Your floors take a beating every day. Forklifts, heavy equipment, chemical spills, constant foot traffic. Without proper protection, you’re looking at expensive repairs, safety hazards, and operational downtime that costs you money.
Our commercial epoxy floor coating in St. Clair Shores creates a barrier that actually gets stronger under pressure. Chemical-resistant. Impact-resistant. Built to handle whatever your business throws at it.
You get floors that look professional, clean easily, and last for years. No more patching cracks or replacing sections. No more worrying about what happens when something heavy drops or spills.
Legends Construction has been perfecting epoxy painting and specialty coating services for more than 10 years. We’ve seen what works and what doesn’t in St. Clair Shores’ industrial and commercial spaces.
We’re not the cheapest option, and that’s intentional. St. Clair Shores businesses need floors that can handle the demands of Michigan’s industrial environment. Cheap coatings fail. Quality coatings protect your investment.
Our approach is straightforward: proper preparation, quality materials, and workmanship that stands behind every project. We’ve built our reputation on customer satisfaction because repeat business and referrals are how we grow.
First, we assess your space and discuss your specific needs. Every facility is different, and your coating solution should be too. We’ll walk through your operations, traffic patterns, and any special requirements.
Surface preparation is where most projects succeed or fail. We grind, clean, and profile your concrete to ensure maximum adhesion. This isn’t optional – it’s what separates professional results from weekend DIY disasters.
Application happens in controlled conditions with proper timing between coats. We use commercial-grade epoxy systems designed for St. Clair Shores’ industrial demands. The final result is a seamless, durable surface that’s ready for your toughest operations.

Our specialty coating services cover everything from small shop floors to large warehouse operations. St. Clair Shores’ proximity to Detroit’s automotive and manufacturing sector means your floors need to handle serious industrial demands.
We provide chemical-resistant coatings for facilities dealing with oils, solvents, and cleaning agents. Anti-slip additives for high-traffic areas. Custom colors and patterns for branding and safety marking. OSHA-compliant striping for traffic flow and hazard identification.
Michigan’s climate adds another layer of complexity. Temperature swings, humidity, and freeze-thaw cycles can destroy inferior coatings. Our systems are formulated to handle these conditions while maintaining their protective and aesthetic properties year after year.
Professional-grade epoxy floor coating typically lasts 10-15 years in commercial applications when properly installed and maintained. The key factors are surface preparation, quality of materials, and application technique.
In St. Clair Shores’ industrial environment, we see floors that were properly coated still performing after a decade of heavy use. Cheaper coatings or DIY applications usually start failing within 2-3 years. The upfront investment in quality saves you money long-term by avoiding premature replacement and operational disruptions.
Epoxy paint is a latex acrylic product with some epoxy added for durability – it’s essentially enhanced paint. Professional epoxy coating is a thermosetting resin system that chemically bonds to properly prepared concrete.
The difference in performance is dramatic. Paint sits on top of the surface and can peel or chip under heavy use. True epoxy coating becomes part of the floor structure, creating a surface that’s actually stronger than the original concrete. For St. Clair Shores commercial operations, only professional-grade systems provide the durability you need.
Hot tire pickup happens when inferior coatings soften under heat, allowing tires to literally pull the coating off the floor. This is a common problem with store-bought kits and low-quality installations.
Professional-grade epoxy systems are formulated to withstand thermal cycling without softening. Proper surface preparation and full-system application (primer, base coat, topcoat) create a coating that won’t delaminate under normal use. We’ve never had a hot tire pickup failure on a properly installed system in St. Clair Shores.
Minor imperfections like small cracks, stains, and surface irregularities can often be addressed during the coating process. However, structural issues, major cracking, or moisture problems must be corrected first.
We evaluate every floor before quoting. Sometimes we can grind out surface defects and fill minor cracks as part of preparation. Other times, concrete repair is necessary before coating. Being honest about what your floor needs upfront prevents problems later and ensures you get the performance you’re paying for.
Most commercial epoxy installations require 2-3 days from start to finish, depending on the system and square footage. We can often work around your schedule to minimize operational impact.
Surface preparation typically takes one day. Coating application and curing takes 1-2 additional days. We coordinate timing to work during shutdowns, weekends, or off-shifts when possible. Rush jobs that promise same-day completion usually fail because proper preparation and curing can’t be rushed without compromising quality.
One of the biggest advantages of professional epoxy coating is how easy it is to maintain. Regular sweeping and occasional damp mopping with mild detergent is usually sufficient for most applications.
For industrial facilities in St. Clair Shores, we recommend avoiding harsh chemicals that aren’t necessary and addressing spills promptly. The seamless surface means no joints or seams where contaminants can accumulate. Most of our commercial clients find their cleaning time and costs actually decrease after installation because the smooth, non-porous surface is so much easier to keep clean than bare concrete.
