Epoxy Flooring in Sallisaw, OK

What does an epoxy floor contractor do?

We turn plain or worn-out concrete into a sealed, colored floor that is easy to keep clean. The coating you see at the end is the quick part. What decides how long it lasts is the prep underneath: grinding off old sealers and paint, opening up the surface so the coating can soak in, patching cracks and pits, and checking the slab for moisture.

At the estimate we look the floor over, test a spot for moisture, point out any cracks or flaking, and talk through the finish you have in mind. The price we give covers prep, materials, and cleanup. If something about your slab would make a coating fail, we tell you before you spend a dime.

Store-bought kits skip the grinding. Rolled over smooth or etched concrete, a thin kit coating usually starts lifting under warm tires within a couple of years.

Why do concrete floors wear out so fast here?

A few local things work against bare concrete in Sallisaw.

• Weather. Sallisaw gets hot, humid summers, sharp winter cold snaps, and heavy spring storms, so garage slabs see heat, moisture, and red mud.
• The houses. Most homes in town are older single-story houses with one- or two-car garages, along with rural properties that have big shop buildings.
• How the space gets used. Garages and shops here often double as workspaces for trucks, tractors, mowers, and fishing gear for Lake Tenkiller and the Arkansas River.
• The slab itself. Older shop and garage slabs often carry years of oil and grease that has to be ground off before any coating will bond.

Raw concrete is full of tiny pores that soak up oil, salt water, and dust. A coating that is bonded into the slab closes those pores, so spills stay on top where you can wipe them up.

How much does an epoxy floor cost?

The price comes down to the size of the floor, how much work the slab needs before coating, and the system you choose. A single solid color costs less than a full flake broadcast under a clear topcoat, and a metallic pour costs more than both. Crack repair, removing an old coating, and a moisture-blocking primer all add to the total.

• Square footage. A one-car garage and a three-car garage are very different jobs.
• Condition. Deep cracks, pitting, and old paint mean more grinding and patching.
• System. Solid color, flake, metallic, and polyaspartic each carry their own material cost.
• Moisture. A damp slab needs a vapor-blocking primer under the color coat.

The estimate is free, and the number we write down is what you pay unless you change the scope.

What happens on install day?

Have the garage or room cleared out the day before if you can. We grind with vacuums hooked up, fill cracks, clean up the dust, and roll the coats. Most garages take one to two days plus a little cure time before you drive on it. Fresh coatings have an odor while they cure, so we keep the doors open and ask that kids and pets stay out. For background on coating fumes, see the EPA page on VOCs and indoor air.
