Reviving Garages From the Subdivision Era

Epoxy flooring in Dunwoody usually involves a slab that has been around longer than its current owner. The area stayed rural until suburban development began in the 1960s, when neighborhoods like Georgetown went in. Dunwoody Village and Perimeter Mall both followed in 1971. Many garages in town still sit on concrete from those first decades, and after fifty years of tires, oil and winter grit, they need more than a coat of paint.

What a 50-year-old slab usually needs

Older garage floors tend to share a few problems:

Oil and fluid stains worked far down into the concrete.
Hairline and settlement cracks from decades of seasonal movement.
Old paint or sealer that a previous owner rolled on.
Pitting and spalling near the door where water and grit collect.

We deal with each one before coating. That means diamond grinding, degreasing, patching cracks and pits, and testing moisture. The prep is the bulk of the work on a floor this age.

After the storm

On April 8, 1998, a major tornado struck Dunwoody, damaging thousands of homes and bringing down tens of thousands of trees. Some houses were repaired and others rebuilt, so a single street can mix original slabs with newer concrete. We look at each garage on its own terms instead of assuming its age from the house.

Choosing a finish for family garages

For a garage that holds two cars, bikes, a freezer and holiday bins, a full flake epoxy floor is a practical pick. It hides dust, gives decent grip and is easy to mop. A polyaspartic topcoat adds scratch resistance and stays clear in sunlight that pours through an open door.

Perimeter Center floors

Perimeter Center is one of metro Atlanta's largest job centers, with towers up to the 34-story Ravinia 3. InterContinental Hotels Group was listed as the largest employer in a 2011 report. Hotels, offices and the businesses that serve them have kitchens, laundry rooms, loading docks and parking-level storage where a commercial epoxy system pays for itself in easier cleaning.

Built higher, still humid

Dunwoody sits at 1,129 feet, a bit higher than downtown Atlanta, but summers here are just as damp. We still check dew point against slab temperature before every coat.

Dunwoody Questions

My Dunwoody garage floor is from the 1970s. Is it too old to coat?

No. Age mostly affects prep. Older slabs need deeper grinding, stain removal and crack repair, and we test for moisture first. With that work done, an older floor can take a coating well.

Can deep oil stains be fixed before coating?

Most can be cleaned and ground out. Very saturated spots may need a special primer to keep oil from rising through. We point those areas out during the estimate.

Does a flake floor work with a garage freezer and storage?

Yes. Flake floors handle storage well. We suggest moving heavy items out for the install and putting felt pads or a mat under anything that will sit in one place for years.

Do you coat hotel or office service areas at Perimeter?

We install commercial floors in kitchens, laundry rooms, docks and storage areas. We can plan the work in phases so the building keeps running.
