Around Elk Rapids
Epoxy floors for Elk Rapids.
Elk Rapids has about 1,500 people, a harbor on the East Arm of Grand Traverse Bay and the Elk River running through town. Lake cottages and year-round homes share the village, and US-31 east of the downtown carries the winter brine. It rides in on tires, sits in the pores of the slab and freeze-thaw lifts the surface.
Basement slabs in lake houses get checked for moisture before any coating. Garage slabs are ground with a diamond grinder and dust extraction, cracks are filled, and vinyl flake is broadcast by hand to refusal, then the loose flake is scraped off and a clear coat goes over the top. Boards come to your slab so you pick on your own concrete. Ask for a quote.

Questions
Epoxy floors in Elk Rapids: questions.
Why do garage floors near Elk Rapids peel after a few winters?
Usually the coating never bonded to the slab. A roller and etching acid do not open a troweled surface, and then hot tires and salt brine lift the coating. Grinding the whole slab with a diamond grinder opens it so the base coat can bond.
Is fall a good time to coat an Elk Rapids garage floor?
Before the snow is easier, since the garage is simpler to empty and no salted vehicle goes back onto a new floor. The wait before you walk or drive on it is set for your floor when we quote it. A quote starts with a phone call.
Do you install epoxy floors in Elk Rapids?
Yes. Elk Rapids is in Antrim County, inside the Northern Michigan area we cover. Call (989) 255-1435 or send a photo of the slab and a rough size. We look at the concrete before anything is quoted.
Can I just roll a hardware store kit onto my garage floor in Elk Rapids?
You can, but it usually lifts by spring. A roller and a jug of etching acid do not open the troweled surface of the concrete, so the coating dries onto a skin. Hot tires and salt brine peel that skin off. Grinding is the difference.
Can a floor in Elk Rapids be coated in the winter?
Yes. Epoxy cures inside a closed building, so this is year-round work. Before the snow is easier, though: the garage is easier to empty and nobody is driving a salted vehicle back onto a new floor. How long to stay off it is something we tell you for your floor when we quote it.
