Your warehouse doesn’t stop for floor repairs. Neither should you have to worry about cracked, stained, or dusty concrete compromising your operations.
Professional epoxy floor coating eliminates the constant maintenance headaches. No more cement dust settling on your inventory. No more safety concerns from uneven surfaces or slippery spots.
You get a seamless, chemical-resistant surface that handles forklift traffic, spills, and daily wear without breaking down. Your floors stay clean, safe, and professional-looking for years, not months.
Legends Construction brings more than a decade of painting experience to every epoxy project in Novi, MI. As a family-operated business, we understand that your reputation depends on quality work done right.
We’ve built our approach around two non-negotiables: superior workmanship and competitive pricing. Not the cheapest option, but the smart one when you factor in longevity and performance.
Novi’s industrial landscape demands contractors who understand the unique challenges of Michigan weather, heavy manufacturing equipment, and the automotive industry’s precision standards. We deliver that expertise to businesses throughout Oakland County.
Surface preparation determines everything. We start by thoroughly cleaning and profiling your concrete, removing any oils, debris, or previous coatings that could compromise adhesion.
Next comes the primer application, creating the foundation for a long-lasting bond. We apply the epoxy base coat in controlled conditions, ensuring proper cure times between layers—no rushing that leads to bubbles or peeling later.
The final protective topcoat provides chemical resistance, slip resistance, and the durability your operations demand. You get a floor that’s ready for full use within 24 hours, backed by proper preparation and professional installation.

Novi’s position at the convergence of four major expressways makes it a logistics hub for automotive, manufacturing, and technology companies. Your floors need to handle that intensity.
Commercial epoxy floor coating systems resist the chemical spills common in automotive manufacturing. They handle the constant forklift traffic in distribution centers near Twelve Oaks Mall. They protect against the temperature fluctuations that come with Michigan’s harsh winters and humid summers.
From thin-mil applications for office areas to heavy-build systems for warehouse operations, we match coating specifications to your actual usage. Anti-slip additives where safety is critical. Chemical resistance formulations for manufacturing environments. Each application tailored to perform in Novi’s demanding industrial landscape.
Professional epoxy floor coatings typically last 10-20 years in commercial warehouse applications, depending on traffic levels and maintenance. Heavy forklift traffic areas may see wear patterns develop after 5-7 years, but these can be easily recoated without full replacement.
The key factors affecting longevity include proper surface preparation, appropriate coating thickness for your usage, and regular maintenance. Thin-mil coatings work well for light traffic areas, while heavy-build urethane mortar systems handle the most demanding warehouse conditions.
Quality installation makes the biggest difference. Rushed jobs that skip proper prep work or don’t allow adequate cure time between coats typically fail within 2-3 years, requiring complete removal and reapplication.
Big box store epoxy floor paint typically contains only 50% solids, meaning half the material evaporates during curing. Professional 100% solids epoxy systems provide twice the actual coating thickness for the same coverage area.
Professional systems also use two-part chemistry mixed on-site, creating a true chemical bond with the concrete. Paint-grade products often lack the proper adhesion promoters and chemical resistance needed for commercial applications.
The preparation process differs significantly too. Professional installation includes concrete profiling, moisture testing, and proper surface decontamination. DIY paint applications usually skip these critical steps, leading to peeling, bubbling, and premature failure in high-traffic environments.
Yes, but proper repair work must happen first. Existing cracks, spalls, and damaged areas need professional attention before any coating application. Simply applying epoxy over damaged concrete will telegraph those problems through to the surface.
The repair process typically involves crack injection, concrete patching, or grinding to create a uniform surface profile. For severely damaged areas, a urethane mortar overlay system can bridge minor substrate movement while providing a fresh, level surface.
Moisture issues also require addressing before coating application. High moisture vapor emission from the concrete will cause any coating system to fail, regardless of quality. Professional contractors test for these conditions and recommend appropriate moisture mitigation when necessary.
Temperature and humidity control are critical for proper epoxy curing. Installation typically requires ambient temperatures between 50-85°F with relative humidity below 85%. Michigan’s weather variations mean timing installations carefully.
Winter installations often require temporary heating and dehumidification equipment to maintain proper curing conditions. Summer applications may need scheduling during cooler periods to prevent rapid curing that can cause application problems.
We monitor dew point conditions to prevent moisture condensation on the coating surface during cure. We also use specialized low-temperature formulations when necessary, extending the working season for critical projects that can’t wait for ideal weather.
Daily maintenance involves dust mopping to remove debris that could scratch the surface over time. Spot cleaning spills immediately prevents staining and chemical damage, especially important in manufacturing environments with oils and solvents.
Weekly deep cleaning with mild detergent and water removes accumulated dirt and maintains the floor’s appearance. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools that can dull the surface or compromise the coating’s chemical resistance.
Annual inspection identifies any wear patterns or minor damage that can be addressed with localized recoating. This preventive approach extends the overall system life significantly compared to waiting for major problems to develop before taking action.
Commercial epoxy coating costs vary significantly based on system type, square footage, and surface conditions. Basic thin-mil systems for light-duty areas typically range $3-6 per square foot installed. Heavy-duty warehouse systems with urethane mortar can range $8-15 per square foot.
Factors affecting pricing include surface preparation requirements, coating thickness specifications, decorative options, and project scheduling. Larger projects generally achieve better per-square-foot pricing due to economies of scale.
The initial investment pays for itself through reduced maintenance costs, eliminated concrete dust problems, and extended floor life. Quality systems that last 15-20 years cost significantly less per year than cheaper alternatives requiring replacement every 3-5 years.
