Epoxy Flooring in Grand Haven, MI

Epoxy flooring in Grand Haven deals with conditions inland towns do not. The city sits on Lake Michigan's eastern shore where the Grand River meets the lake, with Grand Haven State Park's beaches and over 100 miles of bike trails nearby. That means beach sand, wet bikes and kayaks in the garage all summer, and salted streets once the snow comes.

Sand is sandpaper

Fine beach sand tracked onto a floor acts like an abrasive under tires and shoes. On bare concrete it grinds into the surface. On a coated floor, a hard topcoat takes the wear and the sand sweeps or blows out. For Grand Haven garages we lean toward a full flake broadcast with a polyaspartic or urethane topcoat, which resists abrasion better than an epoxy topcoat alone.

Salt still comes home

Downtown Grand Haven has a heated snowmelt system, built in 2009-10 for $3 million, and the city estimates it no longer has to haul snow or spread salt and sand there. But most residential streets and the highways out of town still get treated, so vehicles bring brine into garages all winter. A sealed floor keeps that salty water on the surface where it can be squeegeed out.

Second homes and seasonal use

The 2020 census found 14.7% of Grand Haven's 6,066 housing units vacant, a much higher share than inland suburbs, which fits a town with cottages and seasonal homes. If your place sits closed part of the year, a coated garage and lower level are easier to bring back to life in spring: no dusty concrete, and stains from boats, trailers or stored furniture wipe off.

Metallic floors for lake houses

For finished lower levels, walkout rooms and home bars, metallic epoxy floors give a poured, flowing finish that suits a lake home. They are seamless, so there are no grout lines to trap sand, and a clear topcoat protects the look. We also install basement floor epoxy in a solid color for utility and storage spaces.

Older homes near downtown

Grand Haven was incorporated in 1867 and grew as a lumber, shipping and shipbuilding town, so some neighborhoods near downtown have older houses and detached garages. Older slabs may have patched areas, uneven sections or old paint. We grind these surfaces, repair what can be repaired, and tell you plainly if a section is too far gone for a coating to fix.
