Epoxy Flooring in Chambliss, TX

A Small Place With a Long Name on the Map

Chambliss is named for Charles Chambliss, an early settler, and is also known as Stoney Point. The Handbook of Texas places it on FM 545, about seven miles northeast of McKinney and three miles from Anna. It had a post office from 1898 to 1903, and a school, church, gin and two stores around 1900.

It has stayed small ever since, with about two dozen residents counted for most of the last century. What it does have is acreage, and acreage tends to come with garages, shops and barns.

Floors on Rural Property

Rural concrete has its own story. Shop and barn floors may have been poured without a vapor barrier, carry years of oil and equipment wear, or have rough, uneven finishes. That all affects the prep. A moisture check and thorough grinding come first.

Once the slab is ready, an epoxy floor with texture suits a working shop, and a flake garage system suits an attached garage. If the doors stay open to the sun, a polyaspartic topcoat helps prevent yellowing.

Planning the Work

Out in the country, the floor is often far from the house, and power, water and access all matter on the day of the job. Let us know if the building has electricity, how a work vehicle can reach it and whether the floor will be clear. Those details make the visit go smoothly.

Animals and dust are also worth thinking about. A barn or shop that is open on one side lets dust and insects settle on wet coatings, so the work is planned for calm conditions, and the building may need to stay closed while the coating sets.
