Epoxy Flooring in Romulus, MI

A lot of the epoxy flooring we quote in Romulus is for floors that work for a living. Romulus is home to Detroit Metropolitan Airport, and I-94 and I-275 both run through the city. Around them are fulfillment centers, a large engine plant, fuel companies and the smaller businesses that serve them. Those floors take forklifts, carts, pallet jacks and spilled fluids every day. We also coat plenty of home garages and basements here.

Big names on the industrial side

Amazon's DTW1 fulfillment center opened in Romulus in 2018 with about 1,600 workers. Kroger built a $95 million automated fulfillment center in the city in 2021. General Motors has run its Romulus Engine plant since 1975. Large operations like these use their own flooring contractors. The work we see comes from the businesses that grow up around them: parts suppliers, small warehouses, trucking and repair shops, and storage buildings.

What a commercial floor needs

• Thicker build: 100% solids epoxy at a heavier film thickness for wheeled traffic.
• Chemical resistance: topcoats that hold up to oil, coolant, hydraulic fluid and cleaners.
• Safety: grit in the topcoat for traction and painted lines for aisles and walkways.
• Downtime planning: sections done in phases or a fast-cure system so the floor is out of service as little as possible.
• Joint and crack repair: chipped saw-cut joints get filled so wheels roll smoothly and edges stop breaking.

A big city with room

Romulus covers almost 36 square miles, and it only became a city in 1970. Its history goes back to 1835, when the township was set off from part of Huron Township. Outside the airport and the industrial corridors, there are neighborhoods and larger lots. On those lots we coat pole barns, detached shops and oversized garages where owners keep trucks, trailers, boats and equipment.

Home garages and basements

About 70% of Romulus homes are owner-occupied, and census figures put the average household at 2.61 people. Bigger households often mean more cars and a garage that doubles as storage. A flake coating with a polyaspartic topcoat suits that kind of garage. Basements get a solid color or light flake finish that is easy to mop.

Fluids, salt and freeway miles

Trucks and work vehicles that come off I-94 and I-275 in winter bring in salt, slush and road grime. In a shop or a garage that houses a work truck, those fluids mix with oil and coolant on the floor. A coated slab keeps them on the surface, where they can be squeegeed to a drain or mopped up. Bare concrete soaks them in, and the stains and smell stay. For shops with a floor drain we keep the slope intact so water still runs where it should.

Pole barns and outbuildings

Pole barn slabs are often poured thin, finished rough and left unsealed. Before coating we check for cracks, low spots and dusting. We grind, repair and then lay a shop-grade system. If the building is unheated, we schedule the work for a warm stretch or use a coating rated for cooler temperatures.

Picking the right system

We match the coating to the traffic. A home garage does not need the same build as a loading area, and a shop with a lift needs more than a basement. The written quote names the system, the thickness and every prep step.
