We plan every epoxy flooring job around the business that has to keep running on top of it. A shop that loses its bays for a week loses a week of billing, so the first thing we work out with you is how long the floor can be out of service and how the job can be split to fit that window.
Commercial epoxy flooring is a working surface, not a finish, and good epoxy flooring is chosen for the work it does. We ask what drives across the floor, what gets spilled on it, how it gets cleaned and how cold the building gets in January. Those answers pick the system. The colour comes last.
Most of our larger jobs run in phases, at night or over a weekend. That way a warehouse keeps shipping and a service shop keeps its bays open while the epoxy flooring goes down one zone at a time. You can read more about how we plan and run a job, or send us the details of your building and we will tell you what we would recommend.
Each floor is built for the traffic, chemicals and temperatures it will actually see.
Commercial epoxy flooring gives offices, retail stores, showrooms, clinics and lunch rooms in Red Deer a seamless floor that is easy to clean and stands up to daily traffic. We install it with as little disruption to your business as possible, often after hours.

Industrial epoxy flooring for Red Deer plants, fabrication shops and oilfield equipment builders is built thick enough to take dropped steel, rolling loads and hydraulic oil. We match the build to the traffic, so the heaviest bays get the heaviest floor.

Warehouse floor coating seals the slab, stops concrete dust and gives forklifts a tough, bright surface in distribution centres and storage buildings. We coat the floor in sections so the warehouse keeps shipping while the work is done.

Shop floor coating protects service bays, truck shops, wash bays and equipment shops from oil, slush, road salt and heavy tires. We build a thick, textured floor that is easy to clean and gives sure footing when it is wet.

Commercial kitchen flooring gives restaurants, bakeries, breweries, meat plants and packaging rooms a seamless floor that takes hot water, grease, steam and daily sanitizing. For most wet kitchens and food areas we install urethane cement rather than standard epoxy.

Chemical resistant floor coating protects the slab in drum storage rooms, glycol and fuel areas, battery charging rooms and labs. We seal the floor and build a containment curb or cove so a spill stays inside the area.

Warehouse floor marking lays out forklift lanes, pedestrian walkways, storage bays, hatched danger zones and loading areas in warehouses, plants and shops. We paint the lines on an existing floor, or build them right into a new epoxy floor so they last for years.

Concrete floor repair fixes cracks, broken joints, spalled patches, pitting and uneven slabs in shops, warehouses and commercial buildings. We repair the concrete so it can be coated, or so it can go back into service on its own.

Garage floor coating gives homeowners a tough, easy to clean floor that stands up to winter slush, road salt and hot tires. We install flake and solid colour systems with a polyaspartic topcoat, usually in one or two days.

A site walk is the fastest way to a firm price for epoxy flooring, and it costs you nothing. It usually takes about thirty minutes for a shop or an office, and longer for a large warehouse or plant.
A site walk takes about 30 minutes.
That is the usual time for a shop or office. The visit costs nothing, and a written quote follows.

Spills stay on top. Oil, coolant, glycol and wash water sit on a sealed surface until somebody wipes them up.
Epoxy flooring cleans faster. A smooth system can be scrubbed, squeegeed or washed down in a fraction of the time bare concrete takes.
The building gets brighter. A light coloured epoxy flooring system bounces overhead light back up, which makes aisles and work areas easier to see.
Traffic routes stay visible. Warehouse floor marking can be built into the epoxy flooring so forklift lanes and walkways do not wear away in a season.
The slab lasts longer, because properly built epoxy flooring takes the wear from tires, pallets and dropped tools so the concrete underneath does not.
We phase the work around your shifts and shutdowns, and the schedule is written into the quote.
Winter grit is the hardest thing on a Red Deer shop floor, and we build epoxy flooring to stand up to it. Trucks roll into heated bays carrying ice, gravel and road salt, and the slush melts into a gritty paste that grinds at the floor under every tire.
That is why shop floor coating for a service bay gets a thicker build with a broadcast aggregate, not a thin roll on coat. The aggregate gives the tires something to grip, and the extra thickness gives the grit something to wear through before it ever reaches the concrete.
A cold slab is the most common reason an epoxy flooring job fails in Central Alberta, and we plan around it. Most epoxy needs the concrete to sit at about ten degrees or warmer to cure properly, and an unheated warehouse in Red Deer can sit well below that from November to March.
We measure the slab temperature before we start, not the air temperature. If the building needs to be heated for a day or two ahead of the install, that goes in the quote. Where heating is not practical, we can use faster curing polyaspartic or polyurea materials that tolerate colder conditions.
Most Red Deer slabs sit on glacial till and clay, and clay swells and shrinks as its moisture changes. The result is cracks that open, close and sometimes lift one side higher than the other.
We repair every crack and joint before the epoxy flooring goes down. Moving joints are filled with a semi rigid filler so they can still move, and cracks that have stopped moving are cut open and filled flush. Coating over a crack without repairing it simply puts a crack in the new floor. Badly broken or uneven slabs go through concrete floor repair first.
Red Deer builds a large share of the equipment used in Alberta oil and gas, and those shops are hard on a floor. Steel gets dropped, welding slag lands hot, and loaders and pickers roll across the same lanes every day.
Industrial epoxy flooring for these shops is built thicker and harder than anything you would put in an office. We often pair it with a urethane topcoat in the bays that see hydraulic oil, and a slip resistant texture where floors get wet.
Distribution space along the QEII and through Gasoline Alley runs forklifts all day, and a warehouse floor coating has to go down without stopping that. We coat warehouses in sections, keep a route open for shipping, and hand each zone back on a written schedule.
The heaviest traffic lanes and the dock aprons get a thicker build than the racked storage areas, so the money goes where the wear is.
Food plant and commercial kitchen floors need a surface that is smooth, non absorbent and able to stand up to constant cleaning and sanitizing. That is what federal food safety rules ask for, and standard epoxy is often the wrong answer in a hot washdown room.
For meat plants, commercial kitchens and packaging rooms we install urethane cement, which takes hot water, steam and fats without cracking or lifting. You can read more on our commercial kitchen flooring page.
Drum storage, glycol rooms and battery charging areas need a floor that holds a spill in place. Chemical resistant floor coating seals the slab and turns up the walls or over a curb so a leak stays inside the room.
The petrochemical plants east of the city at Joffre and Prentiss support a long chain of supply and service shops across Central Alberta, and many of them store fluids that will attack a standard floor. We match the coating to the chemicals you actually store.
Two epoxy flooring quotes for the same building can look nothing alike, and the cheaper one usually leaves something out. The difference is almost always in the preparation, the thickness, or the number of coats.
Every quote we write names the preparation method, the products, the number of coats, the finished thickness, the crack and joint repairs, and the hours the floor is out of service. That way you can hold the quote up beside any other and see exactly what you are paying for.
The ranges below are current Canadian market prices for epoxy flooring. They are here to help you budget, and your written quote after the site walk is the real number. You can also try the cost estimator on this page for a quick range.
A commercial epoxy flooring system for an office, store or showroom usually runs about six to twelve dollars per square foot installed. Warehouse and heavy shop floors usually run about eight to fifteen dollars. Urethane cement for food plants and washdown rooms often runs about ten to eighteen dollars. Garage floor coating usually runs about six to twelve dollars.
Preparation can move those numbers. A sound slab needs light grinding, while a cracked or contaminated slab needs more repair, and a slab with high moisture readings may need a vapour barrier primer. Most jobs carry a minimum charge of about twenty five hundred dollars to cover equipment and setup.
We walk the building with you, test the slab for moisture, and agree the shutdown window and the phasing plan.
You get a written epoxy flooring quote that names the system, the thickness, the repairs, the square footage and the hours each area is out of service.
We grind the slab with diamond tooling and vacuum the dust at the source, so the epoxy flooring has an open, clean surface to bond to.
We repair cracks and joints, then install the primer, the body coats and the topcoat, with line marking added where your layout calls for it.
We walk the finished epoxy flooring with you and give you written return to service times for foot traffic, vehicles and forklifts.
These are the kinds of floors we install for businesses across Central Alberta.

Red Deer is the third largest city in Alberta and sits halfway between Calgary and Edmonton on the QEII, which makes it the service centre for all of Central Alberta. We install epoxy flooring across the city, from the Edgar, Northlands and Riverside industrial areas to Queens Business Park and the shops along Gaetz Avenue and 67 Street.
Outside the city we cover Gasoline Alley, Blackfalds, Sylvan Lake, Lacombe, Penhold, Innisfail and Springbrook, along with the Blindman Industrial Park and the plant service shops toward Joffre. If your building is farther out and the job is a good size, contact us and ask.
Send a few details and we will call to book a free site walk. You can also reach us by phone at +1 (587) 325-0591.
Most commercial epoxy flooring is ready for foot traffic in about twenty four hours and for vehicles and forklifts in about three to seven days, with the exact times set by the product and how warm the slab is. Faster curing materials can return a floor to light use the same day. Your quote lists the times for every area.
Yes. Most of our warehouse and shop work is done at night, over weekends or during a planned shutdown, and larger floors are coated in phases so the building keeps running.
You only have to clear the area being coated at that time. We work zone by zone, so racking, stock and equipment can be moved from one section into the next as the job moves across the floor.
Peeling coating has to come off first, because a new coat can never be stronger than the layer underneath. We grind the failed coating down to sound concrete, find out why it failed, and fix that cause before the new epoxy flooring goes down.
A smooth gloss coat loses grip once water is on it, so we add a slip resistant aggregate in wet areas, ramps, wash bays and walkways. The texture is chosen to suit the area, from a light grit in an office to a coarse broadcast in a wash bay.
