Eighteen Thousand Houses and Counting

Epoxy flooring in Florissant has a lot of postwar concrete to work with. Wikipedia reports that about 18,000 houses were built here between 1947 and 1980, as developers such as Alfred H. Mayer Co. filled former farmland with subdivisions. ACS data on Point2Homes shows 32.3% of homes from the 1950s and 38.5% from the 1960s, with a median build year of 1963. Most of those homes have a garage or basement slab now more than 60 years old.

A typical 1960s floor

Garage floors from this era usually share a few traits:

No vapor barrier under the slab.
Surface wear and pitting near the door from decades of road salt.
Cracks across the slab where it has settled.
Paint or a clear sealer from an earlier refresh.

We grind all of it away, fill and repair, test for moisture and then choose the primer.

Basements in brick ranches

In a lot of Florissant houses, the basement holds the laundry, the storage or a family room. A basement floor coating makes those spaces brighter and easier to keep clean. Older basements can show efflorescence or dampness, so moisture testing comes before any quote. Leaks need repair first; we will not coat over them.

Owners occupy about 67.1% of homes, while stand-alone single-family houses account for 78.8% of the housing. If you plan to stay, our usual pick is chip flake under a polyaspartic topcoat. If budget is tight, we can also price a simpler system and explain what you give up, in writing.

Florissant Questions

Is a 60-year-old Florissant garage slab too old to coat?

Not usually. Most slabs that age are still solid underneath. Grinding and repair restore the surface, and the moisture reading decides the primer.

Why is there pitting near my garage door?

Salt and freezing water break down the concrete surface near the door over the years. We grind and fill the pitting before coating.

Can a basement floor coating help a musty basement?

A coating makes the floor easier to clean and seals the surface, but it does not fix humidity or leaks. A dehumidifier and any needed water repairs should come first.

Do you work on older commercial buildings in Old Town?

Yes. We inspect the floor in person and recommend only systems the existing slab can support.
