Epoxy Flooring in Farmers Branch, TX

Epoxy flooring in Farmers Branch often means working on concrete from the 1950s and 1960s. The city incorporated in 1946 and then grew fast. It had 915 residents in 1950, 13,441 in 1960 and 27,492 in 1970, and then barely grew for thirty years. Most of its houses were built in that postwar wave, which makes many garage slabs here 60 years old or more.

What age does to a postwar slab

Concrete from that era was placed with different methods and materials than today's. After six decades a garage floor may have:

• Spalled or crumbling patches near the door
• Old repairs in mismatched concrete
• Several layers of paint
• Deep, wide cracks and uneven sections
• Damp spots, since older slabs may not have the plastic vapor barrier common under newer ones

We test moisture on every Farmers Branch job and look closely at the condition of the surface. Concrete crack repair and patching come first. Where water comes up through the slab, we may recommend a moisture-tolerant primer, or tell you a coating is not the right fix.

An industrial city from the start

The Texas State Historical Association records a bag factory, a tile plant and a planing mill in the early postwar years. By the mid-1970s, 34 firms here made steel products, tile, cement, asphalt, cosmetics and food. Wikipedia counts about 3,500 companies in the city in 2012, with corporate frontage along I-635, I-35E and the Dallas North Tollway. That means a lot of concrete under forklifts, racks and production lines.

Our commercial floor epoxy work here includes:

• Warehouses and distribution space: thick, abrasion-resistant systems with clear aisle striping
• Manufacturing and shops: chemical-resistant topcoats for oils and solvents
• Food and cosmetics production: cleanable, seamless surfaces that are easy to wash down
• Dealerships and offices: metallic or solid-color finishes

Rentals and turnover

The 2020 census counted 17,100 housing units in Farmers Branch, with a rental vacancy rate of 17.5%. Landlords and property managers turning over a unit can use a coated garage or utility room to make a property easier to clean between tenants. A flake floor hides wear and stands up to move-in and move-out traffic. We can price several units on one visit.

Wash-down and cleaning

Shop and plant floors in Farmers Branch often get scrubbed with machines or hosed down. A seamless coating with a cove at the walls keeps water from getting under the edges. We pick a topcoat rated for the cleaners you already use, and we can add texture so wet floors keep their grip. For food and cosmetics space, ask us about finishes that meet the requirements of your inspector.

Homeowners renovating older houses

Many owners in the city's older neighborhoods are updating mid-century homes. If your garage is becoming a workshop, gym or extra living space, we level and repair the slab first and then choose a finish that fits the new use. Call (972) 645-4494 to set up a visit, and we will give you a written price that lists each repair.
