Epoxy Flooring in St. Marys, KS

Epoxy flooring in St. Marys gets a different kind of workout than it does in most towns we serve. The 2020 census counted a median age of 27.2 here, with 36.9% of residents under 18. In 2010 the average household held 3.10 people and the average family 4.04. Those numbers show up on the floor. A St. Marys garage often doubles as a mudroom, a bike rack, a stroller park and a place to hose off cleats. A basement may be a playroom, a school room and a laundry room at once.

What a family floor needs

A floor used this hard needs three things from a coating:

• Grip when it is wet. Kids run in from the yard with snow or rain on their shoes. A broadcast flake layer adds texture so the floor is less slick.
• Easy cleanup. Spilled juice, mud and paint wipe off a sealed surface. On bare concrete they soak in and stay.
• Hidden wear. Flake colors hide the small scuffs and grit a busy house brings in between sweeps.

Garage floor coating with flake

For most St. Marys garages we suggest a flake floor. We diamond grind the slab, fill cracks and chips, roll a base coat and broadcast vinyl chips until the base is covered. A clear topcoat locks the chips in, and the whole system is far thicker than a store kit. The chips break up the look of a floor that sees a lot of traffic, and the texture helps when the floor is wet.

Getting the garage back fast

A large household cannot go a week without the garage. Polyaspartic coatings cure much faster than standard epoxy. On many jobs a polyaspartic topcoat lets you walk on the floor the same day and park sooner than you would on epoxy. We give you the exact walk-on and parking times for the product we use and the temperature on the day.

Basements that hold a lot of life

Basement floor epoxy turns a bare slab into a surface you can mop. We test the slab for moisture first, since a basement that sweats or wicks water needs a different primer. If the space will be a playroom or a gym, we can add texture or choose a metallic finish for a room that feels finished. Coating is only one step. It does not replace radon testing before you finish a basement.

Choosing colors that work

In a busy house, the floor color matters more than people expect. Very dark solid floors show dust and footprints. Very light ones show tire marks. A medium flake blend with gray, tan or brown chips hides the most. We bring sample boards to the estimate so you can see them in your own garage light.

A tight housing market

The 2020 census counted 928 housing units in St. Marys, with a homeowner vacancy rate of just 1.5%. Families who buy here tend to stay and improve what they have. A coated garage or basement is one way to get more use out of the square footage you already own. Call (785) 508-1522 or
