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.
