What Kirby floors usually need from us

Kirby is one of the cities we drive to from our base in Seguin, and the floors we're asked about here are the same ones we see across the area. That usually means attached garages that have taken years of cars, patios and pool decks out back, and small business floors that need to get back in use quickly. We work in Converse and Universal City nearby the same way.

Nearly all of it is concrete poured on the ground, so what comes up through the slab matters as much as what we put on top, and that's why the slab gets checked before anything else.

Floor services we bring to Kirby homes and shops

We bring all our floor services to Kirby, from garage coatings to polished concrete and pool deck resurfacing, plus the grinding and removal work that sits underneath them. We plan a job here the same way we do anywhere. I come out, take the slab readings and look at what's already on the concrete, and then we pick the system that fits how you'll use the floor and what the slab can take. Sometimes that means telling you the slab needs more work first, or that a sealer is all it needs.

What these floors look like when they're done

These photos show the kinds of floors we put down, from flake garage coatings to polished and stained concrete. Use them to get a feel for the finishes before we talk about your slab.

  • 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 Kirby: permits, licenses and what sets the price

Before a Kirby floor job starts, there's the city's side of it and the slab's side of it. Here's how the permit question gets settled, and what moves your price and your schedule.

Who decides on the permit in Kirby

The City of Kirby issues the building permits here, and it wants you to check its renovation requirements before any work begins. Its permit list names carports, fences, patio slab covers and roofs, and floor coatings aren't on it, so whether your job needs a permit is the city's call. 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, and the schedule waits on the city's answer. Kirby asks every applicant to attach a contractor license plus liability insurance or a surety bond, so it's fair to ask any contractor you're considering to show you theirs.

  • Plumbing, electrical and mechanical work each need a separate city permit.
  • A plan drawing showing the scope of work goes with an application.
  • We're fully licensed and insured, and you're welcome to see both.

What moves the price and the schedule

Price comes down to the slab more than the square footage. A clean, sound garage floor costs less to coat than one with old paint to strip, cracks to fill or moisture coming through, because that prep is most of the labor. The system you pick matters too, with a plain sealer at one end and a metallic or polyaspartic floor at the other.

The schedule turns on the city's answer about the permit, how much prep the slab needs and how long each coat has to cure before the next one goes on or you drive on it. Moisture readings can change the plan, and I'd rather wait or switch systems than coat a wet slab. My written estimate gives you your own figure.

  • Old coatings, glue or paint add grinding and stripping time.
  • Cracks and chipped spots get repaired before any coating goes down.
  • Fast-curing systems shorten the wait but usually cost more up front.

What Kirby garages and slabs usually need before a coating

Most floor problems we're called about start in the concrete, not the coating. These are the conditions we look for on Kirby properties before we suggest any system.

  • Oil and tire marks

    Years of parked cars leave oil soaked into the concrete and rubber marks on top, and a coating laid over oil lets go there first. We degrease and grind those spots until the concrete is clean, because hot tires will pull up any coating that isn't stuck to sound concrete.

  • Old paint and sealer on top

    A lot of garages and patios already have a store-bought paint or sealer on them, usually peeling where the cars sit. New coating won't hold to old coating that's letting go, so we grind or strip it back to bare concrete before anything new goes down.

  • Cracks and control joints

    Most slabs have hairline cracks and control joints, the straight lines cut in to steer cracking. We fill and repair cracks before coating so they're less likely to show through, and we decide joint by joint whether to fill them or carry them through the finish.

  • Moisture coming up from below

    Slabs poured on the ground can push moisture up through the concrete, and it's the most common reason I see a coating bubble or lift. I take readings before we quote, and if the slab is too wet, I'll tell you and we'll talk about a moisture-tolerant system or waiting.

  • Shop floors that need to reopen

    Small business owners usually can't close for long, so the floor plan has to fit around their hours. We look at the traffic, the chemicals on the floor and how soon you need it back, then pick a system and order the work to match.

How we decide what your Kirby floor needs

I started this business in Seguin to do floors the way I used to tell people they should be done. Here's what that looks like when we work on a Kirby floor.

We check the slab before we sell anything

I came up on the sales side of flooring, and I watched a lot of coatings get sold over slabs that were never ready to hold them. So when I come out to your Kirby property, the slab gets checked first, readings and all, before we talk about colors or flakes. If it isn't ready, you'll hear that from me up front.

I'd rather lose a job by telling you the truth about your slab than win it and watch the coating lift a year later. Sometimes the honest answer is more prep, a different system or just a sealer. When you're ready to talk about your floor, call (830) 340-0036 or send the form, and I'll come out and take a look.

  • I take the readings myself

    The person who quotes your floor is the person who checked it. I come out, walk the floor and take the slab readings myself, then I run the job while our own crew does the prep and the install, so nothing gets lost between the estimate and the work.

  • Garage and shop floors first

    We've been doing this since 2021, and garage and shop floors are what we're best known for. That's where prep matters most, because cars, tools and carts find every weak spot in a floor that was rushed.

  • Licensed, insured and guaranteed

    We're fully licensed and insured, and it's satisfaction guaranteed on every job. A guarantee only means something if the floor is done right underneath, which is why the prep gets the time it needs instead of being the place we save an afternoon.

  • Based in Seguin, working nearby

    We're based in Seguin and work across the cities around it, Kirby among them, plus more beyond the ones on our city pages. You're dealing with the owner who'll be on your job and the same crew from the first grind to the final coat.

Questions Kirby homeowners ask about floor coatings

These are the questions we hear about permits, cost, flood risk and why floors fail. If yours isn't here, call or send the form and I'll answer it.

What happens if floor work starts in Kirby before the permit is issued?

If work starts without a required permit, Kirby charges an investigation fee equal to the permit fee, on top of the permit fee itself. The city's building permit page also says an application isn't permission to begin. On jobs that need a permit, we wait for the city's go-ahead before we grind anything.

How do I find out if my Kirby floor project needs plans?

Call Kirby City Hall at (210) 661-3198 ext. 7, which is the line the city gives for finding out whether plans are required. All new construction there needs two sets of complete plans. When I check with the city about your floor, I ask about plans at the same time.

How much does an epoxy garage floor cost in Kirby, TX?

The cost depends mostly on your slab's condition and the system you choose, so I give you a written figure after walking the floor instead of guessing over the phone. A bigger garage, more coats, a full flake broadcast, a metallic finish or a fast-curing polyaspartic topcoat all raise it. A sound, clean slab with a simpler system keeps it down.

What causes an epoxy garage floor to peel?

Most peeling comes from prep, usually concrete that wasn't ground, oil or old sealer left in the surface, or moisture pushing up from below. Store-bought kits often skip the grinding, so the coating sits on top of the concrete instead of bonding to it. That's why I take slab readings and we grind before anything goes down.

Is my Kirby home in a high-risk flood zone?

Bexar County's flood guidance says everyone is in a floodplain, so the real question is whether your home sits in a high-risk zone, mainly A or AE, or in the lowest-risk zone, X. The county's risk factors include your flood zone, your home's elevation, where equipment like A/C units sits and how the lot is graded. For a floor, a garage that sits low or takes water from the grading usually needs closer moisture checks before we coat it.
