I look at the bare slab and how your space gets used before pricing anything.
Request an estimateWhat is urethane cement flooring, and does my space need it?
Urethane cement flooring is a seamless floor system made for heavy-duty spaces, and in El Paso, TX we put it down in commercial kitchens, food plants and shops where the floor has to handle impact, abrasion, chemicals and thermal shock, the sudden swing when hot water or steam hits a cooler floor.
Most people who call about it have a floor that's already losing, like a coating peeling near the dish station, a chewed-up shop slab or a kitchen remodel that needs a floor tougher than the last one. What moves the price is the size of the space, how much crack and joint work the slab needs, any old coating that has to come off first, whether you want the floor carried up the walls and whether sunlight means adding a topcoat. The schedule turns mostly on when you can shut the space down and when the slab is ready, and the estimate I write on site puts your own numbers on all of that.
How we put down a urethane cement floor
I start by walking the slab with you and asking what the floor takes every day, from hot-water washdowns to dropped pans and pallet jacks, because that decides which system and finish make sense. Then we map every crack and joint, since one maker warns that moving joints and cracks can show up through the finished floor, and we settle with you how each one gets handled before anything is priced. Our crew grinds the slab down to clean, sound concrete and lays the urethane cement, and if sunlight reaches the floor through a door, window or skylight, I price a UV stable topcoat in from the start so it's part of the plan instead of a surprise later.
Not every floor needs to be this tough. A dry office or retail floor that mostly sees foot traffic often does better as polished concrete flooring, and if you want color worked into the slab without a coating on top, stained concrete flooring is worth a look. I'll tell you on site if urethane cement is more floor than you need.
What El Paso asks of a urethane cement kitchen floor
In El Paso, permits come through the city's One Stop Shop, which issues them for work that builds, alters, repairs or changes the use of a building. That list doesn't settle whether a new floor on its own needs one, so we check with the office that covers your address before we start, and if a permit is needed we handle the paperwork or walk you through it if you're filing as the owner. If you're building, converting or remodeling a food business in the city, your plans go to the city for review and approval before construction starts, so build that into your timeline before we set a date for the floor.
For food prep and cleaning areas, the city calls for floors that are smooth, durable, non-absorbent and easy to clean, with sealed joints where the floor meets the wall, which is exactly where a seamless floor earns its keep. One maker offers coving with its urethane cement, carrying the floor a short way up the wall in one piece so there's no seam at the base for water and grime to sit in. We see the same mix of restaurant kitchens and hard-working shop floors on jobs in Socorro and Horizon City.
Why call us for urethane cement
Figuring out odd slabs since 2017
We've run this business since 2017, and the jobs we're known for are the strange ones, like peeling coatings and old finishes nobody can name. On a heavy-use floor that matters, because I'd rather work out why the last floor failed than lay a new one over the same problem.
I check the prep myself
I come out to look at your floor and write the estimate, and our own crew does the work with me on site to check the prep before anything goes down. The slab under the finish is the part nobody sees, and it's usually where a floor lets go.
Licensed and insured on every floor
We're fully licensed and insured. Ask any installer for that before they set foot in your kitchen or shop, because it's what protects you if something goes wrong on the job.
Texas and New Mexico jobs alike
We're based in El Paso and work across the city and the cities around it, on both sides of the state line. If your city isn't on our list, give us a call and ask, since that list isn't everywhere we go.

Frequently asked questions
How much does urethane cement flooring cost in El Paso?
The price of a urethane cement floor in El Paso comes down to the square footage, how much repair the slab needs and which extras the space calls for. Crack and joint work, stripping an old coating, coving along the walls and a UV stable topcoat where sunlight hits all add to it, while a sound, bare slab in a space you can close down keeps it lower. I'll put a number on it after I see the floor.
What causes a urethane cement floor to turn yellow?
Sunlight is the usual cause. One maker says its urethane cement isn't UV stable and will discolor unless it's top coated with a UV stable coating, so any floor near a door, window or skylight needs that topcoat. That's why I price it in from the start when the sun reaches your floor.
How do I keep a urethane cement floor clean?
Clean it often and thoroughly with a neutral pH cleaner, which is the upkeep one maker recommends for its urethane cement. Walk-off mats placed inside and outside the doors also help the floor last longer, because they catch grit before it gets ground in.
How do I choose an installer for urethane cement flooring?
Ask about training and past floors before you book. One maker says its system should only be installed by trained people with experience in polyurethane concrete flooring, so ask any installer, us included, where they learned it and what floors like yours they've done. Also ask how they'll handle the cracks and joints in your slab, because the answer tells you whether they really looked.
When is the best time to install a urethane cement floor?
Plan it for a stretch when the room and the slab aren't running hot. One maker advises against applying its urethane cement when air and surface temperatures are elevated, so when we set the date we work around ovens and fryers left running nearby and slabs sitting in direct sun.
What is the best way to prep concrete for urethane cement?
The slab has to be clean and sound, then prepared mechanically, usually by grinding. One maker's data sheet calls for removing dust, old paint films, oils and grease before that mechanical prep. In a kitchen, grease soaked into the concrete is often the hardest part, so I look for it at the estimate.
Other floors we put down
Polished Concrete Flooring
For lobbies, showrooms and offices, polished concrete turns the slab you already have into the finished floor, with a shine that comes from grinding rather than a coating.
Stained Concrete Flooring
Want color and character on a floor that won't see hot washdowns or chemicals? Stained concrete soaks color into the slab itself, so it doesn't sit on top.
