Epoxy Flooring in Hoyt, KS

Epoxy flooring in Hoyt serves a town with farm roots. Hoyt was founded in 1886 and incorporated in 1909. In the late 1890s and early 1900s it was a major cattle and hay shipping point on the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific line between St. Joseph, Missouri, and Herington, Kansas. The Rock Island last ran through town in 1980. Agriculture still shapes the floors around Hoyt: a house garage in town, and often a shop or machine shed out in the county.

Machine sheds and shop floors

A farm shop slab takes heavy, dirty work. Tractors and implements come in carrying mud, chaff and grease. Floor jacks and stands sit on one spot for hours. Fuel and hydraulic fluid drip and soak in. A thin garage-grade coat will not hold up to that. For these floors we use commercial and shop floor epoxy:

• Thorough degreasing and diamond grinding to reach clean concrete
• Crack and spall repair so loads do not break the coating at weak spots
• A thicker, high-solids build for impact and chemical resistance
• A textured topcoat for grip around wash areas

If a pad has too much oil in it to bond, we tell you at the estimate.

Town garages

Hoyt is small. The 2010 census counted 669 people in 253 households, with 269 housing units on about half a square mile. In town, most of our work is one- and two-car garages. A flake garage floor coating hides gravel dust from county roads and gives tires and boots more grip. If you want the garage back quickly, we can finish with a polyaspartic topcoat.

Up on higher ground

Hoyt sits at 1,165 feet, higher than Topeka's 938. Houses on this upland ground still get spring rain, so we test basement and slab-on-grade floors for moisture before we coat them. Dry basements can take basement floor epoxy, and a finished lower room can take a metallic epoxy floor.

When to schedule farm buildings

Many owners near Hoyt plan shop floor work for a gap in the season, when equipment can be moved out for a few days. A shop epoxy needs time to cure before heavy machines roll back in, often longer than a car garage. We give you written times for foot traffic, light carts and full equipment loads. If you can only empty half the building at a time, we can coat it in two sections with a clean joint between them.

Garages that also hold equipment

Plenty of Hoyt garages serve double duty: a pickup on one side, a zero-turn mower, a log splitter or a side-by-side on the other. Small engines drip oil and fuel, and their tires bring in grass and mud. For a garage like that, we use a full flake broadcast with a slightly heavier topcoat and leave the texture a little rougher so the floor stays grippy when it is wet. We also suggest a drip mat where the mower parks.
