Epoxy Flooring in Deschutes River Woods, OR

Epoxy flooring in Deschutes River Woods takes a slab-by-slab approach, because few neighborhoods near Bend have homes this varied. The area was first planned as a hunting and trapping resort. In the 1960s the land was divided into parcels of one to five acres and rezoned for family homes. Houses went up over the following decades, so the garage on one lot might be fifty years old and the one next door five.

Steady growth over three decades

The census counted 2,373 people here in 1990, 4,631 in 2000, 5,077 in 2010 and 5,532 in 2020. Unlike a subdivision built all at once, this community filled in a few homes at a time. For us, that means no two estimates look alike.

What we see on older lots

• Detached garages and shops built separately from the house
• Thin or cracked slabs, sometimes poured by the owner
• Old paint, sealers or rubber mats glued down
• Low spots where water collects near the door

What we see on newer homes

• Attached garages on smooth, troweled slabs
• Builder sealers that need grinding off
• Minor shrinkage cracks and open control joints

Next to a volcanic monument

Newberry National Volcanic Monument forms the southern border of Deschutes River Woods, the Deschutes River its northwest edge and U.S. Route 97 its east side. The community sits at about 3,934 feet, a few hundred feet higher than central Bend. Much of the ground is volcanic, and dust and cinders from unpaved shoulders and driveways get tracked in. A flake floor with a hard topcoat hides that grit and holds up to the scraping it causes.

Room for a shop

Because lots here started large, many properties still have space for a detached shop, a second garage or an RV bay. We coat those floors with thicker systems built for heavier use. RVs and trailers parked for months put steady weight on one spot, so we make sure the coating is fully cured before anything heavy goes back on it.

Wildland edge and a dusty summer

Living next to a national monument means a lot of forest and open ground nearby. Summers are dry and dusty, and a garage door left open lets in pine needles, dust and sand. On bare concrete that dust packs into the pores. A sealed floor lets you sweep or blow it out in a couple of minutes. A polyaspartic topcoat also holds up to the sun when the door stays open on summer afternoons.

Families and busy garages

The community has an average household size of 2.78 people, and children here attend Bend-La Pine schools including Elk Meadow Elementary and Caldera High School. Family garages hold bikes, sports gear, a second fridge and a car or two. A coated floor makes that space easier to clean and brighter to work in. We often suggest a lighter flake color so the garage does not feel dark.

How we price it

Because slabs here vary so much, we do not quote over the phone. We measure the floor, test moisture and look at every crack and old coating. The written quote lists the repair work and the coating system as separate lines, so you can see what your particular slab needs.
