Epoxy Flooring in Northglenn, CO

Epoxy flooring in Northglenn often means working on concrete that is older than the people who own it. The city started as a Perl-Mack subdivision in 1959. On June 30 of that year more than 15,000 people toured the first five model homes near today's I-25 and 104th Avenue, and by October 1962 the development had about 3,000 houses. Those first homes sold for $13,500 to $20,350.

Same era, similar slabs

When thousands of houses go up within a few years, their garages tend to age in similar ways. After six decades, a Northglenn garage floor can show settled control joints, crumbling edges where the slab meets the driveway apron and a surface polished smooth in the wheel paths. Decades of drips from older cars may also have soaked deep into the concrete, and those stains have to be ground or degreased out so the new floor does not lift over them. Our prep here centers on cutting back weak edges, filling joints and cracks, and grinding until only sound concrete remains.

Extreme highs and lows

Northglenn has seen temperatures above 105°F and as low as -24°F, the latter on December 22, 1990. Swings that wide, along with ordinary freeze-thaw cycles, slowly open small cracks. A flexible filler beneath the coating and a UV-stable polyaspartic finish cope with those conditions far better than a one-coat kit from the hardware store.

Getting more out of a smaller garage

Mid-century garages can be tighter than modern ones, so a single space may hold a car, bikes, shelving and a chest freezer all at once. A full flake broadcast hides scuffs and tire marks, and we can carry the coating a few inches up the stem wall so the edge is easy to wipe down.

Newer Northglenn, too

The city has been adding to its older core. Carrick Bend, the area's first multifamily project in years, opened on Community Center Drive in 2014, the same year the Webster Lake Promenade opened, and Northglenn's first hospital followed in early 2017. Newer slabs and commercial floors like these get the same attention to cure time and surface prep as the original 1960s garages.

Before selling or right after buying

As the original houses change hands, a refreshed garage floor can be part of getting a home ready to list, or one of the first upgrades after closing. Grinding off decades of oil stains and replacing a dingy gray slab with a clean flake finish changes how the whole garage feels. If you are on a listing deadline, tell us the date at the estimate so the cure time fits your schedule.
