Residential garages
More homes were built in Walker in the 1990s than in any other decade. Garage slabs from that era are usually structurally sound, so the job is mostly about prep: removing any old sealer, repairing control-joint cracks, and grinding to the profile the coating manufacturer specifies.
Shops, warehouses, and commercial floors
Walker has a lot of commercial and light-industrial space. If you're asking about a shop, showroom, or warehouse floor instead of a home garage, give installers more detail. Note the square footage, forklift or vehicle traffic, chemicals used, and whether the space must stay open during the work. Commercial systems are often thicker, and slip resistance, chemical resistance, and cure time drive the spec. See epoxy flooring for shops and commercial spaces.
Questions to ask Walker installers
- For a commercial floor: what thickness and system do you recommend for our traffic, and what's the return-to-service time?
- For a home garage: what grit or profile will you grind to, and how will you control dust?
- Is the warranty from you, the manufacturer, or both?
