Epoxy floors for Gaylord.
Gaylord sits in the middle of Northern Michigan's snowbelt, with 140.3 inches of snow a year in NOAA's 1991 to 2020 normals, and Business Loop I-75, M-32 and Old 27 are salted for much of the year. All that brine comes home on tires and sits in the pores of the concrete. Garages and basements in older homes near downtown, lake homes near Otsego Lake and shops on acreage all take it.
Hot tires and brine are what lift a roll-on kit. We grind the whole slab with a diamond grinder and dust extraction, fill cracks and chipped edges, then put down a wet base coat, hand-broadcast vinyl flake and a clear coat. A darker grey or an earthtone hides the salt film longer than a near-white. Send us the slab details for a quote.

Questions
Epoxy floors in Gaylord: questions.
Why does Gaylord's snow matter for a garage floor?
With about 140 inches of snow a year, cars carry road brine into the garage for months. The brine sits in the pores of the slab, and freeze and thaw lifts the surface. A ground slab and a bonded coat resist that better than a thin kit.
Can you coat a shop floor on acreage outside Gaylord?
Shop and pole barn floors are common work. We look at the slab, grind it, fill cracks and spalled edges flush, lay a base coat, broadcast flake and clear coat it. A new barn is easiest, coated before the walls close in.
Do you install epoxy floors in Gaylord?
Yes. Gaylord is in Otsego 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 Gaylord?
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 Gaylord 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.
