Epoxy Floor Coatings in Cedar Hill TX - a coated floor that grips and stays put
Stained, peeling or dusty concrete floor? We get the slab ready first, then lay down an epoxy coating that stays put.
I look at every floor myself
I come out to every job, check the slab and write the estimate myself, so the person pricing your floor is the one who's seen what's under it. Our own trained installers do the prep and the coating.
Coating concrete floors since 2013
I started this business in 2013 after learning concrete prep and coatings beside an installer who'd done it a long time. Thirteen years in, prep is still where we spend the most time on a floor.
Fully licensed and insured for your job
We're fully licensed and insured, which is the first thing I'd ask about before letting any contractor into my garage. If you're ready to talk floors, call (972) 299-0201 or send us a few details.
Epoxy floor coatings in Cedar Hill, TX
An epoxy floor coating is a hard, glossy resin finish bonded to bare concrete, and it's what we lay in garages, shops and kitchens around Cedar Hill. If your floor is stained, dusty or shedding an old coating, it gives you a clean surface that holds on.
At Cedar Hill Epoxy Flooring, I price a floor by what it needs, not only its size. Square footage matters, but so do cracks, an old coating to strip, damp in the slab and how many coats your system takes, which is why the written estimate I leave you spells out the prep and every coat. Before we start, we check with your city's building office, and if the job calls for a permit, we handle the paperwork.
The schedule turns on the slab and the system you pick. One coatings maker wants new concrete at least 28 days old before its coatings go on, so a fresh pour sets the earliest start, and the coating you choose decides how soon you can park again. We're based in Cedar Hill and work across it and the cities around it, where July and August highs run near 96 degrees, so we pick the install day with the weather in mind.
Epoxy floor coatings and the prep behind them
Grinding and a damp check first
Epoxy is only as good as the slab it grips, so we grind the concrete and check it for damp before we mix anything. Grinding takes off the smooth top skin, old sealer and surface grime, and one coatings maker's instructions call for the concrete to be roughened, preferably by machine, and cleaned of all dust and debris before epoxy goes on. If the slab shows more damp than a coating can handle, we deal with that before any epoxy goes down.
Every coat named on your estimate
A lot of quotes just say "epoxy," but a quote may pair an epoxy base coat with a polyaspartic topcoat, so the name alone leaves out part of what you're buying. We name every layer in the system, so when you compare quotes you can ask the other contractor what each coat is and weigh like against like. Where sun or bright shop lights reach the floor, one maker's guide says a seal coat of aliphatic urethane, the top layer, keeps its color steadier, so I'll ask about light when I'm out.
Garage, shop and kitchen floors
Most of our calls come from homeowners around Cedar Hill, and for garage floor coatings we can spread vinyl chips into the coat, which one maker notes can give a multi-colored floor that looks like terrazzo or granite. We also coat shop, kitchen and warehouse floors that have to take a beating, and you can read how we plan that work on our commercial and industrial epoxy floor coatings page. Not sure which fits your space? That's one of the first things I'll ask.

(972) 299-0201How an epoxy floor job goes with us
You call, I come out
You call or send a message, and I come out to look at the floor, check the slab and hear what you want from the space. Is it a parking spot, a workshop, a home gym? That changes the system.
Your written estimate
The written estimate also tells you straight if your slab needs repair first or just isn't a fit for epoxy, because I'd rather say so now than sell you a floor that lets go. Once you're happy, we set an install day.
Installers coat, then we walk it
Our own installers do the grinding, cleaning and coating, so the crew in your garage is ours. When the last coat is down, I walk the finished floor with you before we pack up.
Epoxy floor questions from Cedar Hill
How much does an epoxy floor coating cost in Cedar Hill?
Installed residential floor coating systems in the Dallas-Fort Worth area usually cost about $5 to $12 per square foot, going by prices local contractors advertise. That's a planning figure, not our price. Where your floor lands depends on its condition and the system, and the written estimate I leave after seeing it gives you your own figure.
How soon can I park on a new epoxy garage floor?
One Dallas-Fort Worth coating company says professional epoxy takes 3 to 5 days before parking, while polyaspartic systems are often ready for vehicles in 24 hours. If you need the garage back quickly, tell me at the estimate and we'll weigh that gap when we choose your system.
Do I need a permit for an epoxy floor in Cedar Hill?
Cedar Hill's permit list doesn't name floor coatings, so it's worth asking the city. Cedar Hill Building Inspections issues permits for any construction, alteration or repair of any building, and its list names roofing and plumbing. Call 972-291-5100, ext. 1090, and if your address is in the Ellis County part of Cedar Hill, ask which office covers it.
Why do some epoxy floors peel off the concrete?
One reason is moisture rising through the slab, which can keep epoxy from curing fully where it meets the concrete, weakening its grip and sometimes making it peel. One maker's guide says epoxy goes on only when the concrete holds no excessive moisture and gives off little moisture vapor, and that's the check we do first.
