Epoxy Flooring in Walters, OK

Epoxy flooring in Walters covers two kinds of work for us: garages in a town where most people own their homes, and floors in the businesses that keep a county seat running. Walters had 2,412 residents at the 2020 Census. Of its occupied homes, 66.9% were owner-occupied. The city has been the seat of Cotton County since December 2, 1912, when it beat Temple in the county seat election by 282 votes.

Wet springs, dry summers

Walters sits between two tributaries of the Red River, the East and West Cache Creeks. Wikipedia describes rains in spring that are almost monsoon-like, with periods of drought at other times of year. Weather data cited for the city shows May and June each averaging close to 5 inches of rain, about 34.4 inches over a full year.

That wet-then-dry cycle is hard on concrete. Soil around a slab swells after heavy rain and shrinks in a dry spell. Over time that can crack a garage floor or lift a joint. On a Walters job, we look closely at:

• Cracks that are wider at one end, which can mean movement
• Joints that have lifted or dropped
• Damp spots or white residue that point to moisture coming up through the slab

We test for moisture before coating. A slab that is pushing moisture needs a different primer, and we price that in.

Home garages

With two-thirds of homes owner-occupied, a lot of our Walters calls are long-term owners improving a house they plan to keep. A Garage Floor Coating with flake and a polyaspartic topcoat is the most common choice. Owners who want a more custom look sometimes pick a two-tone flake blend. For back patios and pool areas, Patio & Pool Deck Coatings add texture and help hide the fading that comes from years of sun.

Downtown businesses and shops

As the county seat, Walters holds the Cotton County Courthouse, a Classical Revival building from 1925, along with offices, stores and service shops that serve the whole county. For business owners, we install Commercial & Shop Floor Epoxy in back rooms, service bays and storage areas. Commercial jobs can be scheduled in sections or over a weekend so a business can stay open. We go over cure times in writing so you know when foot traffic and carts can return.

Repair before finish

Any floor in Walters that shows movement gets Concrete Crack & Floor Repair first. We fill cracks with a material made for concrete and treat moving joints so the coating does not split across them. If the slab has heaved enough that a coating will not fix the problem, we tell you so.

What a written quote includes

Every Walters quote lists the prep, crack and joint repair, moisture treatment if needed, each coat and the total. If we find something new once the floor is ground open, we write up the change and wait for your approval before doing that work.

Rentals in town

About a third of occupied homes in Walters are rented. Landlords tend to pick a medium flake color that hides wear between tenants. We can schedule the work in the gap between leases and give you a written scope and cure times to keep with your property records.
