Epoxy Flooring in Bonner Springs, KS

Bonner Springs has a longer history than most of the metro, and our epoxy flooring work here covers everything from in-town garages to shop buildings on the edge of the country. In 1812 the Chouteau brothers opened a trading post called Four Houses here, along with a ferry over the Kansas River. The town later went by Tiblow and was renamed Bonner Springs in 1885. It was incorporated in 1898.

Town lots and rural edges

At the 2020 census Bonner Springs had 7,837 people and 3,202 housing units across about 16 square miles. That is a lot of room for a town that size. The census counted about 14% of residents as rural. Drive a few minutes from downtown and you start seeing pole barns, detached shops and garages built for trucks, trailers and mowers rather than one sedan.

Those outbuildings are where we see the biggest change from a coating. A bare shop slab sheds dust onto everything stored on it. Mud, hydraulic fluid and fuel soak in. A coated floor sweeps clean and keeps spills on top.

Floors we coat in Bonner Springs

1. Detached shops and pole barns. Commercial epoxy at a heavier build for tractors, trailers and jack stands. 2. Home garages.

Moving between three counties

The city sits mainly in southwestern Wyandotte County, with small parts in Leavenworth and Johnson counties. It is part of the Unified Government of Wyandotte County. If you are not sure which county your property is in, it does not change how we price or install the floor. It only matters if your project also includes work that needs a permit, like a new building or an addition.

Getting a shop floor ready

Outbuilding slabs are often rougher than house garages. Some were poured thin, finished quickly or left open to weather before walls went up. We look for:

• Spalled or flaking surface from years of freeze and thaw
• Oil and fluid stains that need to be cut out before coating
• Control joints that have chipped at the edges
• Low spots that hold water by the big door

We grind, fill and patch first. Then we choose the coating build based on what will drive on the floor.

Winter brings mud and brine

Wikipedia lists average snowfall in Bonner Springs at 17.2 inches a year. That is enough to put salt and gravel on the roads for weeks at a time, and on unpaved drives it means mud too. A flake floor with a textured topcoat hides that grit between sweeps and gives boots better footing when the floor is wet.

Event traffic and home businesses

Bonner Springs is home to Azura Amphitheater, the National Agricultural Center and Hall of Fame, and the Kansas City Renaissance Festival, which Wikipedia says draws about 180,000 visitors over its season. Some local owners run small businesses out of a garage or shop, from small engine repair to food prep and storage for events. A coated floor is easier to keep clean for that kind of work, and we can add extra texture where floors get wet.

Our process, start to finish

We measure the space and check the slab for moisture, oil and old coatings. You get a written quote with every step listed. On install day we grind the whole floor, fill and patch, then lay down the base coat, the color or chip layer and the topcoat. Before we leave, we tell you when you can walk on it and when the trucks can go back in.

We are happy to look at a garage in town or a shop out on a gravel road. Call (816) 575-9782 and tell us how big the building is and what you keep in it.
