Converse homes and shops, as we see them on the job

Converse is a Bexar County city we reach from our base in Seguin. We work here the same way we work in Universal City and the other cities around it. As in most of those cities, homeowners usually call about a garage floor, and small business owners call about a shop or work floor they need back in use.

Most of those floors are plain concrete slabs that have spent years under cars, tools or an earlier coating. That history shapes the job more than anything else, because what's already on the slab and in it decides how much prep comes before the new floor.

The floor work we do in Converse

We're best known for garage and shop floors, and the list below covers everything else we do here. We plan every job the same way. I come out, take slab readings and look for old coatings, cracks and moisture. Then we decide which floor fits what the concrete can take. Our own crew does the grinding, repairs and install with me running the job, so the person who checked your slab is the same person who sees it coated.

These photos show the kinds of floors this trade puts down, from flake garage coatings to polished slabs. They're examples of finishes, so you can show me what you like when I come out.

  • A commercial room with a smooth gray epoxy floor, yellow safety border, black drainage grates, and metal equipment supports.

  • A large insulated workshop with a glossy gray concrete floor divided by expansion joints.

  • A workshop with a gray-and-white speckled epoxy floor and several red vehicle lifts between unfinished walls and shelving.

Working in Converse: permits, prep and what moves the price

Converse handles its own permits, so that part of your job runs through the city. Here's how that works, and what changes the price and the schedule once I've seen your slab.

Permits go through the city's online portal

The City of Converse handles permits through its online permitting portal, and any application for your job would go there. It's the city's call whether your floor job needs a permit, so the city is who I ask. When a permit is needed, the city's review becomes part of your schedule, so I'd rather find out early than after the crew is booked.

Before we start, I check with the city's building office about your job. If they say a permit is needed, we apply for it as the contractor and you get a copy. We're fully licensed and insured, and any contractor working on your house should be able to show you the permit they pulled.

  • Drawings and other documents go to the city through the portal for review.
  • Applications not completed within 30 days are removed from the city's system.
  • Inspections are requested through the same portal the application went in on.

What changes the price and the schedule

Size matters, but the slab matters more. Old coatings or sealers that have to come off, cracks and broken edges that need repair, and moisture readings that call for a different system all add work. The finish you choose matters too, because a flake garage coat, a metallic floor and a polished slab each take different steps and materials.

The schedule turns on what I find in the slab, whether the city needs a permit and how long the coating has to cure before you walk or drive on it. Your own figure comes in the written estimate I give you after walking the floor. It's the same process we use in Live Oak and Kirby.

  • Stripping an old coating or DIY kit adds a full step to the job.
  • Cracks and chipped edges get repaired before any coating goes down.
  • High moisture readings can change which system makes sense for your slab.

What we find on Converse garage and shop slabs

These are the conditions that decide how a floor job here goes. Most of them only show up once I'm standing on the slab and taking readings.

  • Old coatings and DIY kits

    A lot of garage floors already have something on them: a roll-on kit, a sealer or paint. Those usually have to come off completely, because a new coating bonds to whatever is under it. If that layer is letting go, the new floor goes with it.

  • Peeling where the tires sit

    Tires coming in off the road are warm, and on a thin or poorly bonded coating they can pull the film right up. When we see peeling in the shape of tire tracks, it tells us the prep under that coating was skipped, so we plan the grind to fix it.

  • Cracks and chipped joints

    Garage slabs crack, and the saw cuts across them, called control joints, chip at the edges under wheels. We fill and repair both before coating, because a crack left open shows through and a chipped edge keeps breaking under a thin finish.

  • Moisture coming up through concrete

    Concrete holds moisture and passes it through, and a slab that pushes too much of it can lift a coating from below. I take readings before I recommend anything, because a slab that's too wet needs a different plan, and sometimes it isn't ready for a coating at all.

  • How the lot drains water

    Bexar County lists site grading and home elevation among the factors in a home's flood risk. On a garage floor, poor grading shows up as water running in under the door and sitting on the slab, so we look at where water goes before choosing a finish and its texture.

Why Converse homeowners and shop owners call us

I spent years selling floor coatings before I installed them, and I watched too many fail for reasons nobody checked. That's why this business works the way it does.

We check the slab before we sell anything

Most of the failed floors I've seen didn't fail because of the product. They failed because the slab had an old sealer on it, moisture coming through or a surface that was never ground, and nobody looked. So I look first. I'd rather lose a job by telling you your slab isn't ready than win it and watch the coating lift later.

When your slab needs work before it can take a coating, I'll say so and tell you what that work is. Sometimes the better answer is a different finish, like polishing the concrete instead of covering it. If you want that kind of answer for your Converse garage or shop, call (830) 340-0036 or use the form above.

  • Slab readings taken by me

    I come out to look at your job myself, walk the floor and take the slab readings. The person who decides what your concrete can take is the same person who runs the crew on it, so nothing gets lost between a salesperson and an installer.

  • Our own crew does the work

    Our own crew does the prep and the install, with me running the job. That matters most on the grinding and repairs, which nobody sees once the coating is down but which decide whether the floor holds up.

  • In business since 2021

    I started this business in Seguin in 2021 after working the sales side of flooring and coatings and spending a lot of time on job sites. That's five years of doing the work the way I used to tell people it should be done.

  • Licensed, insured, satisfaction guaranteed

    We're fully licensed and insured, and if you ask, we'll show you proof before work starts. Satisfaction guaranteed on every job. Before we pack up, I walk the finished floor with you so you can point out anything you want a second look at.

Questions Converse homeowners ask about floors and permits

These are questions a Converse homeowner or shop owner usually has before a new floor goes down. If yours isn't here, call (830) 340-0036 and I'll give you a straight answer.

How do I find out if my house in Converse is in a flood zone?

You can look up your flood map on Bexar Flood Facts, which is where Bexar County's floodplain page sends residents. The county says everyone is in a floodplain, and the real question is whether you're in a high-risk zone, mainly A and AE, or in X, the lowest-risk zone. If your garage takes water, tell me when I come out, because that changes which finish and texture I'd recommend.

What building codes apply to construction in Converse, TX?

A city ordinance says all construction within Converse city limits has to comply with the latest editions of the codes published by the International Code Council. The city keeps copies of those codes on file at the office of the Building Official, so that's where to ask if you want to see one.

How do I check a permit or inspection result in Converse?

Use the city's permitting portal, where you can look up pending applications, issued permits and inspection results and review parcel information. If you need help filling out an application, the city lists 210-658-5356 as its help line. That means you can follow a permit for your floor yourself instead of waiting on anyone to tell you where it stands.

What affects the cost of an epoxy garage floor in Converse?

The condition of your slab affects the cost more than anything else, because prep is most of the work. Every coated floor gets ground, but stripping a peeling kit, rebuilding chipped joints and dealing with high moisture each add their own step, and a solid-color epoxy, a full flake floor and a polyaspartic topcoat each use different materials. I won't quote a number over the phone because I'd be guessing about the part that costs the most, so you'll get a written estimate after I walk the floor.
