Older Slabs, Small Garages, Careful Work

We install epoxy flooring in Zeeland for a compact city with deep roots. Zeeland covers about three square miles, was platted in 1849 and incorporated as a city in 1907, so many homes sit on older, smaller lots with detached or single-stall garages. Concrete that has been around a while needs a closer look before it is coated, and that is where we start.

Reading an older slab

Older garage floors often have patched sections, settled cracks, oil soaked deep into the surface, or an old paint or sealer that has half worn off. Every one of those affects adhesion. We grind the whole floor to clean, open concrete, fill cracks and pits, and pull up any loose coating instead of sealing over it. On a floor that has heaved or broken badly, we will tell you if replacement is the smarter spend.

Made for a maker's town

Zeeland has always built things. Around 1907 it already had four furniture factories, and today it is home to companies such as Herman Miller and Gentex. A lot of residents bring that habit home with a woodshop, a welding bench or a car project in the garage. For those spaces we recommend: 1. Commercial & Shop Floor Epoxy for workshops where heavy tools, oils and dropped parts are routine 2. Garage Floor Coating with a flake broadcast for everyday parking 3. Polyaspartic Floor Coating for a quick return to use and a topcoat that resists yellowing in sunlight

Design-minded floors inside

Not every floor here is a work floor. For basements, home offices and finished lower levels, Metallic Epoxy Floors create a seamless, flowing finish that looks nothing like a garage. Epoxy Flake Floors come in blends that range from subtle stone tones to bolder mixes, and Basement Floor Epoxy gives a clean, washable surface for laundry and storage areas.

Who lives here

Zeeland's 2020 census counted 2,382 households, and a third were single-person households. The Census puts owner-occupancy at 64.4%, the median owner-occupied value at $299,000, and the average household at 2.30 people. For an older owner, a coated garage floor that does not get slick and does not track dust into the house can be a practical upgrade; we can add an anti-slip texture to the topcoat on request.

City permits and fees

Zeeland's Building Department administers the state building, mechanical, plumbing, electrical and energy codes along with zoning, and publishes a Residential Pole Barn Information sheet. Its permit fees start at a $50 base plus $5 per $1,000 of project value. Coating an existing slab is surface work; if your project includes a new garage, outbuilding or trade work, check with the department before we schedule.

Cost and quotes

Older floors sometimes need more repair, which shows up in the price, and metallic floors cost more than flake. We price after measuring. Call (616) 779-7733 for a free written estimate.

Dutch founding. Zeeland was settled in 1847 by 457 Dutch emigrants led by Jannes Van de Luyster, platted in 1849, incorporated as a village in 1875 and became a city in 1907. It sits about 24 miles southwest of Grand Rapids.
Housing mix. Zeeland's owner-occupancy rate is 64.4%, the median owner-occupied home value is $299,000, and 86.1% of residents lived in the same house a year earlier (Census ACS, 2020 to 2024).
Brick-making and industry. The Zeeland Brick Company began in 1848 and grew into the largest of its kind in Michigan, according to the city's history page. Zeeland later became home to Herman Miller and Gentex.
Permit fees. The City of Zeeland Building Department charges a $50 base fee plus $5 per $1,000 of project value up to $500,000, and requires two days' notice for mechanical and plumbing inspections.

Zeeland Questions

My Zeeland garage floor has old gray paint on it. Can you coat over it?

We remove it. Coating over old paint means the new floor is only as strong as the paint's grip. We grind down to bare concrete so the new system bonds to the slab itself.

Is a metallic epoxy floor practical for a basement?

Yes, if the slab passes a moisture test. Metallic floors are seamless and easy to clean. They do show scratches more than flake floors, so they suit living spaces better than workshops.

Can you work in a small single-stall or detached garage?

Yes. Smaller garages take more hand work along the edges, but the process is the same. We need access to power and a place to park our equipment nearby.

Does Zeeland require a permit for a floor coating?

Coating an existing floor is surface work. New structures, pole barns and trade work go through the city's Building Department, so call them if your project includes any of that.
