Lawrence Went From Farm Town to Subdivisions in Twenty Years

Lawrence homeowners ask us about epoxy flooring for two very different kinds of buildings. On one side are new homes with attached garages. On the other are farm sheds, pole barns and older outbuildings. The census tells the story. Wikipedia lists 1,548 residents in 2000, 4,284 in 2010 and 6,306 in 2020. The town roughly quadrupled in twenty years.

New subdivision garages

In 2000 the town had just 546 housing units. Most of the houses standing today were built after that. A newer garage slab is usually sound, but it brings its own prep issues:

A slick, hard-troweled surface that needs grinding before anything will stick.
Control joints that should be cleaned out and filled or honored in the coating.
Early shrinkage cracks that we fill before the base coat.

For these floors we often recommend full-flake epoxy or a polyaspartic system. Both stand up to road salt, tire marks and dropped tools. A full-flake floor also hides the white salt film between rinses.

Shops, sheds and work floors

The older side of Lawrence is agricultural. Shop slabs out here see tractors, trucks, hydraulic fluid and grease. Those floors need more than a garage kit. Our shop and commercial floor epoxy uses a thicker build and a chemical-resistant topcoat. We degrease and grind until we reach clean concrete. Deep oil stains sometimes need several rounds of cleaning, and we write that into the quote so there is no surprise.

Living near the river

The Fox River forms the town's southeast boundary, and water covers about 3.97% of its total area. Homes near water can have basement slabs that stay damp. Moisture coming up through the concrete is the main reason basement coatings bubble and peel. We take a reading on every basement before we quote. If it is high, we use a moisture-tolerant primer. If water is actually coming in through a crack, we tell you to fix that first, because no coating will hold back running water.

Choosing a finish

Garage floor epoxy: solid color with a clear topcoat, a clean and simple look.
Full-flake epoxy: our most popular garage choice for grip and hiding dirt.
Polyaspartic coating: faster return to service and a wider temperature window in spring and fall.
Basement floor epoxy: matched to the moisture reading, for laundry rooms and storage.
Metallic epoxy: a poured, swirled finish for a finished lower level.
Shop floor epoxy: heavier build for equipment and fluids.

Planning a garage and a basement together

Many Lawrence families coat the garage first and come back for the basement later. Doing both in one project can save a trip and lets us plan the work around your schedule. The garage usually goes first, since it needs the longest cure before you park on it. The basement can follow while the garage topcoat hardens. Each floor gets its own moisture test, because a garage slab and a basement slab in the same house can read very differently.

What drives the price

The main factors are square footage, how much crack and joint repair the slab needs, how much oil or old coating must come off, and which system you choose. We do not guess at a number over the phone. We measure first and put the full price in writing.

We are happy to price a garage and a shop on the same visit. Call (920) 717-3693 and tell us what you have.

Lawrence Facts That Shape the Job

Quadrupled in twenty years. Census counts rose from 1,548 in 2000 to 4,284 in 2010 and 6,306 in 2020, so most homes here have fairly new garage and basement slabs.
Only 546 homes in 2000. The 2000 census counted 546 housing units in the town. Today's subdivisions were built mostly after that, alongside older farm buildings.
On the Fox River. Lawrence lies on the west bank of the Fox River, which forms its southeast boundary. Water makes up about 3.97% of the town's 16.0 square miles.
Neighbors on every side. The town borders Hobart, Ashwaubenon, De Pere, the town of Wrightstown and the Outagamie County town of Kaukauna. The unincorporated community of Little Rapids is inside it.

Lawrence Questions

Can you coat a pole barn or machine shed floor in Lawrence?

If it has a concrete slab, usually yes. We grind and degrease it, repair cracks and apply a heavier shop system. Gravel or dirt floors cannot be coated. Very thin or broken slabs may need concrete work first, and we will tell you that up front.

My home is near the Fox River. Will a basement coating hold up?

It can, if we match the system to the moisture in the slab. We test on the visit. High readings call for a moisture-tolerant primer. Active leaks through cracks or walls need to be fixed before any coating goes down.

How long before I can park on a new Lawrence garage floor?

It depends on the system and the temperature. Polyaspartic systems usually return to service faster than standard epoxy. We give you exact walk-on and drive-on times in writing for your floor.
