New Floors for Long-Held Homes

Epoxy flooring in Duncanville often means giving an older garage slab a second life. Duncanville grew fast in the decades after it incorporated on August 2, 1947: the Census counted 3,774 residents in 1960, 14,105 in 1970 and 27,781 in 1980. Many garage floors here have decades of oil drips, paint spills, old sealers and patched cracks. People also tend to stay put. Census estimates show 93.1% of residents lived in the same house a year earlier. If you plan to keep your home, a properly installed garage floor epoxy system is a practical upgrade you will use every day.

What decades on a slab look like

Older concrete brings its own set of issues. Oil soaks deep into the surface and keeps wicking back up, which can lift a coating if it is not dealt with. Previous owners may have rolled on paint or a clear sealer that blocks new coatings from bonding. Control joints may be chipped from years of use. We start by grinding off whatever is on top, testing stained areas and treating oil spots before any coating goes down.

A compact, settled city

Duncanville covers just 11.20 square miles of land in southwest Dallas County, and the 2020 Census counted 40,706 people. Households average 2.98 people, about 66.0% of homes are owner-occupied, and the median owner-occupied value is $255,500. With homes priced like that, owners here usually want value: a floor that looks sharp, cleans easily and does not need redoing in a few years. A standard flake system is a common choice for exactly that reason.

Permits and code

Duncanville's building inspection page says permits are required for nearly any construction-related project on residential and non-residential property, and lists the 2015 International Residential Code among the adopted codes. A coating applied over an existing slab is generally surface work, but if you are converting the garage to living space, pouring new concrete or changing the structure, check with the city first. We are glad to coat the floor once that part is settled.

Duncanville Questions

My Duncanville garage floor has years of oil stains. Will epoxy stick?

It can, with the right prep. We grind the surface, then degrease and test the stained areas. Deep oil that keeps coming back may need extra treatment or a specific primer. We check this during the estimate so there are no surprises later.

Someone painted my garage floor years ago and it is peeling. What now?

Peeling paint has to come off completely. We grind it down to sound concrete before applying anything. Coating over failing paint is the most common reason a new floor lets go.

Do I need a city permit to coat my garage floor in Duncanville?

The city requires permits for nearly any construction-related project. Coating an existing slab is surface work, but if it is part of a garage conversion or new concrete pour, call the city's permit office to confirm what applies before we schedule.

How long until I can park in the garage again?

It depends on the system. With polyaspartic, many floors can take foot traffic the same day and vehicles within a day or so. Standard epoxy systems take longer. Your written quote will list the cure time for the system you choose.
