A professionally installed polyaspartic driveway coating in Fort Myers costs $7 to $12 per square foot. Most driveways of 500 to 800 square feet land between about $3,500 and $9,600. Where yours falls in that range depends on its size, the concrete’s condition, how much prep it needs, and the finish you choose. Epoxy Floors N More installs UV-stable polyaspartic driveway coatings across Fort Myers, and every quote is based on a look at the actual slab.
What a Typical Fort Myers Driveway Costs to Coat
At $7 to $12 per square foot, here’s where common driveway sizes land:
| Driveway Size | Estimated Installed Cost |
|---|---|
| 400 sq ft | $2,800 to $4,800 |
| 500 sq ft | $3,500 to $6,000 |
| 650 sq ft | $4,550 to $7,800 |
| 800 sq ft | $5,600 to $9,600 |
If testing shows the slab needs moisture mitigation, that adds roughly $1 to $2 per square foot. Your written estimate will reflect your driveway’s measured size and condition.
What Moves Your Price Within the Range
Two driveways of the same size can get different quotes. These are the factors that separate them:
- Size: Square footage sets the base cost. Larger driveways tend to land toward the lower end per square foot, because setup and equipment costs spread across more area.
- Slab condition: Cracks, spalling, and old sealers or coatings that have to come off all add prep time.
- Surface preparation: Mechanical grinding opens the concrete so the coating can bond. This step is part of every properly installed system.
- Moisture: Florida slabs often hold moisture that pushes up through the concrete and weakens the bond, so testing it before pricing avoids surprises later.
- Finish: Solid color, decorative flake blends, and slip-resistant textures use different amounts of material and labor. Ask to have each option priced on the same quote so you can compare them directly.
Why Fort Myers Driveways Need an Outdoor-Rated System
Fort Myers gets about 55 inches of rain a year, most of it from June through September. Summer highs sit in the low 90s with heavy humidity. A driveway takes direct sun all day, hot tires every evening, and runoff from every afternoon storm. Standard epoxy is made for indoor floors. On an outdoor slab in Southwest Florida, UV exposure breaks down epoxy resin until it yellows and loses its bond. Polyaspartic is UV-stable, so it holds its color in full sun and resists hot-tire pickup. That’s why it’s the system worth paying for on a driveway here.
How to Compare Driveway Coating Quotes
A low per-square-foot number means little until you know what it covers. Before you compare two estimates, check:
- Is grinding and surface preparation included, or billed separately?
- Is crack and spall repair included, or added later as a change order?
- Was the concrete tested for moisture before the job was priced?
- Is the coating UV-stable and rated for outdoor use?
- Is the finish you want, such as flake or a slip-resistant texture, priced in?
A quote that skips prep and moisture testing will look cheaper, but it leaves out the work that keeps a coating bonded. It also helps to know whether you’re comparing a coating or a sealer. The cost of sealing a 500 to 800 square foot driveway in Fort Myers is about $575 to $1,700, but a sealer has to be reapplied every few years and can’t give you a flake or textured finish.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to coat a driveway in Fort Myers?
A professionally installed polyaspartic driveway coating in Fort Myers costs $7 to $12 per square foot. That comes to about $3,500 to $9,600 for a 500 to 800 square foot driveway. If the slab needs moisture mitigation, add roughly $1 to $2 per square foot.
What should a driveway coating estimate include besides square footage?
A driveway coating estimate should include more than square footage. It should cover surface grinding, crack or spall repair, a moisture evaluation, and the finish you’ve chosen. Without those, you can’t compare it to other quotes.
Does the condition of my driveway change the coating price?
Yes, your driveway’s condition changes the coating price. Cracks, spalling, old coatings that need removal, and moisture issues all add prep work. That’s why two driveways of the same size can get different quotes.
Why does a Fort Myers driveway need an outdoor-rated coating?
A Fort Myers driveway needs an outdoor-rated coating because it faces full sun, hot tires, heavy summer rain, and high humidity. Standard epoxy yellows and breaks down under UV exposure. UV-stable polyaspartic holds its color and bond outdoors.
Is coating a driveway more expensive than sealing it?
Yes, coating a driveway costs more than sealing it. In Fort Myers, a polyaspartic coating runs $7 to $12 per square foot, while sealing runs about $1 to $3 per square foot. A sealer has to be reapplied every few years and doesn’t offer flake or textured finishes.
