Indianapolis floors we work on most
Indianapolis gives us nearly every kind of floor in one city. Closer in, it's older houses with detached garages and basements that have seen a lot of use. Farther out, it's subdivisions with attached two- and three-car garages. In between there are shops, warehouses and storefronts that need a floor that can take traffic. Property managers call us about units between tenants, and small business owners call about a showroom or back room that's worn through.
We do the same work out in Fishers and Greenwood, but the mix here is wider, and that changes the job. An older garage slab usually carries oil, patches and an old sealer that has to come off, while a newer one may only need grinding, so the floor tells us how much prep comes before any coating goes down.
Floor services we offer in Indianapolis
Epoxy Floor Coatings
A tough, easy-to-clean coating for garages, basements and utility rooms, put down after we grind the slab so it bonds to clean concrete instead of old grime.
Commercial & Industrial Epoxy Floor Coatings
For Indianapolis shops, warehouses and storefronts where forklifts, carts and foot traffic wear a floor down, we lay a heavier system built for that use.
Garage Floor Coatings
What we're best known for here, from older detached garages with oil-soaked slabs to newer attached ones, finished with flakes that hide dirt and wipe clean.
Polyaspartic Floor Coatings
A faster-curing coating that resists yellowing, a good pick when you need your garage or shop floor back in use sooner and want a finish that holds its color.
Metallic Epoxy Flooring
A poured finish with depth and movement for finished basements, home bars and showrooms, where people notice the floor as much as they walk on it.
Urethane Cement Flooring
Built for commercial kitchens, food prep rooms and wash-down areas around Indianapolis, where hot water, cleaners and constant moisture break down a regular coating.
Polished Concrete Flooring
We grind and polish the slab itself for warehouses, offices and modern homes, so there's no coating to wear through and it's easy to keep clean.
Stained Concrete Flooring
Color soaked into the concrete for basements, patios and shop fronts, a good fit when you like the look of concrete but want it warmer than plain gray.
Terrazzo Flooring
A hard-wearing floor with stone or glass chips set in a binder and ground smooth, for lobbies, entryways and commercial spaces that see heavy foot traffic.
Basement Flooring
Indianapolis basements range from bare utility floors to rooms people actually live in, and we check the slab for moisture before we choose a system for it.
Concrete Grinding & Surface Preparation
The step most failed floors trace back to, so we grind off old sealer, glue and grime until a coating has clean concrete to bond to.
Concrete Sealing
A clear sealer for garage floors, patios and driveways that don't need a full coating, so oil and spills sit on top instead of soaking into the concrete.
Concrete Resurfacing & Overlays
When an older slab is pitted, patched or worn but still solid underneath, a new overlay gives you a fresh surface without tearing out the concrete.
Self-Leveling Concrete & Overlays
For uneven basement floors and older rooms with dips and humps, a self-leveling layer flattens the slab so tile, wood or a coating sits even.
Pool Deck Coatings & Resurfacing
For backyard pool decks that have gone rough, cracked or faded, we repair the concrete and coat it with a textured finish that's easier on bare feet.
Concrete Floor Stripping & Removal
When an old coating is peeling, or a previous owner left tile, carpet glue or paint on the slab, we strip it down to bare concrete first.

Permits, licensing and price on Indianapolis floor jobs
Permits and inspections in Indianapolis go through the city's Department of Business and Neighborhood Services, which issues structural permits for alterations to existing buildings unless the work is exempt. Whether a floor job needs one depends on the work and the building, so I don't guess. We check with the right office for your address before work starts, and if a permit is needed we pull it ourselves, so your start date waits on it rather than on you. The same department handles contractor licensing for the city, though not in Lawrence, Beech Grove, Speedway or Southport, so on jobs in Lawrence or Speedway we check with that city instead. We're licensed and fully insured, and you're welcome to check us out before you book.
Price comes down to the floor in front of us. Square footage, how much old coating, paint or glue has to come off, how many cracks and pits need filling and which system you pick all move the number. The schedule turns on that same prep, plus any permit and whether a basement slab needs moisture work first. The estimate I write up spells out what your floor needs, so you're not comparing guesses.
What wears down floors in Indianapolis homes and shops
A lot of the garage slabs we see here have years of oil drips, tire marks and a sealer from a previous owner that's flaking off. Put a coating over that and it lets go, usually right where you park, because the coating is stuck to the old film and not to the concrete. We grind those floors down to clean concrete, fill the cracks and pits, and only then put the system down.
Basements are the other big one, because a lot of owners use them as rec rooms and offices, and a bare slab can push moisture up through the floor. We test for it before picking a system, and if a slab isn't ready for a coating, I'll tell you that rather than sell you one.

Questions about hiring a flooring contractor in Indianapolis
How do I check if a flooring contractor is licensed in Indianapolis?
Start with the city, because Indianapolis requires anyone doing construction, driveway or excavation work to be a listed contractor, and its contractor licensing runs through the same department that issues permits. For a license the city's list doesn't carry, the city points you to the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency at 317.232.2980. Ask any contractor you're considering to show you proof of license and insurance before you sign.
How much does an epoxy garage floor cost in Indianapolis?
There's no honest number until I've seen the slab, because the price comes from the floor's size, its condition and the system you choose. A two-car garage with oil stains and a peeling old sealer takes more grinding and patching than a clean newer slab, and a metallic finish runs more than a flake coating. Call (317) 429-4446 and I'll come look and write it up.
What causes an epoxy garage floor to peel?
Most of the time it's the prep, not the product, because a coating rolled over dirty, sealed or smooth concrete has nothing to grip. Oil, an old sealer and moisture coming up through the slab are the usual culprits. That's why we grind down to clean concrete and check for moisture before anything goes down.
Does a flood zone in Indianapolis affect a basement or garage floor project?
It can, because the city requires a local floodplain development permit for all development within a special flood hazard area. If your property sits in one, we check with the city whether your floor work falls under that before we start. Drainage permits are a different matter and apply to much larger projects, such as ones disturbing an acre or more of ground.
Do I need historic approval to resurface a patio or pool deck in Indianapolis?
You might if you live in a historic district, because the city's permit checklist lists a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Indianapolis Historic Preservation Commission for exterior work there. Garage and basement floors are inside the house, but an outdoor patio or pool deck is exterior work, so check with the commission before we schedule it.
How do I know if my Indianapolis basement floor is ready for a coating?
You'll know once the slab is checked for moisture and for old paint, sealer or adhesive, because any of those can make a coating let go. I check for all of them when I come out. If the slab isn't ready, I'll tell you what it needs first, whether that's grinding, stripping or a different system.
Get your Indianapolis floor looked at first
