#1 Epoxy Flooring in Takoma Park, Maryland
Historic homes, compact garages, and creek side basements ask a lot of bare concrete in Takoma Park. We grind, repair, and moisture test every slab, then build epoxy systems matched to the home, the shop, and the season.
Takoma Park Epoxy Flooring Company installs epoxy flooring, epoxy countertops, and commercial and industrial epoxy flooring in Takoma Park, Maryland, as a licensed and bonded company with 30 years combined experience, veteran friendly service, financing available, and MHIC 155221.
We serve a city of about seventeen thousand neighbors in just over two square miles, from the grand old homes of Old Takoma to the apartment blocks along Maple Avenue and the shops at Takoma Junction. Takoma Park was founded in 1883 by Benjamin Franklin Gilbert as one of the first planned Victorian commuter suburbs, built around the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad station, and that layout still shapes how homes and garages sit on their lots today.
Locals call Takoma Park Azalea City for the Glen Dale azaleas that bloom across town each spring, and the city is a Tree City USA community whose mature hardwood canopy is protected by ordinance. Sligo Creek cuts through the city along Sligo Creek Park, the hills sit on the edge of the fall line, and humid summers, cold winters, road salt, and shade that slows drying all press on bare concrete. We grind, repair, and moisture test every slab before we coat it, because a floor here has to be planned for the ground and weather it actually lives with.
Takoma Park housing stock tells the city story in concrete. The Takoma Park Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976, holds Queen Anne homes built from 1883 onward, and later streets added Craftsman bungalows, Colonial Revival homes, Cape Cod homes, and mid century ranches and split level homes in Pinecrest, Sligo Park Hills, and Hillwood Manor. Most of those homes sit on a garage or basement slab that predates modern vapor barriers, so we match each system to the age and condition of the concrete in front of us.
The garage is where most of our Takoma Park work begins. Drivers coming home along Eastern Avenue, New Hampshire Avenue, and Carroll Avenue track in road salt and grit all winter, oil drips mark the parking spots, and hot tires in summer test any coating that was rolled on without grinding.
We diamond grind the slab, repair cracks, test moisture, and then build a high build epoxy base with a durable topcoat for daily driving. The finished floor resists salt, oil, and hot tire pickup, and it sweeps and mops clean in minutes, which matters in the compact one car and two car garages behind so many historic homes here.
Many Takoma Park basements still serve as storage by default, with cold concrete underfoot, dust on every box, and a damp feel after heavy rain near Sligo Creek and Long Branch. Epoxy seals that slab and turns the space into a finished rec room, home office, gym, studio, or guest area.
Because so many local slabs went down long before vapor barriers were standard, we test moisture at several points on every basement floor. Where readings run high, we start with a moisture mitigation primer so the system above it stays bonded, and we explain those readings to the homeowner in plain language before any coating is sold.
Metallic epoxy is the design forward choice in our residential lineup, built by blending metallic pigments into a clear epoxy binder so the cured floor moves with depth and light like polished stone. No two metallic floors cure alike, because the pigments shift as the coating is worked across the slab.
Takoma Park homeowners choose metallic systems for finished basements, rec rooms, music rooms, and entertainment spaces. We finish each design with a gloss or satin topcoat that protects the pattern layer from daily wear while keeping the movement in the floor easy to see.
Decorative flake flooring broadcasts vinyl color chips across a wet epoxy base and seals them under a clear topcoat, giving the floor a speckled stone look with real texture underfoot. That texture helps with grip on wet days, and the chip pattern hides dust, salt residue, and minor slab flaws between cleanings.
Flake is the finish we install most often in Takoma Park garages and basements because it forgives daily life so well. Homeowners pick blends from quiet grays to warmer mixes with tan or blue, and we bring samples so the blend can be judged in the light of the actual space.
Epoxy countertops pour over sound existing counters or new substrate and cure into a seamless surface with the depth and veining of stone, without demolition and without the weight of a full slab replacement. Each pour is worked by hand, so colors and movement are custom to the kitchen or bar we are coating.
Homeowners here use epoxy counters to refresh galley kitchens in Craftsman bungalows, basement bars, and studio counters. A food safe topcoat seals the surface for daily cooking, and the seamless finish means crumbs and spills wipe up without grout lines to scrub.
Quartz epoxy flooring broadcasts colored quartz granules into the epoxy in two layers, building a thick and heavily textured surface that stands among the toughest finishes we install. The granule texture gives natural grip even when the floor is wet, which is why quartz earns its place where water shows up daily.
In Takoma Park homes we spec quartz for laundry rooms, mudrooms, entries off the garage, and basement utility areas, and it also serves porches where rain and snow melt reach the concrete.
Some slabs need to be rebuilt before any coating makes sense. Our resurfacing work grinds away failed coatings and damaged surface concrete, fills cracks and spalls, and lays a fresh level surface where settling, salt damage, and freeze thaw cycles have pitted the original slab.
This step decides the fate of many older Takoma Park floors, where a century of settling can leave cracks that would print through a new coating. We chase and fill cracks with flexible repair materials, honor moving joints, and tell the owner plainly when repair is enough and when a fuller rebuild is the honest spend.
Commercial floors in Takoma Park work in public view, from the independent shops and eateries of Old Takoma and Takoma Junction to the busy corridors along Flower Avenue and New Hampshire Avenue. Those spaces take foot traffic, rolling loads, spills, and nightly cleaning, and we schedule phased or after hours work when a business cannot close.
Warehouse and storage floors need to carry forklifts, pallet jacks, and heavy point loads while staying easy to sweep. We pair deep grinding and repair with a high build epoxy system and a hard wearing topcoat, and we can add durable line striping and safety walkways.
A sealed warehouse floor also cuts the concrete dust that settles on stored goods and equipment. For storage spaces around Takoma Park and Langley Park, that cleaner surface lowers cleanup effort and presents a more professional space.
Commercial kitchens need a floor that is seamless, textured for grip when wet, and able to handle grease, hot water, and nightly mopping without breaking down. We build kitchen systems with quartz or flake texture and cove base at the walls, so wash water and spills never reach the wall line and no grout lines remain to hold bacteria.
We phase kitchen work in sections or during closed hours so Takoma Park restaurants, cafes, and food service spaces can keep serving. Owners get a floor their crews can mop thoroughly each night.
Industrial and light manufacturing floors face oils, solvents, equipment vibration, and thermal swings that punish thin coatings. We match the resin build to the exposure in each bay, from standard industrial epoxy to heavier builds with reinforced topcoats, and every project starts with a site visit so the system fits the loads on site.
Cove base, careful joint work, and honest moisture testing keep wash water and spills from undermining the system at its edges. For work spaces near Flower Avenue and Langley Park, that planning keeps a plant floor in service instead of peeling bay by bay.
Retail and showroom floors sell the room before a customer reaches the counter. Metallic, decorative flake, and polished look epoxy systems give storefronts a bright and reflective finish that still holds up under daily public traffic, carts, and constant cleaning at closing time.
Old Takoma retailers and service showrooms choose these systems because they read as high end and clean fast. We help owners pick gloss levels and flake blends under their own store lighting.
In March 2026 we completed a full flake garage floor in Pinecrest for $4,350. The scope covered diamond grinding, repair of two settled cracks, moisture testing, a high build epoxy base, a full flake broadcast, and a clear protective topcoat. From the homeowner perspective, the garage finally matched the care put into the rest of the house, and winter salt now rinses off a sealed floor.
In November 2025 we installed a metallic basement floor in the Historic District for $6,900. The scope covered grinding, crack repair, a moisture mitigation primer on an older slab, a pigmented base, a hand worked metallic design layer, and a satin topcoat. From the homeowner perspective, a dark storage basement became a bright music and reading room.
In June 2025 we coated a commercial kitchen floor at Takoma Junction for $11,200. The scope covered degreasing, grinding, joint repair, a textured quartz epoxy build, and cove base along every wall, completed in sections during closed hours. From the owner perspective, the kitchen gained a seamless floor the crew could mop fully each night.
We earn the word best the slow way, by preparing every slab honestly and standing behind the work after the topcoat cures. We are licensed and bonded, we bring 30 years combined experience to residential and commercial floors across Takoma Park, we are veteran friendly, and with financing available and MHIC 155221 on our work, owners can plan a project with a contractor whose credentials are on the table from the first visit.
Our process starts with a site visit where we measure the space, inspect the slab, note existing coatings, map cracks and joints, and take moisture readings at several points. We then provide a written quote that names the system, the scope, the materials, and the schedule before any work begins.
On work days we protect the rooms around the project, grind the concrete with dust control equipment, complete repairs, and build the system in sequence with primer, base coat, decorative or functional layer, and topcoat. We finish with a walkthrough that covers cure times and care.
We install professional grade systems built around high solids epoxy resins that keep their thickness as they cure, rather than thin store bought kits that shrink as they dry. A typical build pairs a penetrating primer for bond with a high build base for body and color, then the flake, metallic, quartz, or solid layer the space calls for.
Topcoats are chosen for the wear each floor will see, including polyaspartic and polyurethane options where sunlight, abrasion, or a faster return to service matters. Because we are veteran friendly and financing available can spread a larger project across time, owners can choose the material build their slab actually needs.
Most residential garage and basement projects take two to three days of on site work, with preparation and repairs first, coating days next, and cure time before vehicles and heavy items return. Larger homes, multi room projects, and commercial floors take longer, and commercial work is phased by area so spaces stay open where possible.
We give every customer a written timeline with the quote, including when the floor can be walked on and when full use can resume. If prep uncovers hidden moisture or damage, we stop, show the owner what we found, and agree on the next step before we proceed.
Cost follows square footage, slab condition, preparation needs, and the system selected. The ranges below reflect the professional systems we install, and the written quote after a site visit is the number that applies to a specific floor.
Solid color epoxy runs $4 to $7 per square foot installed, full flake runs $5 to $9 per square foot installed, and metallic runs $8 to $14 per square foot installed. Moisture mitigation, crack repair, and topcoat choice can move a project within those ranges, which is why we measure and test before we quote.
Two car garages typically run $2,800 to $5,500, and three car garages typically run $4,500 to $8,500. A clean and sound slab keeps a garage closer to the lower end, while oil contamination, a failed prior coating, or heavy crack repair adds preparation time and cost.
Basement epoxy floors typically run $3,000 to $7,500. Metallic designs for finished living space sit higher in that range, solid color and flake builds for utility and storage areas sit lower, and moisture mitigation on older slabs without vapor barriers is the most common added scope.
Commercial epoxy floors typically run $6 to $12 per square foot installed. Kitchens, industrial bays, and other spaces that need quartz texture, cove base, reinforced topcoats, or phased night work price toward the upper end, while open warehouse floors with easy access price toward the lower end.

Per square foot pricing in Takoma Park breaks down by system. Solid color installs at $4 to $7 per square foot, full flake at $5 to $9, and metallic at $8 to $14. A typical two car garage lands between $2,800 to $5,500, and commercial work generally prices at $6 to $12 per square foot. Every quote is written after we see the slab in person, since prep work and concrete condition move the final number inside each range.
Most Takoma Park garage and basement projects take two to three days of on site work plus cure time before vehicles return. Preparation and repairs come first, coating follows in sequence, and older slabs with heavy cracking or high moisture can add a day. We put the full schedule in writing with your quote.
A professionally prepared multi layer epoxy system is built for many years of service, and its lifespan depends on preparation quality, material thickness, and daily use. Floors that were ground, repaired, and moisture tested hold their bond far longer than thin coatings rolled over dirty concrete.
A smooth floor can feel slick when wet, and we plan grip into the system from the start. Flake and quartz broadcasts add texture underfoot, and grip additives can be blended into the topcoat for garages, entries, kitchens, and porch floors. We match the texture level to how each space is actually used.
Yes, in most cases, and older concrete is exactly what we see most in Takoma Park. We grind the surface, chase and fill cracks, repair spalls, and test moisture before coating, and we add a mitigation primer where readings require it. If a slab shows structural movement beyond cosmetic repair, we will flag it honestly before any coating is sold.
Day to day care takes almost no effort. A regular sweep or dust mopping keeps grit from scratching the surface, and a mop with mild cleaner and water handles deeper dirt. Wipe oil, chemical spills, and winter road salt off the floor soon after they land, and skip harsh solvents and scouring pads. Treated that way, the finish holds its shine for years with minimal work.
