Epoxy Flooring in Tinley Park, IL

Epoxy flooring in Tinley Park is about garages and slabs from one long building run. Wikipedia notes that more than 11,000 housing units went up between 1970 and 1994, mostly west and south of the old village center, and the village now spreads across both Cook and Will counties. Those homes are old enough now that their garage floors show their age.

Four decades of nearly equal building

ACS figures summarized by Point2Homes show 20.8% of homes built in the 1970s, 18.1% in the 1980s, 20.9% in the 1990s and 21.2% in the 2000s. That even spread means two neighbors can have garages poured 25 years apart. A 1970s slab is often worn and scaled near the door. A 2000s slab may still be smooth, with a hard troweled finish that needs grinding to open up before any coating will grip.

A village with an old concrete story

Wikipedia says inventor John Rauhoff developed Ironite in Tinley Park, a cement waterproofing additive later used in building Hoover Dam. It is a fitting bit of history, because water is still the biggest enemy of a garage floor here. Snowmelt and salt brine sit under parked cars for weeks. A sealed, non-porous coating keeps that brine on top of the floor where you can rinse it away.

Townhomes and shared driveways

About 22.2% of Tinley Park housing units are single-family attached, per the same ACS summary. Townhome garages share walls and sometimes driveways, so noise, dust and parking matter. We use dust-control grinders with vacuums, and we can plan around shared drives so neighbors are not blocked in.

Light industrial and flex space

Tinley Park has a long history of manufacturing, from the Diamond Spiral Washing Machine Company's first factory in 1905 to a cola bottling plant that ran until the 1950s, per Wikipedia. Today's flex buildings and small shops still need floors for carts, forklifts and spills. We look at traffic, chemicals and cleaning routines before recommending a thickness and topcoat.

Concert season and summer scheduling

The Credit Union 1 Amphitheatre, which opened in 1990, holds around 28,000 people per event. Summer is also the easiest time to coat an unheated garage. If you live near the venue, we can plan around show nights so our crew is not stuck in traffic.
