Epoxy Flooring in Orchard Park, NY

Epoxy flooring in Orchard Park often starts with a garage that does a lot more than hold a car. This is the town that hosts Highmark Stadium, home of the Buffalo Bills, out in the hamlet of Windom on the western edge of town. Here, garages are gear rooms, workshops and gathering spots in fall and winter. A coated floor holds up to that use and cleans up after it.

A town with deep roots and newer homes

Orchard Park goes back to 1803, when Didymus and Phebe Kinney built a cabin here. Quaker settlers began arriving the next year. The town split from Hamburg in 1850, was soon renamed East Hamburgh, and took the name Orchard Park in 1934. The village center sits at the junction of Routes 240 and 20A.

The town covers about 38.5 square miles, and the housing is spread out. The 2010 count listed 10,644 housing units at about 276 per square mile. That leaves room for larger lots and bigger garages, and we coat many two-car and wider floors here.

Systems homeowners here choose

Epoxy flake floors are the most popular choice in larger garages. The chips come in many color blends, hide dirt between cleanings and add grip for wet boots.

Polyaspartic floor coating is a good fit when you want the garage back fast. It cures much faster than standard epoxy, which helps if you do not want to park outside for days in late fall.

A full garage floor coating system includes diamond grinding, concrete crack and floor repair, a base coat, a flake or color layer and a clear topcoat.

Basements and home gyms

Many homes here have basements used as gyms, play areas or storage. Basement floor epoxy gives a sealed surface that is easy to clean. We always test the slab for moisture first, since a coating cannot stop water rising from below.

Workshops and outbuildings

On larger properties, detached shops and barns with concrete floors are common. Commercial and shop floor epoxy handles heavier equipment, tool carts and spills.

Bigger garages, bigger decisions

A three-car garage or a wide two-and-a-half bay gives you room to plan. Some owners split the floor, with a flake finish in the parking bays and a smoother, solid color under a workbench. Others want one finish wall to wall. We can lay out either and show you how each looks on sample boards at the estimate.

Caring for a coated garage through winter

Orchard Park garages see plenty of snow and road salt. A coated floor makes cleanup easy, but a little routine keeps it looking new:

• Keep a squeegee by the door and push standing slush out every few days.
• Put a mat at the house entry to catch grit before it reaches the kitchen.
• Rinse the floor with water and a mild cleaner in spring to clear salt film.
• Use pads under jack stands, metal shelving legs and anything sharp.
• Wipe up gas, brake fluid or antifreeze spills promptly.

A good topcoat resists all of these, but grit is abrasive. Sand and salt ground in by tires every day will dull any finish over time. Regular sweeping and a spring rinse go a long way. We leave you a written care sheet with your floor.

Timing your project

If you want the garage ready before football season, book in late spring or summer. Warmer months give the most reliable curing conditions, and our schedule fills up as fall approaches.
