Print Shop Epoxy that survives the room
Ink, solvent and heavy presses. Most jobs need one day of our time and none of yours.
Ink lifts instead of staining.
What we actually install
Solvent-resistant build under point loads.
Concrete varies street to street around here, so we check. Press weight, pallets and ink spill.

Cure
We are in and out in a day on most garages, then the floor cures.
What the install actually looks like
Before anything is mixed we know what the floor is sitting on.
Prep is most of the work and all of the reason coatings last. 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. Solvent-resistant build under point loads.
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. A typical garage is a one day install. You are walking on it that evening.
Kevin started ICM in 2021. The team that keeps it going is Aaron Garner, Kyler Welch and Averie Garner. That matters on a print shop 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.
Aaron and his crew did a fantastic job, friendly and professional.Verified review
Other trades floors we coat
The slab decides the spec.
What we find under a print shop epoxy job
Where a floor has been patched repeatedly with different products, each patch behaves differently under a grinder and under resin. Sometimes the right call is removing the patches entirely.
Exterior concrete has UV and thermal cycling on top of everything else. Materials that are fine indoors amber and chalk outside, so exterior work gets a UV-stable topcoat as standard.
The system we specify
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.
We install Duraflex systems. The certification matters less than what it means in practice, which is that the product data is real, the cure windows are tested, and there is a manufacturer standing behind the spec rather than a generic resin bought on price.
Specified from the load, not a brochure.
Small floors, specific problems
A small commercial floor is not a scaled down warehouse. The problems are concentrated. One wet area, one chair that rotates in the same spot every day, one chemical that gets spilled constantly. Specifying the whole room for the worst square metre is usually cheaper than specifying it for the average and repairing the worst part later.
The other reality is that these rooms cannot close. A barbershop or a salon loses its income the day it shuts. That pushes the work to a single overnight or weekend install with a fast-cure system, which is entirely doable as long as it is planned that way from the start rather than discovered halfway through.
One visit, one day, then 48 hours before the car goes back on.
How we handle small commercial work
Ink, solvent and heavy presses.
What this floor has to put up with
Press weight, pallets and ink spill. Solvent-resistant build under point loads. That combination is what we specify against, and it is why a print shop epoxy job is quoted from the room rather than from a rate card.
Ink lifts instead of staining. Grind in the morning, coat in the afternoon, walk on it that night.
Living with the floor afterwards
If a crack appears in the slab years later, that is the concrete moving, not the coating failing. It can be chased and repaired without redoing the floor.
Warehouse floors want a scrubber with the right pad, not the most aggressive one available.
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.

Questions we get asked
What is the turnaround on print shop epoxy?
Most jobs need one day of our time and none of yours.
What does the first stage involve?
Solvent-resistant build under point loads. Preparation is the part customers never see and always pay for twice if it is skipped.
Will it hold up long term?
Press weight, pallets and ink spill. We specify the build thickness against the actual use, not a standard sheet.
Do you cover the whole Gulf Coast?
Yes. We cover south Mississippi, the coast, coastal Alabama and St. Tammany Parish, roughly a hundred miles out from Laurel.
Is the owner on site?
Kevin founded ICM Coating Masters in 2021 and still runs jobs himself.
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.
How do you deal with a poor slab?
Concrete keeps moving for years after it is poured, and it moves more near the coast where the ground is wet and sandy. That is why we detail edges and joints rather than laying one continuous rigid sheet and hoping.
What upkeep is involved?
Sunlight through a garage door will fade a cheap floor unevenly along the door line. UV-stable topcoats exist precisely for that.
Why specify a full system?
Polished concrete uses a densifier that reacts chemically with the slab, hardening it rather than coating it. There is nothing to peel because there is no film.
Call and describe the floor. We will know most of it from that.
