Epoxy Flooring in Overbrook, KS

Epoxy flooring in Overbrook often comes up when a homeowner decides to stay in the house for the long run. Overbrook's median age was 47.2 at the 2020 census, and 28.4% of residents were 65 or older. People who plan to age in place start looking at the rooms they use most and asking which ones could be easier and safer. The garage floor and the basement laundry floor are near the top of that list.

Why a coated floor is easier to live with

• It does not shed concrete dust, so the floor stays clean longer
• Spills, oil drips and tracked-in mud wipe up with a damp mop
• A light color brightens a dim basement or garage
• Texture in the topcoat gives grip on a wet floor
• Cracks and chipped edges get filled, so there is less to trip on

We suggest light gray or tan flake blends for most Overbrook homes. They show less dirt than plain white or black and reflect more light than bare concrete.

Mid-century slabs in Overbrook

Census counts show Overbrook at 387 people in 1950, 509 in 1960, 748 in 1970 and 930 in 1980. Many homes and garages date from that 1960s and 1970s growth. Fifty-year-old concrete is usually solid underneath. On top, it can have spalled spots near the door, cracks that open and close with the seasons, and patches of old paint. All of it gets ground and repaired before we coat.

Basements and laundry rooms

A lot of Overbrook homes keep the washer and dryer in the basement. A coated basement floor is easier to keep clean and makes a small leak simple to spot and wipe up. We test the slab for moisture first. If the reading allows, we apply basement floor epoxy with a light texture in the final coat.

A town on the old trail

Overbrook was founded in the 1880s when William T. Coffman and Jasper B. Fairchild each donated 30 acres for a townsite. It is named after Overbrook, Pennsylvania, the hometown of a railroad construction engineer. The Santa Fe Trail passed through this ground, and wagon ruts are still visible in and around town. The city incorporated in 1948 and shares Santa Fe Trail USD 434 with Carbondale and Scranton.

Planning the job around your routine

Most garage jobs take one to two days. If you park in the garage every day, we can use a polyaspartic system so the car is back inside sooner. If the basement holds the washer and dryer, we schedule around laundry day and give you the time when the appliances can go back on the floor. Nothing gets done without a written scope you have approved first.
