You know what happens to untreated concrete floors. Cracks spread. Stains set in. Dust becomes a constant problem. Maintenance costs pile up.
Epoxy floor coating changes all that. Your floors become chemical-resistant, impact-resistant, and easy to clean. Spills wipe up instead of soaking in. Heavy equipment rolls smooth instead of chipping away at raw concrete.
The result? Floors that look professional, protect your equipment, and actually save you money over time. No more constant patching, no more embarrassing stains when clients visit, no more wondering if your floors can handle what you put them through.
We’ve been serving Ortonville and surrounding areas for two years, with over 10 years of combined painting experience behind every project. We’re a family business—two brothers who believe in doing the job right the first time.
We’ve seen what happens when contractors cut corners on prep work or use inferior materials. That’s exactly what we don’t do. Our approach is straightforward: quality work at competitive pricing, with the goal of earning your repeat business.
Michigan’s industrial facilities demand coatings that can handle temperature swings, heavy traffic, and chemical exposure. We understand these local conditions and choose our materials accordingly.
First, we evaluate your concrete and discuss your specific needs. Every facility is different—what works in a light manufacturing space won’t necessarily work in a chemical processing area.
Next comes surface preparation. This step determines everything. We grind, clean, and repair as needed to ensure proper adhesion. Shortcuts here mean coating failure later, so we don’t take them.
Then we apply the epoxy system in the proper sequence, following manufacturer specifications for temperature, humidity, and cure times. We work efficiently but never rush the chemistry.
You get a floor that’s ready for your operations, with clear expectations about cure times and when you can resume normal traffic patterns.

Our epoxy floor coating service includes complete surface preparation, crack repair, and proper primer application. We don’t just roll coating over existing problems—we fix them first.
You receive chemical-resistant flooring that stands up to oils, solvents, and cleaning chemicals commonly used in Ortonville’s manufacturing and automotive facilities. The coating system includes slip-resistant additives where needed for safety compliance.
Michigan’s industrial sector demands reliable flooring solutions. From automotive parts manufacturing to food processing facilities in the area, businesses need floors that won’t fail during critical operations. Our coatings provide the durability and chemical resistance these applications require, backed by proper installation techniques that ensure long-term performance.
Properly installed epoxy floor coatings typically last 10-15 years in industrial environments, depending on traffic and chemical exposure. The key factors are surface preparation and choosing the right coating system for your specific use.
We’ve seen epoxy floors in Michigan manufacturing facilities that are still performing well after 12+ years. The coating thickness, proper primer adhesion, and quality of the epoxy resin all affect longevity. Heavy forklift traffic or aggressive chemicals may require more frequent touch-ups, but the base system remains intact.
Regular cleaning and occasional recoating of high-wear areas can extend the life even further. Most of our commercial clients find the investment pays for itself through reduced maintenance costs and improved facility appearance.
Epoxy paint from the hardware store is typically a thin, single-coat product designed for light residential use. Professional epoxy floor coating is a multi-component system applied in multiple layers for industrial durability.
The coating thickness alone makes a huge difference—professional systems go on at 10-20 mils thick compared to 2-3 mils for paint. We use 100% solids epoxy that cures to a hard, chemical-resistant surface rather than water-based products that offer minimal protection.
Professional installation also includes proper surface preparation, which hardware store products skip. Without grinding and proper cleaning, even the best coating will fail. That’s why DIY epoxy projects often peel or wear through within months, while our installations last for years.
Most epoxy floor coatings allow foot traffic after 24 hours and vehicle traffic after 72 hours, but cure times depend on temperature and humidity conditions. Michigan’s climate can affect these timelines.
In winter, slower cure times mean waiting longer—sometimes 5-7 days for full cure. Summer heat accelerates the process but creates other challenges like shorter working times. We plan installation timing around your operational needs and weather conditions.
For critical operations that can’t shut down, we can work in sections or use fast-cure systems that allow return to service in 12-24 hours. The key is discussing your timeline requirements upfront so we can choose the right materials and schedule accordingly.
Sometimes, but it depends on the existing coating’s condition and type. We test adhesion and compatibility before recommending whether to coat over or remove the existing surface.
Well-bonded epoxy coatings can often be recoated after proper cleaning and light abrasion. Paint, sealers, or failing coatings usually need complete removal for reliable adhesion. Trying to shortcut this process leads to coating failure.
We use adhesion testing and visual inspection to make this determination. When removal is necessary, we handle it with proper equipment and disposal procedures. The extra work upfront prevents costly failures later and ensures your new coating performs as expected.
Epoxy floors need regular cleaning but minimal maintenance compared to untreated concrete. Daily sweeping and periodic mopping with mild cleaners keeps them looking professional.
Avoid harsh chemicals like acetone or paint thinners, which can damage the coating surface. For industrial facilities, we recommend quarterly deep cleaning and annual inspection for any areas needing touch-up.
Heavy traffic areas may show wear after several years, but these can be spot-repaired without redoing the entire floor. The key is addressing small issues before they become big problems. Most maintenance issues we see come from neglect rather than coating failure.
Damaged concrete requires repair before coating application. We evaluate cracks, spalls, and surface defects to determine the appropriate repair method for each situation.
Small cracks get routed and filled with epoxy crack injection. Larger damaged areas may need patching compound or concrete repair. Oil stains require degreasing and sometimes grinding to remove contamination that prevents adhesion.
The goal is creating a sound, clean surface that allows proper coating adhesion. Skipping these steps causes coating failure, so we don’t compromise on preparation work. Each repair is allowed to cure properly before coating application begins, ensuring long-term performance of the entire system.
