Premium floor coating systems for West Vancouver garages, lower-level spaces, and feature floors — luxury metallic finishes and moisture-aware prep for British Properties, Ambleside, and Dundarave homes.
West Vancouver is BC's most affluent municipality — and its garages reflect that. British Properties three-car garages, Ambleside heritage homes with large lower-level spaces, Dundarave oceanfront properties with polished interiors. West Van homeowners don't just want a sealed floor — they want a finished space that matches the quality of the rest of the home.
We install metallic epoxy, high-gloss solid systems, and polished concrete for West Vancouver's residential market. Every installation begins with diamond grinding and moisture testing — critical on the older slab stock common to West Van's 1960s–1980s housing. Many of these slabs were poured without modern moisture barriers beneath them, and the North Shore's ocean proximity and elevated annual rainfall create conditions where moisture vapour emission through older concrete is common.
We test every West Vancouver slab for MVER before specifying any system. A moisture-tolerant primer rated for up to 25 lbs per 1,000 sq ft per 24 hours is applied as a standard first coat where readings indicate it's needed. This step is what separates a floor that lasts 15 years from one that blisters and peels within 18 months on an older West Van slab.
In 2026, epoxy flooring in West Vancouver BC costs $6–15 per square foot. We provide itemized written quotes before any work begins — no surprises at billing.
Three-dimensional metallic floor systems for West Vancouver garages, lower-level living spaces, and feature areas. Custom marbled finishes in silver, charcoal, bronze, and ocean-tone palettes — particularly popular in British Properties renovations. UV-stable topcoat prevents yellowing in sun-exposed garage environments.
From $12 / sq ftHigh-gloss solid colour and flake systems for West Vancouver's oversized garages. Three-coat systems with moisture-tolerant primer, 100% solids epoxy base, and polyaspartic topcoat. Common in British Properties, Chartwell, and Cypress Park three-car garages where finish quality is as important as durability.
From $7 / sq ftMechanical polishing of existing concrete for lower-level living areas, wine cellars, and open-plan West Van interiors. No coating to peel — the slab itself becomes the finished floor. Highly durable, minimal maintenance, and the cleanest modern aesthetic available. Popular in Ambleside heritage renovations.
From $8 / sq ftUV-stable, fast-curing polyaspartic systems for West Vancouver garages where the door faces south or west and UV exposure is significant. Holds its colour significantly longer than standard epoxy and returns to vehicle traffic in 24 hours. Applied standalone or as a topcoat over metallic or solid epoxy base.
From $8 / sq ftWest Vancouver's older housing stock frequently has below-grade slabs with elevated moisture vapour emission. We test before every installation and apply moisture-tolerant primer where required. Available in flake, solid, and metallic finishes for finished lower-level spaces used as home offices, gyms, or recreation rooms.
From $7 / sq ftRemoving peeling paint, failed DIY epoxy, or worn concrete sealer from existing West Vancouver slabs. We diamond-grind to bare concrete, test for MVER, repair cracks common in older North Shore slabs, and install a new professional system. Most West Van failures are moisture-related on pre-1990 slabs.
From $7 / sq ftWest Vancouver's housing stock skews older than many Metro Vancouver municipalities. Significant portions of Ambleside, Dundarave, and lower British Properties were developed in the 1950s–1980s, when residential concrete was frequently poured over inadequate sub-base with minimal moisture mitigation beneath the slab.
Ocean proximity compounds this. West Vancouver's coastal position — particularly in Ambleside, Dundarave, and along the Marine Drive corridor — means salt air humidity is a constant presence. Combined with the North Shore's elevated annual rainfall, many West Van basement and garage slabs show MVER readings well above the 3 lbs per 1,000 sq ft per 24-hour threshold that standard epoxy requires.
Applying standard epoxy to these slabs without a moisture-tolerant primer is the most common reason epoxy fails on older West Van properties. We have seen floors delaminate within 12 months on 1970s West Van slabs where this step was skipped. We test every slab and document results before specifying a system.
For commercial projects and any installation where chemical resistance standards apply, we follow WorkSafeBC surface preparation guidelines and meet BC Building Code requirements for floor coating systems.
In West Vancouver BC, professional epoxy flooring costs $6–15 per square foot. West Van projects often run toward the higher end due to larger garage footprints and older slabs requiring more prep. All quotes itemized before work begins.
