Epoxy Floor & Concrete Coating Contractors in Abilene, Texas

Abilene calls itself the Storybook Capital of America, and bronze sculptures of children’s book characters line the downtown sidewalks. The city is also home to Frontier Texas!, the Abilene Zoo, the Paramount Theatre, and three universities: Abilene Christian, Hardin-Simmons and McMurry. Dyess Air Force Base sits on the west side, and Abilene State Park and Lake Fort Phantom Hill give residents places to camp and fish within an easy drive.

This is the Big Country of West Central Texas, where summers are hot and dry, the wind blows steadily, and the sun is relentless. Those conditions bake exposed concrete and fade or yellow coatings that are not UV-stable. Winter brings occasional ice storms and hard freezes, so slabs get some freeze-thaw stress too. Clay soils in the area can shift during drought, opening cracks that should be repaired before a floor is coated.

Common Abilene coating projects

• Attached garages that double as workshops or storage
• Metal shop buildings and barns on rural acreage outside town
• Back patios and porches that need a sun-resistant, textured finish
• Campus, retail and church floors that see steady foot traffic

Dust is another factor out here. Wind carries fine grit into garages and shops, and a sealed, non-porous coating is much easier to sweep and mop than raw concrete, which tends to shed its own dust over time. Look over the Abilene contractors on this page and ask a couple of them which topcoat they recommend for West Texas sun and how they prep older, weathered slabs.
