Anderson homes, shops and the slabs under them
Anderson is an easy run up from our base in Lawrence, and the calls we get here cover a lot of ground.
There are older houses around downtown with garages and basements that have seen decades of use, newer homes further out where people want the garage finished early, and plenty of shop and warehouse space where the floor takes a beating every day. That mix means no two estimates here look alike, because a basement in an older house, a newer garage and a busy shop floor each need a different system and a different amount of prep before anything goes down.
Flooring and concrete work we do in Anderson
Epoxy Floor Coatings
A good fit for Anderson garages and workrooms where bare concrete dusts, stains and soaks up spills, once we've ground the slab clean so the coating grabs.
Commercial & Industrial Epoxy Floor Coatings
For shop and warehouse floors around Anderson that take forklifts, carts and chemicals, we build thicker epoxy systems on properly ground concrete so they wear slowly.
Garage Floor Coatings
Cars track in grit and oil, and a coated garage floor wipes clean instead of soaking it up, as long as the slab was prepped right.
Polyaspartic Floor Coatings
A faster-curing topcoat that holds its color in sunlight, so it suits garages with the door open all day and homeowners who need the space back sooner.
Metallic Epoxy Flooring
For a basement rec room, a showroom or a home bar where you want a floor with depth and movement, poured over a slab we've leveled and cleaned.
Urethane Cement Flooring
Built for commercial kitchens, food plants and wash-down areas in Anderson businesses where hot water, grease and chemicals would break down an ordinary coating.
Polished Concrete Flooring
When a warehouse, retail space or modern home has a sound slab, grinding and polishing it gives a hard, bright floor with no coating to peel.
Stained Concrete Flooring
Older basement and patio slabs can take a stain that adds warm color without hiding the concrete, and a sealer on top keeps it easy to clean.
Terrazzo Flooring
Epoxy terrazzo suits lobbies, schools and storefronts that want a hard-wearing decorative floor, and it needs a flat, well-prepped base before the chips go down.
Basement Flooring
Basements in Anderson's older houses often have damp, patched or painted slabs, so we test for moisture first and pick a system that can handle what we find.
Concrete Grinding & Surface Preparation
Nearly every coating we put down in Anderson starts here, because grinding opens up the concrete and takes off old sealer and stains so the new floor bonds.
Concrete Sealing
A penetrating or film sealer helps bare garage, basement and shop concrete resist stains and dusting when you don't need or want a full coating.
Concrete Resurfacing & Overlays
When a slab is worn, scaled or patched but still structurally sound, a thin overlay gives it a new surface without tearing it out and pouring again.
Self-Leveling Concrete & Overlays
Uneven floors in older homes and shop additions get a pourable underlayment that flattens the slab before your finished floor or a coating goes on top.
Pool Deck Coatings & Resurfacing
For pool decks around Anderson that have cracked, faded or gotten slick, we resurface or coat the concrete with a textured finish that's easier on bare feet.
Concrete Floor Stripping & Removal
Peeling paint, failed epoxy and old tile glue come off before anything new goes down, because a coating is only as good as what's under it.

Permits, licenses and pricing for Anderson floor jobs
If your floor job needs a permit in Anderson, it comes from the city's Permit Center. Its permit list covers garages, additions and remodeling among other building work, and whether a particular floor job falls under it is that office's call, so when it's unclear I check with them before we start, and if a permit is needed, the start date waits on it. The center also licenses electrical, HVAC and plumbing contractors and takes questions about contractor licenses, so it's the place to ask about a contractor's city license. We're licensed and insured.
As a flooring contractor based in Lawrence, IN, we're a straight drive up I-69 from Anderson, so bringing our crew and grinders here is routine, and it's the same work we do in Fishers and McCordsville. What moves the price is the size of the floor, how much prep the slab needs, like grinding off old coatings, filling cracks or dealing with moisture, and which system you choose, while the schedule turns mostly on that prep, the cure time and whether a permit is involved. Most of what we do is indoors, but if you want the stretch of driveway or sidewalk near the street resurfaced, work in the city's right-of-way needs its own permits, bonds and insurance and has to meet the city's driveway standards, so we'll talk that through at the estimate. My written estimate lays all of this out for your floor before you decide anything.
Why so many Anderson floors need prep first
A lot of the older garage and basement slabs we see were poured without a vapor barrier, the plastic sheet under the concrete that keeps ground moisture out, and they've picked up oil, patches and a coat or two of paint over the years. Put a coating straight over that and moisture pushing up from below, or the old paint letting go, will lift it in patches. So I test for moisture, we grind down to clean concrete and repair the cracks, and if the slab isn't ready for a coating yet, I'll tell you that before anything else.
Shop and warehouse floors here wear out differently, with bare concrete dusting under traffic and breaking down at the joints where forklifts and carts hit them. We fill the joints and cracks, then put down a thicker system or polish the slab, depending on what rolls across it.
What to expect when we take on your Anderson floor
Here's how an Anderson job runs once you reach out, and who you'll be dealing with at each step.
Call or send a request
Call (317) 463-6468 or send the form with a few lines about your floor. We get back to you and set a time for me to come out.
I walk and test your floor
I come out myself, check the concrete for moisture and old coatings, and ask how you use the space so we land on the right system. If something about the slab means it isn't ready, I'll say so right there.
You get a written estimate
It spells out the prep, the system and the price, so you know what you're paying for before you say yes. If the job needs a permit, we file it with the city's Permit Center, which takes applications weekdays from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and the start waits on its approval.
We prep, install and walk it
Our own crew grinds and repairs the slab, then puts the floor down, and I check the work along the way. When it's done, I walk the finished floor with you.
Questions about floor coatings in Anderson, IN
How do I get a building permit approved in Anderson, IN?
Once you or your contractor apply, the Building Commissioner reviews the plans for compliance with the Anderson Building Code before any building permit is issued. For new construction and major remodeling, that review also covers safety from flooding and whether materials exposed to water resist water damage, and the approved plans are stamped and kept at the job site until final inspections are done. You can read this in the city's code as published online, though the city's official copy is the one to go by.
Which building code applies to homes in Anderson, Indiana?
Homes in Anderson fall under the Indiana Residential Code, which the state lists as currently in effect and which is based on the International Residential Code for one- and two-family homes. If your floor is part of a larger remodel with a permit, we work to what the city's review calls for.
Does a historic district in Anderson change my flooring project?
It can, because the city's historic commission reviews all exterior changes to structures and sites in the Downtown Anderson, West Eighth Street and West Central districts. If you're in one of those districts and want outside concrete like a pool deck, porch or front walk redone, check with the commission first, and I'll ask about it at the estimate.
Can a dumpster sit in the street during a floor job in Anderson?
Yes, but the city requires a Dumpster Permit for any project dumpster placed in the street, alley or sidewalk area. Most coating jobs don't need one, but tearing out old tile or thick coatings can fill a dumpster, so if yours will, we'll say so at the estimate and get the permit lined up before it arrives.
What causes an epoxy garage floor to peel in an older Anderson house?
Most peeling comes from the concrete underneath, either moisture coming up through the slab or a surface that was never ground clean of oil, sealer or old paint. That's why I test for moisture at the estimate and why we grind the slab before we coat it, since the coating can only hold as well as the concrete it's stuck to.
How much does a garage floor coating cost in Anderson, IN?
The price comes down to the size of your garage, how much prep the slab needs and which system you pick, and you get your exact number in my written estimate after I've seen the concrete. Grinding off old paint or epoxy, filling cracks and dealing with a damp slab all add to it, and a full flake or metallic finish costs more than a simple solid color. You'll find more on the systems on our garage floor coatings page.
