Epoxy Flooring in Linden, IN

Epoxy flooring in Linden is usually a one-garage job at a time. This is a small town. The 2020 census counted 711 people, and the whole town covers about 0.39 square miles. Most of what we coat here is a home garage, a basement, or a shop building out on the edge of town. Each one gets the same prep we would give a large commercial floor.

A town the railroad built

Linden was platted in 1852 when the railroad was extended to the site, and it has had a post office since 1851. The Linden Depot was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. Town lots laid out in the railroad era are often narrow. Garages added later on lots like that are sometimes small, single-car buildings with thin slabs and cracks that have opened over the years. Those floors need repair before they need color.

Where we start on an older Linden slab

• Crack and joint repair. We open up cracks so filler can bond, then fill and grind them flush. That is the core of our Concrete Crack & Floor Repair service.
• Pitting and spalls. Salt and freeze-thaw cycles eat at the top of bare concrete. We patch the worst areas so the coating sits on a sound surface.
• Old paint. Hardware-store garage paint is ground off. A new coating will not hold to a layer that is already letting go.

After repair, most Linden garages get our Garage Floor Epoxy or an Epoxy Flake Floor.

Getting your garage back quickly

US 231 runs right through town as Main Street. It is about 10 miles south to Crawfordsville and about 16 miles north to Lafayette. A lot of people in Linden commute one way or the other, and the vehicle has to live somewhere. If you cannot spare the garage for long, ask about Polyaspartic Floor Coating. It cures faster than a standard epoxy system, so the time before you can walk and park on it is shorter. We give you written times based on the product and the temperature that day.

Outbuildings and farm shops

Linden sits in Madison Township in northern Montgomery County, with farmland on every side. Machine sheds and shops with a concrete floor take a different kind of abuse than a garage. Tractors drip hydraulic fluid. Grain dust and mud come in on boots. For those floors we recommend Shop & Commercial Floor Epoxy with a textured topcoat for grip. We can coat the whole slab or just the work area where you do maintenance.

Picking a color and finish

Most Linden homeowners choose between a solid color with a clear topcoat and a flake blend. Solid floors look clean and are easy to sweep. Flake floors hide dust, salt residue and small chips better, which helps on a garage floor that sees a lot of winter traffic. We bring sample boards to the estimate so you can see each one in your own garage light before you decide.

Basements in town

Many houses in Linden have basements used for storage and laundry. Basement Floor Epoxy brightens the space and makes spills easy to wipe up. We test the slab for moisture first. If water is coming through the floor, a coating will not fix it, and we will tell you that at the estimate.
