Beech Grove floors we work on, from garages to shops
Beech Grove was never folded into Indianapolis and still runs itself, with its own mayor and council, its own police and its own schools. It's a short trip from our base in Lawrence, and we work the same stretch of cities down into Greenwood, so our crew is out this way often.
Most of our calls here come from older houses with detached garages and basements, plus a few small shops. That means we're usually refinishing concrete that's been in place for decades, so the job turns on what's already on the slab.
Flooring services for Beech Grove homes and businesses
Epoxy Floor Coatings
A tough, easy-to-clean coat for the older garage and basement slabs we see across Beech Grove, put down after we grind off oil stains and old paint.
Commercial & Industrial Epoxy Floor Coatings
For Beech Grove shops, small warehouses and back rooms that take carts, forklifts or foot traffic all day and need a floor that cleans up fast.
Garage Floor Coatings
Garages here often have stained, dusty slabs. A flake coating seals the concrete, hides years of wear and lets you wipe up spills instead of scrubbing them.
Polyaspartic Floor Coatings
A faster-curing coating for Beech Grove garages you need back in use soon, and it holds its color where sunlight comes through an open door.
Metallic Epoxy Flooring
A poured, swirled finish for a finished basement, a home bar or a showroom in Beech Grove when you want the floor to be the thing people notice.
Urethane Cement Flooring
For Beech Grove kitchens and food prep rooms that see hot water, grease and daily washdowns, which ordinary epoxy doesn't handle as well.
Polished Concrete Flooring
We grind and polish existing slabs in Beech Grove shops, offices and basements into a hard, glossy floor with no coating on top to peel.
Stained Concrete Flooring
Adds color to plain basement and back-room slabs in older Beech Grove homes, then gets sealed so the color stands up to everyday wear.
Terrazzo Flooring
A chip-and-binder floor, ground smooth, for Beech Grove entryways, lobbies and storefronts where heavy traffic meets a floor that has to look sharp.
Basement Flooring
Plenty of Beech Grove basement slabs were never meant to be finished, so we test for moisture first and pick a floor that suits the concrete.
Concrete Grinding & Surface Preparation
The step that decides whether a floor holds. We grind off old paint, sealer and glue so the new coating grips bare, open concrete.
Concrete Sealing
A clear sealer for Beech Grove garage and basement slabs that need protection from stains and wear but don't call for a full coating.
Concrete Resurfacing & Overlays
When an older Beech Grove slab is pitted, flaking or patched over, a thin overlay gives you a sound, even surface without tearing out the concrete.
Self-Leveling Concrete & Overlays
Evens out sloped or wavy floors in older Beech Grove basements and additions before tile, wood or a coating goes down on top.
Pool Deck Coatings & Resurfacing
Freshens worn or cracked pool decks at Beech Grove homes with a textured coating that gives bare feet better grip around the water.
Concrete Floor Stripping & Removal
Takes up old tile, carpet glue, failing epoxy and paint from Beech Grove floors so whatever goes down next bonds to clean concrete.

How floor jobs work in Beech Grove
Building permits in Beech Grove come from the city's own Building Commissioner, not from Indianapolis, so when a floor job needs one we file there, tell you where it stands and start once it's issued. If it isn't clear whether your job needs one, we check with that office before we start, and that check or wait is usually what moves the start date. Before you hire anyone for the work, it's fair to ask whether they're registered with the city.
On the floor itself, the price turns on the slab: how much old paint, sealer or glue has to come off, how many cracks need filling, whether moisture is coming up, how big the space is and which system you pick. The schedule follows the same things, because a slab that needs more prep takes longer before the coating goes down. Your written estimate spells that out for your floor, the same way we lay it out for homeowners in Greenfield and Cumberland.
Slab problems we see on Beech Grove properties
The older garages here tend to carry years of oil, tire marks and a round or two of paint or sealer, and a new coating won't stick to any of it. We grind the slab down to open, bare concrete and fill the cracks and pitted spots first, because nearly every failed floor I've had to fix came back to concrete that wasn't ready.
Basements are the other common call, and their slabs can push moisture up from below. I test for that before I quote a coating, and if the slab isn't ready, I'll tell you so.
What happens when you call us about a Beech Grove floor
Here's how a job goes from your first call to the final walk-through, with me on site for the look and our own crew doing the work.
Call or send a request
Call (317) 463-6468 or send the form and tell us a little about the floor. We get back to you and set a time for me to come out.
I come out and check
I look at the floor, check the concrete for moisture and old coatings, and talk through which system fits how you use the space. You get a written estimate that shows what you're paying for before you say yes, and it helps if you're there so you can ask questions as we go.
We prep and install the floor
Once you're ready and any permit is in hand, our own crew grinds and repairs the slab, then puts the floor down. I check the work along the way rather than waiting until the end.
We walk the finished floor
When it's done, I walk the floor with you and go over how to care for it. Satisfaction guaranteed on every job.
Questions about flooring in Beech Grove
Do I need a permit for an epoxy garage floor in Beech Grove?
The city requires a permit before construction, alteration or repair of a building when the job costs more than $500, while ordinary maintenance and repair, and work of $500 or less, don't need one unless it's on the city's list of hazard work. The city's rules on when permits are required don't name floor coatings, so we check with the Building Commissioner's office before we start and file if your job needs one.
Can I get a building permit for my own house in Beech Grove?
Yes, if you own the parcel and have possession of it, you can get a permit for work on a one- or two-family home there, as long as you apply for it yourself. The city's rules on who can get a permit leave out work done to sell or lease the property to someone else. If we're doing your floor and it needs a permit, we file for it so you don't have to.
Does a flooring contractor have to be registered with the city of Beech Grove?
Yes, every contractor working in Beech Grove registers with the Clerk-Treasurer and pays the city's license and listing fees. A listed contractor can get building permits, but only for the work its license allows, and any work in the city's public right-of-way needs a city license too. Ask anyone you're considering whether they're registered before you sign.
How much does an epoxy floor cost in Beech Grove?
The price comes down to the slab more than the coating, so I can't give you a fair number until I've seen your floor. A garage with old paint or sealer to strip, deep cracks or damp spots costs more than a clean, sound slab, and a metallic or polyaspartic system costs more than a basic flake coat. Your written estimate lists each of those so you can see where the money goes.
What causes epoxy garage floors to peel in older homes?
Most peeling starts with the concrete underneath, usually because the slab wasn't ground, still had old sealer or oil in it, or was pushing moisture up. Store-bought kits often go onto a slab that's only been washed or etched, so the coating sits on top instead of gripping. We grind the slab to bare concrete and repair cracks before anything goes down.
What's the best floor for a small shop or warehouse in Beech Grove?
For most small shops it's either polished concrete or a commercial epoxy system, and I'd lean polished if spills are rare, because there's no coating on top to wear through. Epoxy is the better pick when oil or chemicals hit the floor, since it seals the slab and mops clean. If the space sees hot water or grease, like a food prep area, urethane cement holds up better than either.
