Garage Floor Coating
in Southfield, MI.

Southfield was mostly farmland until after World War II, then grew from about 18,500 residents in 1950 to more than 75,000 by 1980 — it was the fastest-growing city in Michigan in the 1960s. Census estimates show the result: roughly 19% of Southfield's housing was built in the 1950s, about 24% in the 1960s, and another 26% in the 1970s, so close to seven in ten homes date from 1950 to 1979. Fewer than 7% have been built since 2000. That's the era of Northland Gardens, the 117-home mid-century modern ranch district platted in 1956 between Southfield Road and the Lodge; Plumbrooke Estates, the cul-de-sac neighborhood north of Nine Mile and west of Evergreen, platted in 1960; and the split-levels and International Style homes of Washington Heights. Southfield's postwar builders sold one-level living, patios, hobby rooms, and attached garages.

Those garages are now pushing sixty or seventy years old. A 1950s or '60s slab has absorbed decades of oil, road salt, and freeze-thaw cycles — pitting at the apron, spalled control joints, spider cracks, and low spots that hold water. Many have been patched more than once, and the patches rarely match. These floors need real diamond grinding and hand repair before any coating goes down, and that's exactly how we prep them. We also coat basements, porches, and patios on the same homes, and the shared garages and entry floors of Southfield's many condominium and townhome communities.

And Southfield garages still work hard. Bikes and walking shoes for the riverside trail at Valley Woods Nature Preserve and the three-and-a-third-mile Front Lawn Loop at the Civic Center, fishing gear for Carpenter Lake, golf clubs for Beech Woods and Evergreen Hills, hockey bags for the Sports Arena, and the daily commute to Southfield's 27 million square feet of offices along Northwestern Highway and the Lodge. When the garage is how everyone comes and goes, a sealed, bright floor is the upgrade you notice every day.
