Epoxy Flooring in Dell Rapids, SD

Epoxy flooring in Dell Rapids often means bringing an older floor back. The town was founded in 1871 and incorporated in 1888. After a fire in the 1880s burned its wooden main street, it was rebuilt in Sioux quartzite, the local pink stone. Dell Rapids has grown slowly and steadily, from 1,255 people in 1900 to 3,996 in 2020, so it has a deeper stock of older homes than the newer suburbs closer to Sioux Falls.

Older basements need a careful start

Many Dell Rapids basements have been painted, sealed or patched over the years. Before any coating goes on, we:

• Test the slab for moisture in several places
• Grind off old paint, sealer and loose surface material
• Fill cracks and patch pitted or spalled spots
• Choose a primer that suits the slab's moisture level

Then basement floor epoxy turns a dusty, uneven-looking floor into one you can sweep and mop. If the room is finished living space, a metallic epoxy floor gives it a polished look.

Sure footing for every age

Dell Rapids has more older residents than most towns around Sioux Falls. In 2020, 17.8% of residents were 65 or older, and 13.4% of households were someone 65 or older living alone. A garage floor that is slick with meltwater is a real hazard. We can add an anti-slip aggregate to the topcoat, especially in the path from the car to the house door and at the bottom of basement stairs. A flake floor also adds texture on its own.

Garages with years of wear

Older detached and attached garages here have had decades of salt, oil and frost. Expect scaling near the door, stains under where cars park, and cracks along the joints. We grind until we reach sound concrete, repair what needs it, and finish with a garage floor coating in flake or solid color. A polyaspartic topcoat is a good choice when you want the garage back quickly.

Quarry town shops and businesses

LG Everist runs two large Sioux quartzite quarries here, served by a rail line run by its D&I Railroad subsidiary, and the high school teams are the Quarriers. Dell Rapids has its share of shops, service businesses and storage buildings. For those, commercial and shop floor epoxy gives a thick, chemical-resistant surface that stands up to heavy wear and is easy to sweep.

Choosing a finish for a quartzite-town home

Many owners in Dell Rapids like a floor that echoes the local stone. Flake blends with warm reds, tans and grays sit well in a garage next to a quartzite foundation or a brick-and-stone exterior. In a finished basement, a metallic epoxy in copper or bronze tones gives a similar warmth. We bring samples so you can compare them against your space.
