We're a flooring contractor based in Brownsville, and we work across San Benito on garages, patios, indoor floors and business floors. Every job starts with a hard look at the slab before anyone talks about coatings.
(956) 505-5381
San Benito is a short drive up from our base in Brownsville, and the calls here look a lot like the ones at home. Most are garages with years of oil drips and tire marks, patios that get hot all summer, and older indoor slabs under carpet or tile that someone finally wants to see.
Weather affects these jobs more than anything else. Humid summers and storm season can leave moisture in and under a slab, and a coating laid over a damp slab is the one most likely to lift, so moisture is the first thing we look for here.
Call (956) 505-5381 or send the form, and we'll reply within one business day. I'll set a time to come out to your San Benito property for a free estimate, check the slab, ask how you use the space and write up what I'd do and why. There's no pressure and no obligation.
(956) 505-5381Garages are a big part of it, and garage floor coatings cover the oil stains and dusty concrete we find in them. When carpet or tile comes up and the slab underneath is worth keeping, polished concrete or stained concrete can make it the finished floor. Patios and pool decks that bake in the sun get pool deck coatings and resurfacing. Shops, warehouses and storefronts get commercial and industrial epoxy floor coatings, planned so you're closed as little as possible. Every one of them starts with concrete grinding and surface preparation, because a coating only holds as well as the slab under it.
Permits in San Benito go through the city's Permits and Licensing office, and the city wants applications in before work begins. A permit is issued only after the plans are reviewed and approved by every department that has to sign off, so when one's needed, that review sets the earliest start date, not our calendar. The city also requires every contractor working inside city limits to register and renew that registration each year, so it's fair to ask any contractor whether they're current. We're licensed and insured. We check with the city about your address before work starts, and if your job needs a permit, I'll tell you and we'll work through the paperwork with you.
The price here turns on the same things it does anywhere. That means the size of the floor, how much grinding the slab needs, whether there's an old coating or sealer to strip, how many cracks need filling and which system you pick. The schedule turns on the permit if there is one, the weather and how quickly the space can be cleared. For your own figure, I'll look at your slab and write up what I'd do and why. We do the same work in Cameron Park, Harlingen and the other cities around Brownsville.
I come out to every estimate myself, because I spent years watching crews get sent to floors nobody had looked at. I check the slab, ask how you use the space and write up what I'd do and why before anyone's scheduled.
If your concrete can't hold the system you have in mind, I'll say so up front and talk you out of it. A simpler floor that bonds beats a fancier one that peels, and we've been making that call since 2020.
Our crew lead and installers grind the surface, fill cracks and clean the slab before any coating goes down, because that's where floors fail. I stop by while the work is going on, so you can always reach someone who saw the slab first.
We're licensed and insured, and you'll know what's coming before the crew shows up, from what needs to be moved to when to stay off the floor. Your satisfaction, guaranteed. Call (956) 505-5381 or use the form to plan your San Benito floor.
Possibly, and it's the city's call. The city's construction requirements call for permits on remodels and repairs, along with new construction, additions and demolitions, and the application has to be in before work starts. That list doesn't spell out floor coatings, so we check with the city about your job before we begin and tell you what we find.
You can email it to sbpermits@cityofsanbenito.com or drop it off in person at 400 N. Travis Street. The city's permit applications page has what you need to file. Some plans may need to be drawn by an engineer or architect, and if your floor job needs a permit, we'll work through it with you.
The cost depends on the size of your garage, how much prep the slab needs and which system fits how you use the space. A cracked slab with an old sealer costs more to get ready than a clean one, and a full flake or metallic finish costs more than a clear sealer. I'll write up what I'd do and why after I've seen the slab.
Cameron County puts hurricane season at June 1 through November 30. Rain and heavy humidity are hard on fresh coatings, especially outdoors on patios and pool decks. We plan those jobs around the forecast and would rather move a date than coat a wet slab.
Get the cars out and clear everything off the floor, including anything stored along the walls that you can move. I'll go over exactly what has to be moved during the estimate, so nobody's guessing the morning the crew shows up. If something heavy can't come out, tell me early and we'll plan around it.
Most of the time it's the prep. A coating laid over a slick, dirty or damp slab, or over an old sealer, doesn't get a real bond. That's why we grind the surface and check for moisture first, and if your slab can't hold a system, I'll tell you before we start.
