Epoxy Flooring in Ann Arbor Township, MI

Epoxy flooring in Ann Arbor Township covers ground that is easy to overlook. The township is separate from the city. It wraps around Ann Arbor to the north and east, with rural and suburban land, and had 4,673 residents in the 2020 census. The Legislative Council of the Michigan Territory organized it in 1827 as the Township of Ann Arbour. Homes range from older farmhouses to newer places on large lots, and the floors vary just as much.

What we coat out here

• Detached garages and barns used for vehicles, equipment and storage
• Attached garages on newer homes
• Workshops with benches, compressors and power tools
• Basements in homes on rolling or wooded lots
• Utility rooms around wells, water softeners and furnaces

Rural floors take a closer look

Outbuildings and older garages often had their slabs poured without a plan for a finished floor. We check for: 1. Cracks that run through the slab and keep moving 2. Edges that are thin or crumbling where the floor meets the wall 3. Low spots that hold water near the door 4. Old oil, paint or tar that has soaked deep into the surface

Most of these can be fixed during prep. When the concrete itself has failed, we say so before you spend money on a coating.

The Huron River and the Barton Pond edge

The Huron River runs through the township, with Geddes Dam in the southeast. The township also borders Barton Pond, the reservoir behind Barton Dam. Basements on lower ground near the river can carry more moisture. We take readings before choosing a primer and will not seal over a slab that is actively wet.

Mostly homeowners

Census QuickFacts shows about 65.2% of homes in the township are owner-occupied. Many owners here use the garage and outbuildings for more than parking. That shapes the floor we suggest:

• Flake systems for garages that see mud, snow and gravel from long driveways
• Shop-grade epoxy for floors with lifts, jacks or heavy tools
• Polyaspartic topcoats where the door stays open on sunny days and color stability matters

Getting a quote

We come out, measure the floor, check moisture and look at cracks and old coatings. Then you get a written quote with square footage, prep, each coat and the total. Nothing is added later without your approval in writing.

Equipment, chemicals and salt

A country garage sees more than road salt. Fertilizer, fuel, hydraulic fluid and lawn chemicals all end up on the floor sooner or later. Bare concrete absorbs them and holds the stain. A sealed coating keeps them on the surface. For heavy-use floors we suggest a chemical-resistant topcoat and a bit of texture for grip. Wipe spills up promptly and rinse the floor a few times a year.

Long driveways and gravel

Many township homes sit back from the road on long drives, some of them gravel. Small stones ride in on tires and boots and grind against the floor. A flake floor hides that grit, and a hard topcoat resists the scratching. A mat at the door and a quick sweep each week go a long way.

Season and scheduling

Detached garages and barns are rarely heated. That makes late spring through early fall the most reliable time to coat them. We check the slab temperature on the day of the job and reschedule if it is too cold for a proper cure.
