Base Pricing by Project Type (2026)
| Project Type | 7-Year Warranty | Lifetime Warranty | Minimum Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Garage Floor | From $6.00/sq ft | From $6.50/sq ft | $2,900 |
| Basement Floor | From $6.00/sq ft | From $6.50/sq ft | $2,900 |
| Patio | From $6.00/sq ft | From $6.50/sq ft | $2,900 |
| Pool Deck | From $8.00/sq ft | From $9.00/sq ft | $2,900 |
Pool deck lifetime warranty pricing is higher due to the extended UV exposure requirements, exterior-grade topcoat formulation, and slip-resistant silica sand additive required for pool environments.
What's Always Included
Every StraightLineCoatings installation includes the complete system — no hidden charges for standard prep:
- Diamond grinding — industrial grinders open the concrete surface for a permanent mechanical bond
- Crack and pit repair — Penntek proprietary mender fills existing cracks and pitting before coating
- Polyurea base coat — full-thickness Penntek polyurea applied evenly to the prepared surface
- Decorative flake broadcast — generous Torginol chip broadcast to your chosen color
- Polyaspartic topcoat seal — UV-stable Penntek topcoat seals the system
- Cleanup — excess flake scraped, vacuumed, and removed
What Drives Cost Higher
Surface Condition
Heavy damage — more than 6 cracks, significant pitting, spalling, or oil contamination — requires additional prep time and material. Moderately damaged surfaces (1–6 cracks, up to 200 sq ft of pitting) are included in the base price for Lifetime warranty projects. Heavily damaged surfaces move to a custom quote.
Sidewalls (Vertical Curbs)
The vertical concrete border at the edge of your slab:
- 4 or fewer sidewalls: No cost
- 5–7" sidewalls: +$150 flat
- 8"+ sidewalls: +$250 flat
Steps
- 1–2 steps: No cost
- 3–4 steps: +$300 flat
- 5 or more steps: custom quote required
Custom Color
Standard colors from our 16-color palette are included in base pricing. Custom colors outside the standard palette add $1 per square foot.
Pool Decks
Pool deck coatings require additional exterior-grade prep, silica sand slip-resistant additive, and UV-stable topcoat formulation. This is reflected in the higher per-square-foot rate versus indoor garage floors.
7-Year vs Lifetime Warranty — What's the Price Difference?
For most homeowners planning to stay in their home long-term, the lifetime warranty is worth the difference. The 7-year warranty is a strong option for investment properties, rental units, or situations where you're less certain about long-term plans.
Both warranties cover defects in workmanship and material failure. The lifetime option additionally includes the full Penntek manufacturer warranty against UV yellowing and delamination.

Why Our Prices Are Lower Than Most Competitors
Most concrete coating companies employ salespeople who visit your home, measure the floor, and pitch you the job. That salesperson earns a commission — typically 10–12% of the total project cost — which is embedded in your quote whether you realize it or not.
We eliminated that entirely. You get your price online in 60 seconds using the same information a salesperson would gather in person. No commission. No markup for the visit. Same product, same installation, lower price.
