Garages That Work as Hard as Forest Hills Families

We install epoxy flooring in Forest Hills mainly for one kind of space: the family garage that gets used all day. Census figures from 2020 show 39.0% of the community's 9,868 households have children under 18, and 73.7% are married couples. In practice, that often means two cars, a row of bikes, sports gear and a side door everyone uses instead of the front. A coated floor is easier to sweep, safer when wet and far less likely to track grime into the house.

Forest Hills is a place, not a city

Forest Hills is an unincorporated community and census-designated place. It covers nearly all of Ada Township and most of the northern half of Cascade Township, and at 50.8 square miles it is the largest CDP by area in Michigan. Your mailing address may say Grand Rapids or Ada, but local rules come from whichever township your home sits in. When a question about building work comes up, we will point you to Ada or Cascade, depending on your parcel.

Why flake floors suit busy households

For a garage that sees daily foot traffic, we usually recommend a full-broadcast epoxy flake floor. The flakes add texture underfoot, which helps when kids come in with wet boots or the dog shakes off snow. The color blend hides dust and small chips between cleanings. Over that we apply a clear topcoat, often polyaspartic floor coating, which resists hot-tire pickup and stays clear instead of yellowing. Other options we install in Forest Hills homes:

Garage floor coating for two- and three-stall garages, including the apron edge
Basement floor epoxy for playrooms, home gyms and laundry areas
Metallic epoxy floors for a bar, theater room or finished lower level
Commercial and shop floor epoxy for a detached workshop

Homes held for years

Forest Hills homes rarely change hands quickly. Census estimates show 94.0% of homes are owner-occupied and 95.3% of residents lived in the same house a year earlier. The median owner-occupied value is $498,500. Owners planning to stay want a floor that lasts, so we grind rather than etch, repair cracks and spalls with a fast-setting filler, and use a topcoat sized for vehicle traffic.

Scheduling around a full calendar

Most garage jobs take one to two days depending on size and repairs. You will need to keep vehicles out until the floor is ready for traffic. We set the schedule with you ahead of time, so you can plan around school pickups and weekend games, and we tell you exactly when you can walk on it and when you can park.

How pricing works

Cost varies with square footage, crack repair and the topcoat you choose. We do not guess at a number over the phone; the price comes in writing after we see the slab, and the garage coating page lists published national ranges for reference.

Forest Hills Questions

Forest Hills is not a city. Who do I check with about building rules?

Your township. Forest Hills lies within Ada and Cascade townships, so building and zoning questions go to whichever one your home is in. Cascade Township's inspections office issues building permits for both.

Is a flake floor slippery when the kids track in snow?

A full-broadcast flake floor has noticeable texture, which helps. Any smooth, glossy surface can be slick when wet, so for entry areas we can add a fine anti-slip additive to the topcoat.

Can you coat the garage while we are living in the house?

Yes. Most families stay home during the work. We seal the door to the house, run vacuum dust collection while grinding and ventilate during coating. You just need to park elsewhere until the floor is ready.

Will sports cleats and bike stands damage the floor?

A properly cured topcoat holds up well to normal use. Metal cleats and kickstands can scuff over time, and a flake floor hides that wear better than a solid color or metallic finish.
