Epoxy Flooring in Lewisville, TX

Epoxy flooring in Lewisville usually starts in the garage. Search data for the city shows about two and a half times as many people looking for an epoxy garage floor as for epoxy flooring in general, and that matches the calls we get. We coat garage floors first, then shops, sales floors and warehouse slabs across southern Denton County. Every job follows the same order: look at the slab, grind it, repair it, then choose the coating.

A housing stock reaching its first recoat

Lewisville grew quickly after the Garza-Little Elm Dam was finished in 1954 and Lewisville Lake filled behind it, and most of the homes came later. American Community Survey figures summarized by Point2Homes put the median year built at 1997, with 18.7% of housing units from the 1980s, 23.8% from the 1990s and 20.1% from the 2000s. A garage slab poured in 1997 is close to 30 years old. By then it has usually picked up oil stains, tire marks and hairline cracks, and many have a coat of garage paint or a store kit that is now flaking at the tire paths. Those old layers have to come off before anything new can bond, so coating removal shows up on a lot of our Lewisville quotes.

Garages that do more than park cars

Lewisville Lake covers about 29,592 acres, and Wikipedia notes that water covers roughly 14% of the city. Lewisville is also the largest boat-sales market in Texas by volume. In a lot of homes here the garage holds a boat on its trailer, coolers, rods and wet life jackets along with the cars. That means a trailer jack pressing on one small spot, lake water and sand tracked in, and fuel or motor oil dripping from an outboard. We build for that: extra thickness where the jack sits, a chemical-resistant topcoat for fuel and oil, and texture so a wet floor is not slick.

Heat, cold snaps and scheduling

Under NOAA's 1971 to 2000 normals, Lewisville's average July high is 94.1°F and its average January low is 32.0°F. The records run from -3°F to 113°F, and in February 2021 Lewisville Lake froze over. HomeGuide says epoxy should be applied between 60°F and 85°F with humidity under 85%. On summer jobs we start early, check slab temperature and mix smaller batches so the resin does not set in the bucket. During a cold snap we may move the date or use a polyaspartic coat, which HomeGuide says can go down from -30°F to 140°F. Spring and fall give the widest working window.

Soil, slabs and cracks

Lewisville sits in the eastern Cross Timbers, between the Blackland Prairie and the Grand Prairie. The Texas State Historical Association describes the sandy land of the Eastern Cross Timbers lying against the black soil of the prairies in Denton County. Blackland soils such as Houston Black, the Texas state soil, are expansive clays that shrink and swell as their water content changes, and slabs over moving ground crack. We fill and grind cracks so the coating covers them cleanly. A coating does not stop a slab from moving, though, so we tell you which cracks look cosmetic and which ones a foundation contractor should see first.

Choosing a system

• Garage floor epoxy: a thick epoxy base on ground concrete, a flake or solid color layer and a clear topcoat. The standard choice for a two- or three-car garage.
• Flake floors: colored chips broadcast into the base until no more will stick. They hide lake sand, dust and tire marks between cleanings.
• Polyaspartic coating: a fast-curing coat that resists UV and lets you park sooner, useful when the garage door stays open on summer afternoons.
• Metallic epoxy: a poured, swirled finish for game rooms, home gyms, studios and retail floors.
• Commercial floors: heavier systems for dealership service bays, boat shops, warehouses and food distribution space.
• Crack and concrete repair: filling, patching and resurfacing so the floor under the coating is sound.

What every written quote covers

• The measured square footage and a moisture reading
• The cracks, stains and old coatings we found and how each one will be handled
• The grinding, the repairs and every coat, by name
• How long to stay off the floor, when items go back in and when you can park
• One total price. Changes are written up for you to approve first.

Store kits versus a ground, built-up floor

Home centers in Lewisville and Flower Mound sell garage epoxy kits, and HomeGuide puts premade kits at $200 to $700. HomeGuide says water-based epoxy lasts about 3 to 5 years, against 10 to 20 years for solid epoxy. The larger gap is preparation. Most kits rely on cleaning or etching, which leaves old sealer and weak surface concrete in place. We grind every floor to open the surface and build the coating to the thickness the product calls for.
