Epoxy Flooring in Sterling, OK

Epoxy flooring in Sterling usually means one garage at a time. Sterling is a town of 668 people at the 2020 Census, packed into about 0.8 square miles where State Highway 17 crosses the northern end of State Highway 65. That makes it an easy drive from Lawton for our crew. It also means most of the concrete we see here belongs to houses, with a few shop buildings and outbuildings mixed in.

Owners and landlords both call

The 2020 Census counted 335 housing units in Sterling, and 11.9% of them were empty. The split matters. The homeowner vacancy rate was only 2.1%, while the rental vacancy rate was 12.0%. Owned houses rarely sit empty here. Rentals turn over and sit longer. A landlord getting a house ready for the next tenant has a different goal than a family that plans to stay.

For a rental, we usually suggest a plain flake system in a mid-tone color. It hides dirt between move-outs and cleans up with a broom and a mop. For an owner who will be in the house for years, it makes sense to spend more on prep and a polyaspartic topcoat that holds its look longer in a garage with the door open.

What a Sterling garage tends to need

We start every job by walking the slab. In small towns around Lawton we often find:

• Old latex or oil paint that is peeling in the tire paths
• Hairline cracks that run from the corners of the door opening
• Oil and transmission fluid soaked into the spot where a truck parks
• A rough or pitted area near the door where water collects

Each one gets handled before coating. Paint is ground off. Cracks are cleaned out and filled. Oil spots are degreased and ground until the concrete underneath is sound. If a section has sunk or the slab is broken, our Concrete Crack & Floor Repair work comes first, and we tell you that up front.

Planning the job around your house

A Sterling garage is often the main storage space on the lot. Before the work day, we agree on what comes out and where it goes. Most garages take one to two days of work plus cure time. We give you written times for walking on the floor, moving shelves back and parking. If you are a landlord, we can schedule between tenants so the garage is ready on move-in day.

Town utilities and water use

Sterling's public works authority handles water, sewer and sanitation for the town. Our prep relies on dust-collecting grinders, so we do not wash the slab with large volumes of water. We do need a normal outlet and, on some jobs, a hose bib for cleanup. We will ask about both when we schedule.

Porches and back patios

Small-town houses often have a front porch slab and a back patio that have weathered for years. A textured outdoor coating adds grip and freshens the look. We use lighter colors outside so the surface stays cooler in summer sun.
