Coating a Garage That Is Still Fairly New

Epoxy flooring in Helotes usually goes down on concrete poured in the last twenty-five years. The median home here was built in 2006, and 61.8% of housing units date from 2000 or later, based on ACS figures summarized by Point2Homes. Nearly all of them, 98.4%, are detached houses, and 97% of occupied homes are owned. That is a lot of two- and three-car garages with clean, solid slabs, which is a good starting point.

Why a new slab still gets ground

New garage slabs are steel-troweled by the builder, leaving them smooth and tight. That finish is great for sweeping but bad for bonding, because resin has nothing to grip. Many new floors also have a curing compound or a clear sealer on top. We diamond-grind the whole slab to a consistent profile, then vacuum it clean. Skipping this step is why many DIY kits peel within a year or two on newer floors.

Moisture in a creek valley

Helotes sits in the valley of Helotes Creek where it exits the Texas Hill Country, at about 1,037 feet. Low ground in a creek valley can hold more moisture in the soil than a ridge top. Even a newer slab with a vapor barrier can show elevated readings after a wet spell. We test every floor and, if the numbers are high, use a primer designed to block moisture from below.

Picking a look for a large garage

Big garages give you room to play with color. Some ideas that work well:

A medium-gray flake blend that hides dust and tire marks
A darker border around a lighter field to define parking bays
A metallic finish in a garage used to display a car or motorcycle
Coated stem walls a few inches up the sides for a clean edge

Sample boards travel with us, and you can hold them up against your own cabinets and walls.

Festival weekends and scheduling

Helotes hosts its Cornyval festival each year from late April into early May, and Floore's Country Store has drawn crowds since 1946. If your street gets busy on event weekends, tell us and we can work around them so our trucks are not in the way.

Helotes Questions

My Helotes home was built in 2015. Do I really need grinding?

Yes. New garage floors are troweled smooth and often sealed, and coatings need an open surface to bond. Grinding is the step that keeps the floor from peeling.

Can a three-car garage be done in a single trip?

Usually, yes. A large garage may take an extra day, depending on prep and the system. We will give you the schedule in writing.

Will a coating affect anything my builder promised?

We cannot speak to your builder's terms. Read your builder paperwork before work starts, and ask the builder if you are unsure.

Can you coat the stem walls too?

We can run the coating several inches up the concrete curb along the walls. It gives a finished edge and makes mopping easier.
