Epoxy Flooring in East Aurora, NY

We install epoxy flooring in East Aurora for homeowners whose garages and basements are often much older than the cars parked in them. The village was founded in 1804 and incorporated in 1874. Millard Fillmore built a house here in 1825, and the Roycroft Campus was named a National Historic Landmark in 1986. A place with that much history has a lot of concrete poured at very different times, by very different crews.

Growth that came in waves

Census counts tell the story. East Aurora had 1,109 people in 1880, 3,703 in 1920 and 6,791 in 1960. It peaked at 7,033 in 1970 and counted 5,998 in 2020. That means most homes here were built before the 1970s, and many well before. On a typical estimate in the village we might find:

• A detached garage at the end of a driveway, with a thin slab poured decades after the house
• A basement floor patched more than once, with a sump pit or old floor drain
• Two or three layers of garage paint over each other
• Joints and cracks that have opened a little wider every winter

Why we grind before we coat

Old concrete is rarely clean concrete. Paint, sealers and years of oil sit in the top layer. A coating rolled over that bonds to the old finish, and it lets go when the finish does. We take the floor down to sound concrete with a diamond grinder, fill cracks and broken edges, and only then put down a base coat. On an older slab this step usually takes longer than the coating itself.

Floors near the creek

The East Branch of Cazenovia Creek runs through the south part of the village. Homes in lower spots can have basements that stay damp in spring. Before we quote a basement floor epoxy job, we test the slab for moisture. If water is actually coming through the floor or walls, a coating will not fix it, and we will tell you that up front. A dry basement with a dull, dusty slab is a good fit for epoxy, and it brightens the room for laundry, storage or a home gym.

Which systems fit East Aurora homes

• Garage floor coating for attached and detached garages that take on salty slush all winter
• Epoxy flake floors when you want texture underfoot and a finish that hides grit between cleanings
• Polyaspartic floor coating when you need the garage back in service sooner
• Concrete crack and floor repair for the patched, uneven slabs common in older homes

Shops and small commercial spaces

East Aurora is also a working village. Fisher-Price and Moog have their headquarters here, and Astronics is based here too. The village supports plenty of smaller businesses along with those big names. We coat workshop, storage and back-room floors for businesses that want a sealed surface that sweeps clean. Commercial jobs get the same written scope as a garage: prep, coats, cure times and the total.
