Hear from Our Customers
You’re tired of concrete that cracks, stains, and makes your workspace look unprofessional. Our epoxy floor coating in Birmingham, MI eliminates those headaches for good.
Instead of dealing with floors that chip away at your budget and your image, you get surfaces that handle heavy equipment, resist chemical spills, and clean up with just soap and water. Your facility looks professional, your maintenance costs drop, and you can focus on running your business instead of babysitting your floors.
No more explaining away stained concrete to clients. No more scheduling around floor repairs that never seem to last.
Legends Construction LLC brings over a decade of painting and coating experience to Birmingham businesses and homeowners. We’ve been operating our current company for two years, built on a simple principle: do the job right the first time.
Birmingham’s industrial landscape demands flooring that can handle real work. We understand the unique challenges local warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and commercial spaces face – from heavy machinery traffic to chemical exposure.
Our approach is straightforward: competitive pricing without cutting corners on quality. We want you calling us back because you’re happy, not because you need repairs.
First, we assess your current floor condition and discuss your specific needs. Every Birmingham facility is different – what works in a light manufacturing space won’t necessarily work in a chemical processing plant.
Next comes proper surface preparation. We remove old coatings, repair cracks, and create the right profile for maximum adhesion. This step determines how long your floor lasts, so we don’t rush it.
Finally, we apply your epoxy floor coating system. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your operations while ensuring complete coverage and proper curing. Most projects are completed within your planned downtime window.

Our epoxy floor paint systems are designed specifically for the demands Birmingham businesses face. Whether you’re dealing with forklift traffic in your warehouse or chemical exposure in your manufacturing facility, we match the coating system to your environment.
Birmingham’s automotive and manufacturing heritage means floors that can’t keep up simply don’t work. Our specialty coating services include chemical-resistant formulations for processing facilities, anti-slip textures for safety-critical areas, and decorative options that maintain professional appearance.
We source materials that handle Michigan’s temperature fluctuations and the heavy industrial use common in Birmingham’s commercial district. Your floor coating needs to perform year-round, not just during installation.
With proper installation and reasonable maintenance, commercial epoxy floor coating typically lasts 10-15 years in most Birmingham industrial environments. The actual lifespan depends on your specific conditions – heavy forklift traffic, chemical exposure, and cleaning practices all play a role.
We’ve seen properly installed systems in Birmingham warehouses still performing well after a decade of heavy use. The key is matching the right coating system to your specific application and preparing the substrate correctly from the start.
Regular cleaning and addressing minor issues quickly can extend the life significantly. Most of our commercial clients find the long-term cost per square foot much lower than alternatives like polished concrete or industrial tiles.
Standard epoxy floor paint from the hardware store is a single-component system designed for light residential use. Professional epoxy floor coating systems use two-component formulations that create a much stronger, more durable surface.
The difference in Birmingham’s industrial environment is dramatic. Hardware store epoxy typically fails within 1-2 years under commercial conditions, while professional systems are engineered for decades of heavy use.
Professional systems also offer better chemical resistance, impact resistance, and adhesion. We use industrial-grade materials that meet specific performance standards for commercial and industrial applications. The upfront investment is higher, but the long-term value is significantly better.
We plan every Birmingham commercial project around your operational schedule. Most epoxy floor coating installations can be completed during planned maintenance windows or over weekends to avoid disrupting your business.
The process typically requires 2-3 days for most commercial spaces – one day for surface preparation, one day for coating application, and one day for curing. We can often work in sections to keep part of your facility operational.
For time-sensitive projects, we offer fast-cure systems that allow limited foot traffic within 12-24 hours. We discuss your specific timeline requirements upfront and build the installation schedule around your needs, not ours.
Absolutely. Professional epoxy floor coating systems are specifically designed for heavy industrial use, including forklift traffic, pallet jacks, and heavy machinery. Birmingham’s manufacturing and warehouse facilities regularly subject floors to this type of abuse.
The key is using the right thickness and formulation for your specific load requirements. We assess your equipment weights, traffic patterns, and turning areas to specify the appropriate system thickness and reinforcement.
Properly installed commercial epoxy actually distributes loads better than bare concrete, reducing point loading that causes concrete to crack and spall. Many Birmingham facilities see improved floor performance after coating installation, even under heavy use.
Maintenance is remarkably simple – regular sweeping and occasional mopping with standard floor cleaners handles most situations. The non-porous surface doesn’t absorb spills like bare concrete, making cleanup much easier.
For Birmingham industrial facilities, we recommend daily sweeping to remove abrasive debris and weekly mopping for general cleaning. Chemical spills should be cleaned promptly, but the coating resists most industrial chemicals without damage.
Annual inspection helps catch minor issues before they become major problems. Small chips or scratches can be touched up easily if addressed quickly. Most of our Birmingham commercial clients find maintenance costs drop significantly compared to untreated concrete floors.
Surface preparation is absolutely critical for long-term performance. We use mechanical preparation methods like shot blasting or diamond grinding to create the proper surface profile for maximum adhesion.
This process removes all contaminants, opens the concrete pores, and creates the textured surface the epoxy needs to bond properly. We also test for moisture issues and address any concrete problems before coating application.
Birmingham’s older industrial buildings often have concrete with oil stains, previous coatings, or surface contamination. Our preparation process addresses these issues systematically to ensure the new coating bonds permanently to the substrate, not just to surface contamination.
