Epoxy floors in Ossineke, Michigan.
Ossineke sits on US-23 beside Lake Huron, and the salt that rides home on that road ends up on garage slabs in town.
Around Ossineke
Epoxy floors for Ossineke.
Ossineke is a small place of about 930 people, strung along the shore and south down US-23. The buildings are lake cottages, year-round houses, and pole barns and shops on acreage in Sanborn Township. Most of those slabs were poured plain and left that way. Alpena is the nearest city, so tires bring brine back up US-23 all winter and it dries into the pores of the concrete.
A new pole barn is the easiest floor, because it can be coated before the walls close in. Older cottage garages and basements take a little more: the slab is ground, cracks are filled, and a basement is checked for moisture coming up through the concrete before anything goes on. Bare basement concrete also sheds dust. Ask for a quote and pick a blend on your own slab.

Questions
Epoxy floors in Ossineke: questions.
Can a lake cottage basement in Ossineke get a flake floor?
Often yes, after a moisture check. Vapor coming up through the slab is what lifts a coating, so we look at that first, along with cracks and what soaked in. If the slab is sound, the same grind, base coat, flake and clear coat steps apply as in a garage.
Is a pole barn floor near Ossineke worth coating?
A shop or barn floor takes jack stands, tires and chemicals, and bare concrete stains and dusts. A coated floor wipes up. New barns are easiest because the slab can be done before the walls go up. Older barns get ground first. Tell us the size and we will quote it.
Do you install epoxy floors in Ossineke?
Yes. Ossineke is in Alpena 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 Ossineke?
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 Ossineke 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.
