Frequently Asked Questions
How much does epoxy garage floor coating cost in Toronto?
Most garage floor projects run from $6 to $12 per square foot, depending on slab condition, garage size, and the finish you choose. We provide a free quote after assessing the space in person.
Can a polyaspartic garage floor handle heavy vehicles?
Yes. Polyaspartic garage floor coatings are built to handle heavy loads and are commonly used in commercial and fleet settings. They resist the weight of vehicles and equipment well beyond what a typical residential garage sees.
How do I clean and maintain an epoxy garage floor?
Cleaning a polyaspartic or epoxy garage floor is simple. Regular sweeping or a quick mop with a neutral cleaner keeps it looking new. Spills should be wiped up promptly to prevent staining, especially oil or antifreeze.
Can I customize the look of my garage floor?
Yes. Custom garage flooring options include a wide range of colours and finishes, from decorative flakes to metallic pigments. The final look can match your style or your garage’s actual use.
Why do older Toronto garages need more prep work?
Many garages in Scarborough, Etobicoke, and East York date back to the postwar building boom. They have absorbed decades of freeze-thaw stress, road salt, and old coatings. Diamond grinding and moisture testing matter more in these garages than in newer builds.
Does commuting on Highway 401 or the DVP affect my garage floor?
It can. Salt and brine tracked in from major routes like Highway 401, the DVP, and the Gardiner build up faster in garages used for daily commuting. That repeated exposure is one of the biggest reasons Toronto garage floors crack and stain sooner than expected.
Is GLI Epoxy Flooring licensed and insured?
Yes. We are a licensed, insured epoxy garage floor contractor, and qualifying installations are backed by a warranty. Every project is completed by our own crew rather than subcontracted out.
How long does garage floor coating installation take?
Most garage projects take one to two days depending on prep needs. Light foot traffic is fine after 24 hours, and vehicles can return after 72 hours, with full cure taking about a week.
