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.

Venetian plaster

The finish sets how far the surface is burnished, and therefore how long it takes to lay. That is where the price difference lives — not in the material.

Walls
Marmorino; Grassello and Veneziano at a premium
from$14
per sq ft
Ceilings
Overhead application
from$18
per sq ft

Marmorino included. Grassello +$4/sq ft, Stucco Veneziano +$8/sq ft. Project minimum $2,600. All about Venetian plaster

Prices shown are before GST (5%) and QST (9.975%).

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.
