Epoxy Flooring in Taylor, MI

Taylor is the most populous city Downriver, and epoxy flooring jobs here cover a lot of ground. The 2020 census counted 63,409 people and 26,770 housing units across 23.6 square miles. That is a lot of garages and basements, and they do not all look alike. We see one-car detached garages, attached two-car garages, basements that need a clean washable floor and small shops that need something tougher.

From farm township to city

Taylor began as a township in 1847, when residents in the western part of Ecorse Township asked to split off. It was named for Zachary Taylor, who later became president. For years it was mostly rural farmland with little development. Voters approved becoming a city in November 1966, and the charter was finalized in March 1968. Homes went up over many decades, so the slab under one Taylor garage can be a very different age from the one a few streets away.

Commuter garages and winter salt

Interstate 94 crosses the north side of the city, I-75 clips the southeast corner, and Telegraph Road runs right through the middle. A lot of Taylor households drive those roads every day. In winter that means wet, salted tires rolling into the garage twice a day. On bare concrete the brine soaks in. On a coated floor it stays on top, and a squeegee pushes it out the door.

For a busy family garage we usually suggest: 1. Grinding the slab and repairing cracks and pits. 2. A base coat with a full flake broadcast for texture and grip. 3. A clear topcoat that stands up to hot tires and dropped tools.

Value and budget

Census estimates put the median value of an owner-occupied home in Taylor at $152,600, and about two-thirds of homes are owner-occupied. Most owners here want a floor that holds up without overspending. We price the system to the floor. A basement that only needs a solid color coat costs less than a garage with old paint to grind off and a dozen cracks to fill. The written quote lists each step so you can see where the money goes.

Which services fit

• Garage floor coating for daily-driver garages off I-94 and Telegraph.
• Basement floor coating for laundry rooms, storage and play areas.
• Shop and commercial floor epoxy for home shops and small business spaces.
• Concrete crack and floor repair for older slabs with settlement cracks or chipped joints.
• Polyaspartic floor coating when the garage has to be back in use quickly.
• Metallic epoxy floors for a finished basement or bar area.

Home shops and side businesses

On a city this size we also see home shops in detached garages and small business spaces. These floors need more than a standard garage coat. We use a thicker shop-grade epoxy and a topcoat that resists oil, coolant and cleaners, and we fill chipped joints so carts roll smoothly. If the shop has a lift, we check the slab under the posts before coating.

What the visit covers

At the free estimate we measure the floor, take a moisture reading, and look for paint, sealer, oil stains and cracks. We ask how the space is used and what you want it to look like. Then you get one written price that names the system, the number of coats and the prep work.

Rentals and resale

With about a third of homes rented, landlords in Taylor ask us about basement and garage floors between tenants. A coated floor wipes clean, does not hold oil stains and makes a unit easier to show. Owners getting ready to sell ask for the same reason.
