There are many seasonal homes here in Three Oaks that are not lived in all year round. This presents great timing for new epoxy flooring when owners are out for several days or weeks, as the curing of the epoxy floor needs, in some cases, days before it hardens and anyone can put furniture or walk on it to prevent marks before fully dry.

Epoxy Flooring Across Three Oaks
31% of the homes here were built in 1939 or earlier. A lot of homes are seasonal, so you can do the work while the owners are away. These older homes are great because their concrete is over 85 years old and well cured, so it holds epoxy flooring well.
Beach Sand on Garage Floors
Beach sand on garage floors that have been coated can act like sandpaper and dull the path from the door to the steps, where people walk over the sand most. Flakes in the flooring can hide this wear. These areas are fixed by a light sanding and applying fresh top coats to them. These areas should be swept often.
Porches on Older Houses
A concrete porch on a house from before 1940 has spent decades in sun, rain and freezing winters. Cracks and spalled edges get repaired first. An outdoor porch needs a coating that will not yellow, plus grit for wet days, so we use a polyaspartic system there.
Floors in Old Factory Buildings
These old factory buildings have had many years of oil in the concrete. These oils can stop an epoxy flooring process from bonding to the floor, and the epoxy can separate from the concrete. So it is not a great option for these old concrete floors. Densifying soaks a liquid into ground concrete that hardens its surface. The best bet for these old floors is grinding the concrete, filling any spots, densifying, and then a good polishing. Polishing can be done by continually grinding with finer and finer diamonds until it shines perfectly and looks great.
Shop Floors Downtown
A lot of these shop floors downtown have old tile throughout the whole floor that has been glued down onto the top of the concrete. When grinding all of this off, there should be a vacuum on the grinder head to pull in all the dust as it’s made. The shop can be closed several days in a row for all of the grinding and mess and to let a coated floor cure. It needs to cure at least a day or two before customers come in.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the coating go under the garage door seal?
Yes, the coating runs all the way to the threshold, and the rubber seal on the bottom of the garage door rests on the topcoat. A cracked seal can let in sand and water, so replace it before coating.
Can the garage stay closed up while the coating cures?
Epoxy flooring needs at least 50 degrees Fahrenheit or warmer to cure properly. A good time to do epoxy flooring, if there's no heat in the garage, is between May and October.
Is flake or solid color better for a lake house garage?
Flakes in the flooring can hide sand and water spots. Chips in the epoxy can add grip, especially if the floor gets wet often. Solid colors show every mark.
Can you coat the concrete pad under a hot tub?
Yes, before the tub goes on it. The pad gets a UV-stable polyaspartic with grit for wet feet, and water splashed from the tub wipes off without staining the concrete.
Will a coated garage floor get slippery with wet beach towels on it?
Any floor gets slick with water on it. Grit in the topcoat gives shoes something to grip, and a flake floor already has a slight texture.
Can you coat a garage floor that slopes toward the door?
Yes. Most garage floors slope so water runs out, and the coating keeps that slope. We only fill low spots where water sits, since a coating follows the shape of the slab under it.
