Epoxy Flooring in Roscoe, IL

Roscoe grew faster than almost any town around it in the 2000s, and that boom drives most of the epoxy flooring work we do across the state line here. The village went from 6,244 people in 2000 to 10,785 in 2010, a 72.7% jump. Housing went from 2,277 units in 2000 to 4,339 by 2020. In other words, close to half of the homes in Roscoe were added during the last two decades, and many of those garage slabs are now 15 to 25 years old.

What a 20-year-old garage floor looks like

A garage poured in the mid-2000s has been through about twenty Rock River winters. Even if it looked fine for the first few years, by now you may see: 1. Light pitting or scaling in the first few feet inside the door 2. Tire marks that will not scrub out 3. A hairline crack along a control joint or from a corner 4. A flaking kit coating that someone put down years ago 5. Dark rings where puddles of brine have dried

None of this is unusual. It is just the point where prep is still simple and a coating protects what is left.

Our process for a mid-life slab

We start by grinding the whole floor. That removes any failing kit coating, the salt-stained top layer and any builder sealer. We fill cracks and pits, and we cut control joints clean so they can be filled or left open, depending on your preference. Then the base coat, color or flake, and topcoat go down in order.

Illinois roads, same salt problem

Roads on the Illinois side get salted in winter just like roads in Rock County. That slush rides in on your tires. On bare concrete it soaks in and works on the surface each time it freezes and thaws. A sealed floor stops it at the top. A flake finish also helps hide salt film between rinses.

Three-car garages and bonus bays

Many boom-era homes have three-car garages, and the third bay often turns into a workshop, a gym or storage for a mower and snowblower. We can coat the whole floor in one system, or give the work bay a thicker build and extra grit while the parking bays get a standard finish. The quote shows the square footage for each area.

Older Roscoe, too

Roscoe is not only new subdivisions. The area was settled in the 1830s, the Galena and Chicago Union Railroad arrived in 1852, and the village sits along the Rock River near the historic Macktown site. Older homes near the original village have their own garage and basement floors, often with more cracking and patching. We handle those with extra repair before coating.
