Epoxy Flooring in Shawnee, KS

Few towns in the metro changed as fast as Shawnee, and our epoxy flooring work here follows that history house by house. A Shawnee Indian mission was set up here in 1831 and the town was laid out in 1857. Then it stayed small for nearly a century. The census counted 845 people in 1950. Ten years later there were 9,072. The count kept climbing every decade after that, to 67,311 in 2020.

That steady growth means Shawnee has homes from every era since the early 1950s, often within a short drive of each other. It also means a wide range of garage and basement floors.

Three kinds of Shawnee floors

Early postwar ranches. Homes from the 1950s and 1960s often have one- or two-car garages and basements. The slabs are usually worn and dusty and may carry an old coat of paint. Basements in that age range can show efflorescence, the white powder that moisture leaves behind.

1970s to 1990s split-levels and two-stories. Many of these have a garage tucked under part of the house, with a slab that has settled along the joints. A crack repair pass plus a garage floor epoxy system usually fits.

Newer homes. Larger attached garages with dense, smooth concrete. These grind clean and suit a flake or polyaspartic floor.

Basements come first here

A lot of Shawnee homes sit on full or partial basements, and many owners want to turn them into a gym, hobby room or play space. We moisture test every basement slab before quoting. The reading decides the primer. If it is high, we tell you, and we will not hide a water problem under a coating. When the slab is dry enough, basement floor epoxy in a light color brightens the room and is easy to mop.

A tight housing market

Wikipedia reports a homeowner vacancy rate of just 0.7% in 2020 across 26,465 housing units. Houses here do not sit empty long. If you are getting a home ready to list, a freshly coated garage floor is one of the quicker updates to finish, and a polyaspartic system can be done in about a day.

Tools and hobbies

Shawnee's larger employers in the 2020 report include FedEx Ground, Bayer's animal health division and Kraft Tool Company. Plenty of residents bring their trades home with them, and we coat a lot of garages used as tool rooms and hobby shops. For those we use a thicker garage floor epoxy build with a chemical-resistant topcoat, since solvents, fuel and brake fluid all end up on the floor sooner or later.

Parks, mud and grit

Shawnee Mission Park covers 1,600 acres with a 120-acre lake, and many families here spend weekends on trails and fields. That means muddy shoes and bikes coming back into the garage. A flake floor hides that grit between cleanings, and a textured topcoat keeps it from getting slick when it is wet.
