Commercial Floor Coatings in St. Paul, Minnesota.

St. Paul is older than every suburb around it, and it is the one place where the detached alley garage is the normal case rather than the exception. Across Macalester-Groveland, Merriam Park, Summit Hill, Hamline-Midway and Dayton's Bluff, the garage sits at the back of the lot off the alley, holds one or two cars, has no heat, and stands on a slab that is either original to a 1910s or 1920s house or was replaced at some point nobody remembers. Those two facts change the job. An unheated slab has to be coated inside a temperature window, and an old slab has to be read before it is quoted: 1920s concrete is often thin, sometimes has no vapor barrier under it, and can carry a century of oil. Highland Park, Como and Battle Creek are the post-war half of the city, mostly 1940s to 1960s, with attached and tuck-under garages on slabs that grind predictably. Highland Bridge is the newest concrete in St. Paul, poured from 2019 on, and it behaves like any other new build. We diamond grind to bare concrete on all of them and moisture test before quoting any lower-level or tuck-under floor.

Commercial Floor Coatings specifically in St. Paul

St. Paul commercial concrete is concentrated along West Seventh, University Avenue, Payne Avenue, the Midway, and the industrial ground on the east side and down by the river. Auto bays, small warehouses, restaurant kitchens, breweries and back-of-house retail all sit on slabs poured for a different tenant in a different decade. Chemical-resistant primer goes under the polyurea in auto and manufacturing bays; OSHA-compliant anti-slip aggregate goes into kitchens and any wet area.
