Garages From the Postwar Building Boom

Epoxy flooring in Terrell Hills, more often than not, goes onto a garage slab poured in the 1950s. That single decade accounts for 39.6% of the city's housing, and the median home was built in 1957, based on ACS figures summarized by Point2Homes. Development began in 1919 when Frederick Terrell sold 22.5 acres to a private association, and the community incorporated in 1939. What came after the war is what most residents park in today.

Common traits of a 1950s slab

Garages from this period were sized for smaller cars and often built with a single bay or a narrow double. The concrete is usually cured hard after decades, which is good for strength but tough on prep, since a dense surface needs a thorough grind to open its pores. Expect to see:

Oil and transmission stains soaked deep into the surface
Control joints that have widened or chipped at the edges
Low spots near the door where water collects
Old repair patches that are not level with the surrounding slab

We level what we can, fill joints and degrease heavy stains before priming.

Choosing a finish for a small garage

In a tight one-car garage, a light color makes a real difference. A gray or tan flake blend reflects more light, so the space feels larger and a dropped screw is easier to spot. If the garage doubles as a workshop, ask about a thicker basecoat under the flake so a dropped wrench does not chip through.

A city of detached homes

Roughly 88.6% of housing units in Terrell Hills are detached single-family homes and 81.3% are owner-occupied. That is a high share of households with their own garage and the freedom to upgrade it. Since there are few shared walls or HOA-run spaces, the decision usually comes down to what the owner wants from the room, whether that is parking, storage, a gym or a hobby bench.

Planning the job day by day

Expect two to three days for most garages here; prep and the chosen system set the exact count. Day one is usually grinding, crack repair and the base layer. The flake and topcoat follow. Before we leave, we give you two times: one for foot traffic, one for the car.

Terrell Hills Questions

Can deep oil stains in a 1950s garage be removed before coating?

Most can be pulled out with degreasers and grinding. Some very old stains leave a shadow, which a flake floor hides well. Oil left in the concrete can stop a coating from bonding, so we deal with it first.

My one-car garage is cramped. Will a coating make it feel bigger?

A light flake or solid color reflects overhead light and brightens the room noticeably. Paired with better lighting, it can make a small garage much easier to work in.

What do you do about chipped control joints?

Each joint is cleaned out, then packed with a semi-rigid joint filler or with the coating, depending on whether you want the joint to show. We will show you both looks.

How soon can the car come back into the garage?

Under a polyaspartic topcoat, walking on the floor is usually fine by the next day and cars can return within a few days. Epoxy-only systems take longer. We give you the timing for your system in writing.
