EPOXY FLOOR CONTRACTOR
IN PRIOR LAKE, MN
Prior Lake is mostly newer build — 2000s and on. The slabs are usually structurally clean, but they almost always still carry curing compound from the original pour, and that has to be ground off before anything new will bond. Pool decks and outdoor patios are common here, and outdoor concrete needs a different system than a garage floor.
Local Concrete Notes — Prior Lake
WHAT WE SEE
ON PRIOR LAKE SLABS
Prior Lake is mostly newer construction — heavy build-out from the 2000s onward. The slabs we coat here are typically 5 to 25 years old, which means the concrete is usually in good shape but almost always still has a curing compound, topical sealer, or factory finish that has to be ground off mechanically before a coating will bond. The bigger three- and four-stall garages common in newer Prior Lake subdivisions mean a lot of square footage; outdoor patio and pool deck work is also common here because of the lake-life lifestyle.
Outdoor patios in Minnesota take a beating — southern sun in summer, freeze/thaw cycles all winter, snowmelt pooling at the slab edges. Any coating on an outdoor slab needs a UV-stable topcoat and proper drainage considered before the first coat goes down.
- Newer slabs need curing-compound removal before bonding
- Pool decks and patios require UV-stable polyaspartic or polyurea — never standard epoxy
- Outdoor concrete needs proper drainage and freeze/thaw flex in the system
- 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 Prior Lake
NEIGHBORHOODS
WE SERVE
Prior Lake is defined by its namesake lake and the surrounding Scott County terrain. The city has grown rapidly since 2000 — new subdivisions continue to go in on the west and south sides, while original neighborhoods near the lakeshore are older and more established. Outdoor living is central to the Prior Lake lifestyle, and patio and pool deck work makes up a significant portion of what we do here.

FREQUENTLY ASKED
QUESTIONS
Prior Lake-specific questions we hear often — answered straight.
We have a lake home on Prior Lake. What systems work for outdoor concrete near water?
Outdoor concrete near Prior Lake needs a UV-stable, waterproof polyaspartic or polyurea system. We account for the humid microclimate near the water, assess drainage at the slab edge, and make sure the concrete is thoroughly dried before any coating goes down. Standard epoxy is not suitable for outdoor use in this environment.
We're in The Wilds area with a newer construction garage. What's the coating process for a 5-year-old slab?
A 5-year-old slab in The Wilds is likely still carrying trace curing compound from the pour. We do a full diamond grind to confirm clean concrete, check pH and moisture, and then install the system. The job is usually straightforward on a newer slab in good condition — the prep is lighter, the result is the same.
Do you coat basement floors in Prior Lake homes?
Yes. Basement floor coatings are a common request in Prior Lake homes. Below-grade slabs almost always need a moisture vapor test before coating — we select the primer based on what we find. A solid-color epoxy or flake system makes a basement significantly more functional and easier to clean.
What's your process for quoting a job in Prior Lake?
We come to you, walk the slab, and write a number before we leave. No ballpark over the phone, no sales pitch — just a real quote based on what the concrete actually looks like and what system fits it. There is no charge for the quote visit.
