Epoxy Flooring in Alpine Township, MI

Epoxy flooring in Alpine Township usually starts with a conversation about the concrete itself. Many garages here have years of oil stains, pitting and cracks, and a coating is only as good as the slab under it. Our approach is repair first, coat second, with a written quote that shows exactly what each part costs.

A township with a mix of owners and renters

Census estimates put Alpine Township's owner-occupied rate at 60.1%, so roughly four in ten homes are rented. The median owner-occupied value is $233,900, lower than many Kent County suburbs. That tells us two things: lots of landlords who want durable, easy-to-clean floors, and lots of owners who want real value for their money rather than the most expensive option on the menu.

What repair-first looks like

• Diamond grinding to remove old paint, sealer and surface contamination
• Filling cracks and spalled spots with a rigid repair material
• Grinding high spots flush where slabs have shifted
• Degreasing and treating heavy oil stains before coating
• Then a base coat, flake broadcast and protective topcoat

Choosing a system that fits the budget

Not every garage needs the same build. A garage floor coating with full flake broadcast is a popular option because it hides imperfections and lasts. For a rental or a utility garage, a partial flake broadcast with a durable topcoat can make sense. Polyaspartic floor coating costs more per square foot in some cases but returns the garage to service faster. We lay out the options side by side.

Comstock Park, Alpine and Englishville

The township covers about 36 square miles and includes Comstock Park in the southeast corner, which extends into Plainfield Township, the unincorporated community of Alpine along M-37, and Englishville along the border with Sparta Township. Organized in 1847 from the northern half of Walker Township and named for its pine trees, Alpine has housing from many eras, from older homes to newer builds.

Permits are simpler than you might think

Alpine Township's Building Department administers Michigan's construction codes, using the Michigan Residential Code for homes and accessory structures. According to the township, sidewalks and driveways typically do not need a permit, while sheds over 200 square feet do. Coating an existing garage floor is not structural work, but if you are adding a new garage or large outbuilding, the township's building official is the first call. The township also notes that contractors doing work over $600 must hold a Michigan state license.

Basements and shops too
