Epoxy Flooring in Lenexa, KS

In Lenexa a lot of our epoxy flooring work happens on business floors, alongside the home garages. The city was platted in 1869 by railroad engineer Octave Chanute and was known in the 1930s as the Spinach Capital of the World. It still holds a Spinach Festival every September. Today it is better known for distribution. The city's 2015 list of largest employers was led by UPS with 2,087 workers and also included a JC Penney logistics center with 1,200.

Commercial floors

Warehouse and flex buildings take a beating. Forklift wheels grind at joints, pallets get dragged, and cleaning chemicals and battery acid hit the floor. Bare concrete dusts, stains and spalls under that use. Our commercial and warehouse floor epoxy is built for it:

• Thicker coatings that stand up to wheel loads
• Joint repair where traffic has chipped the edges
• Painted aisles, zones and safety lines
• Chemical-resistant topcoats for lab, shop and battery areas
• Phased work so loading continues while sections cure

Lenexa also has lab and healthcare tenants. For those spaces a seamless coated floor is easier to keep clean than sealed concrete with open joints.

Home garages in a growing city

Lenexa had 40,238 people in 2000 and 57,434 in 2020, a rise of about 43%. Much of that growth came in newer subdivisions with large attached garages. Those slabs are usually in good shape but very smooth, so they need a full grind before any coating. Most owners pick a flake floor or a polyaspartic floor coating for a clean look that tolerates daily use.

The older center of town has smaller homes from earlier decades, where garages may need crack and floor repair first.

What changes the price

| Factor | Why it matters | |---|---| | Square footage | Material and labor scale with size | | Old coatings | Removal adds grinding time | | Cracks and joints | Each one is filled before coating | | Traffic | Forklift floors need a thicker build | | Schedule | After-hours or phased work adds time |

Planning a commercial job

Tell us how the space is used, what drives on it, and when the building can be closed. We walk the floor, test for moisture and note old coatings, then give you a written price. If the work needs to happen over a weekend or in sections, we lay that out in the quote.

Where Lenexa started

Lenexa has deep roots for a city this new. Wikipedia notes that Wild Bill Hickok filed a claim on 160 acres near today's 83rd Street and Clare Road in 1857, and the city incorporated in 1907. Homes near the old town area are older than the subdivisions to the west. Their garages and basements are where we do the most crack and floor repair before coating.

Clean floors for labs and clinics

The city's employer list has included Quest Diagnostics, Clinical Reference Lab and other lab and research firms. Floors in those spaces need to be wiped and disinfected every day. A seamless epoxy floor with coved edges at the walls has no open joints to collect dirt, and it handles the cleaners those spaces use.

Garage tips after the install

Sweep grit before it grinds into the topcoat. Wipe up oil and fluid spills when you see them. In winter, squeegee meltwater out the door and rinse off deicer residue once the weather warms up. That is most of what a coated floor needs.
