Epoxy Flooring in Burlingame, KS

We bring epoxy flooring to Burlingame, the Osage County town that started as Council City on the Santa Fe Trail. Its post office opened in 1855, the name changed to Burlingame in 1858, and the town was incorporated in 1861. Burlingame grew early. The census counted 1,472 residents in 1890, its peak, and 971 in 2020. A town that has been settled this long has many garages, sheds and shop buildings that have been through several owners. Their floors often show it.

What we find on older floors

When we walk an older garage or outbuilding, we look for:

• Layers of floor paint or a past DIY kit that is lifting near the door
• Oil and fluid stains that have soaked deep into the surface
• Cracks that have been patched before, some more than once
• A dusty, worn surface where the top layer of cement has broken down
• Low spots where water sits after a rain

Each item changes the prep. Old coatings are ground off. Deep oil is ground out or treated so it does not push up through the new coat. Cracks are cut open and filled. We price the floor after we have seen all of it.

Floors for people who plan to stay

Burlingame is an older community by age as well. The 2020 census put the median age at 41.0, and 20.3% of residents were 65 or older. Many people here use the garage as their main way into the house. That makes footing a priority. A flake floor with a textured topcoat holds up to wet shoes better than smooth epoxy or bare concrete. A light flake blend also brightens a dim garage, which helps you see the step into the house.

Detached garages and shops

Outbuildings are common on older town lots, and many are used for tools, mowers or a small project shop. These floors take dropped tools and fluids more than tires. For them we use a thicker build of 100% solids epoxy, which handles impact and chemicals. If the slab is outside the house, we check it for moisture just like a basement, since a slab poured on bare ground can wick water.

Main street and small business floors

Santa Fe Avenue, the town's main street, was laid out wide enough for an oxen team to make a U-turn. City Hall sits on it at 101 E Santa Fe Ave. Shops, offices and service buildings along a main street like this one can use a commercial coating on a back room, a work area or a customer floor. We schedule commercial work around your hours and give you a written plan for the cure time.

What the estimate covers

At the visit we measure the floor, test it for moisture and note every crack, stain and old coating. You get a written quote with the system, each coat, the prep and the total. If we find something mid-job that changes the scope, we stop, write it up and wait for your approval.
