Your garage is more than a parking spot. It’s a workshop, a home gym, or an organized storage zone. A fresh, durable floor coating protects concrete, brightens the room, and increases resale value. Yet many Dallas–Fort Worth homeowners still ask the same question: what’s the actual cost to paint a garage? CountBricks breaks down every dollar so you can plan with precision.
1. Square Footage
Most two-car garages range from 400 – 550 sq ft. More footage means more epoxy, primer, flakes, and labor hours.
2. Surface Condition
Cracks, spalling, or oil stains require grinding and patching before any paint touches concrete. Prep can add 30 % – 50 % to the budget.
3. Coating System Chosen
• Single-part latex garage paint: lowest material cost but least durable
• Two-part epoxy kit: mid-range price, moderate lifespan
• Polyaspartic or polyurea professional coatings: highest cost, fastest cure, longest warranty
4. DIY vs. Professional Labor
Labor represents 40 % – 60 % of the final invoice when you hire pros. DIY saves that money but adds time, risk, and tool rental fees.
5. Geographic Material Pricing
CountBricks AI pulls real-time product costs from verified Dallas suppliers, so your estimate reflects today’s store shelf, not last month’s catalog.
• Entry-level latex paint: $2 – $3 per sq ft installed
• Two-part epoxy with decorative flakes: $4 – $6 per sq ft installed
• Premium polyaspartic systems: $6 – $9 per sq ft installed
For a 500 sq ft garage, that equals:
1. Latex coating: $1,000 – $1,500
2. Epoxy system: $2,000 – $3,000
3. Polyaspartic system: $3,000 – $4,500
These figures include surface prep, materials, and full-service labor when you partner with a vetted CountBricks contractor.
Traditional quotes rely on manual takeoffs and static price books. CountBricks uses live voice capture and AI to build your estimate as you walk the space:
1. Speak measurements and surface conditions—our software converts voice to data in seconds.
2. The platform auto-selects tasks (diamond grinding, crack repair, moisture test) and materials.
3. Real-time supplier APIs feed current unit costs straight into the estimate.
4. You receive an itemized digital quote plus a downloadable proposal ready for homeowner approval.
