I just bought a new house and was wonder if $4.00/SQ ft for a full chip garage which is about 750 Sq Ft is a good price. Installer says it is 25 Mill think with a lifetime warranty.

Thanks in advance for your input

Short answer. $4 is great. I price mine at $6


Long answer depends on a few factors:
  • Where are you located?
  • is there a primer?
  • Is $4 with filling cracks, or are they extra?
  • What kind of prep is being done ( shotblast, grind, acid?
  • How long in business. Lifetime warranty is worthless. Longevity is what you want - I'm actually skeptical of lifetime warranty.
  • What does the warranty actually cover?
  • who makes the chemicals, what are the chemical properties ( solid %, UV stable are the big two)
  • 25 mil for a full broadcast seems thin. Flake will be the majority of that, what is the chemical thickness when dry.
  • Coating stem walls?
  • Can you go see some of their jobs they've done, recent, and older. - any company can show stock photography of awesome garages. Proof is in the pudding - whatever that means.

Those are a few questions off the top of my head. The more technical questions you may not know what to listen for -you can find the answers here on GJ. Though you can get a feel for the company on how they answer. If they know the answer, or they have to look into it, or sidestep it altogether.
