Epoxy Flooring in Martinsville, IN

Martinsville has a long relationship with water, and that is where our epoxy flooring work here starts. From 1888 to 1968, visitors came to the city's sanitariums for its artesian mineral water. In 1899, Eugene Shireman turned swampland into fish ponds and founded Grassyfork Fisheries, and the city became known for goldfish. A town built on springs and ponds is a town where we test every basement slab before we recommend a coating.

Testing before we quote

Moisture rising through concrete is the main reason basement coatings bubble and peel. In Martinsville we: 1. Take a moisture reading on the slab during the estimate. 2. Check the floor-wall joint and any cracks for signs of seepage. 3. Pick a primer rated for the reading we get. 4. Tell you plainly if water needs to be dealt with before any coating.

We would rather walk away from a job than put a floor down that will fail.

A bigger city than it used to be

In 2014 a judge upheld an annexation that grew Martinsville by about a third, and I-69 now runs along the city. The 2020 census counted 11,932 residents and 5,281 housing units. Census QuickFacts puts the owner-occupied rate at 63.3% and the median owner-occupied home value at $163,400. That mix means we work on everything from older homes near the courthouse square to newer houses and businesses near the highway.

Matching floors to buildings

• Older homes downtown: worn, patched or painted garage slabs that need grinding and crack repair before a garage floor epoxy system.
• Newer subdivisions: smooth, hard slabs that need a full grind for grip, then epoxy flake floors or a polyaspartic topcoat.
• Finished basements: basement floor epoxy in solid color or metallic over a tested, primed slab.
• Shops, warehouses and service bays near I-69: shop and commercial floor epoxy at a heavier build for forklifts, carts and chemicals.

Businesses on a schedule

Commercial owners in Martinsville often cannot close for a week. We can split a floor into sections, work after hours on some projects, or use polyaspartic topcoats that return the floor to service sooner. Each option is written into the quote so you know the plan before we start.

Repair before finish

Cracks, spalled joints and pitted areas are common on slabs of every age. Our concrete crack and floor repair service fills and grinds them flush. That keeps them from showing through the new coating and stops water from getting under it.

Courthouse-square homes

The Morgan County Courthouse, finished in 1859, anchors the Martinsville Commercial Historic District, and more than a dozen places in the city are on the National Register. Homes in the older blocks around downtown often have detached garages with thin, worn slabs. We grind off old paint, fill cracks and rebuild broken edges before coating. Floor coating is interior work, so it is usually separate from any exterior changes you plan.

What the quote includes

Every Martinsville quote lists the square footage, the moisture reading, the repairs we found, the system and number of coats, and the total. If we uncover something on install day that changes the scope, such as a hidden crack under old paint, we stop, show you, and write it up. Work on that item waits until you approve it.
