Two Kinds of Slab in One Small City

Epoxy flooring in Richmond Heights covers an unusual mix. ACS figures on Point2Homes show 42.6% of the city's housing built in 1939 or earlier, then a long quiet stretch, then a jump: 13.2% of all housing went up between 2010 and 2019. The median home dates to 1947. In practice that means two very different slabs, and two different ways of preparing them.

Pre-war homes

Older houses here often have basements and small garages with no vapor barrier, worn surfaces and old patches. On those floors we:

Run a moisture test before recommending any system.
Grind off paint, sealers and stains to open the concrete.
Fill pits and cracks with a patch compound meant to sit under a coating.
Use a moisture-tolerant primer if the readings call for it.

New construction from the 2010s

Recent slabs are usually flatter and poured over a vapor barrier. They can still have curing compounds or sealers on the surface that block adhesion, and very new concrete needs time before it is ready. We check, rather than assume, and grind the surface regardless, giving the coating an open profile to bond to.

Retail and service spaces

The Saint Louis Galleria is a major source of the city's revenue, and the surrounding shopping areas, a movie theater and a hospital run by the Sisters of Saint Mary add plenty of commercial floor. Back rooms, stock areas and maintenance shops in those buildings need coatings that resist carts, pallet jacks and cleaning chemicals. We plan those jobs around opening hours.

Many renters, many owners

About 54.3% of occupied homes are owned and 45.7% rented, and 42.2% of households are one person. For rental owners, a clean flake floor is quick to wipe down between tenants. For owner-occupants, we can talk through a longer-lasting build.

Richmond Heights Questions

My Richmond Heights home was built in 2015. Does it still need grinding?

Yes. Even a new slab can carry curing compounds or a smooth troweled finish that coatings struggle to hold onto. Grinding removes that and gives the primer an open surface to bond with.

How long should new concrete cure before coating?

It depends on the mix and conditions, but we never rely on the calendar alone. We test moisture and only coat when the slab is ready.

Can you coat a stockroom or back-of-house floor near the Galleria?

Yes. We plan commercial work around store hours and use systems built for carts, pallet jacks and cleaners.

Is a flake floor a good idea for a rental?

For many owners it is. The texture hides wear, it cleans quickly, and it holds up to move-ins and move-outs.
