Epoxy Garage Floors in Humble, TX

Epoxy garage floors on Humble's older slabs

Humble is named for Pleasant Smith Humble, who opened the first post office in his home. Oil was first discovered there in 1904. By 1905, the Humble oilfield was the largest producing oilfield in Texas. The town was also home to Humble Oil and Refining Company, a predecessor of Exxon.

Downtown Humble sits on a salt dome, and the Humble Museum stands at 601 Higgins Street. The Census counts 16,489 people in the city limits. With a median build year of 1983, about half the homes there are more than 40 years old.

A garage slab that old has had decades to crack and soak up oil drips. Our crews diamond grind every slab to take off old paint or sealer and open fresh concrete. Cracks get filled and joints get repaired before the base coat goes down. A flake epoxy floor then hides the small flaws an older slab still shows.

Which garage floor fits a newer Atascocita home?

Atascocita is an unincorporated community in Harris County. The Census counts 93,926 people there and 28,765 detached houses, close to nine in ten housing units. Master-planned communities include Eagle Springs, Walden on Lake Houston, The Groves, The Bridges on Lake Houston and Balmoral. Lakeshore and Summerwood are nearby Houston communities.

Across ZIPs 77338, 77346 and 77396, the median home was built between 2001 and 2004. Those three ZIPs hold about 48,000 detached houses. We install floors for about 200 custom home builders in the Houston area. On a new build, our crews schedule around the builder's other trades.

Full flake over an epoxy base is the most common garage finish we install. Our recommended build tops that base with a clear topcoat, and a polyaspartic floor coating topcoat does not yellow in the sun. A polyurea floor coating is another topcoat choice, since it stays flexible and cures fast. For a media room or a collector's garage, a metallic epoxy floor comes out one of a kind.

Lake Houston, Hurricane Harvey and moisture in Humble slabs

Atascocita is bordered on its eastern shore by Lake Houston, a 12,000-acre lake. The San Jacinto River also runs near Humble. During Hurricane Harvey in 2017, some of the hardest hit flood areas around Houston ran from Humble to Lake Houston. The National Hurricane Center's Harvey report named Atascocita Shores and Walden among those neighborhoods.

Moisture vapor coming up through the slab is the number one reason coatings fail around Houston. If your garage has taken water, that is one more reason to test first. We test the slab before we quote, and a high reading means a moisture vapor barrier primer goes down first. Our post on why epoxy floors peel in Houston covers the test.

Houston air stays humid most of the year, and the summer sun is strong. For patio coatings, we start with an epoxy base and finish with a UV stable topcoat, polyaspartic or a UV stable polyurea. Polyaspartic cures in high humidity and is UV stable, so it holds its color outdoors.

Commercial floors off I-69 and FM 1960

An exit ramp off Interstate 69 (U.S. 59) serves downtown Humble. Deerbrook Mall, a shopping mall, is also in Humble. Atascocita lies north and south of FM 1960. If you run a business along these roads, we build the floor around how it gets used.

Auto shops and dealership service bays get a commercial system, typically 2 to 3 millimeters thick. Warehouse floors can take safety striping and walkways, and a custom logo can go into the floor. Restaurants and bars can take a seamless commercial kitchen floor, coved where it meets the walls. Ramps and loading areas can take an anti slip floor coating with quartz or aluminum oxide.

From our Memorial office, Humble is about 23 miles to the northeast, straight line. Our four crews work weekdays across Greater Houston. Epoxy One has put down more than 3.5 million square feet of floor coatings in the area.
