A 2017 report on new Northgate homes said builders put them on raised slabs because of active Blackland clay. Our garage base coat is polyurea for that same ground.
Your local coating team
Irving builders have had to plan around the ground. In March 2017, D Magazine reported that new Northgate homes, among them the Enclave at Northgate and the Villas at Las Colinas, were going onto raised slabs because of active Blackland clay. Ground that swells after rain and contracts in dry spells keeps nudging a garage slab from season to season. That movement is why our residential base is polyurea, which Nick puts at roughly four times the flex of epoxy, and why existing cracks are filled before it goes down. No coating stops a slab from moving, and we will not tell you otherwise.
Age adds to it. Irving's median home was built in 1986, the 1980s produced more of the city's housing than any other decade at 23 percent, and about a third predates 1980. A garage floor that old has usually picked up oil stains and hairline cracks, and some carry paint or an old epoxy peeling at the tire lines. That layer has to be ground off completely before the polyurea can bond to the concrete.
Paperwork can come before install day. The Las Colinas association dates to 1973, and Valley Ranch runs Master, Residential and Commercial boards. Where a board reviews visible changes, Nick supplies the product and color information and the homeowner files it. With only about 38 percent of homes in the city owner-occupied, a rented house also needs the landlord's approval before we schedule.
The Garland shop is about 36 minutes and 24.3 miles away on the I-635 TEXpress lanes, an ordinary crew drive that does not change the quote.

Irving epoxy flooringBuilt around local conditions
About 23 percent of homes here went up in the 1980s, and the median home dates to 1986. A garage slab that age has usually picked up oil stains, hairline cracks and sometimes paint or an old epoxy. The crew grinds those off and fills the cracks first, so the polyurea base coat bonds to sound concrete.
Dallas County sits on Blackland Prairie clay that swells when wet and shrinks as it dries. A 2017 D Magazine report on new homes at Northgate described builders putting them on elevated slabs because of that soil. Slabs here move a little every season. Nick picked a polyurea base for that reason and puts it at about four times more flexible than epoxy.
Las Colinas has had a property association since 1973. The Valley Ranch Association runs separate Master, Residential and Commercial boards. If your association reviews exterior or visible changes, such as a coated front porch, we can provide product and color information for the application. Filing it stays with you, because the rules are your board's.
Only about 38 percent of Irving homes are owner-occupied. For the owned houses, the project usually starts with a homeowner who wants the garage to match the house, or a workshop garage with cracks and stains bare concrete will not hide. Landlords and associations bring a different job: balconies and parking decks that need a waterproof coating.
Reliable local support
Irving is about 36 minutes from our Garland shop outside rush hour. Daytime traffic takes longer. We confirm your address and current appointment options rather than promising an unverified arrival or lead time.
Nick sees your Irving concrete in person. Size, age, stains, existing coatings and daily use shape the recommendation, and your written quote explains the preparation needed.
Qualifying residential flake systems include a 15-year written warranty. Ask Nick to explain coverage and exclusions for the specific surfaces on your quote; do not assume every outdoor or commercial system carries the same terms.

Helpful local answers
Irving garage coatings are priced per floor after Nick's free visit, with one written number before scheduling. Size sets the starting point and slab condition moves it: a 1980s garage with hairline cracks, oil and maybe an old epoxy coat needs more grinding than a newer one. Crack filling is included rather than billed as repair. We do not publish prices. For your own figure, call (214) 550-9809 or send the form with a note about any old epoxy.
All of it. Our crews drive the I-635 TEXpress lanes from Garland, roughly 24.3 miles and 36 minutes. Irving garage quotes reach Valley Ranch north of the freeway, Las Colinas neighborhoods such as University Hills, Cottonwood Valley and Hackberry Creek, and the older parts of town in between. The crew comes from Garland for the estimate and the install, since we have no local office. Tell us the neighborhood when you call (214) 550-9809, so Nick can plan the drive.
About two days beyond install day. Most Irving garages are ground, filled and coated in one visit, though a 1980s slab with an old epoxy to remove can make for a longer day. Light foot traffic is fine by the next morning, roughly 12 hours on; heavy storage returns at 24 hours and parking at 48. Nick can line up the dates with you at (214) 550- 9809 once he has seen the slab.
That the coating flexes but cannot stop the slab underneath from moving. Irving sits on active Blackland clay, and a 2017 report on Northgate new homes described builders raising slabs because of it. Our polyurea base gives with small movement and existing cracks get filled, but a new crack can still form later. Nick will show you what he sees in your garage before quoting. To have Nick look at the cracks in person, call (214) 550-9809.
Call our Garland office and we come look at the garage floor. On moving clay, an Irving slab can open a new crack after coating, and the 15-year written warranty is where that conversation starts. Our own installers make the trip, about 36 minutes each way, with no subcontractor involved. Photos of the area help us plan, so send them with a note or call (214) 550-9809.
On 1980s Irving garage floors, expect tire stains, oil, hairline cracks, and old paint or epoxy coming loose under the tires. With the city's median home built in 1986, many slabs have carried cars for close to 40 years. Each of these is ground, filled or stripped during prep inside the coating job, at no separate repair charge. Something odd on yours, like a patch or a stain that will not lift? Describe it at (214) 550-9809.
Yes, with the product and color information; the application itself stays with you. The Las Colinas owners association was formed in 1973, and Valley Ranch keeps separate Master, Residential and Commercial boards, so ask yours whether a garage floor needs review at all. If it does, Nick gets you the details before install day, and we schedule once approval is in. Request the product sheet with your Irving estimate at (214) 550-9809.
Nick marks the cracks, measures the slab and writes one price before you decide.
