What we install here
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.
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.
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.
The systems people ask about most
Full flake
Full flake broadcast means chip thrown to refusal, so the floor is a continuous layer of vinyl rather than a base coat with decoration on it. That is what gives the texture its grip and what stops the colour wearing through. More on full flake.
Metallic
Metallic pigment is moved by hand while the resin is still open, so no two floors are the same. That is the appeal and it also means the installer matters more than the product. More on metallic.
Polished concrete
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. More on polished concrete.
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.
Sunlight through a garage door will fade a cheap floor unevenly along the door line. UV-stable topcoats exist precisely for that.
Sheds and outbuildings on slab are worth coating if they are being used for anything beyond storage. Unsealed concrete in an outbuilding is the dustiest floor most people own.
What Scott County jobs usually involve
A fair amount of our work around here starts as a phone call about dust. Unsealed concrete sheds fine powder constantly, it gets into everything stored in the garage, and no amount of sweeping fixes it because the floor itself is the source.
We grind, coat and topcoat in one visit on most residential jobs.
Church halls, small offices and community buildings turn up in most towns we work in, and those are almost always scheduled around a calendar rather than around us.

Living with the floor
Warehouse floors want a scrubber with the right pad, not the most aggressive one available.
The honest maintenance answer is that there is almost none, and that is most of why people choose it.

Commercial and industrial work in Scott County
A lot of the calls we take start with somebody having tried a big-box garage floor kit. Those sit on top of sealed concrete and peel, and the removal is more work than the original job would have been.
Pool surrounds are seasonal work here. The concrete gets hot underfoot and slick when wet, and a textured coating with a cooler pigment fixes both.
Clear topcoats are not all clear. Some amber noticeably within a year indoors under LED light. We use ones that do not.
Where we are coming from
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.
Full list on the service areas page.
How the day runs
The slab sets the spec, not the brochure. The grinder and the extraction come in first, and the opening stretch of any job is dust control rather than visible progress.
Once the slab is open we chase the cracks, take down the high spots and remove whatever was on the floor before. The whole system goes down in one visit on most homes.
The reason quality holds is that the family name is on every job.
Keep grit off it and a coated floor lasts. Grit under a tyre or a boot is abrasive, and abrasion is the only thing that genuinely wears a good topcoat. Blends are on the finishes page and finished work is in the gallery.
Scott County questions
Which towns in Scott County do you cover?
All of them. Sebastopol.
How far will you travel?
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.
Residential and commercial?
Both. Garages and patios through to kitchens, warehouses and clinics.
How long does an install take?
Residential floors are usually a one day job start to finish.
What about the slab condition?
Some floors do not need coating at all. If the slab is sound and the use is light, polishing or sealing the concrete itself is cheaper and lasts longer. We will say so.
