How to read the quantities
Mechanical preparation is 400 sq. ft. × $2.20 = $880. Coating labor is 400 × $1.90 = $760.
What the example includes—and leaves out
Existing coatings, oil staining, cracking and moisture can change preparation. The limited crack-treatment allowance covers cosmetic surface preparation only; movement, structural cracks and slab repair require a separate assessment.
Outside this scope: No moisture mitigation, slab leveling, structural crack or other slab repair, old-coating removal beyond stated preparation or vehicle-storage service.
Keep unresolved selections and site conditions visible. If a measurement, material choice or repair requirement changes, revise the relevant quantity or allowance and share the updated estimate before proceeding with the added work.

Common questions
Can coating price be based only on floor area?
Area is one quantity. Surface condition and preparation can change the work substantially.
Are cracks included?
Only the defined limited allowance is included here. Measure and price larger repairs separately.
