MICROSABLE

Our prices, posted.

Microcement is almost always sold "on request." We think that's pointless. Here's exactly what we charge — and why.

Floors — the rate drops as the area grows

500 sq ft and up
$16.00/sq ft

Open-plan areas, basements, retail

200 to 500 sq ft
$19.00/sq ft

Kitchens, large bathrooms

Under 200 sq ft
$23.00/sq ft

Bathrooms, entryways, powder rooms

Rates by surface

Floor and wall rates come down as the area goes up: setup, masking and cure days cost the same on 100 sq ft as they do on 800.

Project minimum

$3,900

Whatever the area, a project starts at $3,900. A small bathroom still needs setup, masking, primer, base and finish coats, sealer and cure days — three crew days, in other words. We'd rather tell you up front than waste your phone call.

Full-project discount — 10%

Three or more surfaces in one mobilization? The crew is already set up, masked in, and the machine is running. We pass 10% back on the surface portion.

10%
