Epoxy Flooring in Anderson, IN

Anderson was a General Motors city for decades, and much of its housing was built for the people who worked there. Nearly 22,000 people worked for GM in Anderson in the 1970s, and the city's population peaked at 70,787 in 1970. Epoxy flooring in Anderson today often goes into those older homes, into rental properties, and into commercial buildings that have taken on new uses.

Older homes, tired floors

The 2020 census counted 27,250 housing units in Anderson. The city grew through the natural gas boom that began in 1887 and the factory decades that followed, and many homes date from those eras. Their garage and basement slabs have been through decades of salt, oil leaks, patching and paint. Common things we find:

• Several layers of floor paint, some peeling
• Wide cracks and broken edges at the garage door
• Oil soaked deep into the concrete
• Uneven patches from past repairs

All of that has to come up or be fixed before a coating can last. We grind to clean concrete, degrease stained areas, and repair cracks and spalls first.

For landlords and investors

Anderson's 2020 rental vacancy rate was 11.1%, so many owners here manage rentals and turn units over. A coated basement or garage floor is quicker to clean between tenants and does not hold odors or stains like bare concrete. For rentals we usually suggest a solid-color garage floor epoxy or a simple flake blend. Both are practical and easy to touch up. We can work on vacant units between leases to keep downtime short.

Commercial floors

The city's larger employers now include Community Hospital Anderson, St. Vincent Health, Nestlé, Hoosier Park and Carter Express. Around them are clinics, offices, small warehouses, truck shops and retail spaces, and many sit in older buildings. Commercial floor epoxy for these spaces can include:

• High-build epoxy for warehouses and service bays
• Seamless, easy-clean floors for clinics and break rooms
• Safety striping and color zones for loading and work areas
• Night or weekend scheduling so the business stays open

Old industrial slabs often carry adhesives, oil and failed coatings. We test and grind until the concrete is clean enough to bond.

Weather and the White River

The White River runs east to west through the north part of the city, and Mounds State Park sits on the eastern edge. Recent normals put Anderson at about 46 inches of precipitation and 21 inches of snow a year. Basements on low ground near the river can stay damp, so we test before recommending basement floor epoxy. In garages, a flake finish with a durable topcoat handles winter slush well.

Finishes beyond the basics

For homeowners redoing a basement or a small business that wants a showpiece entry, metallic epoxy adds depth and gloss. Polyaspartic topcoats are useful when a shop or storefront needs to reopen fast.

Getting a quote

We come out to measure, test for moisture and check every crack and stain. For a landlord with several units, we can look at all of them in one visit and quote each floor separately. The written quote names the system, the prep and each coat, along with the total. We do not start until you approve it.
