Your concrete transforms from stained, cracked, and constantly dirty to a smooth, durable surface that’s actually easy to maintain. No more worrying about oil stains in your garage or chemical spills in your warehouse. No more scrubbing floors that never look clean.
The coating penetrates deep into your concrete—not like those surface paints that peel off in Michigan winters. You get a seamless floor that handles everything from heavy machinery to daily foot traffic without showing wear.
Your space looks professional. Your maintenance time drops to almost nothing. And you stop replacing floors every few years because this one’s built to last decades, not seasons.
We’ve been perfecting epoxy applications for over 10 years, and Legends Construction LLC has been serving the Leonard area for two years. We understand what works in Michigan’s climate—and what doesn’t.
Leonard’s manufacturing sector and local businesses need floors that can handle real work. We use 100% solid epoxy that actually bonds with your concrete, not water-based coatings that fail when temperatures drop. Our preparation process includes industrial diamond grinding to ensure maximum adhesion.
We’re not the cheapest option in Leonard, and that’s intentional. You’re investing in fewer headaches, less downtime, and floors that protect your equipment and operations for years to come.
First, we prepare your surface properly. That means industrial diamond grinding to remove all existing coatings, stains, and surface imperfections. This isn’t optional—it’s how we ensure your coating actually bonds instead of peeling off later.
Next, we test your concrete and apply primer designed for Michigan conditions. The epoxy goes on in carefully controlled layers, allowing proper curing time between coats. No rushing, no shortcuts.
Finally, we apply the protective topcoat that gives you chemical resistance, slip protection, and that professional appearance. The entire process typically takes 2-3 days depending on your space size, but you get floors that last decades instead of years.

Every Leonard epoxy project includes complete surface preparation, professional-grade materials, and proper application techniques. You get floors designed specifically for your use—whether that’s light foot traffic in an office or heavy machinery in a manufacturing facility.
Leonard’s mix of residential garages, small businesses, and light manufacturing means we customize each application. Your garage gets a different formulation than your warehouse floor. We account for Leonard’s temperature swings, from summer heat to winter freeze-thaw cycles.
The coating system includes primer, base coat, and protective topcoat. Color options range from practical grays and tans to custom colors that match your branding. Anti-slip additives available for high-traffic areas. Every project comes with proper surface preparation and cleanup—you don’t lift a finger.
Properly installed epoxy floors last 15-20 years in Michigan conditions when you use quality materials and proper preparation. The key is using 100% solid epoxy that penetrates into the concrete rather than sitting on top like paint.
Michigan’s freeze-thaw cycles and temperature swings are tough on any flooring. That’s why surface preparation matters so much—we grind the concrete to create maximum adhesion points. Cheap installations that skip this step typically fail within 2-3 years.
Your floor’s lifespan also depends on usage. A residential garage with normal car traffic will outlast a warehouse with heavy machinery. But even in demanding commercial applications, you should expect decades of service when the job’s done right.
Floor paint sits on top of your concrete and typically fails within 1-2 years, especially in Michigan weather. Professional epoxy coating actually penetrates and bonds with the concrete structure, creating a permanent transformation.
Water-based epoxy products sold in stores contain mostly water and minimal solids. When that water evaporates, you’re left with a thin film that peels and chips easily. Professional-grade 100% solid epoxy contains no water—just pure resin and hardener that cures into an incredibly durable surface.
The application process is completely different too. Paint goes on with a roller in one coat. Professional epoxy requires surface grinding, proper priming, multiple coats, and controlled curing conditions. It’s the difference between a temporary fix and a permanent solution.
Professional epoxy coating typically runs $3-8 per square foot in the Leonard area, depending on your space size, current floor condition, and coating system requirements. Commercial and industrial applications generally cost more due to specialized requirements.
The wide price range reflects different quality levels and preparation methods. Bargain installers who skip proper surface prep might quote lower, but you’ll be recoating in 2-3 years. Professional installation costs more upfront but saves money long-term through durability.
Most Leonard residential garages (400-600 square feet) run $1,200-3,600 for complete professional installation. Commercial spaces vary widely based on specific requirements like chemical resistance, slip resistance, or decorative elements. We provide detailed written estimates after evaluating your specific situation.
Yes, but proper preparation is essential. We can handle oil stains, rust marks, and surface imperfections, but the concrete must be structurally sound. Small cracks get filled and sealed as part of the preparation process.
The diamond grinding process removes most stains and creates a clean, profiled surface for optimal adhesion. Deeper stains might require additional treatment, but we rarely encounter stains we can’t address in Leonard area floors.
Large cracks or structural damage need repair before coating application. We evaluate every floor individually and explain exactly what preparation work is needed. Skipping this step is why many epoxy jobs fail—the coating is only as good as the surface underneath it.
Light foot traffic is typically possible after 24 hours, but full curing takes 3-7 days depending on temperature and humidity. Michigan’s variable weather affects curing times, especially in spring and fall.
You can walk on the floor in socks or soft shoes after about 24 hours. Regular shoes and light furniture after 48-72 hours. Heavy equipment, vehicles, or chemical exposure should wait a full week for complete cure.
We schedule Leonard projects accounting for weather conditions and your usage requirements. If you need your space back quickly, we can use fast-cure systems that allow full use in 24-48 hours, though these cost more and work best in controlled temperature conditions.
Yes, we provide written warranties covering both materials and workmanship. Residential applications typically include 5-10 year warranties, while commercial projects vary based on usage and maintenance requirements.
Our warranty covers adhesion failure, premature wear, and manufacturing defects in materials. It doesn’t cover damage from chemical spills we weren’t told about, mechanical damage from dropped tools, or normal wear in extremely high-traffic situations.
The key to warranty coverage is proper maintenance and realistic expectations. We provide detailed care instructions and are always available to address any concerns. Most issues, if they occur, show up in the first year and are typically related to substrate problems we identify and address before they become major issues.
