Epoxy flooring scope of work template

A plain-English scope of work for epoxy and concrete-coating jobs: what you will do, what you won't, what the customer needs to do and what happens when the slab surprises you. It is an example to adapt with a local attorney, not legal advice.

Scope of work

[Your company name] · [License number, if required]

Estimate no. [0001]

Date: [MM/DD/YYYY]

Customer: [Name] · Job address: [Street, city, state ZIP]

1. Work area

We will coat: [garage floor, 24 × 24 ft, 576 sq ft; front step, 12 sq ft]. Areas not listed here are not part of this job.

2. Surface preparation

Why it's here: the coating maker sets the profile its system needs; flake systems commonly call for diamond grinding or shot blasting to CSP 3 or rougher. Writing it down protects the warranty and justifies the prep line in your price.
  • We will prepare the concrete by [diamond grinding / shot blasting] to a concrete surface profile of [CSP __], as the coating manufacturer requires, including the edges.
  • Grinding dust is collected at the tool with a HEPA dust extractor and cleaned up with a HEPA vacuum.
  • Existing sealers, paint or coatings: [none found / removed as part of this job / priced separately].
  • If grinding uncovers contamination, old coatings or damage that could not be seen at the estimate, we will stop and agree the extra work and price in writing before we continue.

3. Moisture

Use your coating's limits, for example up to 3 lb per 1,000 sq ft per 24 hours (ASTM F1869) or 75% relative humidity (ASTM F2170) before a moisture barrier primer is needed.
  • Test method: [calcium chloride, ASTM F1869 / in-slab relative humidity, ASTM F2170]. Result: [ ]. The coating manufacturer's limit: [ ].
  • If the slab is over the limit, we will [apply a moisture vapor barrier at $__ per sq ft / reschedule], with your written approval. If you choose to go ahead without it, moisture-related failures are not covered by the warranty.

4. Repairs and joints

  • Cracks: opened up and filled with [epoxy / polyurea] filler, scraped flush. Included: [up to __ linear ft]; beyond that, [$__ per linear ft].
  • Spalls and holes: patched and scraped flush. Included: [ ].
  • Control joints: [filled and coated over / left open]. Isolation and expansion joints are left open so the slab can move.
  • Concrete keeps moving after it is coated. Cracks and joints may show through the finished floor if the slab moves, and new cracks in the concrete are not a coating defect.

5. The coating system

How to fill it in: copy the products, mix ratios and thicknesses from each data sheet. The coverage calculator converts between mils and square feet per gallon.
LayerProductMix ratioThickness or spread rateColor or blend
Primer[ ][2:1][__ mils]Clear
Base coat[ ][ ][__ mils][ ]
Broadcast[flake / quartz]—[full broadcast, __ sq ft per lb][blend]
Topcoat[ ][1:1][__ sq ft per gallon]Clear, [gloss / satin]

Products are mixed and applied as their manufacturers' data sheets require, within the temperature and humidity limits stated there.

6. Your part

  • Clear the work area [24 hours] before we start, including vehicles, stored items and anything on the walls within [2 ft] of the floor.
  • Give us access to power ([120 V / 240 V]) and water during the work.
  • Keep the space between [__°F and __°F] during installation and cure, and keep people, pets and other trades off the floor until the times in section 7.
  • Expect a coating odor while it cures; ventilate as we advise.

7. Schedule and cure

  • Day 1: [prep, repairs, primer, base coat and broadcast]. Day 2: [scrape, topcoat].
  • Light foot traffic from: [date and time]. Vehicles from: [date and time]. Full cure: [date].
  • If the temperature, humidity or the slab's temperature against the dew point is outside the products' limits, we will reschedule rather than coat.

8. Cleanup and disposal

We will clean up daily and remove our materials, dust and packaging. Leftover product and waste are disposed of as the safety data sheets and local rules require. Unopened leftover material [stays with you for touch-ups / leaves with us].

9. Changes

Any change to this scope, its price or its schedule is agreed in writing, with the price and the time it adds, before the extra work starts.

10. Completion

The job is complete when we have walked the floor with you, finished any punch-list items and handed over the care instructions and warranty. The warranty period starts on the completion date: [date].

How to use the scope of work

  • Attach it to the estimate, so the price and the work describe the same job.
  • Fill the technical lines from the data sheets of the products you will use, not from memory; the glossary explains each term.
  • Keep the moisture and prep records from the job-day checklist with the signed scope: they are what makes the warranty defensible.
  • Have a local attorney review the payment, change-order and warranty wording for your state.

Questions

Scope of work: frequently asked questions

What is a scope of work for an epoxy floor?

The part of the contract that says exactly what you will do and what you won’t: the areas, the prep and the profile, moisture testing, repairs, each coat of the system, what the customer has to do, the schedule and cure times, and how changes are handled. It is what you point to when there is a disagreement.

Is this scope of work a legal contract?

It is an example to adapt, not legal advice. Contract rules for home improvement work vary by state, and some states require specific wording, notices and deposit limits. Have a local attorney review your version once, then reuse it.

What should be excluded from an epoxy flooring scope?

Anything you have not priced: moving stored items, moisture mitigation unless testing calls for it and the customer approves it, repairs beyond those listed, painting walls and baseboards, and areas not listed. Excluded does not mean refused; it means it needs a written change order and a price.

What happens if the slab fails the moisture test?

Say it in the scope before you start. The usual choices are a moisture vapor barrier at an agreed extra price, postponing the job, or going ahead only if the customer accepts in writing that moisture-related failures are not covered by the warranty.
