Epoxy Flooring in Lennox, SD

A lot of the epoxy flooring we put down in Lennox is about footing. In the 2020 census, 17.2% of Lennox residents were 65 or older, and 12.4% of households were someone 65 or older living alone. For many of those homeowners, the garage step and the basement laundry room are where a fall is most likely. A coated floor with the right texture is easier to walk on when wet and easier to keep clean.

How we add grip

A smooth, glossy epoxy can be slick when wet. We handle that in a few ways:

• Flake broadcast. The chips add a slight texture across the whole floor.
• Aggregate in the topcoat. A fine grit mixed into the final coat gives more traction, especially near doors.
• Satin finish. A lower-sheen topcoat shows less glare in a bright garage.

We can use more texture near the garage door and the house entry, and less in a basement where you walk in socks.

The garage entry

In winter, snow melts off the car and pools by the step into the house. That puddle is the spot to watch. A coated floor lets you squeegee the water out, and a textured topcoat helps if you step in it anyway. We also fill the pits and chips along that path, since uneven concrete is a trip risk on its own.

Basement laundry and storage

If the laundry is downstairs, a basement floor epoxy turns rough, dusty concrete into a surface you can mop. Light colors brighten the space, which also helps you see where you are stepping. Before we coat, we test the slab for moisture and use the right primer.

A railroad town with older and newer homes

Lennox was settled in 1879 and named for Ben Lennox, a Milwaukee Railroad secretary. It now has 961 housing units and grew 14.8% between 2010 and 2020. Slabs range from older floors with paint and patches to newer garages that just need a grind. Either way, we explain the prep in the quote.

Planning the work around your routine

If the laundry room is the only one in the house, we plan for that. We can coat the basement in sections or schedule so you can run a load before we start and after the floor has cured enough for foot traffic. In the garage, we tell you ahead of time how long the vehicles need to stay out. That gives you time to arrange parking and move anything stored on the floor. We also leave clear instructions on when you can walk on each area, so there is no guessing about whether it is ready.
