Epoxy Flooring in La Presa, TX

Epoxy flooring in La Presa has to work for a full house. In the 2010 census the average household here held 3.97 people, and more than half of households had children under 18. In a home like that, the garage is rarely just for parking. It holds bikes, a spare fridge, laundry, tools, a weight bench and sometimes a party. The patio sees birthday tables and grills. Our job is to give those slabs a surface that cleans fast and holds up to a lot of feet.

The garage as the family's back room

When a garage does many jobs, bare concrete becomes a problem. It sheds dust onto everything stored there. Spills soak in. Kids track grit into the house. A coated floor seals the surface so a broom and a damp mop handle most messes. For a family garage we usually suggest:

• A flake floor, because the chips hide scuffs, crumbs and tire marks between cleanings.
• A finer flake blend or added grit in the topcoat, so wet shoes and spilled drinks are less slippery.
• A light or mid-tone color, which brightens a garage that is used as a workspace or play area.

Gathering space outside

La Presa covers only about half a square mile, and in 2010 it held 178 housing units. Homes sit close together, so the back patio is often the main spot to host. Outdoor slabs here get full sun, so we use textured, UV-stable coatings outside. They resist fading and give bare feet and party shoes more grip than a slick glossy finish would.

Working around a full house

A coating job puts the garage out of use for a while, and in a home with several kids and adults that matters. Before we start, we talk through:

• Where the stored items, fridge and laundry will go during the work.
• Which days the garage can be empty without upsetting school or work routines.
• Whether a fast-curing polyaspartic topcoat makes sense so the space comes back sooner.
• How long to keep pets and kids off the fresh surface.

Doing the work in stages

Some families want both the garage and the patio but would rather spread out the cost. That is fine. We can give you a written quote that prices each slab on its own, so you can do the garage this season and the patio later. Prep and materials are listed line by line, so you can see what each part covers.

Older homes and old patches

La Presa has been a census-designated place since 2000, and some homes here have floors that have been patched, painted or stained over the years. Old paint and loose patches have to come off before a new coating will stick. We grind them away, fill cracks and chips, and grind the repairs level before any color goes down.

Caring for a family floor

Coated floors are easy to keep up. Sweep often so grit does not scratch the topcoat. Mop with plain water or a mild cleaner. Put felt pads under the legs of heavy furniture or a freezer. Wipe up oil or fuel when you see it. That is about all a busy household needs to do.

Picking colors with the whole family

In a home where everyone uses the garage, the color choice is often a group decision. We bring flake and solid-color samples to the estimate so you can see them on your own slab, in your own light. Darker blends hide dirt best. Lighter blends make a garage feel larger and easier to work in. A middle blend is often the compromise that works for everyone.
