West Vancouver, BC · Garage & Business Floor Coatings
Garage, Commercial & Strata Floors Built Around Your Concrete
Priority One Epoxy Flooring installs epoxy, full-flake and resin flooring for West Vancouver garages, workshops and commercial interiors. We assess the slab, moisture, repairs and daily use before recommending the finish. For strata parkades, we also review traffic coating and waterproofing requirements. See our local garage project below and book a free site assessment.
Experience and completed-floor totals reflect company-wide work across BC.
Our Work in West Vancouver
This West Vancouver residential project shows a full-flake finish in the garage and an adjoining interior area. The photographs show the floor beside existing cabinetry, at the garage entrance and around bathroom fixtures. These are three views of one project, giving you a closer look at the finish and perimeter details.
Ask to see finish samples during your assessment. Colour, sheen and texture can look different under your property's lighting.
Start with the purpose of the floor. Vehicle parking, a shared building area and a customer-facing interior need different preparation, texture and coating specifications.
Full-flake, quartz and solid-colour finishes can suit vehicle parking, storage and workshop use. We review tire exposure, oil contamination, entrance traction and the condition of the existing concrete.
Compare garage floor coating optionsParkades, ramps, utility rooms and amenity spaces are assessed by zone. Where waterproofing or movement accommodation is required, the specification may call for a traffic-bearing membrane with suitable joint and drain details.
Explore parkade traffic coatingsFor shops, studios, clinics and office support spaces, balance appearance with cleaning, chair and cart traffic, spills and reopening needs. Entrances may need a different texture from dry display or work areas.

A starting budget range for many garage coating projects. Preparation, repairs, moisture treatment, finish selection and access can change the final price.
This is a planning range, not a fixed price for every floor. Confirm inclusions and any minimum project charge in your quote. Commercial interiors and strata parkades are priced to their own scope, especially where waterproofing, drainage details or phased access are needed.
Request a West Vancouver Flooring QuoteEpoxy and polyaspartic describe resin materials; flake and quartz describe broadcast finishes. A floor can combine a primer, epoxy base, decorative flakes and a compatible polyaspartic wear coat. Compare the full system, including preparation and cure requirements.
| Option | Where it may fit | Key selection points |
|---|---|---|
| Full-flake resin floor | Garages, workshops and selected shared areas | Broadcast coverage, vehicle use, topcoat, sheen and entrance traction |
| Solid-colour epoxy | Commercial interiors, utility rooms and support spaces | Coating thickness, wear, cleaning products and surface condition |
| Quartz broadcast finish | Areas needing a specified textured surface | Texture, cleaning equipment, drainage and wet-use conditions |
| Polyaspartic or urethane wear coat | A compatible topcoat where abrasion, light exposure or cure schedule matters | Product compatibility, UV performance, application conditions and reopening limits |
| Traffic-bearing membrane | Parkades and decks with specified waterproofing requirements | Movement, joints, cracks, drains, perimeter details and vehicle traffic |
For sunlight at garage doors or glazed openings, ask about the UV performance of the complete system. A UV-resistant clear topcoat does not automatically stop an underlying exposed epoxy layer from changing colour. Exterior surfaces need a separate review of weather exposure, drainage and movement.
Loose paint, weak surfaces, sealers and oil can undermine adhesion. We assess what needs removal, then mechanically prepare the concrete to the selected system's requirements.
A dry-looking slab can still need moisture testing. Water entering at a garage door, perimeter or drain is reviewed separately; a floor coating alone does not resolve an ongoing water source.
Where a garage entrance or ramp slopes, texture must suit wet footwear, vehicle traffic and cleaning. Check ponding and existing drainage before coating; the finish itself does not change the slab's slope.
Spalls and damaged edges need appropriate repair. Active cracks and moving joints need their own detail. Agree on transitions beside steps, cabinetry, doors and adjacent flooring before work starts.
Review the concrete, intended use, finish samples, access and timing. Set out the preparation, repairs and coating system in the written proposal.
Protect adjacent finishes, remove unsuitable coatings and mechanically prepare the surface. Complete agreed repairs and confirm substrate conditions before coating.
Install the required primer, base coats, broadcast finish and compatible topcoat. Complete agreed edge, joint, cove or line-marking details.
Provide reopening guidance for walking, parking, equipment placement and cleaning. Explain suitable cleaners and routine care for the installed finish.
Application time and full cure are different. Product selection, slab temperature, humidity and repairs influence the schedule. Fast-curing options may shorten closures, but parking and cleaning should follow the specified cure requirements.
For strata or occupied business spaces, plan resident notices, vehicle relocation, permitted working hours, ventilation and work zones before setting the start date. Phasing depends on the layout and access available at the property.
We assess properties in Ambleside, Dundarave, the British Properties, Chartwell, Caulfeild, Gleneagles, Horseshoe Bay and the Park Royal area. Tell us whether the work involves a private garage, strata property or business interior, and share any access limits, sloped approaches or building-management requirements.
For shared or leased property, confirm the owner's or strata's approvals and permitted working hours before installation is scheduled.
Many garage coating projects fall within an $8–$14 CAD per sq ft planning range. Concrete condition, coating removal, repairs, moisture treatment, system choice and access affect the final price. A written site-specific quote should confirm the scope, exclusions, taxes and any minimum charge.
Yes. Polyaspartic products can be used within a suitable garage system, including as a compatible topcoat over a flake finish. We select the complete build around the concrete, vehicle use, light exposure and required cure schedule.
Often, after assessment and the appropriate preparation. Loose paint, contaminated surfaces and damaged concrete may need removal or repair. Active cracks and moving joints require separate detailing rather than simply coating over them.
A standard epoxy coating should not be assumed to waterproof a parkade. Where waterproofing is needed, a specified traffic-bearing membrane and suitable crack, joint, drain and perimeter details may be required. The assessment should establish those requirements first.
Texture and aggregate are selected around the slope, water exposure, vehicle use and cleaning needs. No finish eliminates slipping. Drainage and water entry need their own review because a coating alone does not correct the underlying slope or water source.
The selected products and site conditions determine the waiting period. Foot traffic, vehicle traffic, equipment placement and full chemical resistance can have different cure milestones. Confirm parking and cleaning times before work starts.
Send the West Vancouver property location, approximate floor area, current photos, intended use and preferred installation window. Include the garage entrance, cracks, old coatings, steps and drains where applicable. A site assessment is needed to confirm the final preparation and scope.
Show us the concrete and tell us how the space is used. We can discuss finish samples, preparation, repairs, pricing and a practical installation schedule.
