Concrete preparation, durable finishes and clear project quotes.
Priority One Epoxy Flooring installs epoxy, full-flake and polyaspartic floor coatings for Coquitlam garages, shops, commercial properties and strata spaces. We assess your concrete, prepare it mechanically and match the repairs, texture and coating system to your traffic, cleaning routine and schedule.
Project experience & local business membership
Our commercial coating portfolio includes 8,500 sq. ft. of completed work for Coquitlam Lake Reservoir, an infrastructure-related facility project with preparation and long-term durability central to the work.
Priority One Epoxy Flooring is listed in the Chamber's business directory. You can check our membership, flooring services and contact details directly with the Chamber.
For your project, we explain the proposed surface preparation, repairs, coating build and handover requirements in an itemized quote.
Choose the service for your space
Full-flake finishes for vehicle storage, tools and everyday garage use. Preparation, crack repairs and a suitable topcoat help create a floor that is easier to clean and suited to tire traffic. We plan texture around wet entries and available daylight.
Explore garage floor coatingsCoatings for bike rooms, storage rooms, utility areas and vehicle routes, with access and reopening planned around residents. Parkades and ramps are assessed for traction, drainage, slab movement and any waterproofing requirements.
Explore parkade and traffic coatingsSolid-colour, flake or quartz systems for shops, clinics, studios and working commercial interiors. We match the finish to presentation, foot traffic, vehicle use, spills and cleaning products; cove base can be included where the space requires it.
Explore commercial epoxy flooringResin floors for rolling loads, equipment and operational wear. The scope can include damaged concrete repairs, wear-zone reinforcement and line marking, with coating thickness and downtime matched to actual traffic.
Explore warehouse floor coatingsWe assess projects throughout Coquitlam, including Burke Mountain, Westwood Plateau, Ranch Park, Maillardville, Austin Heights, Burquitlam, Town Centre and the United Boulevard corridor.
Budget & scope
$8–$12 CAD per sq. ft.
Many garage projects fall within this published planning range. The concrete condition, repairs, existing coating removal, moisture requirements and selected finish determine the final price.
These projects are priced from the preparation, floor area, coating thickness, traffic duty, details and access plan. Parkade waterproofing, drain work, cove base and phased installation need their own defined scope.
Garage budget example: At $8–$12 per sq. ft., a 400 sq. ft. floor gives a planning allowance of approximately $3,200–$4,800 CAD before applicable taxes. Your quote confirms the actual preparation, repairs, coating layers and any additional work.
For a useful estimate, send your approximate dimensions, photos of cracks and old coatings, intended use and preferred dates. We confirm the assessment required and explain the proposed system before pricing the installation.
Appearance & performance
Epoxy can form the base of a floor system, while a compatible polyaspartic topcoat provides a fast-curing, UV-resistant finish. We choose the complete build from the slab condition and use of the space.
| System | Common applications | What we plan |
|---|---|---|
| Full-flake resin floor | Garages, workshops and utility rooms | Flake blend, coverage, surface texture and compatible clear topcoat. |
| Solid-colour epoxy | Commercial interiors, shops and selected warehouse areas | Wear layer, traffic, chemical exposure and maintenance requirements. |
| Quartz broadcast | Service bays and areas needing more surface texture | Aggregate, sealing, traction and practical cleanability. |
| Urethane cement | Demanding wet-use, washdown and production areas | Heat, cleaning chemicals, moisture, thickness, drains and transitions. |
| Traffic-bearing membrane | Parkades, ramps and decks with waterproofing requirements | Slab movement, crack and joint details, drainage and vehicle wear. |
Colour and sheen affect appearance; aggregate and topcoat selection affect texture and cleaning. We review wet footwear, tire traffic and slope when planning traction.
For suspended parkades or decks, a specified waterproofing membrane may be required. This needs a separate assessment of movement, drainage and detailing before choosing the traffic finish.
Ask to compare finish samples and the proposed coating layers before approving the work.
Preparation before coating
We review old coatings and contamination, then diamond grind or use the preparation method required by the selected system to create a suitable concrete profile.
Cracks, spalls and damaged edges are assessed before coating. Moving joints and structural cracks need appropriate detailing so movement is accounted for in the floor design.
Moisture assessment guides primer or mitigation selection within product limits. Active leaks, drainage problems and hydrostatic pressure need separate diagnosis before coating.
Below-grade rooms, vehicle entries and sloped access deserve particular attention to water sources and traction. During installation, we check the conditions needed for application and cure, including concrete temperature and condensation risk.
From assessment to handover
Share the location, floor area, photos, intended use and timing. We review the slab, access and any operating constraints.
Your quote sets out preparation, repairs, coating layers, finish, exclusions and the installation plan.
We prepare the concrete, complete the agreed repairs and apply the specified system with the required conditions and recoat intervals.
We explain when foot traffic, vehicles and cleaning can resume, along with care instructions and any applicable written warranty terms.
Common project questions
Our published garage planning guide is $8–$12 CAD per sq. ft. Final pricing depends on preparation, repairs, existing coatings, moisture requirements, finish and access. An itemized quote confirms the complete scope and applicable taxes.
Yes. A compatible UV-resistant polyaspartic topcoat can be used over a decorative flake system. We select the primer, base layers and topcoat together for the concrete and operating conditions.
Yes. We assess traffic, slope, traction, drainage, joints and waterproofing requirements. Suspended slabs may need a specified traffic-bearing membrane, with installation phased around resident access.
The moisture source and test results need to be assessed first. A suitable mitigation system may be an option within its product limits. Active water ingress or drainage problems need to be resolved as part of the wider project.
Yes. We assess the existing coating, adhesion, contamination and concrete condition before specifying removal, mechanical preparation and repairs for the new floor.
Many garage installations take around two to three days, depending on preparation, repairs and the selected build. Foot traffic, vehicle use and full cure have different requirements; we confirm the handover schedule for the products and site conditions.
Yes. Aggregate and texture can be selected for the conditions of use. We balance traction with cleanability and discuss maintenance, since water, oil and debris still affect footing.
Send your Coquitlam address, approximate floor dimensions, photos of the surface and damaged areas, intended use and preferred dates. For strata or commercial work, include access limits, plans and any existing specifications.
