FAQs
Good questions.
Straight answers.
Understand the scope before choosing a finish or comparing a quote.
How much does a garage floor cost?
Illawarra single garages up to 20 m² start from $2,290 and doubles up to 36 m² from $3,490, including GST. Sydney growth suburbs and the Southern Highlands start from $2,490 and $3,690 respectively. The final quote depends on the concrete, preparation, finish and access, and is subject to inspection.
Will Gautham be on site?
Yes. Vantage Coatings is owner-run, and Gautham is on site for every job. You can discuss the preparation and finish directly with the person doing the work.
Can you coat an existing painted floor?
We inspect the existing coating and concrete first. Old coating removal and repairs can affect the preparation, price and schedule. We explain these in the written quote.
How soon can I walk or park on the floor?
There is no single cure time for every coating. We give you walk-on and vehicle-use instructions for the selected system, based on its product data sheet and site conditions. Do not use the floor before the advised cure time.
What warranty do you provide?
Vantage offers 5-year workmanship cover for garages and covered alfresco or patios, and 3-year workmanship cover for driveways, paths and exposed areas. It covers peeling, delamination, bubbling, blistering or curing failures caused by our preparation, mixing or application. Full terms and exclusions apply; the final warranty document is awaiting legal review before launch.
Can I try colours before deciding?
Our Colours page shows real finished floors and links to APC’s official Colour Studio information. Use APC’s information to explore options, then confirm your colour choice with physical samples.
What happens if you find a hidden concrete problem?
We stop and discuss it with you before proceeding. We explain the issue and agree any change to scope or price rather than carrying on without your approval.
Do you review another installer’s quote?
Yes. Send the written quote with your enquiry. We compare the preparation, layers, topcoat, warranty and scope, then explain the differences. After inspection, we can tell you whether we can match it; there is no automatic price-match promise.
Tell us about your floor.
Share the space, suburb and a few photos. We’ll discuss the next step and confirm the scope after inspection.
