Epoxy Flooring in Cascade Township, MI

If you are researching epoxy flooring in Cascade Township, the questions usually come down to two rooms: the garage that takes a beating every winter and the basement below grade. The Thornapple River divides the township into east and west halves, and Gerald R. Ford International Airport covers 4.89 square miles of the southwestern part of the township. Between them are about 19,667 residents and a housing stock where 90.7% of homes are owner-occupied, per the Census. We focus on garages first, but basements here deserve real attention.

Start with the slab, not the color

Before anyone talks about flake blends, we look at the concrete. A Cascade basement near the river, or any below-grade slab, can carry moisture up from underneath. Coating over a damp slab is how floors lift and bubble. So every basement estimate includes a moisture check. If readings are high, we discuss a moisture-tolerant primer or tell you plainly that the slab should be addressed first.

Garages that see road salt and slush

Grand Rapids area weather averages more than 75 inches of snow a year, and nights drop below freezing about 138 times a year. Every trip down 28th Street or Cascade Road in January brings salt brine into the garage. Bare concrete absorbs it, and over years the surface can scale and pit. A ground, primed and sealed floor keeps that brine on top, where a squeegee can push it out the door.

• Garage floor coating with full-broadcast flake for grip and easy cleanup
• Polyaspartic floor coating topcoats that cure quickly and resist hot-tire marks
• Epoxy flake floors in color blends that hide salt residue between washes
• Basement floor epoxy after moisture testing

Shops, hangars and businesses

With the airport in the township and plenty of detached garages and pole barns on larger lots, we also coat working floors. Our commercial and shop floor epoxy goes thicker and can include a texture additive for slip resistance where oil and water are common. We can schedule around business hours and phase the work so part of the space stays open.

Who to call about building work

Cascade Township runs its own building inspections department and also issues building, electrical, mechanical and plumbing permits for several neighbors, including Ada, Grand Rapids Township, Lowell Township, East Grand Rapids, Vergennes and Plainfield. A floor coating over existing concrete is a surface treatment, but if your plans include new concrete or a basement finish, the inspections office at 616-949-3765 can tell you what applies.

Stormwater and cleanup

The township publishes a stormwater ordinance and lists an MS4 stormwater permit on its stormwater page. Our grinding is done with vacuum dust collection, and rinse water and leftover materials are kept out of the street and storm drains. Empty containers leave with us.
