Floors for Benton Township Homes
Unionville sits higher than most of Monroe County, at 876 feet, and epoxy flooring in Unionville tends to mean garages and outbuildings on rural property. Unionville is an unincorporated community in Benton Township. The township covers about 56.6 square miles and had 3,260 residents at the 2020 census, so homes are spread out and most sit on their own acreage.
A place on the map since 1847
The community was platted in 1847 as Fleenersburg, and its post office opened in 1848. In 1911 the Census Bureau placed the exact center of U.S. population here, and a monument was dedicated that year. Unionville Elementary School, once Unionville High School, still anchors the community. Over the decades, homes here have gone up one at a time, so floors range from very old to very new on the same road.
Long driveways and gravel
On rural property the garage floor takes a different kind of wear. Gravel and grit ride in on tires and boots and grind against the surface. Mud from unpaved drives dries into a film. Bare concrete wears and dusts under that. A coated floor gives the grit a hard surface to sit on, so a broom or a leaf blower clears it. For these garages we usually suggest:
- A flake broadcast to hide grit between cleanings.
- A tough topcoat that resists scratching from small stones.
- A textured finish for footing when the floor is muddy or wet.
Barns, shops and equipment
A lot of Benton Township properties have a pole barn or detached shop. They hold tractors, side-by-sides, trailers and tools. The floors carry heavy loads and take fuel and hydraulic fluid spills. We grind these slabs hard, treat oil spots, fill cracks and put down a thicker build like the one on our Shop & Commercial Floor Epoxy page. If a barn slab has heaved or settled, we tell you before quoting a coating.
Basements on high ground
Being on higher ground does not guarantee a dry basement, especially in hilly country where water runs downhill toward a house. We test every slab before quoting basement floor epoxy. A dry reading means a straightforward job. A damp one means a moisture-tolerant primer or, if water is getting in, a fix before any coating.
Older homes, newer additions
Because homes along Benton Township roads went up over many decades, we often find two slabs on one property. A house may have an older basement and a garage added much later, or a newer home may share a lot with an old barn. Each slab gets its own look and its own moisture test. One might be ready for coating after a light grind, while the other needs crack repair and a damp-tolerant primer. Your written quote lists each floor separately so you can choose which to do first.
Timing a rural job
We plan the work around your schedule and the weather. Coatings need the slab to be warm enough to cure, so an unheated barn may be best done in late spring through early fall. A polyaspartic system can be applied in a wider temperature range and returns the floor to use faster. Call (812) 616-5721 to set up a free on-site estimate.

Unionville Questions
Will gravel from my driveway scratch an epoxy garage floor?
Grit can dull any floor over time. A flake system with a hard topcoat holds up well and hides small marks. Sweeping or blowing out grit regularly keeps it looking good for longer.
Can you coat an unheated pole barn in Unionville?
Yes, when the weather allows. Epoxy needs a warm enough slab to cure, so we usually schedule unheated buildings from late spring to early fall. We check slab temperature on the day.
