Epoxy Flooring in Garden City, MI

Epoxy flooring in Garden City often goes into a garage that is more than a parking spot. The city followed the garden city idea, with most home sites first sectioned into one-acre plots. Over time those plots were split, and many lots today are as small as 40 by 135 feet. On a narrow lot the garage often sits at the back, and it becomes the workshop, the storage room and the hobby space.

A city of owners

Garden City became a village in June 1927 and a city in 1933. Census estimates put the owner-occupied rate at about 79%, so roughly four out of five homes are lived in by the people who own them. People here tend to stay and improve the house they have. That shows up in the floors we coat: workshops with a bench and a compressor, garages with a second fridge, basements turned into family rooms.

Coatings for a workshop garage

A garage that is also a shop needs a floor that takes more than tire traffic.

• Shop and commercial floor epoxy: a thicker build that resists dropped tools, oil and solvents.
• Flake broadcast: texture underfoot and a finish that hides sawdust and grit.
• Light colors: a gray or light flake brightens a garage that only has one window.
• Crack repair: older slabs on these lots often have cracks that need filling before any coat goes down.

Small footprint, careful staging

On a narrow lot there is rarely room to empty a garage onto the driveway for a few days. We plan the job around that. Polyaspartic topcoats cure faster, so you can move things back sooner. We also talk through where your tools and storage will go during the install, so the schedule fits your property.

Basements in Garden City

Many Garden City homes have basements used for laundry, storage or a family room. A solid color epoxy brightens a dark space and wipes clean. A metallic epoxy floor turns a rec room into something you want to spend time in. We check moisture first and repair cracks before coating.

Older slabs on older lots

With a village dating to 1927 and a city charter from 1933, Garden City has some of the older housing in western Wayne County. Back-lot garage slabs were often poured without much reinforcement and have settled over the years. We look for cracks that run across the floor, edges that have broken away at the door, and spots where the slab has sunk. Small cracks and broken edges get repaired before coating. A slab that has moved a lot may need concrete work first, and we tell you that at the estimate.

What to expect at the estimate

We measure the garage or basement, take a moisture reading, and note old paint, oil stains and cracks. You get one written price listing the coating system, the coats and the prep. If you want the garage and basement done together, we quote them as separate lines so you can choose.

A few local firsts

Garden City is where Kmart opened its first store in 1962 and where the first Little Caesars opened in 1959. It is a small city, at about 5.9 square miles, with a lot of history packed into it. The housing is the same way: compact lots, older slabs and owners who care about them.
