Refreshing a Sixty-Year-Old Garage

Epoxy flooring in Castle Hills usually begins by stripping away what earlier owners put down. Almost half of the city's housing, 49.4%, was built in the 1960s, and another 21.8% in the 1950s, based on ACS figures summarized by Point2Homes. The median home dates from 1965. Over sixty years, a garage floor can collect paint, sealer, carpet glue, tile adhesive and a lot of oil. A new coating will not hold until every bit of that is gone.

What we often find under a 1960s garage

When we grind an older floor, we commonly uncover:

Several layers of garage floor paint, often in different colors
Mastic or glue from old carpet or vinyl tile in converted rooms
Oil and brake fluid soaked deep into low spots
Patches from plumbing or slab repairs over the years

We plan extra time for this and list it on the quote so there are no surprises.

Converted garages and family rooms

Some ranch homes from this era had their garages turned into dens, bedrooms or offices. If you are pulling up old carpet or tile in one of those rooms, a resin floor is a durable option. Indoors, metallic epoxy or a single color finished in satin is a good fit, and we can add a moisture-mitigating primer if the slab tests damp.

An owner-occupied enclave

Castle Hills is an independent city surrounded by San Antonio, about seven miles north of downtown, with Interstate 410 running through the middle. About 78.9% of occupied homes are owned and 81.8% of units are detached houses. Most properties are single-family homes, and residents' median age was 48.4 at the 2020 census.

Choosing a color for an older home

Ranch homes often have brick or stone exteriors in warm tones. A flake blend with tan, brown and gray chips can tie the garage to the house. If you plan to sell, neutral blends appeal to the widest range of buyers.

Castle Hills Questions

Can you remove carpet glue from a converted garage floor?

Yes. We grind off mastic and adhesive as part of prep. Some old adhesives need special handling, so we check before we start.

Is my 1960s slab strong enough for a coating?

Most slabs from that era are fully cured and strong. Surface wear and old coatings are the usual issues, and grinding handles both.

What if my garage floor has multiple paint colors on it?

That is common. We grind through every layer until only bare concrete is left, which gives the new system a clean surface to bond to.

Can a converted den get a resin floor too?

Yes. Indoor rooms often suit metallic or solid-color finishes, and we test moisture first since many older slabs lack a vapor barrier.
