Epoxy Flooring in Hartford, SD

Epoxy flooring in Hartford depends a lot on which part of town you live in. The town was laid out as Oaksville in 1878, renamed Hartford in 1881 after Hartford, Connecticut, and incorporated in 1896. For most of the next 70 years it held between about 600 and 700 people. Then it took off: 1,207 in 1980, 1,844 in 2000 and 3,354 in 2020. That gives Hartford a small older core and a much larger ring of newer homes.

In the older blocks

Houses near the original town often have detached garages, some added years after the house. Those floors tend to show:

• Thin or uneven slabs with low spots that hold water
• Settled or cracked sections near the apron
• Old paint or sealer, often peeling
• Oil and rust stains that have been there for decades

These floors need the most prep. We grind off the old finish and damaged surface, repair cracks and pits, and may build up low areas before the base coat. Then a flake or solid-color garage floor coating seals it. If a slab is broken through or heaving, we will tell you that concrete work has to come first.

In the newer subdivisions

Most of Hartford's growth came after 1970. Garages in the newer subdivisions are usually attached, flat and sound. The common issue is a slick surface finish that a coating will not grip. We grind, clean and coat. For many of these homes, a polyaspartic floor coating makes sense because it cures quickly and the garage is back in use sooner.

A town of homeowners

The 2020 census counted 1,294 housing units in Hartford, with a homeowner vacancy rate of 2.2%. About 59.3% of households were married couples and 42.2% had children. Most of our calls here come from owners planning to stay. They tend to ask for floors that will last rather than a quick cosmetic fix, which is why we spend the time on prep.

Basements and shops

In both old and new parts of town, basements get used for storage, laundry and family space. Basement floor epoxy turns a dusty slab into one you can sweep and mop. If you have a detached shop or a work garage, commercial and shop floor epoxy gives you a thicker, chemical-resistant floor that stands up to jacks and dropped tools.

Which floor to start with

If your budget allows one project this year, start where the damage is worst. In older Hartford homes that is often the garage, because salt keeps eating at bare concrete every winter. In newer homes the garage may still be in good shape, so some owners start with the basement and coat the garage a year later. We can quote both and help you decide the order.
