Epoxy Flooring in Leavenworth, KS

Epoxy flooring in Leavenworth often starts with concrete that has been through a lot. Leavenworth was founded in 1854 and incorporated in 1855, and Wikipedia calls it the first city incorporated in the territory of Kansas. A city that old has garages, basements and commercial floors from many eras, and plenty of them have been patched, painted or left bare for decades.

Winters on the Missouri River

Leavenworth sits on the west bank of the Missouri River. Its 1991 to 2020 climate normals, as listed on Wikipedia, show 18.8 inches of average snowfall, a January mean low of 20.7°F and a July mean high of 90.5°F. Salt and slush come into garages for weeks each winter, and slabs freeze and thaw over and over. On bare concrete, that leads to pitting and scaling, especially near the door. A ground and coated floor keeps meltwater on the surface where it can be pushed out.

Landlords and property managers

Leavenworth has a lot of rental housing. Census QuickFacts lists the owner-occupied rate at 52.1% for 2020 to 2024, with a median gross rent of $1,229. Fort Leavenworth is the city's largest employer, and military households move often. For owners of rental homes and duplexes, a coated garage or basement floor:

• Cleans up quickly between tenants
• Holds up to the wear of frequent move-ins and move-outs
• Hides small scuffs, especially with a flake finish

Polyaspartic Floor Coating suits turnovers where the unit has to be ready fast.

Downtown and commercial spaces

Wikipedia describes a 28-block historic shopping district downtown with antique shops, restaurants, a brewery and gift shops. Back-of-house areas in places like these see heavy carts, spills and constant cleaning. Our Commercial & Warehouse Floor Epoxy systems give storage rooms, kitchens' back areas, workshops and garages a sealed, washable surface. We can schedule around business hours and work in sections.

Old slabs need more prep

In an older city, Concrete Crack & Floor Repair is often the biggest part of the job. We grind away old paint and loose surface, fill cracks and spalls, and level low spots before any coating goes on. If a slab is too far gone, we tell you that up front instead of coating over a problem.

For homeowners

For owner-occupied homes, a Garage Floor Epoxy or Flake Epoxy Floors system turns a worn garage into a clean, usable space. In basements, Basement Floor Epoxy goes down after a moisture test, since older foundations can let more vapor through.

Pricing older and rental floors

In Leavenworth, the condition of the concrete decides most of the cost. A garage under an old house may need paint removal, crack filling and patching at the door before any coating goes on. A duplex owner may want two or three garages done in one trip. We visit, measure and write up the scope for each space separately. Landlords get a clear line-item price they can plan around, and owner-occupants get a plain explanation of what the slab needs and why. We never price a floor before we have seen it.

Living with a coated floor

After the cure, sweep grit, squeegee meltwater out the door in winter and rinse the floor in spring. Wipe up oil and chemicals when they spill. For rentals, a quick wash at move-out usually brings a flake floor back to looking clean for the next tenant.
