Epoxy Flooring in New Westminster, Installed for BC's Climate
In New Westminster BC, epoxy flooring costs between $5 and $18 per square foot, with most residential garage floors in the $2,000 to $4,000 range complete. New Westminster is Metro Vancouver's most compact city and its oldest: BC's original capital. We install epoxy and polyaspartic floor systems across the city: Queen's Park heritage home garages, Uptown strata buildings, Sapperton mixed-use spaces, and Queensborough industrial floors.
New Westminster's age is a defining factor for epoxy work here. Many Queen's Park heritage homes were built before 1940, and their garages reflect the construction standards of that era: no sub-slab vapour barriers, rougher concrete profiles, and often previous coatings or paint that must be fully removed before a new system is applied. Diamond grinding is non-negotiable on every New Westminster job. We perform ASTM moisture testing as standard, as older slabs in this city frequently show high vapour emission rates.
Queensborough, New Westminster's island peninsula bounded by the north and south arms of the Fraser River, is home to a significant industrial and light-manufacturing corridor. Queensborough floors are often specified for heavier use than residential systems: higher film builds, slip-resistant aggregates, and in some cases chemical-resistant topcoats. All work meets WorkSafeBC standards.

How We Install Epoxy Floors in New Westminster
New Westminster has the oldest housing stock in Metro Vancouver, so many floors here start with removing whatever was put down before. The sequence below is how we handle it.
Heritage Slabs and Moisture in New Westminster
New Westminster sits on a ridge above the Fraser River, but many residential areas (particularly the lower streets of Glenbrook North and Brow of the Hill) have garages that are partially or fully below grade. Below-grade garages are consistently the highest-risk category for moisture vapour emission. In a city where much of the building stock predates modern vapour barrier requirements, thorough moisture testing is not optional.
Queen's Park is New Westminster's best-known heritage neighbourhood, with homes dating back to the early 1900s. These properties often have detached garages or carriage houses built on slabs poured without proper drainage or vapour protection. The BC Building Code requirements for sub-slab vapour barriers were not standardised until the 1990s.
Queensborough sits on a Fraser River island at low elevation, with moisture dynamics similar to Richmond and Delta. Industrial slabs in Queensborough should be moisture-tested before any coating is specified. We follow NRC concrete performance guidance in selecting moisture-tolerant systems for Fraser River delta locations.
