2,500, and every cost shows on your quote before work is booked.
Plan on one to three days for a garage or basement. A business floor depends on its size and how many phases it is split into.
It can, once the dampness is measured. A high reading means a primer built for moist concrete, and an active leak gets fixed first.
Plain epoxy can yellow where sunlight hits it, and it wants a warm slab to cure. A non-yellowing topcoat and polyaspartic materials take care of both.
Wet gloss can be slick. Garages, entries and kitchens get a fine grit stirred into the topcoat so shoes and tires keep traction.
It costs more than floor paint and usually less than tile. Over the long life of a well-built floor, epoxy flooring is one of the cheapest ways to finish concrete.
Our epoxy flooring work covers the whole City of Kingston, from Portsmouth Village and downtown out to Cataraqui, Bayridge, Glenburnie, Elginburg and Joyceville. West of the city we go to Amherstview, Odessa and Bath. North, we cover Sydenham, Harrowsmith, Inverary and Battersea, and east we follow Highway 2 to Gananoque.
Larger epoxy flooring jobs beyond those towns are worth a call. Give us the address and we will answer on the spot.
