How Much Does Garage Floor Coating Cost in Fargo?
If you’re researching garage floor coating prices in Fargo, you’re probably asking the same question as many other homeowners: “How much does it cost to coat a garage floor?”

What Determines the Cost of Garage Floor Coating?
What Are the Options for Concrete Floor Coating in North Dakota?
Least Expensive:
DIY coatings from your Big-box store
- Almost always epoxy-based
- Epoxies are larger molecules that do not sink into the concrete.
- Intended for very short-term “spruce up” or to prepare a home for sale.
Still Pretty Cheap:
Professional Epoxy
- Large molecule that sits on top of the surface.
- Very hard, but very brittle – microscopic cracks develop easily.
- No UV resistance – yellows and fades with time.
- Easier to install than other options.
More Expensive
Polyurea
- Smaller molecule, but minimal penetration into concrete surface due to “crosslay”.
- Very flexible when new.
- Highly susceptible to UV damage.
- Become brittle when UV exposed.
- Professional installation required.
Also More Expensive:
Polyaspartic
- Small molecule with excellent surface penetration and adhesion.
- Moderately flexible, resistant to cracking.
- 100% UV resistant (unless blended with Polyurea – check materials data sheet for 100% Aliphatic composition).
- Professional installation required.
Blends
- To save money, some companies use the best product — Polyaspartic — for the topcoat only. They still use epoxy or polyurea for the basecoat.
- Epoxy base coat with Polyaspartic on top: This adds flexibility to the top layer, but the adhesion issues epoxies have will still be present.
- Polyurea base with Polyaspartic on top: This prevents yellowing from UV rays, BUT the Polyaspartic top coat, while UV resistant itself, DOES NOT provide UV protection to the polyurea below. So, the base polyurea will degrade over time. Adhesion is also not as good with Polyureas, and applying a Polyaspartic top coat does nothing to improve that.
