Epoxy Flooring in Santa Rosa, TX

Heat is the first thing we plan for with epoxy flooring in Santa Rosa. NOAA data on the town's Wikipedia page shows a record high of 107°F, reached on September 6, 2000, and again on June 24, 2017. The average daily high across the whole year is 85.6°F. Resin coatings cure faster as the slab warms up, so a garage floor at midday in summer can leave very little working time. We set the schedule and the product to match.

What heat does to a coating job

A hot slab shortens pot life, which is the time a mixed batch stays workable. Rolled too late, the coating can leave lap marks or thin spots. Heat also pushes air out of the concrete as it warms, which can leave small pinholes in a fresh coat. Here is how we handle it in Santa Rosa: 1. We start at first light, while the slab is at its coolest. 2. We mix smaller batches so each one goes down before it starts to set. 3. We keep the garage door shut and shaded during the morning when we can. 4. We use a polyaspartic topcoat when we need a product that handles a wide temperature range.

On the other end, the town has also recorded 16°F, on December 23, 1989. Cold snaps are rare, but we will not coat a slab that is too cold to cure.

September brings the rain

The wettest month in Santa Rosa is September, with an average of 5.56 inches. July is the driest, at 1.67 inches. A slab that sat under standing water in a late summer storm holds onto moisture for a while. We test moisture before quoting and again on install day. If the numbers are high, we wait.

Old cracks on older slabs

TSHA says Santa Rosa began to build up after 1913 and was incorporated in 1929, and the town grew to 1,572 people by the 1960s. Many of its homes and outbuildings sit on slabs that have been through decades of heat and rain. Long cracks, chipped joints and patched spots are common. We open each crack with a grinder, clean it out and fill it with a repair material made for the job. Hairline cracks usually disappear under a flake floor. Wider cracks may still show as a faint line, and we tell you that up front so there are no surprises.

Family garages that do a lot

Santa Rosa is a compact town of 0.77 square miles. At the 2000 census, the average household had 3.81 people and 54.6% of households had children under 18. A garage in a home like that is often a playroom, a laundry room, a workshop and a place to park all at once. That kind of use calls for a tough, easy-to-clean surface:

• Flake garage floors hide crumbs, dust and small scuffs between cleanings
• Solid color with a clear topcoat gives a brighter room for laundry or play
• Grip additive helps on floors that get wet from a mop or from kids coming in from the yard

Patios in full sun

With that much heat, an outdoor slab takes a beating. We use lighter colors and textured finishes for patios, since dark coatings soak up heat and can get hot underfoot. A UV-stable topcoat keeps the color from yellowing.
