Floors we coat around Lumberton
Growth west of Hattiesburg, with Oak Grove adding new construction steadily.
A slab poured in sections often has slight height differences at the seams. Those get ground flat rather than coated over, because a coating follows the shape it is laid on.
What a Lumberton job usually involves
Driveway aprons are worth mentioning because they are a separate pour from the garage slab and they move independently. The transition between them gets detailed deliberately rather than coated straight across.
One day down for most homes. Commercial work is phased to your hours.
Where a garage has been used as a workshop there is usually oil worked deep into the pores in one or two spots. Surface cleaning does not reach it. We grind it out and prime over what is left.
Garages here tend to be attached, which changes two things. The dust has somewhere to go, so containment matters more, and the slab usually shares a pour with the house foundation, so movement is less of a problem than on a detached shop.
The slab decides the spec.
Before we quote anything
Commercial slabs that have been in service take oil deep into the pores. Surface degreasing does not reach it, and resin will not bond through it. We grind it out, and where contamination runs deep we prime with something built to tolerate it.
Primers, base, broadcast and topcoat are four separate products that have to be compatible. Mixing brands across layers is how delamination happens.
Living with it afterwards
In a commercial kitchen the cleaning routine is the maintenance plan, and the floor is specified around the chemistry you already use.

Commercial work around Lumberton
Where a property has been rented out the slab has usually had a harder life than the owner realises. We would rather look at it than quote off a description.
New construction is the opposite problem. The slab is clean but green, and coating concrete before it has cured traps water under the film. We would rather push the date than come back to blisters.
The full roster runs to seventy five different rooms, from garages through to food plants and clean rooms. It is all on the services page.
Why the prep matters more than the colour
New pours need to cure before they are coated, and the wait is longer than most people expect. Coating green concrete traps water under the film. We would rather push the date than come back to a blistered floor.
Slabs around Laurel and down toward the coast are mostly 1970s to 1990s pours, and they were finished hard. A hard-troweled surface has almost no porosity left, which is why paint peels off it in sheets. Grinding opens that surface back up so resin can key into the concrete instead of sitting on top of it.
Quartz systems are built in layers, broadcast and troweled rather than rolled. It is slower to install and it is the toughest, grippiest thing we lay.
Grinding is most of the job.
Getting to you
We work out of Laurel and cover roughly a hundred miles in every direction. That takes in Jones County, Rankin, Simpson and Lamar to the north and west, the whole Mississippi coast from Bay St. Louis through Biloxi to Pascagoula, across into Baldwin and Mobile County in Alabama, and west to St. Tammany Parish.
Lumberton sits in Lamar County. See the other towns we cover on the Lamar County page or the full service areas list.

How the day runs
Prep is most of the work and all of the reason coatings last. We arrive with the grinder and the dust extraction, and the first stretch is noise and containment rather than anything that looks like progress. Getting the slab open and clean is what the rest of the day depends on.
Cracks get chased out and filled, high spots come down, and any old coating comes off rather than getting buried. Then the primer goes on and the day becomes a sequence with cure windows in it. Most houses are done inside a day, then 12 hours to foot traffic.
Kevin Garner set this up in 2021 for his family to carry on. Nothing gets lost between the quote and the floor because it is the same people doing both.
Maintenance is a dust mop and occasionally a neutral cleaner. No wax, no sealing, no annual reapplication. If someone tells you a coated floor needs yearly maintenance, they are describing their own product failing. If you want to see blends first, the chip deck comes to you, and there are finished floors on the gallery page.
Lumberton questions
Do you cover Lumberton?
Yes. We are based in Laurel and Lumberton is inside our normal working radius.
How long does a garage take?
Most residential floors go down in a single day. Walk on it in 12 hours, move heavy things at 24, park on it at 48.
What is the slab likely to need?
Growth west of Hattiesburg, with Oak Grove adding new construction steadily. Slabs with in-floor heat or embedded conduit change how aggressively we can grind. We locate it first rather than finding it with a diamond.
Can you match a colour?
Yes. The chip deck comes to you so you choose against your own light.
Do you do commercial work here?
Yes. Shops, kitchens, clinics and warehouses across Lamar County.
