Metallic Epoxy Flooring in Kennewick, WA
A Finish Where the Installer Is the Variable
Metallic epoxy is the one system we install where the concrete has to be right before the conversation about appearance even starts. It is a self-leveling resin carrying suspended metallic pigment, and it moves as it cures, which is what produces the depth and the marbled pattern. That same self-leveling behaviour means it flows to low spots. A slab with a dip near the drain or a hump where a previous repair sat proud will show that as a pooling of colour, permanently. So the first step on any metallic floor is checking flatness, and where the slab is not flat enough we either grind it down or level it first, and that is real work that has to be in the scope from the start. The finish suits showrooms, retail floors, offices, and feature garages, and in Kennewick it is most often specified for spaces where customers actually stand on the floor and look at it. It is worth being straight about the trade-off. Metallic is the least repairable system we install, because a patch cannot be blended into a poured pattern. A damaged section shows. For a working shop floor or a warehouse aisle, a flake broadcast is the more sensible choice and we will say so.
The sequence is flatness survey, grinding and levelling where needed, moisture test, priming, the metallic pour, and a clear protective topcoat. Every metallic floor gets a sample panel first, poured on your own slab rather than shown on a board, because the pattern depends on the room temperature and the installer's technique on the day. You receive the pigment blend, the base colour, and the topcoat specification in writing, along with a maintenance regime, since the clear coat is what takes the wear.

Comprehensive Epoxy Flooring Services in Kennewick
Tailored to Your Needs
Ten services, from a single-bay garage coating to a warehouse slab or a winery crush pad. Each one starts the same way, by reading the concrete and establishing what it actually needs, then choosing the system that matches the traffic, the exposure, and the schedule the building runs on.
A commercial coating specification set by traffic, chemical exposure, and the hours the building runs.
Repair work that first establishes why the existing coating failed, then fixes that cause.
Industrial floor systems specified around wheel loading, joint movement, and washdown exposure.
Decorative finishes chosen against slab condition, because the concrete limits what is achievable.
A garage system specified against hot-tire pickup, UV exposure, and slab moisture.
A poured metallic finish where slab flatness and installer technique set the outcome.
A fast-curing topcoat that holds colour under UV and returns a floor to service quickly.
A new wearing surface bonded to a slab that is structurally sound but visually finished.
A below-grade floor system chosen after moisture testing, because vapor pressure governs it.
A washdown-rated floor system with coved detailing and slip resistance set to a wet kitchen.

Frequently Asked Questions
Epoxy Flooring can be complex, and we’re here to provide answers to common questions. Here are some frequently asked questions from our clients.
Frequently Asked Questions about epoxy flooring Kennewick WA
How much does epoxy flooring cost in Kennewick, WA?
There is no single price for an epoxy floor in Kennewick. Cost follows the square footage, the condition of the slab underneath, how much crack and joint repair the concrete needs first, and which coating system the room actually calls for. A clean two-car garage and a warehouse slab with spalling and old coating residue are not comparable jobs. We measure and test the floor, then price the scope we found.
Can epoxy floors be installed year-round in Kennewick?
Yes, with the caveat that the slab temperature governs the schedule, not the calendar. Kennewick winters run cold enough that an unheated garage slab can sit below the cure range for the coating, which either slows the cure or stops it. Summer heat does the opposite and shortens working time. We check slab temperature and dew point on the day, and in cold months we either heat the space or move to a system rated for lower temperatures.
How do I maintain an epoxy floor?
Sweep or dust-mop grit off regularly, because the Columbia Basin sends a lot of fine dust indoors and grit under a tire or a pallet jack is what actually scratches a coating. Wash with a neutral-pH cleaner rather than a degreaser. Avoid dragging steel across the surface, and put a mat under any vehicle that gets driven in hot. A garage floor treated this way stays serviceable for many years before it needs a recoat.
What is the best floor coating for a Kennewick garage?
For most Kennewick garages the answer is a ground and primed slab with an epoxy build coat and a polyaspartic or polyurea topcoat. That combination handles hot-tire pickup, resists the UV that comes through an open overhead door, and cures fast enough to return the space to service quickly. A single-coat epoxy is cheaper and will do in a low-traffic bay. Which one suits your garage depends on what you park and how much sun the door lets in.
What are the types of epoxy flooring?
The common systems are solid-color epoxy, flake or chip broadcast systems, quartz broadcast, metallic epoxy, and self-leveling epoxy. Above those sit polyaspartic and polyurea topcoats and, for wet commercial rooms, urethane cement. They differ in thickness, slip resistance, chemical resistance, and how much of the slab beneath they hide. The room decides which one fits, not the sample board.
How long does epoxy flooring last in a garage?
A properly prepared garage floor coating commonly lasts many years before it needs attention, and the deciding factor is almost always the preparation rather than the product. Coatings that fail early usually failed at the bond line because the slab was etched rather than ground, or because moisture was still moving up through the concrete. Traffic, hot tires, and how much direct sun the floor takes then set the pace of ordinary wear.
Frequently Asked Questions about Metallic Epoxy Flooring
How much does a metallic epoxy floor cost?
Metallic sits at the higher end of what we install, and the variable that moves the price most is not the pigment but the slab. A flat sound floor takes the pour directly. A slab needing levelling before it can be poured carries that preparation as a separate scope. We survey flatness first and price the two parts separately so you can see which is which.
Where does metallic epoxy work best?
Showrooms, retail floors, offices, and feature garages, meaning spaces where people look at the floor. It is less suited to working areas that take impact or that may need patching later, because a metallic pour cannot be spot repaired invisibly. For a shop or warehouse floor we would steer you toward a flake or quartz broadcast instead.
Does every metallic floor look the same?
No, and that is inherent to the system rather than a defect. The pattern comes from how the resin moves as it cures, which is affected by room temperature, the pour technique, and the slab itself. Two floors with identical pigment blends will differ. That is why we pour a sample panel on your concrete rather than showing you a board.
Can a metallic floor be repaired?
The clear topcoat can be refreshed, and that handles ordinary wear. Damage that reaches the metallic layer itself is the harder case, because a repair cannot be blended into a poured pattern and the patch will be visible. This is the main reason we ask what the room is used for before recommending metallic over a broadcast system.
