One Town, Many Decades of Concrete

Epoxy flooring in Kirkwood starts with a simple question: when was your slab poured? Kirkwood was platted in 1852 as a railroad suburb, and building never really stopped. ACS data on Point2Homes shows 16.5% of homes built before 1940, 20.2% in the 1950s and 10.2% between 2000 and 2009. The median home dates to 1962. A coating plan for a 1920s detached garage looks nothing like one for a 2005 attached garage, and we price them that way.

Older garages near downtown

Homes built before 1940 near the original blocks can have small, detached garages with uneven floors. Typical findings include:

Low spots where water collects after rain.
Hairline and structural cracks from decades of settling.
Layers of paint, oil and sealer.

These floors need more grinding and patching. We show that labor plainly in the estimate.

Postwar and newer slabs

Garages from the 1950s and 1960s are usually attached and larger, but may still lack a vapor barrier. Newer homes generally have one. Either way, we run a moisture test before recommending a system, because the result decides whether a standard primer is enough.

A town of owners

About 77.2% of occupied homes in Kirkwood are owned and 74.7% of housing is single-family detached. People who plan to stay put usually ask for a long-lived floor. A full broadcast flake with a polyaspartic topcoat resists hot-tire pickup and winter salt better than a one-coat kit, and it hides the grit tracked in from the street.

Basements and hobby spaces

With so many older homes, Kirkwood has plenty of basements used for laundry, workouts and storage. A basement floor coating can brighten the room and make it easier to clean. If a basement shows signs of seepage, though, the water problem comes first. We will point that out rather than coat over it.

Planning around town life

Kirkwood fills up for the Greentree Festival each September and the farmers market draws crowds most of the year. If you need your garage back by a certain weekend, tell us. Cure times are part of the schedule we write down.

Kirkwood Questions

My Kirkwood garage is detached and very old. Is it worth coating?

If the slab is mostly sound, yes. Older garages need more grinding and crack repair, so the price reflects that. If the floor is badly broken, we will tell you a coating will not fix it.

Why does the price differ between two garages of the same size?

Prep. A newer slab may only need grinding, while an older one may need paint removal, patching and moisture treatment. We itemize these in writing.

Can you coat a basement that sometimes gets damp?

We test first. Light vapor can often be handled with a moisture-tolerant primer. Active leaks or standing water need to be fixed before any coating.

When can I put the car back in the garage?

That comes down to which system you choose and how warm it is. A polyaspartic topcoat usually lets you park sooner than an all-epoxy system. Your written quote includes the exact timing.
