EPOXY FLOOR COATING
IN BURNSVILLE, MN
Burnsville is one of our busiest service areas, partly because so much of the city's housing stock is 30 to 50 years old. The garage slabs here have usually taken decades of road salt, freeze/thaw cycling, and tire wear — and they need real prep before any coating goes down.

WHAT WE SEE
ON BURNSVILLE SLABS
Most of Burnsville built out between the late 60s and the 90s, which means a lot of the garage slabs we coat here are 30 to 50 years old. That age shows up in predictable ways — scaling near the overhead door from years of salt and ice melt, control joints that have widened or chipped at the edges, and shrinkage cracks running across the slab. The commercial corridor along Highway 13 and Burnsville Parkway has its own profile: older warehouse floors with heavier abrasion wear and sometimes a failed prior coating that needs full mechanical removal before re-coating.
We run the slab through diamond grinding, fill the joints and cracks with a polyurea repair compound, and address scaling and pitting before the first epoxy coat touches the concrete. That's the only way a finish coat lasts in this climate.
- Heavy chloride contamination on older slabs from decades of road salt
- Original control joints and saw cuts often need V-cutting and re-fill
- Hot tire pickup on uncoated slabs is common and gets worse every summer
- Diamond grinding on every job — no acid wash, no shortcuts
- Sherwin-Williams industrial epoxy and polyaspartic products
- 10-year written warranty on every installation

NEIGHBORHOODS
WE SERVE
Burnsville is one of the inner-ring Dakota County suburbs, fully built out and now in a cycle of renovation and renovation rather than new construction. The city sits along the Minnesota River bluff line, and the elevation changes between north and south Burnsville create drainage variance that affects how slabs handle snowmelt pooling through the winter months.

FREQUENTLY ASKED
QUESTIONS
Burnsville-specific questions we hear often — answered straight.
How old are typical Burnsville garage slabs?
Most of Burnsville's residential construction happened between the late 1960s and the 1990s, which puts the typical garage slab somewhere between 30 and 55 years old. At that age you can count on surface scaling, widened control joints, and some degree of chloride saturation near the overhead door — all of which are addressed during the prep phase before any coating goes down.
Do you do commercial floor work along the Burnsville Parkway corridor?
Yes. The commercial and light-industrial corridor along Highway 13 and Burnsville Parkway is one of our regular work areas. Commercial slabs there often have failed prior coatings, heavier abrasion wear, and sometimes thicker slabs that take longer to grind correctly. We assess every commercial slab individually before quoting.
What's the difference between epoxy and polyaspartic, and which should I use for a Burnsville garage?
Epoxy is the base coat — it bonds to the concrete and builds film thickness. Polyaspartic is the topcoat — it handles UV, chemical resistance, and the final hardness. On a Burnsville garage floor, we run both: epoxy broadcast coat with full-chip flake, then a polyaspartic topcoat that seals the system and provides long-term durability through Dakota County winters.
My older Burnsville garage floor has a failed epoxy coating from a previous contractor. Can you re-coat it?
Yes, but the failed coating has to come off first. We never put a new coating over a failing one — it just delays the problem by a year or two before both layers come up together. Full mechanical removal, fresh diamond grinding to a clean profile, then a properly applied new system is the right approach.
