Costs Homeowners Often Miss

Line items beyond the core installed price above — ask contractors whether these are already included in their quote.

Concrete grinding / mechanical prep
The single most commonly underestimated line item — acid etching alone often isn't enough for the coating to properly bond and not peel.
$1–$2 per sq ft
Crack & pit repair
Cracks and spalled concrete need to be filled and leveled before coating; older slabs typically need more of this than newer ones.
$3–$8 per linear ft
Moisture vapor testing
A calcium chloride or RH test on slab-on-grade floors; skipping this risks coating failure from trapped moisture.
$100–$300 flat
Cove base (coating up the wall)
Running the coating 4–6 inches up the base of the walls for a finished, easy-to-clean look — common but often quoted as an add-on.
$3–$6 per linear ft
Old coating removal
Needed if you're recoating a previously painted or coated floor rather than bare concrete.
$2–$4 per sq ft

A well-prepped professional install on a stained or worn slab tends to help; a poorly prepped one (peeling, hot-tire pickup, trapped moisture) can look like a repair project to buyers and hurt perceived value instead.
