Metallic Epoxy Flooring in Seguin TX - a look you approved before we started
Plain gray concrete and want something with depth? We check the slab, show you a sample, then lay a metallic floor over it.
What is a metallic epoxy floor, and will it work on my slab?
Metallic epoxy flooring is a coating for concrete, a see-through metallic coat laid over a colored base coat, and in Seguin, TX we use it to turn a plain gray slab into a floor with depth and movement that you pick color by color.
Most calls start with bare concrete in a garage, a shop or a living area, and someone who wants it to look like more. Metallic is the finish where no two floors come out alike, but it's hard to lay and it shows every flaw in the slab under it, so I look at the concrete before I talk about color.
The slab moves the price most, since how much grinding and crack repair it needs changes the labor, and the size of the room, the colors you pick and extras like a topcoat or grit add to it. The schedule turns on what I find in the slab, the temperature and humidity while the coats cure and how soon you need the room back. You get your own figure in a written estimate after I've seen the floor.
- Diamond grinding the concrete first, so the coating has a clean, scratched surface to bond to.
- A colored base coat and a see-through metallic coat, picked together for the final look.
- A moisture check on any slab that sits on the ground, before a coating goes down.

Call or send us a message
Call (830) 340-0036 or use the form, and tell me the room, its rough size and the look you have in mind. We get back to you and set a time for me to come out.
I check the slab myself
I look at the floor, check it for moisture and cracks and ask how you use the space, because a garage and a living room need different things. You get a written estimate for your job, so you know the cost before you decide anything.
We prep and lay the floor
If you go ahead, we set a date and start with the sample, so you can sign off on the look. Then our crew preps the slab and lays the coats over the whole room.
We walk the floor together
Before we pack up, I walk the finished floor with you and point out anything I'd want to know if it were mine. I'll also tell you when it's ready for use, since that depends on how it cures.

(830) 340-0036Questions about metallic epoxy floors in Seguin
These are the questions I hear most from Seguin homeowners and shop owners thinking about a metallic floor. Where a maker's instructions or a city rule decides the answer, I say so.
Does the base color change how a metallic epoxy floor looks?
Yes, a lot. Because the metallic coat is see-through, one maker notes that a white or light base coat gives a lighter floor and a black or darker one gives a darker floor. That's why I treat the base color as half the look, and the sample shows you both layers together.
How much does metallic epoxy flooring cost in Seguin, TX?
I can't give you an honest number until I've seen the slab, and I'll put your figure in a written estimate after I walk the floor. A slab that needs heavy grinding or crack repair costs more than one in good shape, and I'd rather tell you that up front than cut prep to hit a lower number.
How long does a metallic epoxy floor take to dry before I can walk on it?
In one maker's instructions, the coating needs 24 hours at 75°F and 50% relative humidity before light foot traffic, and 14 days to reach its full properties. Cooler air, low humidity or heavier traffic call for more time. I'll tell you on the walk-through what your floor is ready for and when.
Who can do flooring work on my Seguin home?
You can do the work yourself on your own homestead with the proper permits, following the city's codes, if you own and live in the house and it's registered as a homestead with the Guadalupe County Appraisal District. If you hire out any part of it, the City of Seguin requires the contractor to be licensed with the city and registered with its Development Services Center before any permit is issued. We're fully licensed and insured.
How do I get a room ready for a metallic epoxy install?
Clear the room, and plan on pilot lights and anything that can spark, like electric motors, being shut off before we start. One maker warns that solvent-based products are extremely flammable and says the room needs good cross ventilation before installing begins, so we'll go over which doors and windows to open when we set the date.
What should I ask a metallic epoxy contractor before I hire them?
Ask whether they've read the product's technical data sheet and material safety data sheet, since one maker says to check both before use. Ask too whether they'll lay a sample and what they'll do about moisture in your slab. If the answers are vague, keep looking.
Metallic epoxy flooring in Seguin and nearby cities
Seguin's building office decides whether a floor job needs a permit, and its no-permit list doesn't name metallic floors, so I check with them first. If one's needed, we apply as the contractor and you get a copy.
