Epoxy Flooring in Schaumburg, IL

Few suburbs grew as quickly as Schaumburg. Census counts on Wikipedia show 986 people in 1960, 18,724 in 1970 and 53,305 in 1980. By 2020 there were 78,723 residents and 33,459 housing units. Epoxy flooring in Schaumburg means working on garages poured across that whole run, from early 1960s subdivisions to homes built much later.

Weathersfield and the first wave

The biggest single piece of that growth was Weathersfield. Builder Alfred Campanelli started it in 1959 and eventually built more than 6,800 housing units. Garages in Weathersfield and nearby early subdivisions are now around sixty years old. On these floors we tend to see: 1. Long cracks that have opened and closed through decades of winters 2. Worn, chipped joints along the tire paths 3. Pitting and flaking near the door from road salt 4. Paint or sealer from earlier owners

These floors need full grinding and repair before any coating. Once that is done, they take a flake or polyaspartic system very well.

Newer homes, different problems

Homes from the 1980s and later usually have sounder slabs. Their issue is usually the surface. A hard, smooth trowel finish looks fine but does not let a coating bond. We grind every floor, new or old. Newer homes are also where people ask for nicer finishes, since the floor is often the last thing in the garage that looks dated.

Two counties, two rivers

Schaumburg sits in both Cook and DuPage counties. The West Branch of the DuPage River starts in the village and drains its central and western parts. The West Branch of Salt Creek drains the east side and flows into Busse Lake. Where storm water sits near the house, basement and garage slabs can stay damp. We check moisture in every space before we recommend a system.

Commercial floors near Woodfield

Woodfield Mall opened in 1971, and the village has grown into a major business center. Wikipedia lists the mall as the largest employer at 4,400 workers, with large offices for Zurich North America, Motorola Solutions and others. Retail and office buildings have floors people do not see: stock rooms, loading areas, mechanical rooms and maintenance shops. We coat those with thicker commercial epoxy that stands up to carts, pallet jacks and cleaning chemicals, and we can work after hours.

Townhomes and associations

Schaumburg has many townhome and condo communities with attached garages. Some associations set rules on garage work or own the slab outright. Check with your board before you book. We can provide a written scope, product data sheets and our install schedule for the board to review.

Choosing what to install

• Flake floor: our most common Schaumburg garage system. It hides dirt and adds grip.
• Polyaspartic topcoat: quick to cure and stays clear in sunlight.
• Basement floor epoxy: for finished and storage basements after a moisture test.
• Commercial epoxy: for back-of-house and light industrial space.

Every estimate comes with a written, itemized price. Call (224) 501-9895 to book.

After the coating goes down

Winter is when a Schaumburg garage floor works hardest. We suggest squeegeeing out standing slush every week or two and giving the floor a full rinse in spring to clear salt film. Use mats under kickstands and jack stands. A well-installed floor needs little else. If something heavy gouges it, we can repair that spot without redoing the whole garage.
