How New Braunfels floors look when we walk in

We drive over from Seguin for New Braunfels jobs, and the calls here run from two-car garages and backyard shops to small businesses that need a working floor back in use. We also redo floors in houses where the old carpet or tile has come up and the owner wants the slab itself to be the floor. It's the same work we do in San Marcos and back home in Seguin, and as a flooring contractor based in Seguin, TX, we plan it the same way.

No two slabs we see here are alike. Some carry years of paint, sealer or tile glue, some have never been touched, and some have taken on water, so what's on the concrete and what's coming up through it shapes every job before we pick a finish.

Flooring and concrete work we do in New Braunfels

We bring every service on our list to New Braunfels, from garage coatings and polished concrete to pool decks and shop floors. The planning is the same each time. I come out, walk the floor and take slab readings, and then we pick the system that fits what the slab can take and how you use the room. Our own crew does the prep and the install, and I run the job. Pick a service below to read how that work goes.

What these floors look like once they're down

These photos show the kinds of floors we put down, from coated garages to polished slabs and pool decks. They're examples of the trade, so ask what a finish would look like on 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 spacious garage with a glossy, speckled gray-and-tan coated floor, wall-mounted tools, bicycles, and storage shelves.

Working in New Braunfels: permits, contractor checks and price

Here's what the city expects on a flooring job and what you can check about whoever you hire. After that comes what moves the price and the schedule on a New Braunfels floor.

Permits and contractor checks in New Braunfels

The city's Building Division handles building permits for work inside the city limits, and it requires one to alter or repair a building but not for cosmetic work. Where a coating or overlay falls isn't something I guess at. Before we start, I check with the city about your job, and if a permit is needed, we apply for it as the contractor and you get a copy.

When a permit is needed, it comes before any grinding, so the city's side sets the start date more than anything we do. If your house sits in a FEMA flood zone, the city requires a floodplain permit for development there, which adds a step. Building and floodplain permits expire at 180 days if no progress is shown.

  • Every contractor on a remodel has to be registered with the city.
  • Ask any contractor you're weighing whether they're registered with the city.
  • A garage conversion needs a city building permit before work starts.

What sets the price and the schedule

Square footage counts, but the slab's condition usually moves the price more. Old paint, sealer, glue or a failed coating means extra grinding, and cracks, pits and low spots get repaired before anything goes down. The system matters too, since a clear sealer is a lighter job than a full flake or metallic coating with several coats.

The schedule turns on whether the city wants a permit, what the slab readings show and how long the coating cures before you walk or drive on it. A damp slab has to be dealt with before a coating goes on, which can push the start back. I walk the floor, check the slab and give you a written estimate, so your number comes from your floor.

  • Flake, metallic and polished finishes each take a different number of steps.
  • Cracks get opened up and filled so they're less likely to show through.
  • A shop floor in daily use may need the work planned around your hours.

What New Braunfels houses and garages ask of a floor

Most of what decides a floor here is already on the slab before we arrive. These are the conditions we plan around when we work on houses, garages and shop buildings in New Braunfels.

  • Garages that double as shops

    A lot of garages here hold a truck, a workbench and years of oil drips. Tools get dropped, jacks get rolled and hot tires park on the same spot every night, so we pick a tougher system for these floors than a showroom would need.

  • Old paint and sealer on the slab

    Plenty of garage and patio slabs have been painted or sealed at some point, often with a store-bought kit that's now peeling. A new coating won't grip that, so we take it all off with grinding or stripping before we put anything new down.

  • Water that finds its way in

    The city says its whole community is susceptible to flooding, not just homes in mapped flood zones. Garages and low rooms are where that tends to show up, so we look for water stains, the white powder moisture leaves on concrete and damp readings before we pick a floor.

  • Cracks and slabs out of level

    Most slabs we see have cracks, and some sit uneven where an addition meets the original house or a garage was converted. We fill the cracks and grind down high spots, and where a slab is badly out of level, we pour a self-leveling layer before the finish goes on.

  • Old flooring left on the slab

    When carpet, tile or vinyl comes up in a house, the slab underneath usually carries tack strip holes, tile mortar or black adhesive. All of that has to come off cleanly for a polished, stained or coated floor to work, and it's often the biggest part of the prep.

What you get when we take on your floor

A floor holds up because of prep you'll never see once it's done. Here's how that shapes the way we plan and run jobs in New Braunfels.

I check the slab before I quote

I came up on the sales side of flooring and coatings, and on job sites I kept seeing the same thing. A good product went down on a slab that was damp, sealed or dusty, and before long it was lifting. So when I come out, I take slab readings before we talk about colors or finishes, because the slab decides what will last.

Sometimes the reading says your slab isn't ready, and I'll tell you so before I tell you what it'll take. That might mean dealing with moisture first, stripping an old coating or choosing a different floor than the one you had in mind. I'd rather lose a job by being honest about the slab than win it and watch the coating lift later.

  • Our own crew, me running it

    I come out to look at the job and take the readings myself, and our own crew does the prep and the install with me running the job. The person who saw your slab is the one making sure the grinding and repairs get done right.

  • Licensed, insured and guaranteed

    We're fully licensed and insured for the work we do in New Braunfels and the other cities around Seguin. The promise is the same on a one-car garage or a full shop floor. Satisfaction guaranteed on every job.

  • Garage and shop floors first

    Garage and shop floors are what we're best known for, and they take more abuse than any other floor on the property. That's where we've learned how hard to grind, which systems hold up under tires and tools, and how to get a small business back on its floor without wasted days.

  • Based in Seguin since 2021

    I started the business in Seguin in 2021, and we work in New Braunfels and the other cities around it. Call (830) 340-0036 or use the form when you're ready, and I'll set up a time to come look at your floor.

New Braunfels flooring questions we hear on estimates

These are the questions New Braunfels homeowners and shop owners ask about permits, flood risk, cost and timing. If yours isn't here, ask me when I come out to look at the floor.

Do I need a permit for an epoxy garage floor in New Braunfels?

The city's rules don't name floor coatings either way, so I ask before we start. Its list of cosmetic work that needs no building permit includes replacing floor covering, but an epoxy or overlay job isn't spelled out. The city's permit staff answer questions when a homeowner isn't sure, and the permit check described above happens before every job we take here.

How much does a garage floor coating cost in New Braunfels?

Your price comes from your slab more than your square footage, so I give you a written figure after I've walked the floor and taken readings. Old paint or sealer, cracks, moisture and the system you choose are what move it, as laid out above.

Can I do my own floor work on my homestead in New Braunfels?

Often, yes, because a city bulletin lets an owner living in an existing home they claim as a homestead do certain work without registering as a general contractor. You still get any permits the job needs, and anyone you pay to help has to be a licensed, registered subcontractor holding a permit for their part. If you'd rather hand the grinding and coating to us, that's the work we do.

How do I check my flood risk in New Braunfels before putting in a new floor?

Start with FEMA's flood map viewer, which FEMA calls the best place to begin for official flood hazard determinations. If your lot is in a mapped flood zone, the floodplain permit covered above may come into play. Either way, tell me about any water you've had in the garage, because I'll look for it in the slab readings.

How long does an epoxy floor take in New Braunfels?

The time on site comes down to how much prep the slab needs and how long the coating has to cure, so I give you a schedule after the readings. A clean, dry slab moves along. One with old coatings, cracks or moisture takes longer, and a city permit, if one is needed, comes before any of it.

What causes epoxy to peel off garage floors in New Braunfels?

Usually it's the prep underneath, not the product. Epoxy rolled onto a smooth, dusty, sealed or damp slab can't grip, and hot tires or moisture coming up then pull it loose. That's why we grind the slab open and take moisture readings before any coating goes down.
