Floor coatings · North Bay, Ontario

Floor coating contractors serving North Bay and Nipissing since 2016.

Floor coatings in North Bay typically cost $3 to $10 per square foot, with a standard 500 sq ft residential garage running $1,500 to $4,000 for a full epoxy-and-polyaspartic system. North Bay Painting Services installs 100% solids epoxy, polyaspartic topcoats, polyurethane topcoats, and concrete sealers across a 45-mile radius from North Bay - including Callander, Corbeil, Sturgeon Falls, Powassan, and Mattawa. Every floor starts with diamond-grind concrete profiling (not muriatic-acid etching), moisture testing, and crack and spall repair, so the coating actually bonds to the slab and stays bonded. We use Benjamin Moore and Dulux products on all related wall and trim work in the same garage or shop, give you a fixed-price written quote, and back the workmanship with a 1-year written warranty. Every painter on the crew is WSIB-covered with $2M liability. Owned and operated by Ahmed Khalil, owner and lead painter, since 2016.

Epoxy + Polyaspartic Systems

Garages, showrooms, light industrial

Our default residential garage and commercial showroom build is a hybrid: a high-build 100% solids epoxy basecoat for adhesion and decorative flake retention, then a UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat for hot-tire-pickup resistance and fast return-to-service. Benjamin Moore and Dulux specifications are used on related wall and trim work in the same garage or shop bay.

100% solids epoxy - high-build, two-component, no VOC dilution
Polyaspartic topcoat - UV-stable, hot-tire-pickup resistant
Decorative vinyl flake - standard or custom blends, full or partial broadcast
Quartz broadcast - slip-resistant aggregate for showrooms and food-service

Sealers + Polyurethane Systems

Basements, interiors, sensitive environments

For unfinished basements, exposed concrete, and interior commercial floors that don't see UV or vehicle traffic, we specify penetrating concrete sealers or a low-sheen polyurethane topcoat over the epoxy basecoat. Lower odour, lower sheen, easier to wipe clean. Benjamin Moore and Dulux products handle the wall painting that's often booked alongside.

Penetrating silicate sealer - densifies and dust-proofs unfinished concrete
Topical acrylic sealer - easy-clean topcoat for budget-tier basements
Polyurethane topcoat - low-sheen, abrasion-resistant interior commercial
Two-component epoxy floor system - full system for chemical and impact resistance

A selection of what North Bay homeowners and shop owners have said about our floor coating work.

Two-car garage, full grey-and-black flake, polyaspartic topcoat. They diamond-ground the slab - no acid - and you can see the difference on the patches where the old paint used to be. Three years later, hot tires, salt, the works, still looks brand new.

Jordan T.

North Bay · Residential garage

Auto dealership showroom, 1,800 square feet of decorative quartz. Crew worked a Friday-Saturday-Sunday and we opened Monday like nothing happened. Ahmed walked the floor with me before topcoat. Best decision we made on the renovation.

Chris L.

North Bay · Auto showroom

Finished basement floor with a tan flake. Did the wall painting in Benjamin Moore at the same time. One crew, one mobilization, one final invoice. The floor handles dog claws, the kids' bikes, the works. Two years no chips.

How much does epoxy floor coating cost in North Bay?

Epoxy floor coating in North Bay typically costs $3 to $8 per square foot for a residential garage and $4 to $10 per square foot for commercial decorative or industrial systems. A standard 500 sq ft two-car garage runs $1,500 to $4,000 with a full system: diamond-grind concrete profiling, crack and spall patching, primer, 100% solids epoxy basecoat, optional decorative flake or quartz broadcast, and a polyaspartic or polyurethane topcoat. A 2,000 sq ft commercial showroom or retail floor runs $8,000 to $20,000 depending on substrate condition, decorative finish, and whether slip-resistant aggregate is added. Every floor coating quote from North Bay Painting Services is fixed-price and written - never hourly - and includes a 1-year written warranty on workmanship.

How long does a garage floor epoxy take?

A typical residential garage floor epoxy takes 2 to 3 working days on site, with a return-to-foot-traffic window of 24 hours after the topcoat and full vehicle traffic at 5 to 7 days. Day 1 is diamond-grinding the slab, vacuuming the dust, patching cracks and spalls, and priming. Day 2 is the 100% solids epoxy basecoat with optional decorative flake or quartz broadcast while the coat is wet. Day 3 is scraping loose flake, applying the polyaspartic or polyurethane topcoat, and a final cure. Cooler North Bay garage temperatures (below 10°C) extend cure time, so we schedule garage floor coatings for spring through early fall when slab temperature stays above 10°C, or use a heated garage with the door closed.

Is epoxy or polyaspartic better for my garage?

For most North Bay garages we install a hybrid system - 100% solids epoxy as the basecoat for build, adhesion, and decorative flake retention, then a polyaspartic topcoat for UV stability, hot-tire pickup resistance, and fast return-to-service. Epoxy alone is the right choice for an indoor basement, workshop, or unheated storage garage where UV is not a factor and budget matters. Polyaspartic alone is the right choice for a one-day install on a tight timeline, but it is more expensive per square foot and harder to broadcast a heavy decorative flake into. Ahmed Khalil walks every garage before specifying the system - slab age, moisture, sun exposure, and how the floor is actually used drive the choice, not a one-size template.

Can you coat a basement floor or just garages?

Yes - we coat basement floors, mudrooms, workshops, fitness rooms, playrooms, and laundry rooms across North Bay and a 45-mile radius, not just garages. Basements get a different system than garages: we dust-test for moisture first, often specify a penetrating silicate concrete sealer or a moisture-tolerant epoxy primer, then a 100% solids epoxy with a low-sheen polyurethane topcoat. Decorative flake is optional in basements but very popular for finished family rooms and home gyms. For unfinished basement slabs that just need dust control and a clean wipe-down surface, a single-coat penetrating sealer at $3 to $4 per square foot is usually all that's needed. We can also coat exposed garage and basement concrete that has never been sealed.

How long will an epoxy floor last?

A properly prepped and topcoated epoxy floor in a North Bay residential garage lasts 10 to 15 years before any meaningful wear shows, and a commercial epoxy with a polyurethane or polyaspartic topcoat in a showroom or light-industrial space lasts 7 to 12 years under normal use. The single biggest factor in floor coating life is preparation - we use diamond grinders and shot blasters to mechanically profile the concrete (CSP 2 to CSP 3), not muriatic-acid etching, because mechanical prep is the only way an epoxy will lock into the slab and not peel. Hot-tire pickup, salt, road grit, and forklift traffic shorten life - that's why we always specify a UV-stable polyaspartic or polyurethane topcoat over the epoxy basecoat. Every floor coating we install is backed by our 1-year written workmanship warranty.
