Garage Floor Coatings in West St. Paul, Minnesota.

West St. Paul is a post-war suburb and the garages are exactly what that means: attached one and two-car garages on 1940s, 1950s and early 1960s houses, on slabs that are now sixty to eighty years old. They are also narrower than what gets built today, so the usable floor is smaller and the walls take more of the wear. A slab that age is normally sound and normally tired, and it carries three things the grind has to remove: settlement cracking, spalling where the door meets the weather, and a coat of gray floor paint from some earlier decade. What separates West St. Paul from the Dakota County river towns below it is elevation. The city sits on the bluff top, well above the Mississippi, so basement slabs here read lower on a moisture test than the ones in South St. Paul or Inver Grove Heights down on the flats. What West St. Paul does get in quantity is road salt, because Robert Street is plowed and treated hard from November to March and every car on it comes home to a garage.

Garage Floor Coatings specifically in West St. Paul

West St. Paul garages are post-war and consistent: attached one and two-car slabs poured between the late 1940s and the early 1960s, narrower than modern garages and now sixty to eighty years old. That age brings settlement cracking, spalling at the door line where snowmelt and salt sit, and very often a layer of gray floor paint. All three come off in the diamond grind. Salt is the local variable, because Robert Street is treated heavily all winter and it arrives on tires. Polyurea is not affected by chloride the way bare concrete is, which is the point of coating a slab in a salted corridor.
