Epoxy Flooring in Saline, MI

Epoxy flooring in Saline is a fitting job for a town named after salt. Native Americans gathered salt from springs near here before settlers came, and French explorers named the river for it. Today the salt that matters for your floor comes off the roads. Every winter it rides into the garage on tires and dries in white rings on bare concrete. A sealed floor keeps it on the surface so it rinses away.

A town that stays put

Saline had 8,948 residents in the 2020 census. Census QuickFacts lists about 69.2% of homes as owner-occupied, with a median value of $341,300. Most people we work with here are in their homes for the long haul. They want a floor that looks good for years, so they ask about:

• Full flake coverage with a clear topcoat
• Coating the stem walls and the garage step
• Basement floors for family rooms and workshops
• Colors that will not yellow near an open door

Downtown and the older streets

Saline was settled in 1832, became a village in 1866 and a city in 1931. Homes near downtown and along US 12 include older houses with detached garages and basements poured long before modern coatings existed. Those floors often have paint, patches and uneven edges. We grind them down to clean concrete, fill cracks and level low spots before any coat goes on.

Basements near the Saline River

The Saline River runs through town. Basements on lower ground near the river can pick up more moisture through the slab. Signs to watch for include: 1. A white powder on the floor or walls 2. Dark patches that come and go with the weather 3. A musty smell in summer 4. Old coatings that have bubbled or peeled

We test before we quote. Moderate readings call for a moisture-tolerant primer. Standing water or seepage needs to be fixed first.

Workshops and small businesses

Saline has a working side too. The Ann Arbor Railroad carries freight to an auto parts plant on Maple Road at the north end of the city. Many residents have home shops and hobby garages, and local businesses need durable floors as well. For those spaces we build thicker coats that stand up to rolling carts, jacks, dropped parts and solvent spills.

How we price

We measure, check the slab and give you a written quote with every step listed. Prices depend on size, prep and the system you choose.

Garages that hold more than cars

In a town where most people own their homes, the garage tends to fill up over the years. Shelving, a second freezer, bikes, lawn equipment and a workbench all share the floor. Before we coat, everything comes out so the full slab can be ground and coated wall to wall. Afterward, rubber feet or pads under shelving and the freezer protect the topcoat from point loads and scrapes. A coated floor also makes spilled paint, fertilizer and oil easy to clean before they set.

Getting through a Michigan winter

Saline gets the same snow and freeze-thaw cycles as the rest of Washtenaw County. A coated garage floor needs a little care in winter:

• Squeegee standing slush out the door every few days
• Use a mat under the car to catch most of the melt
• Rinse the floor with plain water at the end of the season
• Avoid metal shovel blades on the coating

Those habits keep the topcoat clear and the color even.

Scheduling

Unheated garages are easiest to coat from late spring through early fall. Heated basements can be done year round. We check slab temperature and moisture on the day of the job and reschedule if conditions are not right.
