Concrete Coating Costs in South Jersey: What Homeowners Really Pay
If you’re wondering “How much does it cost to coat my garage, basement, patio, or driveway?” — you’re not alone. Price is the #1 question we hear.
The truth: every project is unique. While square footage plays a big role, the real price depends on things like:
Your concrete’s condition (cracks, moisture, surface prep)
The type of coating you choose (flake, metallic, polyaspartic, etc.)
Design choices (number of colors, finish complexity)
Whether repairs or resurfacing are needed
That’s why we provide typical price ranges per system so you know what most South Jersey homeowners really pay — and we back it up with a ballpark calculator below.

Why Do Prices Vary So Much?
Surface prep — Cracked or uneven concrete needs repair before coating.
Design complexity — A single-color flake floor costs less than a custom metallic swirl.
Size of project — Larger areas often bring the per-square-foot cost down.
What Affects the Final Price?
Why Some Contractors Are Cheaper:
Lower prices often mean corners are being cut:
Skipping proper surface prep
Using cheap DIY kits from big box stores
Not including MVBs
Rushing installs to complete them in one day
We take our time and use only professional-grade materials to deliver results that last.
Is It Really Worth It?
Many South Jersey homeowners ask: “Is a concrete coating really worth it compared to tile, carpet, or even replacing the concrete?”
The answer is Yes!
Coatings often last 10–20 years with proper care
They resist stains, salt, and heavy wear better than bare concrete
They boost home value and curb appeal
They cost less than replacing concrete slabs or installing luxury tile
At Solid Finish Coatings, we’re committed to clear pricing, exceptional quality, and no surprises.
