Garage Floor Coating Prep for Plano's 30- to 40-Year-Old Slabs
Half of Plano's homes went up in two decades. Census estimates put 21.6 percent of the city's housing in the 1980s and 28.6 percent in the 1990s, and the median build year is 1993. Sampled listings date Hunters Glen Nine to 1985, Whiffletree V to 1986 and Glen Heather to 1990. A garage floor from that run has carried cars for 30 to 40 years, and it shows it: oil soaked into the pores, dark tire marks where the car stops, and hairline cracks across the slab.
Those floors shift the install day toward prep. Grinding and crack fill take a larger share of the hours than on a 2000s slab, because the grinder has to cut past stained concrete to clean, open material, and every crack is filled before any polyurea touches it. Once the slab is ready, the three coating layers go on at their normal pace.
Some of these houses park from the back. Rear-entry garages off an alley show up in Hunters Glen Nine and Deerfield listings, and one Deerfield home has a three-car tandem layout, with a third bay set behind another. On an alley-loaded garage the crew plans its set-up from the alley side, and Nick measures a tandem bay for its full depth.
From our Garland shop to the Plano Municipal Center is about 9.1 miles, roughly 22 minutes at evening rush hour. West Plano near Willow Bend and Legacy is a longer drive that we have not timed, so give us a cross street when you book. That tandem third bay adds depth to the measured square footage.
