Commercial floors - Kenosha, Racine & Lake County
Commercial Epoxy Flooring for Shops, Warehouses & Showrooms
The commercial epoxy look, installed with a tougher system: a polyurea base and a UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat that goes down in one day and takes traffic the next. Flat $8/sq ft all-inclusive pricing, larger scopes quoted up front after a walkthrough.
Commercial epoxy flooring is what most shop, warehouse, and showroom owners search for - and what we install is the upgraded version of it. Everclad coats commercial concrete with a polyurea base and a polyaspartic topcoat: the same bright, cleanable, flake-broadcast floor people call epoxy, in a chemistry that cures in hours instead of days and does not yellow or hot-tire peel. For a business, that difference is measured in downtime. We install in one day, your crew walks on it that evening, and wheeled traffic is back on it within about 24 to 48 hours.
What we install on commercial floors
We install one system, and we are straightforward about what it is. Traditional epoxy earned its place as the default commercial floor coating, but it cures slowly, ambers in UV light, and gets brittle under wheel traffic. Our system replaces it layer for layer: a diamond grind to open the slab, crack and spall repair, a flexible polyurea base coat, a full decorative flake broadcast, and a clear polyaspartic topcoat. The result reads as a commercial epoxy floor to everyone who walks on it - it just behaves better.
If you want the chemistry in plain terms, our guide to polyaspartic vs epoxy covers the comparison, and the polyaspartic floor coating page covers the system itself in depth.
Why polyaspartic beats epoxy on downtime
Downtime is the real cost of a commercial floor coating, and it is where polyaspartic wins outright. A traditional epoxy install needs multiple coats with long recoat windows, then several days of cure before you can roll equipment on it - a week of lost floor for many shops. Polyaspartic cures fast enough that we grind, repair, base-coat, flake, and topcoat in a single working day. Foot traffic the same evening. Shelving, carts, and vehicles typically the next day.
Fast cure also means winter installs. Polyaspartic sets in cold conditions that stop epoxy entirely, so a January slow week is a perfectly good time to redo the floor - useful in a climate where the slab spends five months being fed road salt.
It also means we can schedule around your operation instead of the other way round. A Saturday install has the floor ready for Monday morning. On floors too large or too busy to clear at once, we can phase the work bay by bay so part of the space stays in service while the rest is coated. We plan that split with you during the walkthrough.
What does the floor stand up to?
Shop-floor abuse, which is the point. The polyurea base keeps a slight flex, so forklift and pallet-jack wheels, dropped tools, and rolling toolboxes do not chip it the way they crack a rigid epoxy film. The polyaspartic topcoat resists hot-tire pickup, motor oil, brake fluid, coolant, degreasers, and the salt brine that vehicles drag in off I-94 all winter. Spills sit on the surface and wipe off instead of soaking into bare concrete.
Traction matters as much as toughness in a workplace. The flake broadcast leaves a lightly textured finish, and where a floor gets wet - entries, wash bays, kitchens - we add anti-slip aggregate to the topcoat. Slips and falls on walking-working surfaces are a core focus of OSHA's walking-working surfaces rules, and a uniform, textured, easy-to-clean floor is one of the simpler ways to take that risk down.
What commercial spaces do we coat?
Shops and light-industrial floors are the core of it:
- Auto shops and detail bays - hot tires, oil, and constant wheel traffic.
- Warehouses and small distribution space - a brighter, dust-free surface that is easier on inventory and sweepers.
- Showrooms and retail back-of-house - the clean flake finish customers can see.
- Restaurant back-of-house and prep areas - washable, textured, no grout lines to trap grime.
- Light manufacturing and trade shops - workbench zones, assembly areas, tool rooms.
We serve the whole corridor from the north Chicago suburbs to south Milwaukee: Kenosha, Pleasant Prairie, Somers, Racine, Mount Pleasant, Gurnee, Lake County, North Shore, South Milwaukee. We are based in Kenosha, where we also run our residential work - see garage floor coating in Kenosha - and the same system goes down on basement floors and concrete patios.
How much does commercial epoxy flooring cost?
Our standard rate is $8 per square foot, all-inclusive - the grind, repairs, base coat, flake, and topcoat are all in the number. That is the same honest flat rate we publish for residential work:
| Project size | Typical sq ft | All-inclusive price |
|---|---|---|
| 1-car garage / small bay | 250-350 | around $2,000 |
| 2-car garage / small shop | 400-600 | around $3,200 |
| 3-car garage / large bay | 600-800 | around $4,800 |
| Larger commercial floors | 800+ | custom per-sq-ft quote after a walkthrough |
Larger commercial scopes are quoted per square foot up front after a walkthrough, because slab condition, repairs, and scheduling around your operation drive the price more than raw footage does. You get one written number before we start, and that number does not move. For a deeper look at choosing a shop floor system, see our guide to commercial shop floor coatings, then request your quote and we will schedule the walkthrough.

Commercial epoxy flooring FAQs
How much does commercial epoxy flooring cost?
Our standard rate is $8 per square foot, all-inclusive - grind, repairs, polyurea base, flake, and polyaspartic topcoat. Larger commercial scopes are quoted per square foot up front after a walkthrough, so the number you get is the number you pay. No hidden mobilization or prep fees.
How long will my shop be out of service?
One day for the install on most commercial floors. The coating takes foot traffic the same evening, and wheeled and vehicle traffic is usually fine within 24 to 48 hours. For most shops that means closing for one business day, not a week.
Will the floor hold up to forklift and pallet-jack traffic?
Yes, for shop and light-industrial duty. The polyurea base stays slightly flexible, so it absorbs the point loads and turning wheels that chip brittle epoxy. If your operation runs heavy steel-wheeled equipment or extreme point loads, we will tell you during the walkthrough whether a coating is the right call for that zone.
Is the floor slippery when wet?
The full flake broadcast leaves a lightly textured surface with more grip than smooth sealed concrete. Where you need more traction - wash bays, entries, wet process areas - we can add an anti-slip aggregate to the topcoat. We will match the texture to how each area is used.
What chemicals can it handle?
Motor oil, brake fluid, gasoline, coolant, road-salt brine, and common shop cleaners and degreasers all wipe off a polyaspartic topcoat without staining or softening it. Wipe up harsh solvent spills promptly rather than letting them pool, same as any coated floor.
Why not just seal the bare concrete?
Sealers are thin films that wear off in traffic lanes within a year or two, and bare concrete keeps dusting and drinking up salt and oil. A ground-in coating is many times thicker, bonds mechanically to the slab, and gives you a cleanable, bright, uniform surface. Over a few resealing cycles the coating is usually the cheaper floor.
Can you install in a Wisconsin winter?
Yes. Polyaspartic cures across a wide temperature range, including cold conditions where traditional epoxy will not set. Winter is often the easiest time for a shop to give up a day, and we install year-round across the Kenosha-Racine-Lake County corridor.
How do I maintain a coated commercial floor?
Dust-mop or sweep for daily grit, and wash with a neutral cleaner and an auto-scrubber or mop as needed. No waxing, no resealing schedule. In winter, rinse off salt slush in entries occasionally so it does not build a haze on the surface.
