Concrete and epoxy work from a flooring contractor in Waxahachie, TX
Price mostly comes down to the floor's size, how much grinding and crack repair the slab needs, whether an old coating has to come off, and the finish you pick. Schedule turns on prep and cure time, and your free estimate puts a number on yours.
Run a shop, warehouse or restaurant kitchen? We put down heavier epoxy systems built for carts, forklifts and daily washdowns on floors that can't close for long.
Is your garage floor stained, dusty or peeling from an old paint job? We strip it, grind it and coat it so oil spots wipe up and the concrete stops dusting.
Polyaspartic is a coating that cures much faster than standard epoxy, so it suits homeowners who need the garage back quickly and want a finish that resists yellowing.
We pour metallic epoxy, a coating with fine pigments that swirl into a deep, marbled look, for living rooms, showrooms and basements where the floor is meant to be seen.
What holds up to hot oil, boiling water and constant washdowns? Urethane cement, a tough cement-based floor we install in commercial kitchens, breweries and food plants.
We grind your existing slab in steps until it shines, then harden and seal it, so you get a low-upkeep floor with no coating on top to peel.
Stained concrete gives a plain gray slab warm, mottled color that soaks into the surface, a good fit for patios, porches and indoor slabs going for an earthy look.
We install terrazzo, chips of marble or glass set in a binder and ground smooth, for lobbies, entries and homes that want a polished floor built for heavy traffic.
Basement slab cold, damp or stained? We check it for moisture first, then recommend a coating or polish that can handle what we find down there.
Most floor failures start under the coating, so we grind the slab to open up its surface and take off old sealers before anything new goes down.
A sealer keeps water, oil and stains from soaking into bare concrete, which suits driveways, patios and garage floors you'd rather leave plain but protected.
Is your concrete pitted, patched or worn but still solid underneath? A thin overlay gives it a fresh, even surface without tearing out the slab.
We pour self-leveling underlayment, a fluid cement that flattens uneven or sloping slabs, so tile, wood or a coating can go down on a flat surface.
Pool deck faded, cracked or rough? We repair the cracks, then resurface or coat the deck with a textured finish that's easier on bare feet.
We grind off failing epoxy, paint, glue and tile adhesive down to clean concrete, for owners starting over or getting a slab ready for new flooring.
Why we start with your slab
I first got to know concrete pouring and patching barn floors on our family farm, where anything that broke got fixed by us. After years on other people's crews, I started this business in Waxahachie in 2013. There's more of that on our about page, but the short version is that I still come out myself to look at your floor before we talk finishes.
Most of the floor failures I've seen started under the coating, the same way a tractor runs rough when nobody changed the filter. So most of our effort goes into prep, grinding, crack repair and getting old coatings off. If your slab isn't a good fit for the floor you have in mind, I'll tell you up front, even when that means a smaller job for us.
Our crew does the work, and I'm on the job with them. We're licensed and fully insured, and we work out of Waxahachie in many cities around it, including Midlothian, Ennis, DeSoto, Mesquite and Grand Prairie. Your satisfaction, guaranteed. When you're ready, reach us through our contact page.
Permits and slabs around Waxahachie
A few local things shape a floor job here, from who issues permits to how a remodel's paperwork can set the date your new floor goes down.
Who handles permits here
In Waxahachie, permits come from the city's Building and Community Services department. Whether a floor job needs one depends on the work, so we check with that office while we plan your job and take care of any permit it calls for. That way you aren't left guessing.
Floors that are part of a remodel
If new floors come with a remodel that changes your home's layout or structure, or with an addition, the city has a permit for that work. Its guide says plans missing any checklist item won't be accepted for review, and to allow at least 10 working days for review, so build that into your floor schedule.
What we see on slabs nearby
Around Waxahachie and cities like Red Oak, Glenn Heights and Cedar Hill, most calls are garages with peeling paint, patios and pool decks worn thin, and shop or kitchen floors that take a beating every day. The fix usually starts the same way, with careful prep before anything new goes down.

Questions about concrete floors in Waxahachie
How much does an epoxy garage floor cost in Waxahachie?
It depends on your floor, so the straight answer comes after I've seen it. Size, how much crack repair and grinding the slab needs, whether an old coating has to come off and which system you choose all move the price. That's why I come out and look before giving you a number.
Do I need a permit for new flooring in Waxahachie?
It depends on the work, so we check with the city before we start. The city's permit office issues permits, including one for remodels that change a home's structure or layout and for additions. We handle any permit your job calls for, so you don't have to sort it out yourself.
How do I get my garage ready for an epoxy floor coating?
Clear the floor and move anything stored along the walls, and tell us about any old paint, sealer or leaks you know of. We do the grinding, crack repair and cleaning ourselves, because that's the part that decides whether the coating stays bonded.
How long does it take to put in an epoxy floor?
It depends on the slab and the coating you pick. A floor with a lot of cracks or an old coating to strip takes longer, and each coat needs time to cure before you walk or drive on it. I'll go over the schedule for your floor when I come out.
Can you put epoxy on a basement floor that gets damp?
Sometimes, but it depends on how much moisture is coming through the slab. Moisture under a coating is one of the main reasons floors let go, so I look for signs of it before recommending anything. If a coating isn't a good fit, I'll tell you and suggest a finish that suits the slab.
Is polished concrete or epoxy better for a garage floor?
For most garages I'd lean toward a coating, because it covers old stains and oil wipes right off. Polished concrete is lower upkeep and has nothing to peel, but it shows the slab's existing marks and can stain if oil sits on it. I'll tell you which one your slab is better suited for.
Do you install concrete floors outside Waxahachie?
Yes, we're based in Waxahachie and work in many cities around it, including Lancaster, Venus and Hutchins. The work is the same wherever the slab is, prep first and then the floor. You can read about jobs in our home city on the Waxahachie flooring page.
