We're a flooring contractor based in Brownsville, TX, and we coat, polish and resurface concrete for homes and businesses in Primera. Garages, patios and indoor floors are most of what we do here.
(956) 505-5381
Primera sits in south-central Cameron County, in the Rio Grande Valley near the Gulf Coast, and the floors we see here show it. Garage slabs get hot-tire marks and peeling store-bought paint, patios fade and turn slick in the sun, and indoor concrete can sweat when humid air meets a cool floor or moisture works up from below.
Most calls from Primera are for garages, patios and indoor floors, plus businesses that need a floor redone without closing for long. The coating is the easy part. Getting the concrete ready for it is where the real work is.
Send the form or call, and we'll reply within one business day to set a time. I come out to your Primera property, look at the slab, ask how you use the space and write up what I'd do and why. The estimate is free, with no pressure and no obligation.
(956) 505-5381Here we mostly coat garage floors, refinish patios and pool decks that have faded in the sun, and grind indoor slabs, along with coatings for shops and storefronts that can't close for long. Polished concrete flooring works well inside when the slab is sound, because there's no coating on top to peel. Every service we offer is listed below.
Building permits in Primera come from the City of Primera's Building Inspections Division. Its list names patios and swimming pools among the work it permits, and its rule reaches repairs and improvements to any building, so before your floor goes on the schedule we check what applies at your address. If you need a permit, we tell you and work through the paperwork with you, and the job waits until it's issued. We're licensed and insured. If you're adding garage lights or outlets while the floor is clear, that wiring needs an electrician licensed by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, and Primera has its own business license ordinance you can ask the city about.
What moves the price here is mostly the slab. Primera is growing, so we work on newer concrete that may still be giving off moisture and on older floors under layers of paint, sealer or oil, and each of those changes how much grinding and repair comes before the coating. The schedule turns on clearing the space, the coating's cure and any permit, and after I've seen your floor I write up what I'd do and why. We do the same work up the road in La Feria and over in Harlingen.
We're licensed and insured, and I've run this business out of Brownsville since 2020, after years of scheduling crews for another company. I learned the trade myself on grinders and coating crews, so I know what a floor needs before it's coated. Your satisfaction, guaranteed.
If your concrete has too much moisture or damage for the floor you have in mind, I'll say so up front and tell you what will work instead. I'd rather talk you out of a system than put down one your slab can't hold.
Before install day you'll know what to move out and who's coming. Our crew lead and installers do the prep and the install, and I stop by while it's going on, so you've got one person to ask. Call (956) 505-5381 to get started.
Your price comes down to how much prep the slab needs, how big the floor is and which coating you choose. A plain solid-color coat costs less than a decorative flake or metallic finish, and a bare, sound slab costs less to do than one with old paint or deep cracks. After I've seen your floor, I write up what I'd do and why.
Clear the floor completely, including shelves, freezers and anything stored along the walls, because our crew grinds right up to the edges. Before install day we'll tell you what has to move and how long cars and foot traffic need to stay off, since that depends on the coating's cure. If something heavy can't move, tell me at the estimate so we can plan around it.
Peeling usually comes down to prep, because the coating went onto concrete that was too smooth, too dirty or still holding old sealer, so it never bonded. Moisture coming up through the slab and hot tires pulling at a thin coat are the other usual causes. That's why our crew grinds the slab open and fills cracks before anything goes down.
Outdoors you usually want a UV-stable topcoat with some grit mixed in, because the sun yellows plain epoxy and wet concrete by a pool gets slick. Polyaspartic and urethane-based systems tend to hold their color better outside, but the right pick depends on how sound your slab is. We'll walk the area with you and say what we'd use and why.
The city fines anyone it finds working without a permit it requires, and the permit then has to be bought at twice the cost. That's why we check before your job goes on the schedule instead of after. You can see the kinds of work the city lists on its building permits page.
