Epoxy Flooring in Fishers, IN

Fishers homeowners tend to stay and invest, which is a good fit for epoxy flooring. The city's homeownership rate is 81.9%, and in 2020 its homeowner vacancy rate was just 0.7%. People here are coating the garage they plan to keep using, so they usually ask about long-term wear first and colors second.

The 1990s boom is now 25 to 35 years old

Fishers had 7,508 residents in 1990. By 2000 it had 37,835, and by 2020 it had 98,977. That growth produced a huge number of attached garages in a short span. Those slabs are now old enough to show:

• dusting and wear in the tire paths
• pitting just inside the door from years of winter brine
• oil and coolant stains that have soaked in
• worn or peeling kit coatings from an earlier owner
• hairline cracks along the control joints

Most of these floors are sound underneath. A full diamond grind removes the worn top layer and any old coating, and a flake or solid-color system gives you a fresh, sealed surface.

Lake homes around Geist

The Indianapolis Water Company finished Geist Reservoir in 1943 by damming Fall Creek, creating a lake of about 1,890 acres. Homes began appearing around the reservoir after a 1970s expansion plan was rejected in 1978, and in 2010 Fishers annexed about 2,200 homes around it. Lake houses ask more of a garage. It may hold a boat, a trailer, lake gear that comes in wet, and fuel cans for the mower and the boat. For these garages we lean toward:

• a flake broadcast with extra texture for wet feet and wet tires
• a chemical-resistant topcoat for fuel and oil drips
• coating the step into the house and the concrete curb along the walls

Basements, gyms and family rooms

In 2020, 42.4% of Fishers households had children under 18. Many families here finish the basement as a playroom, gym or second living space. A coated floor wipes clean and handles dropped weights and rolling toys. Metallic epoxy adds a custom look. Below grade we test for moisture before every job and adjust the primer to the readings.

Planning your Fishers floor

A typical two-car garage takes one to two days, depending on the system and how much repair the slab needs. We give you written times for walking on it, moving storage back and parking.

Why a regrind beats a recoat

Some Fishers garages already have a coating from a past owner or a weekend kit. When it is peeling in the tire paths, the bond underneath has already failed. Putting a new coat over it puts your new floor on that weak layer. We grind the old coating off completely, including along the walls, and then treat the floor like bare concrete. It adds some time to the job, and it gives the new system a clean base to bond to.

Winter in a commuter suburb

Many Fishers residents commute to Indianapolis and back every day, and in winter those cars bring salt brine home every evening. A sealed floor keeps that brine out of the concrete. A squeegee after storms and a rinse every few weeks during salt season are all it needs.

Garages that became something else

In a lot of Fishers homes the garage is also the mudroom, the bike shop and the overflow pantry. Before we coat, we agree on what gets moved out and where it goes during the cure. Shelving can usually go back on the floor once the coating can take foot traffic. Heavy items like freezers and tool chests wait until the floor is ready for a full load, and we write that time down for you.
