McCordsville floors start with newer slabs
McCordsville sits in the northwest corner of Hancock County, right next to Lawrence and Fishers, and it's been growing fast. Most of the calls I get here come from homeowners in newer subdivisions with attached garages. We also see a few older houses and outbuildings out along the county roads, plus small shop and business spaces as more of them go up around McCordsville.
Newer houses mean newer slabs, and that changes the job. Builders often leave a smooth troweled finish or a cure-and-seal coat on the garage floor, and a coating won't grab either one, so we grind the slab open before anything goes down.
Floor and concrete work we do in McCordsville
Epoxy Floor Coatings
For garages, basements and workrooms in McCordsville that need a hard floor you can wipe clean, we grind the slab first so the epoxy bonds to bare concrete.
Commercial & Industrial Epoxy Floor Coatings
Shop, warehouse and light industrial floors around McCordsville take carts, forklifts and spills, so we lay a thicker epoxy system built for that traffic and regular cleaning.
Garage Floor Coatings
Most garages we see in McCordsville are newer attached two- and three-car spaces, and a coated floor keeps oil and tire marks from soaking into the concrete.
Polyaspartic Floor Coatings
When your garage is where the cars live, a polyaspartic coating cures faster than standard epoxy, so you get your McCordsville garage back sooner.
Metallic Epoxy Flooring
For a finished basement, home gym or showroom in McCordsville, metallic epoxy gives a swirled, glossy look that covers the plain gray slab underneath.
Urethane Cement Flooring
Commercial kitchens and wash-down rooms around McCordsville need a floor that handles hot water, steam and strong cleaners, and urethane cement holds up there better than standard epoxy.
Polished Concrete Flooring
For shops, offices and open lower levels in McCordsville, we grind and polish the slab itself, so there's no coating to peel and little upkeep beyond cleaning.
Stained Concrete Flooring
If you want color without a thick coating, stain soaks into the concrete itself, which suits McCordsville lower levels, sunrooms and small retail spaces.
Terrazzo Flooring
For lobbies, entryways and commercial spaces around McCordsville that want a long-lasting decorative floor, terrazzo sets stone or glass chips in a binder that's ground and polished.
Basement Flooring
We check basement slabs in McCordsville for moisture before we pick a system, because water coming up through the concrete is what lifts most basement coatings.
Concrete Grinding & Surface Preparation
We diamond-grind McCordsville slabs to take off old sealers, paint and high spots, which is the step that decides whether a new floor stays put.
Concrete Sealing
Bare garage floors, walkways and patios around McCordsville soak up water and oil, and a penetrating or film-forming sealer keeps that out and makes cleanup easier.
Concrete Resurfacing & Overlays
When a McCordsville garage or patio slab is pitted, stained or patched, an overlay gives you a fresh surface without tearing out concrete that's still sound.
Self-Leveling Concrete & Overlays
When a McCordsville basement or shop floor has dips and low spots, a self-leveling layer brings it flat so the coating or new flooring sits even.
Pool Deck Coatings & Resurfacing
For backyard pools in McCordsville's newer neighborhoods, we resurface worn or cracked decks with a textured coating that gives bare feet better grip.
Concrete Floor Stripping & Removal
Before a new floor goes down, we strip old epoxy, paint, glue and tile from McCordsville slabs, because a coating is only as good as what's under it.

Working in McCordsville: permits, prep and what sets the price
In McCordsville, building permits come from the Building Commissioner for the Town of McCordsville, and the code says construction can't start until a valid permit is in hand, so when a job needs one, the permit sets the start date. When a floor job needs a permit, we file it with that office and tell you where it stands, and if it's unclear whether yours does, we check with them before we start. If your property sits outside McCordsville in unincorporated Hancock County, the county's Planning & Building Department handles it instead. We're licensed and insured.
We're based in Lawrence, just down the road, and we do the same prep-first work across the cities around it, down to Beech Grove on the south side. Your price turns on the size of the floor, how much grinding and crack repair the slab needs, any old coating or sealer we have to take off and the system you pick. The schedule turns on whether the slab is dry enough to coat and how long the coating needs before you use the space, and the written estimate spells out each of those for your floor.
Why McCordsville garages and shop floors wear out
Bare garage concrete takes a beating from the day the house is finished. Oil and tire marks soak into the open surface, the top layer dusts and pits as it's driven on, and in garages that double as gyms or workshops the floor gets dragged on and dropped on too. A coating seals that surface off, and we grind and patch the slab before it goes down so it holds.
As McCordsville keeps growing, we see more shops, offices and small warehouse spaces. Those floors take carts, forklifts and cleaners every day, so we steer them toward heavier epoxy, urethane cement or polished concrete.
How a floor job runs when you call us in McCordsville
Here's what happens from your first call to the day you walk the finished floor, and who you'll deal with along the way.
Call or send a request
Call (317) 463-6468 or send the form, and we'll call back to set a time for me to come see the floor. Tell us whether it's a garage, basement or shop and how you use it, so I come ready.
I check your slab on site
I come out myself, check the concrete for moisture, cracks and old coatings, and talk through which system fits how you use the space, so it helps if you're home to walk it with me. You get a written estimate that spells out the prep, the system and the cost, so you know exactly what you'd be paying for.
Our crew preps and installs
Our own crew grinds and repairs the slab, then puts the floor down, and I check the work along the way. If your job needs a permit, we have it in hand before the first day of grinding.
We walk the finished floor
When the floor's done, I walk it with you and go over when you can walk on it, when you can park on it and how to clean it. If anything isn't right, tell me then, because it's satisfaction guaranteed on every job.
Questions for a flooring contractor in McCordsville
Do I need a building permit before starting a floor project in McCordsville?
If the work counts as construction that needs a building permit, McCordsville requires that permit before any work begins. Whether a coating or polish on your existing slab needs one is something we settle with the building office before we schedule, and if it does, we file it and keep you posted.
Do I need a plot plan for a permit if the work is inside my garage or basement in McCordsville?
No, McCordsville waives the plot plan, the scaled drawing of your lot that normally goes with a permit application, when all the construction happens inside an existing structure. The waiver covers that drawing only, so if your job needs a permit, the permit still applies.
What residential building code applies to homes in McCordsville?
Homes in McCordsville fall under the Indiana Residential Code, which the state lists as currently in effect and which is built on the International Residential Code. That's the code your project is held to if it counts as building work, and I'll tell you up front if anything we're doing reaches that point.
How do I check if my McCordsville house is in a flood zone?
Hancock County has an online GIS site that shows whether property you own in the county is in a flood zone and which flood map panel covers it. The state's floodplain information portal also shows mapped floodplains along waterways. It's worth a look before you put money into a basement floor, and either way I test the slab for moisture before we pick a system.
How much does a garage floor coating cost in McCordsville?
Your price is set by the size of the floor, how much prep the slab needs and which system you pick, and you get it in writing after I've seen the floor. Grinding off a builder's sealer or old paint, filling cracks and pitting, and dealing with moisture all add work, while a single-color epoxy usually costs less than a full flake or metallic system.
What causes epoxy garage floors to peel in McCordsville?
Most peeling comes from the concrete underneath, usually a surface that wasn't ground open, a builder's cure-and-seal coat left on, or moisture pushing up through the slab. That's why I'd rather spend the time grinding, repairing cracks and checking moisture than rush to the part you see.
