Epoxy Flooring in Stoughton, WI

Stoughton sits on both banks of the Yahara River about 20 miles southeast of Madison, and our epoxy flooring work here covers a wide spread of concrete. Some garages sit behind houses that the city shows off every December during its Victorian Holiday Weekend. Others are attached to homes built in the last few decades. Plenty of people in town also spend their workday on a plant floor, and many bring that standard home to their own garage or hobby shop.

A cold record on the books

The weather station at the Stoughton Wastewater Treatment Plant has logged a record low of -35°F. Its 1991 to 2020 normals show about 35.5 inches of snow and 37.79 inches of total precipitation a year. That is a lot of water to move off a garage floor. Snow melts off the car, runs into low spots, and freezes again overnight if the garage is unheated. On bare concrete the cycle opens small pits that grow every season. A sealed floor sends that meltwater toward the door instead.

Older garages near downtown

Stoughton was founded in 1847 by Luke Stoughton, and the downtown has a Main Street Commercial Historic District. The older streets around it hold Victorian homes, and the garages behind them were often added later on a small footprint. These slabs tend to have:

• Thin concrete with settlement cracks running corner to corner
• Patches from past repairs that sit higher or lower than the floor around them
• Old porch or floor paint that has worn off in the tire paths
• A slope toward an alley door that leaves puddles at one end

We grind all of that off, fill and level the patches, and tell you if a crack looks like it is still moving. For these floors we usually suggest a flake broadcast, because the chips hide small differences in the old surface.

Shop habits that come home

Stoughton Trailers keeps its corporate headquarters and a 680,000 square foot semi-trailer plant in the city, and Uniroyal Engineered Products, the maker of Naugahyde, is another large employer. People who work around welding, grinding and forklifts know what a hard-working floor looks like. For a home shop or an outbuilding where you weld, grind or rebuild engines, we build a thicker coating with a chemical-resistant topcoat and add grit where you stand at the bench. Spark and slag can still mark any resin, so we suggest a welding mat in the spot you use most.

Small business floors

The Main Street storefronts and the light industrial spaces on the edges of town have their own needs. A back room that gets mopped every night needs a seamless, washable surface. A service bay needs resistance to oil and brake fluid. A storage room needs a floor that does not shed dust onto stock. We schedule commercial work around your hours, and polyaspartic systems can let a small space reopen the next day.
