Metallic Epoxy done in a day
Flat colour reads cheap in a room people actually look at. Grind in the morning, coat in the afternoon, walk on it that night.
Showrooms and front rooms where the floor is part of the pitch.
What we actually install
Metallic pigment moved by hand while the resin is open, so the pattern is never repeatable.
Before anything is mixed we know what the floor is sitting on. Same durability as a standard build, the difference is purely optical.

How the day runs
Grind
Metallic pigment moved by hand while the resin is open, so the pattern is never repeatable.
Build
Same durability as a standard build, the difference is purely optical.
Cure
Single day turnaround on typical residential slabs.
What the install actually looks like
We look at the concrete first and the colour chart second.
We look at the concrete first and the colour chart second. We turn up with the grinder and the extraction first, and the first hour is dust and noise rather than anything that looks like progress. Metallic pigment moved by hand while the resin is open, so the pattern is never repeatable.
Once the slab is open and clean we chase any cracks, fill them, and grind those flat. Then the primer goes down, and from that point the day is a sequence with cure windows in it rather than a job you can rush. The whole system goes down in one visit on most homes.
The crew is family. That is why the quote and the finished floor match. That matters on a metallic epoxy job because the person who decided the spec is the person holding the squeegee, so nothing gets lost between the quote and the floor.
Used a lot of flooring companies over the years on various jobs and lemme tell you you’re in good hands with these guys. From the quote to the finished job they were nothing short of professional.Verified review
Other systems floors we coat
The slab decides the spec.
What we find under a metallic epoxy job
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.
Garage aprons and interior slabs are usually separate pours at different times, and they move independently. The transition between them gets detailed deliberately so the coating does not split along that line.
The system we specify
Clear topcoats are not all clear. Some amber noticeably within a year indoors under LED light. We use ones that do not.
Polyaspartic topcoats cure faster and hold colour better under UV than standard epoxy clears. They also go down in a wider temperature window, which matters when you are working through a Mississippi summer.
Specified from the load, not a brochure.
Why the system matters more than the colour
A resin floor is four products stacked in order, and each one has a job. The primer wets into the open concrete and grips. The base coat builds thickness and carries the pigment. The broadcast layer, whether that is vinyl flake or graded quartz, gives the floor its texture and most of its wear resistance. The topcoat takes the abrasion and the UV so the layers underneath never see either.
Skip a layer and the floor still looks right on day one. It fails in month eight, usually along the door line where the sun hits or in the wheel tracks where the load concentrates. That is the difference between a coating and a system, and it is not visible in a photograph.
Residential floors are usually a one day job start to finish.
What we check before quoting
Flat colour reads cheap in a room people actually look at.
What this floor has to put up with
Same durability as a standard build, the difference is purely optical. Metallic pigment moved by hand while the resin is open, so the pattern is never repeatable. That combination is what we specify against, and it is why a metallic epoxy job is quoted from the room rather than from a rate card.
Showrooms and front rooms where the floor is part of the pitch. One visit, one day, then 48 hours before the car goes back on.
Living with the floor afterwards
Snow and road salt tracked in should be rinsed off rather than left to dry. Salt is more aggressive to the concrete than to the coating.
A coated floor can be repaired in place. Damage gets ground back locally, rebuilt and blended, which is not possible with tile or with polished concrete.
From Laurel we cover south Mississippi, the coast, coastal Alabama and St. Tammany Parish. If you are inside about a hundred miles, we will come and look at the slab. See the areas we cover.
Questions we get asked
How quickly can this be done?
Grind in the morning, coat in the afternoon, walk on it that night.
Do you grind the floor first?
Metallic pigment moved by hand while the resin is open, so the pattern is never repeatable. The first hour on site is spent on the concrete, not the colour.
What kind of wear can it take?
Same durability as a standard build, the difference is purely optical. We specify the build thickness against the actual use, not a standard sheet.
Where abouts do you work?
Yes. We cover south Mississippi, the coast, coastal Alabama and St. Tammany Parish, roughly a hundred miles out from Laurel.
Who am I actually hiring?
The reason quality holds is that the family name is on every job.
Can I see the colour before deciding?
Yes. We bring the chip deck out and you pick the blend against your own light and your own walls. Colours read differently under LED, under a skylight and under a garage door that is half open, so choosing off a photograph is how people end up disappointed.
What if the floor is damp?
Moisture, contamination and surface profile are the three things that decide whether a floor lasts. Colour is the easy part and the only part most people ask about.
Do I need to reseal it?
A dust mop twice a week does more for the look of a floor than any product you can buy.
What stops it peeling?
The chip blend changes how a floor hides dirt. Multi-tone blends with some dark in them stay looking clean far longer than a single pale colour.
A quick call tells you more than a website can.
