Coating the Fifties, One Garage at a Time

Epoxy flooring in Evergreen Park almost always means a slab from around the 1950s. ACS figures summarized by Point2Homes show 42.1% of the village's housing was built in that decade, with 16.7% in the 1940s and 15.7% in the 1960s. Fewer than one in ten came after 1980. The garages and basements of those homes have now been through seventy-odd Chicago winters.

What seventy winters do to concrete

On a slab that age we expect to find:

Spalling and pitting from road salt near the garage door.
Cracks patched over and over.
Low spots where water collects after snowmelt.
Old paint or sealer that has worn through in traffic lanes.

We deal with each one before coating. That is why our quotes list prep steps separately.

Mostly single-family homes

About 86.9% of housing units in Evergreen Park are single-family detached, and 84.8% of occupied homes are owner occupied, per the same ACS summary. That makes the village mostly a homeowner market, where the typical project is a detached or attached one- or two-car garage, or a basement used for laundry and storage.

Bordered by the city

Wikipedia notes that Evergreen Park is bordered by Chicago on the north, east and south, and by Oak Lawn and Hometown on the west. Traffic in and out of the city brings plenty of salt and slush into garages during winter. A flake floor sealed with polyaspartic sheds brine and rinses clean.

Medical and retail spaces

Little Company of Mary Hospital opened in 1930 at 95th Street and California Avenue, and was the site of the world's first successful kidney transplant in 1950, per Wikipedia. Evergreen Marketplace replaced the old Evergreen Plaza in 2018. Clinics, stockrooms and service areas in the village need floors that clean easily and take carts, and we can walk those spaces.

Basements without surprises

Some basements were finished long ago and later stripped back. Before coating, we check for old adhesive or tile residue, which must be removed, and we test moisture so the floor bonds.

Evergreen Park Questions

My Evergreen Park basement has old tile glue on it. Can it be coated?

Yes, after the residue is removed. We grind it off so the coating bonds to bare concrete. Some old adhesives need special handling, and we will tell you if we see one.

Can low spots in a 1950s garage be fixed?

Small low spots can be filled with a repair mortar before coating. Large dips may need more work, which we price separately.

Which topcoats hold up to Chicago street salt?

A polyaspartic or urethane topcoat resists salt brine well and makes rinsing easy.

Do you coat clinic or retail back rooms?

Yes. We can phase the job or work after hours so the business keeps running.
