Boise's Epoxy Flooring Crew

Epoxy flooring in Boise typically costs between $3 and $12 per square foot installed, depending on the coating system and the condition of your concrete. A standard single-car garage runs $700 to $1,800, while a flake or metallic system in a double garage can run $2,000 to $4,000. We provide free on-site estimates so you get an exact number before any work begins.

A properly installed epoxy floor in Boise will last 10 to 20 years with basic maintenance. Idaho's temperature swings can stress cheaper DIY kits, but professional-grade epoxy applied over properly prepared concrete holds up well year-round. We back our work with a 5-year warranty.

For a garage floor you do not need to leave -- just clear the space of vehicles and stored items. There is some odor during application, so we recommend ventilating attached garages. Basement or interior installs may require you to avoid the area for 24 hours while the coating cures.

For most Boise homeowners, a 100% solids flake or chip system is the best balance of durability, appearance, and cost. If you want a high-end showroom look, metallic epoxy is stunning and extremely hard. For fast return-to-service, polyaspartic topcoats are ideal because they cure in hours rather than days.

Most single or double garage floor epoxy projects are completed in one to two days. Day one covers concrete prep and the base coat; day two is the topcoat and broadcast flakes. You can typically park on the floor 72 hours after the final coat, though light foot traffic is fine in 24 hours.

Epoxy requires concrete temperatures above 50 degrees Fahrenheit to cure properly, which can be a challenge during Boise winters. We work around cold-weather installs by using portable heaters or scheduling during warmer stretches. Call us and we will advise the best timing for your project.

Epoxy is a two-part resin system known for thick, hard coatings with excellent chemical resistance -- it is the most popular choice for garage floors. Polyaspartic is a newer aliphatic coating that cures much faster, resists UV yellowing better, and can be applied in a wider temperature range. Many of our installations use epoxy as the base and polyaspartic as the topcoat for the best of both systems.

Plain epoxy can be slippery when wet, which is why we always add a non-slip aggregate or broadcast vinyl flakes into the topcoat. The textured surface dramatically improves traction -- it is one of the reasons broadcast flake systems are so popular in garages and commercial kitchens across Boise.

Epoxy floors are very low maintenance -- sweep or vacuum regularly and mop with a mild cleaner when needed. Avoid harsh acids, which can dull the finish over time. Placing a mat under vehicles that drip oil or coolant will extend the life of the surface, and touching up small chips promptly prevents moisture from getting beneath the coating.

Yes -- epoxy can be applied over old concrete as long as the slab is structurally sound and properly prepared. We grind or shot-blast the surface to open the pores, repair cracks and spalls, and then apply a penetrating primer before the coating. Old oil stains sometimes require additional degreasing or a stain-block primer.

Yes, we regularly install garage floor epoxy and commercial epoxy in Meridian. It is one of our most active service areas given all the new construction and home upgrades happening there. Contact us for a free on-site estimate anywhere in Meridian.

Absolutely -- Nampa is fully within our service area. Whether you have a residential garage, a commercial warehouse, or a basement slab in Nampa, we can get you scheduled quickly. Call or fill out our estimate form and we will come out for a free look.

We carry a wide range of solid base coat colors and dozens of vinyl flake blends, from neutral greys and tans to bold blues and custom mixes. Metallic epoxy opens up even more possibilities with swirled, marbled, or 3D-effect finishes. We bring samples to every estimate so you can see the options in your actual space.

Yes -- basement epoxy is one of our most popular services. A coated basement slab resists moisture vapor better than bare concrete, is easy to clean, and dramatically brightens the space. We test for moisture intrusion before install to ensure proper adhesion and long-term performance.

A standard professional epoxy system including primer, body coat, and topcoat is typically 10 to 20 mils thick -- roughly the thickness of a few sheets of paper. High-build or self-leveling industrial systems can be 40 to 125 mils. The coating adds minimal height and does not interfere with door clearances.

Epoxy itself does not crack under normal conditions, but it can reflect cracks that form in the underlying concrete slab. We repair existing cracks and control joints before coating to minimize this risk. A flexible polyaspartic topcoat also helps bridge minor movement in the substrate.

Proper surface prep is the most important factor in a lasting epoxy floor. We use diamond grinding or shot blasting to mechanically open the concrete surface, which allows the epoxy to penetrate and bond rather than just sitting on top. All cracks, pits, and spalls are filled, and the surface must be clean and dry before any coating is applied.

Most standard epoxy systems reach full vehicle load-bearing strength 72 hours after the final topcoat. Polyaspartic topcoats can be driven on in as little as 24 hours. We will give you exact return-to-service times based on the system used and ambient temperatures during your install.

Yes -- all of our epoxy flooring installations come with a 5-year warranty covering adhesion failure, peeling, and delamination under normal use conditions. The warranty does not cover damage from sharp impacts, chemical spills, or concrete movement. We stand behind our work and will make it right if something goes wrong.

Metallic epoxy uses metallic powder pigments suspended in a clear epoxy base to create flowing, three-dimensional visual effects that look like marble, lava, or liquid metal. No two floors are exactly alike because the pigments shift as the epoxy is applied and cures. It is especially popular in showrooms, man caves, and high-end basements in the Boise area.

Yes -- small chips and gouges in epoxy floors can be patched using a compatible epoxy filler and topcoat. The repair is most seamless on solid-color systems; flake systems can be blended to a very close match. We recommend addressing chips promptly so moisture does not get underneath and cause the surrounding coating to lift.

Epoxy is an excellent choice for commercial kitchens because it is seamless, non-porous, easy to sanitize, and resistant to grease, oils, and most food-safe chemicals. We install coved base edges and add non-slip aggregate to meet health department traction requirements. Polyurea or urethane topcoats are often used in commercial kitchens for extra chemical and thermal resistance.

Epoxy wins on durability and ease of cleaning because it is a seamless surface with no grout lines to trap oil and grime. Interlocking garage tiles are faster to install and easier to replace section by section, but they can shift over time and moisture can collect underneath. For a permanent, professional finish that is easier to maintain, epoxy is the better long-term investment for most Boise homeowners.

We serve the entire Treasure Valley including Boise, Meridian, Nampa, Eagle, Kuna, Garden City, Star, and Caldwell. If you are just outside these areas, give us a call -- we may still be able to accommodate your project depending on scope.
