Your floors take a beating every single day. Forklifts, chemicals, dropped tools, constant foot traffic—most flooring can’t handle it.
That’s where professional epoxy floor coating makes the difference. You get a surface that’s twice as strong as concrete, chemically resistant, and easy to clean. No more worrying about stains that won’t come out or floors that crack under pressure.
The result is a workspace that looks professional, stays safe, and doesn’t need constant maintenance. Your floors become an asset instead of a liability.
Legends Construction has been handling painting projects for over a decade, with our current company serving Holly, MI for two years. We’ve built our reputation on two things that matter: quality work and fair pricing.
Holly’s manufacturing sector employs nearly 500 people locally, and many of these facilities need flooring that can handle industrial demands. We understand what works in real-world applications because we’ve seen what fails.
Our approach is straightforward—do the job right the first time so you’ll call us again. No shortcuts, no surprises, just professional epoxy floor coating that performs as promised.
Surface preparation makes or breaks an epoxy job. We start by properly cleaning and profiling your concrete to ensure maximum adhesion. Any cracks or imperfections get addressed before we apply anything.
Next comes the primer system, followed by the base coat application. We use professional-grade materials that cure to form a chemical bond with your concrete—not just a coating sitting on top.
The final topcoat provides the durability and chemical resistance your facility needs. The entire process typically takes 2-3 days depending on your space size, with minimal disruption to your operations.

Holly’s economy runs on manufacturing—from the 71 manufacturing companies in the area to the aerospace and food processing facilities that need reliable flooring solutions.
Your epoxy floor coating includes surface preparation, crack repair, primer application, base coat, and protective topcoat. We handle everything from small shop floors to large warehouse spaces, with the same attention to detail on every project.
Local businesses choose us because we understand the demands of Michigan’s industrial environment. Freeze-thaw cycles, heavy equipment, and chemical exposure—we’ve designed our process to handle what Holly throws at it.
Properly installed commercial epoxy flooring typically lasts 10-20 years depending on traffic and use. In Holly’s manufacturing facilities, we’ve seen our installations perform well for over a decade with proper maintenance.
The key is proper surface preparation and using the right system for your specific application. Light industrial use can expect 15-20 years, while heavy forklift traffic areas might see 10-15 years before needing refinishing.
Regular cleaning and avoiding harsh chemicals not specified for your coating will maximize lifespan. Most of our commercial clients find the longevity far exceeds other flooring options when you factor in replacement costs.
Regular floor paint sits on top of concrete and typically fails within 1-2 years in commercial settings. Epoxy floor coating chemically bonds with properly prepared concrete, creating a surface that’s actually stronger than the concrete itself.
Epoxy provides chemical resistance that paint simply can’t match. In Holly’s industrial facilities, we see paint peel and fail when exposed to oils, coolants, and cleaning chemicals that epoxy handles without issue.
The cost difference upfront is significant, but epoxy’s 10-20 year lifespan versus paint’s 1-2 years makes it far more economical long-term. You’re not repainting every few years or dealing with constant touch-ups.
Yes, epoxy can be applied over existing concrete, but proper surface preparation is crucial. The concrete must be clean, dry, and properly profiled to ensure adhesion.
We typically grind or shot-blast the surface to remove any existing coatings, oils, or contaminants. Any cracks or spalling concrete gets repaired before application. This preparation phase is where many DIY projects and inexperienced contractors fail.
The existing concrete’s condition determines the prep work needed. Well-maintained concrete requires less preparation, while heavily damaged or contaminated floors need more extensive work. Our assessment process identifies exactly what’s needed for your specific situation.
Michigan’s climate requires careful timing for epoxy installation. We monitor temperature and humidity closely, as both affect how the epoxy cures and performs long-term.
Ideal conditions are temperatures between 60-80°F with humidity below 85%. We often schedule installations during Michigan’s spring and fall months when conditions are most stable. Winter installations require heated spaces and extended cure times.
High humidity can cause surface defects and poor adhesion, while low temperatures slow curing and can affect final hardness. We use professional-grade materials designed for our climate and adjust our process based on current conditions to ensure optimal results.
Epoxy floors are low-maintenance but not no-maintenance. Regular sweeping and mopping with pH-neutral cleaners keeps them looking professional and extends their lifespan significantly.
Avoid harsh chemicals not specified for your coating system. Most common industrial cleaners work fine, but always test in an inconspicuous area first. Address spills promptly—while epoxy is chemical resistant, prolonged exposure to aggressive chemicals can cause damage.
Annual deep cleaning and inspection helps identify any areas needing attention before they become problems. Small repairs or touch-ups are much less expensive than full refinishing, and catching issues early prevents larger problems down the road.
Commercial epoxy coating costs vary based on square footage, surface condition, and system requirements. Basic systems start around $3-5 per square foot, while heavy-duty chemical-resistant systems can range $6-10 per square foot.
Surface preparation significantly affects pricing. Clean, well-maintained concrete requires less prep work, while heavily damaged or contaminated floors need extensive preparation that increases costs.
The investment makes sense when you consider longevity. A $5,000 epoxy floor that lasts 15 years costs $333 annually, while repainting every two years at $2,000 costs $1,000 annually. We provide detailed estimates that break down all costs so you understand exactly what you’re getting.
