Epoxy Flooring in Pawnee, IL

Epoxy flooring in Pawnee often covers more than the house garage. The village has about 2,700 residents, sits three miles from I-55 and is surrounded by farmland. Many properties have a detached garage, pole building or shop in addition to the attached garage. The village also has rules on its website for golf carts and UTVs, and those vehicles have to live somewhere. We coat all of those floors.

Rooted in coal

Pawnee grew from 192 people in 1880 to 1,399 in 1910 during the coal era. Coal mining here had its costs. On October 13, 1902, an explosion at the Victor Mine killed six workers. The village's population later reached 2,577 in 1980 and 2,739 in 2010. That long history means Pawnee has homes and garages from many eras, from older houses in the original part of town to the two newer subdivisions the village highlights today.

Rebuilt and repaired after the 2023 storm

On August 6, 2023, a long-tracked EF2 tornado formed north of Pawnee. It ran about 25 miles east through Christian County, with a maximum width of 450 yards, damaging homes, barns, grain bins and outbuildings along the way. When a garage or outbuilding is rebuilt or repaired after a storm, the new or exposed concrete is a good time to coat. We need fresh concrete to cure before coating it. We test moisture before we schedule, so the floor goes down on a slab that is ready.

Matching the system to the building

| Space | What we usually suggest | |---|---| | Attached house garage | Epoxy flake floor or a polyaspartic system for a faster return to parking | | Golf cart or UTV bay | Flake floor with a textured topcoat to handle mud, grit and tire scuffs | | Farm shop or machine shed | Commercial and shop floor epoxy, a thicker build that resists fuel, oil and hydraulic fluid | | Basement | Basement floor epoxy over a moisture-tested slab | | Cracked or scaled slab | Concrete crack and floor repair before any coating |

Rural slabs bring their own problems

Outbuilding floors around Pawnee tend to see a different kind of wear than a town garage. Mud and field dust are ground into the surface by tires. Fertilizer and chemical spills can etch concrete. Water may sit along a wall where the floor was never pitched toward the door. We grind out contamination, fill cracks and pitted areas, and tell you plainly if a low spot needs leveling before a coating makes sense.

Getting a price

We come out, measure each building you want coated, check the slab and write one quote that lists each floor separately. That way you can do the house garage now and the shop later if you prefer. Call (217) 360-7450 to set up a visit.
