Epoxy Flooring in Palmview, TX

Epoxy flooring in Palmview has to handle traffic. Interstate 2 runs right through the city, 10 miles east to McAllen and 30 miles west to Rio Grande City, and Wikipedia puts average car ownership at 2.2 vehicles per family. The average commute is 18.4 minutes. That adds up to a lot of garages where two vehicles pull in hot off the highway every evening. The floor under them needs to resist hot tire pickup, oil drips and grit, day after day.

The hot tire problem

Tires get hot on the road, especially on a South Texas afternoon. When a hot tire parks on a soft or poorly bonded coating, the rubber can grab the surface and lift it as it cools. This is called hot tire pickup, and it is the main way cheap garage coatings fail. We prevent it three ways:

• Proper grinding so the base coat bonds deep into the concrete
• Full-strength systems instead of thin water-based kits
• A hard topcoat such as polyaspartic, which handles heat and resists the softening that lets tires pull at the surface

If you plan to park two vehicles inside, tell us. We will put the toughest topcoat where the tires sit.

A city that nearly tripled in ten years

Palmview had 1,818 residents in 1990, 4,107 in 2000 and 5,460 in 2010. By the 2020 census it had reached 15,830. The city incorporated in 1978 and covers 7.61 square miles. Growth that fast means many garage slabs are new. Most have never been coated, and plenty are still sealed from the builder. We grind them before anything else goes down.

Systems for Palmview homes

• Garage floor epoxy is a solid-color base and clear topcoat for owners who want a clean, simple floor.
• Flake floor systems hide tire marks and dust well, which helps when cars come and go all day.
• Polyaspartic coatings are our go-to topcoat for heavy parking use, because they cure fast and handle heat and UV.
• Patio and pool deck coatings suit back patios that take full afternoon sun.

For a detached shop or a home business on a slab, we also install commercial floor epoxy.

Driveway grit and dust

With 7.61 square miles of land and a lot of new construction, Palmview has dust and road grit to spare. Tires carry that grit into the garage, and it acts like sandpaper on a soft coating. A harder topcoat and a flake texture both help. A quick sweep once a week does the rest.

Care for a hard-used garage floor

A few habits keep a busy Palmview garage looking good for years. Put down a mat where the cars pull in to catch road grit before it spreads. Sweep weekly, and hose the floor down now and then to rinse off fine dust. Wipe up oil and fluid drips soon after you see them. Do not drag heavy steel items across the floor. Lift them or use a dolly with soft wheels.
