Epoxy Flooring in Lockport, NY

We bring epoxy flooring to Lockport homes and businesses, from older houses near the canal to shops on the edge of the city. Lockport is the Niagara County seat. It takes its name from Erie Canal Locks 34 and 35, which were built to climb a sixty-foot drop in the Niagara Escarpment. The city was incorporated in 1865, and its 2020 population was 20,876.

A manufacturing town

Lockport has been building radiators and car parts for more than a century. Harrison Radiator was founded here in the 1910s and became a General Motors division in 1918. Today the former Harrison plant, run by General Motors Components, is the city's largest employer, with close to 1,400 workers. In a town like that, many people work with their hands and have a garage that shows it.

Garage floors for people who use them

A Lockport garage might hold a daily driver, a project car, a snowblower and a full tool chest. The floor takes:

• Salt brine and slush from November into spring
• Coolant, oil and brake fluid from car work
• Jack stands, creepers and rolling toolboxes
• Dropped parts and tools

A garage floor coating seals the slab against fluids and salt. Adding a flake broadcast gives grip and hides marks. A polyaspartic topcoat holds up well to hot tires and harsh cleaners.

Older houses, older concrete

The 2020 census counted 10,178 housing units in the city. Many are older homes with basements and detached garages. We usually find patched slabs, old paint and cracks that have grown over many winters. Every job begins with diamond grinding, then concrete crack and floor repair. After that we coat. If a slab has settled unevenly, we tell you at the estimate rather than coating over it.

Basement floors

Basement floor epoxy is a popular way to make an older Lockport basement usable for laundry, storage or a workout space. We test for moisture first. A dry slab can be coated in a light color that brightens a dim room. A damp one needs the water dealt with before any coating goes on.

Small businesses and shop floors

As the county seat, Lockport has offices, stores and service businesses alongside its industry. Commercial and shop floor epoxy suits service bays, back rooms and storage areas. It resists fluids and cleans quickly.

Choosing a finish

Solid-color epoxy is simple and bright, and it suits basements and shops where you want to see dropped parts. Flake floors add texture and hide dust between cleanings, which suits a busy garage. Polyaspartic topcoats go on over either one and return the floor to use sooner. At the estimate we show you samples and explain the trade-offs in plain terms, so you can pick what fits how you use the space.

Working around winter

Lockport winters are long, and an unheated garage slab can get too cold for a coating to cure right. We schedule detached and unheated garages for the warmer months. Heated garages, basements and commercial spaces can often be done year-round. On install day we check slab temperature and moisture, and we reschedule if conditions are wrong.

What to have ready for the estimate

Tell us what the space is used for now and what you want it used for. Clear enough of the floor that we can see the worst spots and the edges. Point out any spot that gets wet. We measure, test, and send you a written quote that lists each step and the total.
