Katy's commercial corridor along I-10, Grand Parkway, and Mason Road has expanded dramatically over the past decade. Warehouses, distribution centers, auto service shops, and retail showrooms all need floors that can handle forklifts, foot traffic, chemical spills, and daily cleaning without failing. That's a different spec than a residential garage — and we build it to last.
Commercial Applications We Serve
Warehouses & Distribution
High-build epoxy (60–100 mil) with forklift-rated surface hardness. Line striping and zone marking available.
Auto Shops & Dealerships
Chemical-resistant systems engineered for oil, brake fluid, transmission fluid, and fuel. Anti-slip aggregate where lifts are used.
Retail Showrooms
Decorative metallic or solid-color systems that double as a brand statement. High gloss finish that photographs well for listings.
Restaurants & Kitchens
Seamless, USDA-compliant coatings with coved base for sanitation. Anti-slip broadcast in wet zones. Chemical-resistant against cleaners and grease.
Gyms & Fitness Studios
Polyurea or polyaspartic systems with shock-absorbing rubber broadcast. UV-stable for sun-lit spaces. Easy to disinfect.
Medical & Clean Rooms
ESD (electrostatic discharge) systems and seamless anti-microbial coatings. Low-VOC options for occupied facilities.
Commercial vs. Residential: Key Spec Differences
| Specification | Residential Garage | Commercial Floor |
|---|---|---|
| Solids content | 100% solids epoxy base | 100% solids, high-build or broadcast fill |
| Total system thickness | 20–30 mil | 40–125 mil depending on use class |
| Topcoat | Polyaspartic or polyurethane | Chemical-resistant urethane or polyurea |
| Surface prep | Diamond grind | Shot blast (preferred) + grind for heavy contamination |
| Cure / downtime | 24–48 hrs to vehicle traffic | Fast-cure systems: 4–12 hrs to foot traffic; 24 hrs to vehicles |
| Line marking | Rarely needed | Safety striping, zone delineation, ADA compliance available |
The Commercial Installation Process
Site Assessment
We evaluate slab condition, existing coatings, traffic patterns, chemical exposures, and moisture vapor emission. Commercial slabs often have more contamination history than residential.
Shot Blast & Grind
Commercial prep typically uses a shot blaster (walk-behind or ride-on for large areas) followed by diamond grinding at edges and transitions. This creates the CSP 3–5 profile required for high-build systems.
Primer & Base Coat
MVE primer if needed, then 100% solids epoxy base coat applied at 12–20 mils per pass. Multiple passes for heavy-duty applications.
Broadcast or Mid-Coat
Aggregate broadcast (quartz, chip, or anti-slip media) or self-leveling mid-coat for ultra-smooth decorative applications.
Chemical-Resistant Topcoat
Aliphatic polyurethane, polyurea, or polyaspartic topcoat. Chemical resistance, UV stability, and wear performance are specified based on use class.
Line Striping & Curing
Safety lines, zone marking, and stencils applied during topcoat phase. Cure schedule coordinated to minimize operational downtime — many projects complete over a weekend.

| Use Class | System Type | Price Range |
|---|---|---|
| Light Commercial (retail, office) | Decorative epoxy + polyaspartic topcoat | $4.00–$6.00/sq ft |
| Medium Commercial (auto, gym) | High-build epoxy + chemical-resistant topcoat | $5.50–$8.00/sq ft |
| Heavy Commercial (warehouse, MFG) | High-build + broadcast quartz + urethane | $7.00–$11.00/sq ft |
| Food Service / Restaurant Kitchen | Seamless coved system + anti-slip | $8.00–$13.00/sq ft |
| Medical / Clean Room / ESD | Specialty system per spec | Quote on assessment |
