Epoxy Floor & Concrete Coating Contractors in Austin, Texas

Austin wraps around Lady Bird Lake, where kayakers paddle past the downtown skyline and the hike-and-bike trail loops both shores. Zilker Park and spring-fed Barton Springs Pool sit just south of the river, the pink-granite State Capitol anchors downtown, and the University of Texas campus fills the blocks to the north. Add South Congress, Mount Bonnell’s view of Lake Austin, and the lakes and coves of Lake Travis to the west, and you get a city where people spend a lot of time outdoors, and expect their patios and garages to keep up.

Clay on one side, limestone on the other

The Balcones Escarpment runs right through town. East of it, dark Blackland clay swells after rain and shrinks in drought, which keeps slabs shifting and cracking. West of it, in the hills, homes sit on limestone and thin rocky soil, with steep driveways and pool decks exposed to long hours of sun. Hot summers push slab temperatures high, so UV-stable polyaspartic topcoats outlast basic epoxy on anything in daylight, and good crack repair is essential on the east side before any coating goes down.

• Garage floors in fast-growing suburbs, often with full flake broadcast
• Pool decks and patios in the Hill Country that need cool, slip-resistant texture
• Restaurants, bars and creative office spaces downtown and on the East Side finished with metallic epoxy or polished concrete
• Warehouses and tech manufacturing floors in the growing industrial corridors

With plenty of Austin-area contractors listed on this page, it pays to request a few quotes and ask each one how they handle slab movement and sun exposure.
