Epoxy Flooring in Perry, KS

Epoxy flooring in Perry often starts with a practical question: is this floor safe to walk on? Perry's median age was 43.4 at the 2020 census, up from 37.1 in 2010, and 23.0% of residents were 65 or older. Nearly three in ten households were one person living alone. For many Perry homeowners, the garage is the main way in and out of the house, and the basement holds the washer and dryer. A slick, dusty or cracked slab in either room is a fall risk.

Grip comes from the texture you choose

A coating can be glossy and still give good footing. The grip comes from what goes into the topcoat. For Perry garages and basement stairs-to-laundry paths we usually recommend one of these:

• Full flake broadcast with a clear topcoat, which leaves a light texture across the whole floor
• An anti-slip additive mixed into the final coat, which adds fine grit without changing the color
• A satin topcoat in place of high gloss, which shows less glare under shop lights

We can put a sample board in your hand during the estimate so you can feel the difference with your own shoes.

A railroad town by the river

Perry got its start in 1865 after the railroad came through, and it took its name from John D. Perry, president of the Kansas Pacific. The town grew again much later. Census counts went from 495 in 1960 to 907 in 1980, so a large share of homes and garages date from the 1960s and 1970s. Those slabs often carry patched cracks, old oil stains and a worn surface by now. We grind all of that down to sound concrete before any coat goes on.

Perry also sits on the Delaware River a few miles south of Perry Dam. The Army Corps of Engineers built the dam for flood control and the lake behind it first filled in 1969. Lower ground near a river can keep basement slabs damp in a wet season, so every Perry basement gets a moisture test before we quote it.

Between Topeka and Lawrence

US-24 runs east from Topeka through Grantville and Perry on its way toward Lawrence. Many Perry residents drive that road every day. In winter, the brine and grit picked up on the highway end up on the garage floor. A sealed coating keeps that meltwater on the surface so it can be squeegeed out instead of soaking into the concrete.

Older slabs, newer needs

A lot of Perry homeowners are adding things to the garage that the original builder never planned for: a second freezer, a workbench, a handrail on the steps to the house door, or a ramp. Before we coat, we look at where those items will sit. Anchor holes for a rail or ramp are easier to plan before the floor is finished. We also fill and level cracks at the door threshold, where a raised edge is easy to catch a toe on.
