Epoxy Floor Coatings
For a garage, basement or workroom slab that's dusty, stained or hard to clean, epoxy gives you a hard, glossy surface that wipes up easily.

Slabworks Epoxy Floors of Waxahachie is a flooring contractor working in Mesquite, TX. We coat, polish, stain, seal and resurface concrete in garages, patios, pool decks, basements, shops and kitchens for homeowners and businesses.
In Mesquite, Slabworks Epoxy Floors of Waxahachie handles the full run of concrete floor work, from epoxy and polyaspartic garage coatings to polished, stained and resurfaced slabs. Calls here are usually about a garage that's stained or flaking, a patio or pool deck that's worn, or a shop or kitchen floor that takes a beating every day.
Concrete floors we work on in Mesquite
A lot of the garages we see in Mesquite have been lived in hard. There's oil soaked into the concrete, a store-bought paint kit that's lifting at the tire marks, or a crack someone filled years back. None of that rules out a good floor, but it all has to come out or be repaired first, because a coating only holds as well as the concrete under it.
We're a flooring contractor based in Waxahachie, TX, and Mesquite is one of many cities around it where we do the same work, along with Grand Prairie and DeSoto. Businesses here call us too, for shop floors that see forklifts and carts and kitchen floors that get washed down every night, where the finish has to suit the work and not just look good on day one.

Floor services we offer in Mesquite
Commercial & Industrial Epoxy Floor Coatings
Shop, warehouse and restaurant floors in Mesquite take carts, forklifts and spills every day, so we build a coating system matched to the traffic and chemicals in your space.
Garage Floor Coatings
When the garage floor has oil spots, hot-tire marks or a peeling paint kit, we grind it clean and lay down a coating built for parking and working on.
Polyaspartic Floor Coatings
A good fit when you want the garage back in service sooner, because polyaspartic cures faster than most epoxy and holds its color better in sunlight.
Metallic Epoxy Flooring
For a living area, showroom or finished garage where you want the floor to be the centerpiece, metallic epoxy gives a swirled, glossy look no two floors share.
Urethane Cement Flooring
Commercial kitchens and food prep areas that see hot water, grease and daily washdowns need urethane cement, which handles heat and moisture better than a standard epoxy.
Polished Concrete Flooring
If your slab is sound and you'd rather skip a coating, we grind and polish the concrete itself into a hard, shiny floor with no coating on top to peel.
Stained Concrete Flooring
Stain soaks into the concrete and gives it a warm, mottled color, which suits patios, living areas and slabs with some character you'd like to keep.
Terrazzo Flooring
For lobbies, entryways or a home where the floor is meant to last a long time, terrazzo sets chips of stone or glass in a binder and grinds them smooth.
Basement Flooring
Basement slabs tend to sit damp and cold, so we check the concrete for moisture first and pick a system suited to what we find down there.
Concrete Grinding & Surface Preparation
Before any coating goes down, we grind off old sealer, glue and laitance, the weak top skin on concrete, so the new floor has clean, open concrete to grab.
Concrete Sealing
A clear sealer helps a driveway, patio or bare garage slab shed oil and water stains, and it's a simpler step when the concrete is already in good shape.
Concrete Resurfacing & Overlays
When a patio or garage slab is pitted, flaking or covered in patches, a thin cement overlay gives it a fresh, even surface without tearing out and repouring.
Self-Leveling Concrete & Overlays
If a floor is out of level or wavy from old patches, a self-leveling layer flows out flat, giving tile, wood or a coating a true surface to sit on.
Pool Deck Coatings & Resurfacing
Faded, cracked or slick pool decks get repaired and recoated with a textured finish that's easier on bare feet and gives better grip when it's wet.
Concrete Floor Stripping & Removal
Old epoxy, paint, tile glue or failing sealer has to come off before anything new goes down, and we strip it back to bare concrete with our grinders.

(972) 903-8033Working in Mesquite: permits, inspections and what sets your price
In Mesquite, the city's Building Inspection division issues construction permits. Its list doesn't name floor coatings either way, so we check with the city while we plan your job and handle any permit the work calls for. When a permit applies, the city inspects the work, and it has to stay open to see until it's approved, so the inspection can set the order and pace of the job.
Anyone who pulls a permit in Mesquite applies for the city's Professional License first, so it's fair to ask a contractor whether they're set up with the city, along with whether they're insured. We're licensed and fully insured, and I'll answer those questions straight when I come out to look at your floor.
Price comes down to the size of the floor, how much grinding and crack repair the slab needs, whether an old coating has to come off, and the system you pick, since a flake or metallic finish takes more steps than a clear sealer. The schedule turns on that same prep, plus any permit. You'll get your own number once I've seen the floor in person.
Why we spend the time on prep
I started this business in Waxahachie in 2013, after years on other people's crews, and I first got to know concrete pouring and patching barn floors on our family farm. What stuck with me is that most floor failures start under the coating. So we spend the time on grinding, crack repair and moisture checks that a quick job skips, because that's the part you can't fix later without starting over.
Before you pick a finish, I'll show you what's going on with your slab and explain why each step is there, so you know what you're paying for. I'm on the job with our crew, so the person who looked at your floor is the one watching it go down. Your satisfaction, guaranteed.
If you'd like to know what your floor can and can't do, call (972) 903-8033 or send us your project details. We take calls Monday through Sunday, 6 AM to 11 PM. You can also look over our garage floor coatings and polished concrete pages first to see the options.
What we run into on Mesquite floors
Every slab tells you something before you coat it. These are the things we look for most often on homes and businesses in Mesquite, and how each one changes the way we do the job.
Garages used as workshops
Plenty of garages here do double duty as a shop, a gym or a place to work on the truck. That means dropped tools, jack stands, solvents and rolling chairs, not just parked cars. We ask how you use the space before we suggest a system, because a floor that's fine for parking can chip under a dropped wrench or soften under brake cleaner.
Old coatings and sealers
A lot of slabs we look at already have something on them, whether it's a hardware-store paint kit, an old sealer or tile glue from a past remodel. A new coating sitting on a failing old one will lift right along with it, like bolting a new part onto a rusted mount. We grind or strip it all back to bare concrete first.
Pool decks and patios
Outdoor slabs take bare feet, pool water, chlorine and patio furniture dragged across them. We look for cracks, hollow spots and old coatings coming loose, then pick a textured finish so the deck has some grip when it's wet. If a deck has settled badly or has big structural cracks, I'll tell you plainly that a coating won't fix that.
Cracks and old patches
Most slabs have a few cracks and patched spots. We open up and fill cracks before coating so they don't telegraph, or show back through, the new floor. A coating can't stop a slab that's still moving, though, so I'll point out which cracks look stable and which ones may come back, and you'll know what to expect before you choose.
Questions Mesquite homeowners ask about floor coatings
Do I need a permit for an epoxy garage floor in Mesquite?
The city's rules don't name floor coatings, which is why we ask the city before we start, as covered above. Mesquite's permit FAQ lists cosmetic work like carpet, paint, cabinets and trim as needing no permit, while repairs, remodels and demolitions do need one. If your job turns out to need a permit, we handle it.
Can a homeowner pull their own building permit in Mesquite?
Yes, if you own the house, live in it and have it homesteaded through the Dallas Central Appraisal District. You'd apply for the city's Professional License first, which is free for work on your own homestead, then apply through Citizen Self Service, the city's online permit system. The city's permit process page walks through it, though on our jobs we handle any permit ourselves.
How much does an epoxy floor cost in Mesquite?
We give your price after I've seen the floor, since two garages the same size can be very different jobs. A slab with oil soaked in, wide cracks or a peeling old coating needs more grinding and repair than clean concrete, and that prep is where most of the difference in cost usually comes from.
How do I get my garage ready for a floor coating?
Clear out everything you can, including shelves that sit on the floor along the walls, so we can grind right up to the edges. Park outside, and tell us about any spots where the slab gets damp or the old coating is peeling, because those are the first places I'll want to check.
How long before I can walk or park on a new coated floor?
You can use the floor once the coating has cured to its maker's instructions, and that wait differs from one product to the next, for foot traffic and again for cars. Polyaspartic usually gets you back on it sooner than epoxy, as mentioned above. I'll walk you through the timing for your system before we start.
Is my Mesquite home in a FEMA floodplain?
You can find out on FEMA's floodplain map or by calling the city's stormwater staff at 972-329-8537, and the city's floodplain page points to both. It's worth checking if a patio or pool deck project comes with yard or drainage changes, since the city issues a separate grading permit for filling, grading or digging on a property.
