Hear from Our Customers
You get floors that handle whatever your business throws at them. Chemical spills wipe clean in seconds. Heavy equipment rolls smoothly without leaving marks. Your maintenance crew spends minutes, not hours, keeping floors spotless.
No more concrete dust coating your inventory. No more stains that won’t budge. No more worrying about slip hazards when floors get wet.
Your Lathrup Village facility looks professional from day one and stays that way for years. That’s what proper epoxy floor coating delivers.
Legends Construction LLC has been serving Lathrup Village and Oakland County for over a decade. We’ve seen what works in Michigan’s demanding climate and what doesn’t.
This community values quality—from the historic homes to the thriving businesses along Southfield Road. That’s exactly what we deliver: epoxy floor coating that matches Lathrup Village’s high standards.
Our approach is straightforward: do the job right the first time, use materials built for Michigan weather, and make sure you’re satisfied enough to call us again.
We start by evaluating your concrete and discussing your specific needs. Every facility is different—a medical office has different requirements than a manufacturing warehouse.
Surface preparation comes next. We clean, repair any cracks, and create the proper profile for maximum adhesion. This step determines whether your floor lasts two years or twenty.
Then we apply the epoxy system in carefully timed coats. Base coat, color coat if desired, and topcoat for protection. Each layer cures properly before the next goes down.
You walk on a finished floor that’s ready for business. No ongoing maintenance headaches, no premature failures.

Your epoxy floor coating includes complete surface preparation, premium materials, and professional application. We use 100% solids epoxy that penetrates concrete—not water-based products that fail early.
Lathrup Village businesses need floors that handle Oakland County’s temperature swings and winter conditions. Our coatings resist moisture, road salt, and the freeze-thaw cycles that destroy untreated concrete.
Whether you’re in the healthcare sector, professional services, or manufacturing—the three largest employment sectors here—we customize the coating system for your specific environment. Chemical resistance for labs, slip resistance for kitchens, heavy-duty protection for warehouses.
Professional epoxy floor coating typically lasts 15-20 years in Michigan’s climate when properly installed. The key is using 100% solids epoxy that penetrates the concrete rather than sitting on top like paint.
Michigan’s freeze-thaw cycles and road salt are tough on floors. Quality epoxy creates a moisture barrier that prevents water from getting into the concrete and causing damage. Cheaper coatings fail because they don’t bond properly or can’t handle temperature changes.
We’ve seen properly installed epoxy floors in Lathrup Village facilities that still look great after a decade of heavy use. The investment pays off through reduced maintenance and longer floor life.
Epoxy paint is basically latex paint with a small percentage of epoxy added. It’s thin, typically only 3 mils thick, and sits on top of the concrete. Real epoxy coating is 10+ mils thick and chemically bonds with the concrete surface.
The difference shows up quickly under real-world conditions. Epoxy paint peels, chips, and shows hot tire marks within months. True epoxy coating becomes part of the floor structure and handles heavy traffic, chemical spills, and equipment loads.
You can buy epoxy paint at the hardware store for a DIY project. Professional epoxy coating requires proper mixing, surface preparation, and application timing. That’s why we guarantee our work—we use the real thing.
Surface preparation determines whether epoxy coating succeeds or fails. We start by grinding the concrete surface to remove any existing coatings, stains, and create the proper profile for adhesion.
Next comes thorough cleaning to remove all dust, grease, and contaminants. The concrete must be completely clean and properly etched for the epoxy to bond. We test the surface porosity and pH levels to ensure optimal conditions.
Any cracks get filled and imperfections are leveled before primer application. This preparation takes time but it’s what separates professional results from DIY failures. Shortcuts in prep work show up as peeling and delamination later.
Epoxy can sometimes be applied over existing coatings, but it depends on what’s currently on the floor and its condition. We evaluate each situation individually to determine the best approach.
If there’s old paint or coating that’s well-bonded, we can often prepare it for epoxy application. However, if the existing coating is failing, peeling, or incompatible, complete removal is necessary for a lasting result.
Tile, carpet, and other floor coverings need to be removed before epoxy application. The goal is always a strong bond to the concrete substrate. We’ll assess your current flooring and recommend the most cost-effective approach during our consultation.
Light foot traffic is typically possible after 24 hours, but full cure time for heavy equipment and chemical resistance takes 5-7 days. Temperature and humidity affect curing speed.
We schedule the work to minimize disruption to your Lathrup Village business operations. Many commercial jobs are done over weekends or during planned shutdowns. The coating continues to harden and develop full strength over the first week.
For facilities that can’t shut down completely, we can often work in sections to keep part of your operation running. The key is planning the project timeline around your business needs while allowing proper cure time.
Epoxy floors are remarkably low-maintenance compared to other flooring options. Regular cleaning with a mild detergent and water is usually sufficient. The nonporous surface means spills can’t penetrate and stain.
Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaners that could damage the surface over time. A soft mop or squeegee works better than rough scrubbing pads. For industrial facilities, periodic deep cleaning maintains the appearance.
The smooth surface actually makes cleaning easier and faster than bare concrete. No more dust, no staining, and spills wipe up immediately. Most Lathrup Village businesses find their cleaning costs drop significantly after epoxy installation.
