Epoxy Flooring in Botines, TX

Epoxy flooring in Botines is mostly about working floors. This is one of the least crowded places we serve. The 2010 census counted 53 housing units across almost two square miles, about six homes per square mile. With that much room, many properties have a detached shop, a metal building or an equipment shelter on its own slab, and those floors take more abuse than any garage in town.

Higher ground, fewer homes

Botines sits about five miles north of Laredo at roughly 719 feet, well above the river cities to the south. The census-designated place once covered 8.6 square miles, but before the 2010 census four other CDPs were carved partly or wholly out of it: Bonanza Hills, Four Points, Los Veteranos II and Sunset Acres. What remains is small and spread out. The 2020 count was 149 people, up 27.4% from 2010.

What a Botines shop floor deals with

• Steel tracks, jack stands and implement hitches that gouge thin coatings
• Hydraulic fluid, diesel and gear oil that stain bare concrete
• Fine caliche and brush-country dust blown in through big open doors
• Trailers and trucks parked inside, hot tires and all

The system we recommend for shops

For a working shop we use our warehouse and shop floor epoxy: a 100% solids epoxy base applied thicker than a typical garage coat, a broadcast of flake or aggregate for grip, and a chemical-resistant topcoat. Control joints get filled so wheels and dollies roll over them without chipping the edges. Areas around a welding table or a grinder can be left as a separate zone so sparks and hot slag do not mark the finish.

Metal buildings and open doors

Many rural shops are metal buildings with tall roll-up doors facing the yard. Sunlight reaches well into the floor for part of the day. Plain epoxy in direct sun will yellow over time, so we finish shop floors that get sun with a UV-stable polyaspartic or urethane topcoat.

Garages and patios too

Botines homes still have garages and patios. The 2010 figures showed 77.5% of households were married couples, with an average household size of 3.30. Families like that use the garage for storage and the patio for gatherings. We coat those with flake systems and textured outdoor finishes, often in the same visit as the shop.

Timing around the work you do

A shop floor that is out of service costs you working days. A polyaspartic topcoat can cut the wait before light use, and we can plan the job around a slow week or a gap in hauling. The written quote states how long each area will be off limits so you can plan.

Getting a quote

We walk the property, measure each slab, test for moisture and look at cracks, oil and old coatings. The quote lists the shop, garage and patio separately so you can phase the work.
