Epoxy Flooring in Caledonia, MI

Epoxy flooring in Caledonia covers two kinds of homes: houses inside the 1.42-square-mile village, and the newer subdivisions spread across Caledonia Township around it. Both share the same need. Basements and garages here see damp springs, long winters and a lot of use, and bare concrete does not hold up well to any of it.

Start with the basement

In Caledonia, the basement is often the place to start. A coated basement floor is easier to clean, brighter under lights and less likely to hold musty dust than painted or bare concrete. Before we quote a basement, we check the slab for moisture coming up from below, because a coating applied over a wet slab can lose its bond. When moisture is present, we talk through a moisture-tolerant primer before any color goes down.

Basement uses we coat for

• Home gyms where dropped weights and sweat hit the floor
• Laundry and utility rooms near the water heater and sump
• Kids' play spaces and craft rooms
• Storage areas where boxes sit directly on the slab
• Finished rec rooms where a metallic epoxy floor replaces carpet

Permits and your project

The Village of Caledonia contracts permitting and inspections to Imperial Municipal Services, and the village states plainly that no work should start without a permit. Finished basements appear on the village's list of projects that typically need a building permit. A coating on an existing slab is usually a surface finish, but if your floor is part of a larger basement finish with framing, electrical or plumbing, check with IMS at (616) 863-9294 first. We can give you a written scope to include with any application.

Glen Valley homeowners

Inside the village, Glen Valley projects such as exterior changes need approval from the Glen Valley Architectural Control Committee before a permit is issued. Interior floor coatings rarely fall under exterior review, but if your project also touches the driveway apron or the outside of the garage, a quick check with the association before we schedule avoids delays.

Garages along M-37 and beyond

Caledonia sits about 15 miles southeast of downtown Grand Rapids, and M-37 runs along the village's eastern edge. Commuting on salted highways all winter means a lot of brine dripping off vehicles onto garage floors. Our garage floor coating systems use a full flake broadcast and a polyaspartic or urethane topcoat so the salt stays on the surface and rinses away.

A township that keeps growing

Caledonia Township grew from 8,964 residents in 2000 to 15,811 in 2020. Many of those homes have garages and basements poured in the last two decades. Even younger slabs can have shrinkage cracks, sealer residue from the builder or efflorescence on basement walls and floors. We diamond-grind every floor so the coating bonds to clean concrete, and repair cracks before coating.
