Epoxy Flooring in Bellaire, TX

Epoxy flooring in Bellaire means working on two very different kinds of garage, often a few doors apart. Many of the city's original post-war houses were three-bedroom, one-bath homes, and developers tore down a large share of them as land values climbed. Between 1986 and 2006, the average house price went from $75,000 to $500,000, and by 2008 more homes were selling for over $1 million. The result is a street of new, larger houses next to older homes with original concrete.

New construction

A new Bellaire house has a fresh slab. New concrete needs time to cure and dry before it takes a coating, and its surface is often smooth and sealed by the finishing crew. We check moisture, grind the slab to open it up and use a primer suited to the reading. Owners of new homes often want the garage to match the rest of the house, so we see a lot of requests for solid gray, fine flake blends and metallic finishes.

Original and remodeled homes

Some owners chose to renovate instead of rebuilding. Their garages may have sixty or seventy years of paint, patches, cracks and oil. Old paint and failing sealers come off first. Cracks get filled. Low spots get leveled where they would hold water. Then the floor gets a full system. We point out any crack that looks like it is moving so you can have it checked first.

After a flood

Hurricane Harvey flooded homes in Bellaire in August 2017, and the city logged more than 200 rescue calls. If your garage took water in a storm, the slab may still hold moisture long after it looks dry, and old mud and residue can sit in the pores. We test before we quote. A slab that reads wet gets more drying time or a moisture-tolerant primer.

Spaces beyond the garage

Bellaire lots are larger than in some nearby cities, typically 75 by 130 feet, so many houses have room for a home gym, a covered patio or a pool. We coat:

• Home gyms: a tough solid or metallic floor with a topcoat that handles dropped weights and rubber mats
• Patios and pool decks: textured, UV-stable coatings that stay cooler underfoot
• Offices and small commercial spaces: Bellaire allows commercial and mixed-use zones, and we coat storefronts, back rooms and offices

Matching the floor to the house

In a house that cost this much to build, the garage often gets the same attention as the kitchen. We help you pick a finish that fits. Gray and charcoal flake blends pair with modern exteriors. Warm tan blends suit brick and stone. A metallic floor works in a garage that doubles as a car display or entertaining space. For a remodel, we can match a new floor in a converted garage room to the color scheme of the rest of the house. We bring samples to the estimate so you can see them in your own light.

What happens on install day

We protect walls and doors, grind the floor and vacuum the dust as we work. Repairs come next, then the base, color or flake layer, and topcoat. You get written guidance on when to walk on the floor and when to park.
