How to Bid Epoxy Garage Floors! A Detailed Guide to Everything you Need to Know to Win More Bids.

What happens here

If a client requests color flakes, an additional charge of $1.75 per square foot is applied. This fee covers the application of color flakes on the second coat while it's still wet, as well as a clear coat applied over the flakes. The clear coat is essential to seal the flakes down and provide a smooth surface, preventing a rough texture that can make cleaning difficult, especially in areas like Idaho where snow and road debris are common. The total square footage where flakes are applied is multiplied by this rate to determine the additional cost.

Goal: An extra per-square-foot charge is applied for incorporating color flakes and the necessary clear coat to achieve a smooth finish.

The color flex do need a clear coat that goes over the top of them to seal them down and to give a smooth feel to them so they're not rough. I charge $1.75 a square foot for throwing out color flex after my second coat and that includes the color coat. So you just take your square foot price that you're throwing the flex out onto or your square foot total times by a $1.75 and that will give you your flex price. When it comes to color flex, the color flex don't give that the epoxy floor this really, really smooth feel. I like to appear in Idaho because when the cars pull in in the wintertime you usually have snow built up under the cars which has road debris built in sands that come tracked in, they melt, fall on the floors, it gets and make your floors really dirty. It's really hard to squeeze you out or dust mop them out if you have a rough floor and the color flex, if you don't clear coat them, add a certain roughness to the floor and even if
