Epoxy Flooring in Deerfield, IL

Most epoxy flooring we quote in Deerfield goes over concrete poured during one decade. The village had 3,288 residents in 1950 and 11,786 in 1960, an increase of 258.5%. It added more through 1970, reaching 18,876, and then barely changed. In 2020 the count was 19,196. That means the bulk of Deerfield's 7,436 housing units have garages and basements that are now sixty years old or more.

A village that stopped growing out

Deerfield's land filled up early. By 1917 the original farms had already become homes or golf courses, and after 1970 the population leveled off. With little open land left, families here tend to improve the house they have. A garage or basement floor is one of the simpler upgrades. It does not change the footprint, it needs no addition, and it turns a dusty slab into a finished surface.

Polyaspartic for a short downtime

Many Deerfield households have two working adults and two cars, with an average household size of 3.02. Being without the garage for several days is a hassle. For those owners we often suggest a polyaspartic topcoat. It cures much faster than a standard epoxy topcoat, so the garage can usually go back into service sooner. We still grind the slab and repair cracks first. Speed on the coating side does not shortcut the prep.

Old concrete under a new look

A slab from the late 1950s usually tells us a few things:

• It has cracks, and some of them have been patched before.
• It may have floor paint or an old sealer that has to come off.
• The front edge may be scaled from decades of salted slush.
• The floor may slope unevenly toward the door or a drain.

We address each of these in the written quote, so you can see what the repair work is and what the coating is.

Finished basements

Basements in Deerfield are often finished or half-finished: a play room, a home office, a gym or a laundry area. Bare concrete there gives off dust and holds odors. A basement floor epoxy or flake system gives you a hard, washable surface. We test for moisture first, since a damp slab can push a coating off from below. If the readings are high, we will tell you before you spend money on it.

Corporate and commercial floors

Deerfield is home to large employers, including Walgreens Boots Alliance, Baxter and Fortune Brands. Not every floor in a commercial building is carpet. Loading areas, mechanical rooms, storage rooms and back-of-house spaces in office and retail buildings are concrete, and they take wear. We coat those with commercial epoxy systems and can work evenings or weekends when the space is less busy.

How we price a Deerfield floor

No two sixty-year-old slabs are the same, so we do not quote over the phone. At the visit we measure, check moisture, and mark every crack and patch. The quote breaks out:

• Grinding and removal of paint or sealer
• Crack and joint repair, by the linear foot
• The base coat, flake or color layer, and topcoat
• Any extra work, such as stem walls or steps

You can then compare a standard epoxy system against a faster polyaspartic one and decide what matters more to you, cost or downtime.

Keeping it looking new

A coated floor is easy to care for. Sweep or blow out grit, mop with a mild cleaner, and squeegee out slush in winter so salt brine does not sit on the topcoat for weeks. Put a mat under any car that drips oil. That is about all a well-installed floor needs.
