Pricing
Epoxy Floor Pricing and What Affects the Cost
Walker Painting has not published a price for an epoxy floor, so no number appears here. The final cost follows the slab and the finish. Moisture, existing sealers and cracks all change the prep, and the choice between high-gloss and satin, with or without decorative flake, changes the coating.
The quote for an epoxy floor also includes specific requirements. A facility that expects heavy foot traffic, wear, water or chemical spills can describe those conditions, and the estimator can speak to the materials involved.
The estimate is free, it happens on-site and it carries no obligation. Call 516-447-2732 and describe the flooring, whether it is a garage, basement, workshop, utility room or commercial space.

More detail
Epoxy Flooring: What the Service Actually Includes
Walker Painting delivers the epoxy floor service as a complete package: the assessment, the concrete prep, the primer and finish coats and the cure. The finish is a high-gloss or satin coating, and decorative flake is optional.
The company treats the slab as the base of every epoxy floor job. A concrete floor with moisture or an old sealer needs a different plan than a clean one, so the assessment comes before anything else. The high-gloss finish has a shinier appeal, and the satin finish has a softer appearance.
Where an Epoxy Floor Can Go
Walker Painting offers an epoxy floor in these spaces:
- The service covers garage flooring and basement flooring.
- It also covers workshop floors and utility rooms.
- It covers commercial flooring in offices, retail interiors, restaurants and warehouses.
- It covers light-industrial floors too.
The flooring service stays the same from one space to the next, and the finish choice follows how the floor is used. A facility in any industry can ask about the range of spaces the crew covers.
Epoxy Floor Assessment and Planning
The Slab Check
The assessment looks at moisture in the slab and at sealers already on the concrete. These two findings decide how the prep is planned.
Schedule Planning
Commercial painting proposals at Walker Painting can include night, weekend or phased scheduling, so a business owner can ask whether the same applies to an epoxy floor.
Finish Choices for an Epoxy Floor
Two finishes are offered: high-gloss and satin. Decorative flake can be added to either one.
Walker Painting also offers a free color consultation on whole-house projects, and the estimator can say whether a floor choice fits into that conversation.
Epoxy Floor Aftercare and Follow-Up
After the finish coats, the floor cures. The crew gives walk-on and drive-on times before it leaves, and those times are the guide for the first days.
Walker Painting has not published care instructions for a coated floor on this page. The phones are answered around the clock, so a question after the job can go straight to 516-447-2732.
Preparing for an Epoxy Floor
The crew handles the concrete preparation, which is included in the installation: cleaning, degreasing, profiling and crack repair. The owner prepares by deciding which space to coat and which finish to ask about.
Walker Painting has not published a move-out list for floors. The free assessment is the time to ask what to clear from the room.

It adds power washing, carpentry and repairs, color consulting and Painter For A Day. A homeowner or business owner can ask for one estimate that covers the flooring and the work around it.
