A dense factory city surrounded by Cincinnati

Epoxy Flooring in Norwood, OH

The Oldest Concrete in the Area

Epoxy flooring in Norwood puts us on some of the oldest concrete in the Cincinnati area. Point2Homes ACS data shows 66.4% of Norwood's housing predates 1940, with a median build year of 1938. The city is an enclave entirely surrounded by Cincinnati, and Wikipedia gives a density of more than 6,000 people per square mile. In a city that dense, garages tend to be modest, and basements often carry several coats of old paint.

What century-old floors hide

A basement or garage floor from the 1920s often has:

Several layers of paint or old sealer.
Patches in different concrete mixes.
Uneven surfaces and low spots.
No vapor barrier underneath.

We grind to bare concrete, level low areas and test moisture before choosing a primer. That prep is the biggest part of the job.

Two-family and multi-unit homes

About 26.5% of Norwood's housing units are in two- to four-unit buildings, and 52.5% of occupied homes are rented. Owners of these buildings often coat shared basements and laundry areas. Once sealed, the floor wipes clean quickly, resists stains and brightens dark spaces.

Old factory buildings, new uses

Norwood had 47 factories by 1919, and the GM Norwood Assembly plant ran from 1923 to 1987, per Wikipedia. Some former industrial and commercial buildings now house offices, studios, gyms and breweries. Their floors may carry oil stains, embedded steel or old adhesives. We assess them in person and recommend a commercial system that fits the new use.

Small garages, big impact

In a dense city with limited storage, a garage often holds a car, bikes, tools and seasonal gear. A bright coated floor helps keep that space tidy and simpler to sweep. Light flake colors help in garages with little natural light.

Winter in a walkable city

Tracked-in salt and slush affect basements and garages alike. A coated floor keeps salt from soaking into old concrete and makes cleanup easier.

Norwood Questions

My basement floor has been painted many times. Can it be coated?

Yes, but the paint has to come off first. We grind to bare concrete, then test for moisture before priming.

Can you coat a shared basement in a two-family house?

Yes. We coordinate with both units and plan the work so laundry and storage access is interrupted as little as possible.

Do you coat floors in converted industrial buildings?

Yes. We assess old stains, embedded materials and adhesives, then recommend a system for the building's new use.

What color works in a dark alley garage?

Light gray or white-blend flake reflects more light and makes a small garage feel brighter.
