Coating Older Garage Slabs in Hurst
About 60 percent of Hurst's housing was built before 1980, and the median home dates to 1975 (American Community Survey, 2020 to 2024). That means many garage floors in the city are 45 years old or more. Oil and transmission fluid soak deep into the surface and keep wicking back up through a coating unless they are degreased and ground out. Earlier paint, sealer or a failed kit has to come off down to clean concrete, because a new system stays bonded only as long as whatever sits beneath it. Cracks from decades of clay movement get filled and ground flush, and we point out the ones likely to move again.
Sun still matters on a northeast Tarrant County garage. Leave the door open on a July afternoon, when highs average in the mid 90s, and the slab nearest the opening sits in direct UV, and aromatic epoxy yellows under it. For garages, porches and patios we finish with an aliphatic polyaspartic topcoat. On the commercial side, the city reports it is about 99 percent developed, so most shop and retail coating work here is on existing slabs, often when a space changes tenants.
