Epoxy Flooring in Mulberry, IN

Epoxy flooring in Mulberry is often about safety as much as looks. The town's 2020 census showed a median age of 42.4, and 26.3% of residents were 65 or older. When people plan to stay in their homes for the long haul, they start to think about footing on the garage step, a slick basement floor and dim corners where it is hard to see. A coated floor with the right texture and color helps with all three.

What makes a floor safer

We build slip resistance and visibility into the system:

• Anti-slip aggregate broadcast into the topcoat, so a wet floor still has grip.
• Light colors that reflect more light in garages and basements.
• Contrasting edges on steps and thresholds, so the change in height is easy to see.
• A smooth, sealed surface with no loose grit, pits or peeling paint to catch a foot.

These options cost little to add, and we show them to you at the estimate.

Living on one level

The 2020 census found that 33.1% of Mulberry households were people living alone, and 17.9% had someone 65 or older living alone. For many of those homes, the garage and basement are used every day, for laundry, storage or getting to the car. A basement floor coating makes those trips cleaner and safer. We test the slab for moisture first and use a moisture-tolerant primer when the reading allows.

An old railroad town

Mulberry's plat was laid out on October 1, 1858, by W. S. Perrin. The surveyor wrote the wrong name on it, Glicksburg, but the town kept the name Mulberry, after a mulberry tree that grew where it was founded. The Lafayette, Muncie and Bloomington Railroad reached town around 1873, and an interurban line served it in the early 1900s. Homes built across that long span have slabs of every age. Older ones need more crack and floor repair. We grind away worn surfaces and old paint, fill cracks and rebuild spalled spots before anything is coated.

Garages and shops

Outside the house, the usual Mulberry jobs are garages and shops. A flake epoxy floor suits most garages, since it hides dirt and resists road salt. A polyaspartic topcoat shortens the wait to park. For a shop or outbuilding, we use a thicker system that handles tools, mowers and spills.

A simple process

You get a free estimate at your home with a moisture test and a written quote. We protect your walls and doorways, do the work, and give you written times for walking and parking. If something changes on the job, you approve it in writing first.

Cleaning and care

A coated floor cleans up with a dust mop and a damp mop. During winter, push slush out with a squeegee before it dries. Use a mild cleaner, since harsh solvents can dull the topcoat. If the floor gets a scuff, it is usually on the surface and can be cleaned or lightly buffed. Call us if you see a chip or a spot that lifts, and we will look at it.

Lighting up a dim garage

Many older garages have one bulb and gray concrete that soaks up light. A light gray or tan coating with a gloss or satin topcoat reflects more of that light back into the room. Owners often tell us at the estimate that they want to see dropped screws and spills more easily. We show you light and dark samples side by side so you can pick what works in your space.
