What does wall prep add to a microcement job?
Microcement is 2–3mm thick. It follows whatever is underneath rather than hiding it, so anything textured, tiled or damaged has to be made flat first — that's the uplift, and it's why two identical rooms can price differently.
What each choice does to the price
Measured against a typical Tampa microcement & surface, which runs $2,500 – $5,000. These are the same figures our estimator uses, not a national average.
| Wall condition | Effect on the total |
|---|---|
| New drywallBest case | Baseline |
| Textured wallsKnockdown or orange peel | Baseline |
| Existing tile | Baseline |
| Damaged wallsCracks, holes or old repairs | Baseline |

Differences are what the choice adds to an otherwise identical project. Your own number depends on size, condition and what the walls are hiding — which is what the walkthrough is for.
