Commercial & Industrial Epoxy Floor Coatings in El Paso TX - a floor that stays bonded

Most calls I get about a working floor start one of two ways, with a roll-on coat flaking off in the drive lanes or with a new or gutted space where the owner wants the floor done once. The price moves with the square footage, how much old coating has to come off, which can be its own floor stripping and removal job when it's thick, the finish and topcoat you pick, and whether the slab needs a moisture fix before anything goes down. The schedule turns on the slab more than anything, since we don't pick a system until we know how damp it is, and on when your space can be cleared for the work. I'll give you your own number after I've looked at the floor on site.

On a working floor I'd rather spend the time grinding and priming than watch a cheap coat let go under traffic, so that's where most of the job goes. First I ask what the floor carries, whether it's foot traffic, pallet jacks, forklifts, oil or cleaning chemicals, because that decides how thick the system needs to be and which topcoat goes on last. Then we test the slab for moisture, and in a new or gutted building we wait until it's closed up, since an open shell can fool a moisture reading. Once the slab checks out, our crew grinds the concrete to open its surface so the primer can grab, fills cracks and pits, primes, lays the body coat with its grit or flake, finishes with the topcoat and cleans up behind us.

A lot of shop owners have the same peeling problem at home, and our garage floor coatings go down with the same grinding and priming, sized to a house. Where a floor needs a harder-wearing top layer, we can finish the epoxy build with a polyaspartic floor coating instead of an epoxy topcoat.

The city requires a building permit to build, enlarge, alter, repair, move or demolish a building or change how it's used, and that list doesn't name floor coating by itself, so it's worth asking early, while the job is still being planned, especially if the floor is part of a tenant build-out or a change of use. The city's One Stop Shop takes building permits and most business licenses, so that's the place to ask. Permit rules change from one city and county to the next, so we check with the office that covers your address before we start, and if your job needs a permit we handle the paperwork or walk you through it if you're filing as the owner.

Many of the shops and warehouses we coat have bay doors that open to the sun, and a floor that catches daylight is worth pricing with a polyaspartic or polyurea topcoat, which costs more but holds up to Texas UV better than plain epoxy. We see the same metal buildings, older slabs and tired recoats across El Paso and on jobs in Socorro and across the state line in Santa Teresa. We're based in El Paso and work the cities around it in Texas and New Mexico, so if yours isn't on our list, call and ask.
