Epoxy Floor & Concrete Coating Contractors in Duluth, Minnesota

Duluth climbs a steep hillside above the western tip of Lake Superior. Canal Park is the city’s lively waterfront, where the Aerial Lift Bridge rises to let ore boats and lakers into the harbor, and the Lakewalk follows the shore for miles. Enger Tower and Skyline Parkway look out over the lake, Glensheen Mansion sits on its shoreline, Park Point stretches into the lake with sandy beaches, and Spirit Mountain offers skiing within city limits. The University of Minnesota Duluth adds a college-town energy.

Lake Superior’s Influence

Duluth’s weather is shaped by the lake: long, snowy winters, cool summers, fog and wind. Steep streets and rocky hillsides mean drainage is a constant concern, and groundwater can seep into basements and garage floors. The city uses plenty of salt and sand on its hills, and that grit gets tracked into every garage. Freeze–thaw cycles are frequent and hard on unprotected concrete.

• Garages in older hillside neighborhoods, coated to resist salt, sand and snowmelt
• Basements in the city’s many early twentieth-century homes, primed for moisture
• Restaurant, brewery and retail floors in Canal Park and downtown
• Industrial and port-related floors near the harbor

Textured, slip-resistant finishes help on steep driveways and steps, and polyaspartic topcoats hold up well to salt. Older homes with stone or block foundations may need moisture mitigation before any basement coating. Look through the Duluth contractors on this page and request estimates.
