EPOXY FLOOR CONTRACTOR
IN MINNEAPOLIS, MN
Minneapolis is mostly older housing — detached, alley-loaded garages with slabs poured anywhere from the 1920s to the 1960s. Those slabs need real work: severe pitting, spalling, decades of salt saturation, and almost always a failed prior coating that has to come off mechanically. We do a lot of grinding in the city.
Local Concrete Notes — Minneapolis
WHAT WE SEE
ON MINNEAPOLIS SLABS
Minneapolis is mostly older housing stock — bungalows, foursquares, and early 20th-century construction throughout the south and northeast neighborhoods. That means a huge portion of the garages we coat here are detached, alley-loaded singles and doubles with slabs poured anywhere from the 1920s to the 1960s. Those slabs almost always have decades of salt saturation, severe surface pitting, spalling along the apron edges, and a prior coating that has peeled and needs full mechanical removal. Drainage at the apron is often a problem too — snowmelt pools at the slab edge and accelerates the freeze/thaw damage.
On a 60- or 70-year-old detached city garage, we plan extra grinder time. A worn slab with spalled edges and a peeling paint coating is not a one-day prep — and a coating put down without addressing those issues will lift right back off inside a season.
- Pre-WWII detached garage slabs typically need crack repair, pitting fill, and full coating removal
- Severe chloride saturation in older urban slabs requires aggressive grinding
- Snowmelt pooling at the apron edge accelerates freeze/thaw deterioration
- Diamond grinding on every job — no acid wash, no shortcuts
- Sherwin-Williams industrial epoxy and polyaspartic products
- 10-year written warranty on every installation
Service Areas in Minneapolis
NEIGHBORHOODS
WE SERVE
Minneapolis is the core city of the metro, with neighborhoods that range from pre-WWII bungalow blocks to post-industrial commercial redevelopment. Nearly all residential garages in the core city are detached, alley-loaded, and older — most of the detached city garages we coat fall in the 60–100-year-old range. That creates prep scenarios that are fundamentally different from the suburban attached garages we coat elsewhere in the metro.

FREQUENTLY ASKED
QUESTIONS
Minneapolis-specific questions we hear often — answered straight.
We're in Longfellow and have an alley garage from the 1940s. What does prep look like?
A 1940s detached alley garage in Longfellow is among the most prep-intensive jobs we do. Expect aggressive grinding to remove decades of salt saturation and surface contamination, crack repair, pitting fill, and possible removal of old paint or a prior coating. The prep may take a full day on its own. The result is worth it — a properly coated slab on well-prepped older concrete holds up well.
Do you work in Northeast Minneapolis and Seward?
Yes. Northeast Minneapolis, Seward, Longfellow, South Minneapolis, Uptown, Linden Hills, and all the core city neighborhoods are within our service area. The city generates a lot of our oldest-slab work and we are here regularly.
Can you coat a commercial space in Minneapolis? We have a studio or workshop.
Yes. Commercial coating in Minneapolis covers studios, workshops, warehouses, gyms, and retail spaces. The urban building stock often means older concrete, lower ceilings, and access constraints — we work in those environments routinely.
Is there parking or access usually an issue for your crew in city garages?
We plan around it. Alley access, tight driveways, and permit requirements in some Minneapolis neighborhoods are part of the job. We assess the access situation during the quote walk and plan crew and equipment accordingly — it has never stopped us from getting a job done.
