Frequently Asked Questions About Epoxy Flooring in Toronto & the GTA

💰 How much does it cost to epoxy a garage floor in Toronto Canada?

The average cost to epoxy a garage floor ranges from $6 to $17 per square foot.

A standard 2-car garage (400–500 sq. ft.) typically costs $2,500–$8,000, depending on floor condition, prep work, and the epoxy system chosen (flake, metallic, 100% solids).

​

🕐 How long does it take to install epoxy in a garage?

Most epoxy garage floors take 2–3 days total, including prep, crack repair, priming, coating, and curing. You’ll need to wait another 1–2 days before moving items back in.

​

🧱 Can I epoxy a garage floor with cracks?

Absolutely. At Cedarwood, we professionally repair and level any cracks or uneven areas before applying epoxy — ensuring long-lasting performance and a seamless finish.

​

📈 Does epoxy flooring increase home value?

Yes! Epoxy coatings make garages and basements look cleaner, safer, and more modern. This adds value during resale, especially in high-end Toronto neighborhoods.

​

🎯 Is epoxy cheaper than other flooring types?

Yes. Compared to tile, polished concrete, or premium vinyl, epoxy is more cost-effective upfront and requires less maintenance over time.

​

🔬 Will epoxy floors crack over time?

Epoxy is incredibly durable, but under extreme pressure or poor prep, minor wear or cracks may form over years. Our professional prep & application helps prevent this.

​

⚠️ What are the downsides of epoxy flooring?

• Slippery when wet (we apply non-slip additives)

• Cannot be installed in freezing temperatures

• May fade with UV exposure outdoors (UV-stable topcoats available)

• Requires proper prep — not ideal for DIY

​

💎 What’s the difference between epoxy paint and epoxy resin?

Epoxy resin is a high-performance, two-part system used in professional coatings.

Epoxy paint is a one-part DIY product with limited durability — often peels or wears in garages.

​

🧼 What maintenance does epoxy flooring need?

Very little! Just sweep or mop as needed. Epoxy is resistant to oil, salt, water, and chemicals, making it ideal for garages, basements, showrooms, and workshops.

🧪 Are epoxy floors chemical- and heat-resistant?

Yes — our coatings resist most chemicals, oils, cleaning agents, and hot tire pickup.
 

🧍‍♂️ Is epoxy flooring safe for indoor use?

Yes. Once cured, epoxy is VOC-free, non-toxic, and safe for kids, pets, and indoor use.
 

🛠️ How long will my epoxy garage floor last?
