Shop & Commercial Floor Epoxy in Green Bay, WI

Shop and commercial floor epoxy is built thicker and tougher than a typical home system. Green Bay is a working city. Wikipedia lists paper making, meatpacking and shipping among its industries, and Schneider National, Georgia-Pacific and American Foods Group among its larger employers. Around those operations are a lot of smaller shops, warehouses, service bays and storage buildings with concrete floors that take a beating.

What a commercial floor faces

• Forklifts, pallet jacks and rolling carts
• Trucks and equipment bringing in slush and salt for months
• Oil, hydraulic fluid, coolant and cleaners
• Dropped tools and dragged pallets
• Floor scrubbers and frequent washing

A thin, paint-grade coating wears through quickly under that. HomeAdvisor adds 20% to 30% to the cost for high-traffic, commercial-grade coatings for this reason. We size the thickness and topcoat to the traffic.

Systems we use

• 100% solids epoxy builds: thick base and body coats that resist impact and abrasion.
• Broadcast quartz or flake: sand or chips broadcast into the base for texture and extra wear depth.
• Chemical-resistant topcoats: urethane or polyaspartic for fluids, cleaners and UV at open bay doors.
• Safety striping and zones: colored walkways, parking lines and work areas coated into the floor.
• Coved edges where needed: coating carried up the wall base for easier washdown.

Downtime and scheduling

Businesses cannot shut down for a week. We plan the work in sections, on weekends or over planned shutdowns, and use faster-curing products where downtime is tight. Polyaspartic topcoats can take traffic within about a day, according to Bob Vila's guide. In winter, we need heat in the building for epoxy to cure, so we confirm slab temperature before scheduling.

Prep for working floors

Shop floors often carry years of oil, old paint, curing compounds or a failed coating. We remove all of it by diamond grinding or shot blasting, degrease contaminated areas and repair cracks, joints and spalls. Joints that move get treated so the coating does not crack along them.

Floors we coat

• Auto, truck and equipment repair shops
• Warehouse and distribution floors
• Pole buildings and contractor shops
• Retail, office and fitness floors
• Breakrooms, restrooms and corridors

Winter at the bay door

Trucks and equipment bring in snow, slush and salt for months in Green Bay. Water pools by the doors and drains. We often add more broadcast texture in those zones, slope-friendly finishes near trench drains, and a topcoat chosen to resist salt brine and the cleaners used to wash it away.

Food plants and other specialized facilities often have specific coating rules. Tell us about the space and we will say plainly whether it is a fit for what we install.
