Your floors become the foundation you can count on. No more worrying about stains soaking in or cracks spreading across your concrete. No more slippery surfaces that put people at risk.
Instead, you get a surface that shrugs off chemicals, handles heavy equipment, and cleans up with a simple mop. Your warehouse stays operational. Your garage looks professional. Your investment pays dividends for years.
The difference is in the preparation and application. When epoxy floor coating is done correctly, you’re looking at decades of protection, not just a temporary fix that starts peeling next winter.
Legends Construction brings over a decade of painting and coating experience to South Lyon, MI. What started as two brothers with a commitment to quality work has grown into a trusted name for property owners who need floors that perform.
We’ve been operating in this market for two years, built on the foundation of doing the job right the first time. South Lyon businesses and homeowners know they can count on us because we price competitively and deliver consistently.
When you work with us, you’re working with people who understand that your floor is an investment, not an expense. That’s why we focus on the details that matter: proper surface prep, quality materials, and application techniques that ensure your coating bonds permanently to the concrete.
First, we evaluate your concrete and discuss exactly what you need the floor to handle. Heavy machinery? Chemical exposure? High foot traffic? This determines everything from the epoxy formulation to the surface preparation required.
Next comes the prep work that separates professional results from weekend projects. We grind, clean, and profile the concrete to create the mechanical bond that keeps your coating attached for decades, not months.
Application happens in controlled conditions with proper cure times between coats. We don’t rush this process because shortcuts show up later as peeling, bubbling, or premature wear. You get a floor that’s ready for whatever your operation demands.

Every epoxy floor coating project includes complete surface preparation, primer application where needed, and multiple coats of high-performance epoxy designed for your specific use case. We provide slip-resistant additives for safety-critical areas and can match colors to your branding requirements.
South Lyon’s climate demands coatings that handle temperature swings and moisture infiltration. We use formulations proven in Michigan conditions, not generic products that might work somewhere else. Your coating is designed to perform in this environment.
You also get transparent communication throughout the process. We explain what we’re doing, why we’re doing it, and what you can expect during cure time. No surprises, no hidden costs, no wondering when you can get back to using your space.
Complete cure time for professional epoxy floor coating is typically 7 days, though you can walk on it after 24 hours and drive on it after 72 hours. The timeline depends on temperature, humidity, and the specific epoxy system we’re using.
During the first 24 hours, the coating is vulnerable to damage, so we protect the area and schedule the work to minimize disruption. After 72 hours, it’s ready for normal traffic, but the coating continues to harden and reach full chemical resistance over the following week.
We plan the application around your schedule and Michigan weather conditions to ensure optimal curing. Rushing this process compromises the long-term performance you’re paying for.
The difference starts with surface preparation. DIY kits assume your concrete is ready for coating, but most concrete floors need grinding, crack repair, or degreasing before epoxy will bond properly. Without this prep, even the best epoxy will fail.
Professional application also means using commercial-grade materials designed for your specific application. Warehouse floors need different formulations than residential garages. We match the epoxy system to your actual conditions and traffic requirements.
Installation technique matters too. We control temperature, humidity, and cure times to ensure proper bonding and finish quality. DIY projects often fail because the conditions weren’t right or the mixing ratios were off, leading to soft spots, bubbling, or premature wear.
Commercial epoxy floor coating typically ranges from $3 to $8 per square foot in South Lyon, depending on the surface condition, epoxy system required, and project size. Warehouse floors with minimal prep work cost less than damaged concrete that needs extensive repair.
The investment makes sense when you consider the alternative costs. Replacing damaged concrete runs $6 to $12 per square foot. Ongoing maintenance and cleaning of unprotected floors add up quickly. Epoxy coating pays for itself through reduced maintenance and extended floor life.
We provide detailed estimates that break down material costs, labor, and any prep work required. No surprises, no hidden fees. You know exactly what you’re investing and what you’ll get in return.
Epoxy can work on older concrete, but the existing condition determines what prep work is needed first. Minor cracks can be filled and sealed. Surface stains usually grind out during preparation. Structural damage or severely deteriorated concrete may need repair before coating.
We evaluate every floor individually because there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. Sometimes the concrete needs patching compounds or crack injection. Other times, we need to remove old coatings or sealers that would prevent proper bonding.
The key is honest assessment upfront. We’ll tell you if your concrete is a good candidate for epoxy coating or if other repairs should happen first. It’s better to address foundation issues now than watch a new coating fail later.
Epoxy floors are remarkably low-maintenance compared to bare concrete. Regular sweeping and occasional mopping with mild detergent handle most cleaning needs. The non-porous surface means spills stay on top instead of soaking in.
For commercial applications, we recommend periodic deep cleaning with a floor scrubber to remove accumulated grime. Avoid abrasive cleaners or steel wool that could scratch the surface. Most chemical spills wipe up easily if addressed promptly.
Proper maintenance extends the life of your coating significantly. We provide specific care instructions based on your floor’s use and traffic patterns. Following these guidelines helps ensure you get the full lifespan from your investment.
Epoxy needs to bond directly to concrete for maximum performance, so existing coatings usually need removal first. Floor paint, sealers, or previous epoxy coatings can prevent proper adhesion and lead to failure of the new system.
We test existing coatings to determine if they’re compatible or need removal. Sometimes light surface preparation is enough. Other times, complete coating removal through grinding or chemical stripping is necessary for a lasting result.
Cutting corners on prep work is the fastest way to coating failure. We’d rather do the removal work upfront than have you call us back when the new coating starts peeling. Proper preparation ensures your investment performs as expected.
