San Marcos floors, from house garages to working shops

San Marcos is the Hays County seat, with houses, shops and small businesses side by side, and the floors that need work here run from family garages to slabs a business needs back in use. We're based in Seguin and work here the same way we do in Schertz and Lockhart, with our own crew and the same process from one floor to the next.

A garage or a shop, the floor is usually concrete, and what's on that slab decides the job more than anything else. Old sealer, cracks or moisture coming up through it all change how much prep the floor needs before it can take a coating.

Floor coatings and concrete work we do in San Marcos

We're a flooring contractor in Seguin, TX, and in San Marcos we coat, polish, stain and resurface concrete in houses, shops, businesses and around pools. Which service fits your floor comes down to what's already on the concrete and how much moisture comes up through it, so we decide that after looking at the slab, not over the phone. On a lot of jobs the answer is two services together, like stripping a failed coating and then laying a new one.

What these floors look like when they're done right

These photos show the kinds of floors we put down, from coated garages to polished slabs and resurfaced pool decks. They're examples of the trade, so ask us what your own slab can take.

  • 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 San Marcos: permits, prep and price

Before our crew sets up in San Marcos, I find out whether the city wants a permit for your job. Here's how that affects your schedule, what we take care of, and what decides the price.

Who decides on a permit here

In San Marcos, permits go through the city's Permit & Inspections Division, which handles remodels, pools, decks and other home and business projects. Their list doesn't name floor coatings, so I don't guess. Before we start, I check with the city about your job, and if they say a permit is needed, we apply for it as the contractor and you get a copy.

That answer is what your start date waits on. If a permit is needed, we don't book the install until it's issued, because starting early can mean pulling work back up. If it isn't, we schedule around the slab prep and the cure time the coating maker calls for. Either way, you'll hear which it is from me before we pick a date.

  • Ask any contractor who's checking the permit question, them or you.
  • We apply as the contractor, and a copy comes to you.
  • No install date gets booked until the permit answer is in.

What moves the price and the schedule

The price of a floor here comes down to three things: how big it is, what shape the slab is in and which system goes on it. Grinding off an old coating, filling cracks and dealing with moisture all add work before any coating is mixed. A sound, bare slab with a simple coating costs less than a stained, cracked one getting metallic epoxy.

The schedule turns on that same prep, the permit answer above, and how long the coating needs to cure before you walk or drive on it. Prep is the part I won't shorten to win a job, because it's what holds the floor down. You get your own figure in the written estimate I give after walking your floor, the same way we do it in New Braunfels.

  • Old coatings, paint or glue mean more grinding before anything new.
  • Moisture coming through the slab can change which system we recommend.
  • Decorative finishes like metallic epoxy take more time and more material.

What we find on San Marcos garages, shops and slabs

Most of what decides a floor is already sitting on the concrete when I walk in. These are the conditions we run into on houses and businesses around San Marcos, and what each one means for the job.

  • Old coatings and sealers

    A lot of garage floors already have a roll-on coating or sealer that's flaking or turning yellow. A new coat only holds as well as what's under it, so we grind the old layer off down to bare concrete first.

  • Cracks, chips and patched spots

    Slabs settle and crack, and earlier repairs often sit higher or lower than the floor around them. We cut out loose patches and fill cracks with a repair material made for coatings, so the finished floor reads flat instead of showing every old scar.

  • Moisture coming up through the slab

    Concrete on the ground can pull water up from below, and a coating laid over a damp slab tends to blister or lift. That's why I take moisture readings before I recommend anything, and why some floors get a moisture-blocking primer first.

  • Garages that double as shops

    Plenty of garages here hold a workbench, a freezer and a car, and some double as a small business. That means dropped tools, chemicals and rolling loads, so we match the coating's thickness and topcoat to how the space really gets used.

  • Outdoor slabs and where water goes

    When a job changes an outdoor slab like a patio or pool deck, water still has to run somewhere. Some San Marcos building permit applications need a site plan showing drainage after the work, and the city won't let that runoff go to the front or rear of the property or onto a neighbor.

How we handle a floor from first look to last coat

I started on the sales side of flooring and saw too many coatings fail over slabs nobody checked. These are the practices I built this business on in 2021, and how they play out on your floor.

I read the slab before I quote

Every San Marcos job starts with me on site, not a salesperson. I walk the floor, take slab readings and look at what's already on the concrete, because those decide whether a coating will hold. If your slab isn't ready, I'll say so at the estimate and tell you what it needs, even when that means you don't hire us.

Once you book, our own crew does the prep and the install, and I run the job. We don't hand it to a sub who never saw your floor. The grinding, crack repair and cleanup are the parts nobody sees once the coating is down, and they're the parts that decide how the floor holds up, so that's where we spend the time.

  • Fully licensed and insured

    We're fully licensed and insured. Ask to see the paperwork at the estimate and I'll show you, because you should know who's responsible on your property before anyone starts grinding in your garage or shop.

  • A written estimate, not a phone guess

    I won't give you a number over the phone, because I haven't seen your slab yet. After I walk the floor and check it, you get a written estimate you can hold up against anyone else's, so you're comparing real work and not a guess.

  • Satisfaction guaranteed on every job

    That's our promise, and the way I keep it is by doing the prep right before the coating goes on. If something about the finished floor doesn't look right to you, tell me at the final walkthrough and we'll look at it together.

  • Open evenings and weekends

    Our hours run 7 AM to 11 PM on weekdays and 8 AM to 10 PM on weekends, so you can call (830) 340-0036 after work or send the form. We'll set a time to see your floor that works around your day.

Questions San Marcos homeowners ask about floor projects

Most of these come down to the city's permit steps and what a slab needs before it's coated. If yours isn't here, call and ask, and I'll give you a straight answer.

Who handles permit applications in San Marcos, TX?

The City of San Marcos handles them through its permit and inspections office, the same one that processes building, remodel, pool and deck permits. For a floor job, I'm the one who checks with that office before we start, so the permit question is settled before your install date is.

How do I find out if my floor project needs a permit in San Marcos?

Start with the application requirements on the city's permits and applications page, and if they don't settle it, the city may recommend its Permit Determination Form. You can also email permitinfo@sanmarcostx.gov or call 512.805.2630 with questions. If you hire us, I make that check for you before we schedule anything.

When is a Floodplain Permit required in San Marcos?

The city's building permit application calls for a Floodplain Permit when the property is in the floodplain. So if your house or business sits in the floodplain and your job needs a building permit, plan on both. I ask about it when I check your job with the city.

Can I apply for a building permit online in San Marcos?

Yes, the city takes in, reviews and processes a range of applications and permits electronically through its online system, MGO Connect. If your floor job needs a permit, we file it as the contractor, so you don't have to do the application yourself.

How much does a garage floor coating cost in San Marcos?

Your price comes from the floor's size, its condition and the coating you choose, and you get it in a written estimate after I've seen the slab. The biggest swing is usually what's already on the floor, because stripping a failed coating, paint or glue adds a full step before the normal grinding. A solid or flake coat also runs less than metallic epoxy.

What causes a garage floor coating to peel in San Marcos?

Usually it's the prep, not the product. A coating rolled over old sealer, oil-soaked concrete or a damp slab never grabs the concrete itself, so it lets go at the edges and under the tires. We grind to bare concrete and take moisture readings before anything goes down.
