Epoxy Flooring in Arlington, TX

Epoxy Flooring in Arlington starts with the garage for most of the homeowners who call us. The city counted 394,266 residents in the 2020 Census and about 151,697 housing units, and a large share of those homes have an attached garage slab that has never been sealed. Bare concrete dusts, soaks up oil and shows every tire mark. A properly prepped and coated floor cleans up with a mop, brightens the space and holds up to daily parking. Arlington is our home base, and every part of the city is in our service area.

Homes from every decade since the 1950s

Arlington grew fast after World War II. The city went from 7,692 people in 1950 to 90,229 in 1970 and 261,721 by 1990, according to Census history on Wikipedia. That means a drive across town can take you past garages poured in the 1960s, slabs from the 1980s building boom and newer construction from the last twenty years. Each age of concrete behaves differently. An older slab may have years of oil, old paint or sealer soaked in, plus hairline cracks that need repair before anything goes down. A newer slab may be smooth and dense, which sounds good but actually needs mechanical grinding so the coating has something to grip. We test and look at the concrete first and set the prep plan from what we find, not from a script.

What we install in Arlington

• Garage Floor Epoxy: the most common request, a full-build epoxy base with a protective topcoat for everyday parking, storage and workshop use
• Epoxy Flake Floors: decorative vinyl flake broadcast into the base coat, which hides dust and adds slip resistance
• Polyaspartic Floor Coating: a fast-curing, UV-stable system that suits garages with doors left open to the afternoon sun
• Metallic Epoxy Floors: a poured, swirled finish for game rooms, man caves, retail spaces and finished garages
• Patio & Outdoor Concrete Coatings: coatings for patios, porches and pool decks that face direct sun
• Commercial & Warehouse Floor Epoxy: heavier systems for shops, warehouses, auto bays and retail back rooms

Texas heat and storm season

Arlington has a humid subtropical climate with very hot, humid summers and mild winters. The city's record high is 113 degrees, set in 1936, and it averages about 40 inches of rain a year, with October the wettest month. Severe weather usually arrives in April and May. For a garage floor, that means two things. First, a closed garage in July gets hot, and heat shortens how long a coating can be worked, so we schedule installs for the cooler part of the day when we can. Second, humidity and moisture coming up through the slab affect how coatings bond. We check the slab before coating, and on outdoor work we favor UV-stable topcoats that will not yellow in direct sun.

Permits, City Hall and your floor

The City of Arlington lists painting, tiling, carpeting and similar finish work among the jobs that do not need a permit, while trade work such as electrical, plumbing and HVAC does. A floor coating on an existing slab falls in the finish-work category in most cases. If your project goes further, for example adding electrical outlets in the garage or pouring new concrete, check with the One Stop Development Center on the second floor of City Hall at 101 W. Abram Street or on ArlingtonPermits.com before work begins.

Keeping prep dust and rinse water out of the storm drain

Arlington's Stormwater Pollution Ordinance prohibits dumping material into the storm drain system, and city guidance names paints and concrete debris among materials commonly dumped there illegally. Our grinding equipment runs with dust collection, leftover product and containers leave with us, and we do not rinse coating residue down the driveway toward the curb.

Garages that work hard

Arlington is an industrial city as well as a residential one. General Motors opened its assembly plant here in 1954, and it is still the largest employer in the city with 8,919 workers in the 2024 report. Plenty of residents bring that habit home: project cars, tool chests, rolling jacks and a garage that works as a shop. For those floors we recommend a thicker build and a chemical-resistant topcoat so brake fluid, gasoline and hot tires do not lift or stain the finish. If you run a business, our commercial and warehouse floor systems are built for forklifts, carts and heavy foot traffic.

How an Arlington project runs

1. You call (817) 904-2240 or request a quote online, and we set a time to look at the floor. 2. We measure, check moisture and cracks, and talk through flake colors or a metallic look if you want one. 3. You get a written quote that lists the prep, the system and what is included. 4. On install day we grind, repair, coat and topcoat. Many garages are a one to two day job depending on the system. 5. We tell you when you can walk on it and when you can park on it.

Pricing depends on square footage, the condition of the slab and the system you pick, so we quote each floor after seeing it. Estimates are free.
