Epoxy Coating in Licking County, OH

Epoxy can handle occasional water on top, since it seals the surface. The bigger question is moisture coming up through the slab, which a moisture test reveals. High readings call for a moisture-tolerant primer. If water sits for days, fix the drainage first so the floor and walls stay sound.

Hairline cracks are common in new slabs and rarely stop an epoxy job. They are opened slightly and filled before coating so they don't show through. A flake finish hides small repairs well. Wider or moving cracks get a closer look at the estimate.

Yes. Old paint has to be ground off so the epoxy bonds to bare concrete. Coating over paint risks the whole floor lifting when the old layer lets go. Grinding also removes adhesives and opens the surface. It's the most important step in the job.

A high-build industrial epoxy handles floor jacks, stands and rolling tool carts well. Lift posts are bolted to the slab, so the coating is planned around them. A light-colored floor also brightens the bays. Talk with us about your lifts and fluids during the estimate.

Flake floors have a light texture that gives decent grip, and the topcoat can get extra texture added. Dogs usually do well on them. The floor gets slick mainly with water or ice on top, so a mat near the door helps in winter.

Yes. Pits and spalls are ground and filled with a repair material, then the floor is coated. Very rough or uneven floors might need a resurfacing layer first. Once repaired, a flake or solid color finish gives you a smooth, easy-clean floor.

A commercial kitchen floor often takes a few days of work, plus time for the coating to cure. Many kitchens schedule the job over a slow stretch or a planned closure. Cove base along the walls adds a little time. We'll give you a clear timeline before you commit.

Mid-tone blends with gray, tan and a little black hide salt residue and tire marks best. Very dark floors show white salt film, and very light floors show dirt. Ask to see flake chips at the estimate in your own garage light.

Metallic epoxy is durable for basements and rec rooms, with a clear topcoat to resist scuffs. It is smoother than flake, so it can show scratches from dragged furniture more easily. Felt pads on chairs help. With normal care it keeps its look for a long time.
