Epoxy Flooring in Sisters, OR

Epoxy flooring in Sisters is a small-town job with a big recent backstory. Sisters had 959 residents in 2000, 2,038 in 2010 and 3,064 in 2020. For a town that was incorporated in 1946 and once peaked at about 500 people, that is a lot of new houses, and a lot of new garage slabs, in twenty years.

Who we coat floors for in Sisters

The 2020 census gives a clear picture of the town. The median age was 48.3, and 27.9% of residents were 65 or older. Of 1,661 housing units, 19.2% were counted as vacant, which in a place like Sisters usually means second homes and seasonal rentals. Those numbers shape the kind of floor work we do here.

Retirees and full-time owners

Many owners want a garage that is safe to walk on. A gloss floor can be slick when wet, so we add texture with flake or a grit additive in the topcoat. That gives better footing when snow melts off the car. Brighter colors also make the space easier to see in.

Part-time owners

If you are not in town, we can plan the work around your visits. We need the garage emptied and access for about two days, plus cure time before cars go back in. We send photos of the finished floor so you know how it turned out.

Cars, rodeo trailers and car shows

Sisters holds the Sisters Rodeo every June, a tradition since 1941, and the Glory Daze Car Show each July. You do not need a show car to want a good garage floor, but plenty of Sisters garages hold a project car, a horse trailer or a tractor. For heavier vehicles and hot tires, we use a thicker base coat and a hard topcoat that resists hot-tire pickup. Hot-tire pickup is when warm tires soften a weak coating and pull it off the floor.

Weather at the foot of the mountains

Sisters gets more moisture than Bend or Redmond, with about 15.20 inches of precipitation a year. Its record low is minus 28 degrees and its record high is 109. A garage here sees deep cold, wet snow and dry summer heat in the same year. We watch slab temperature closely in the shoulder seasons and use polyaspartic when it is too cool for standard epoxy.

A floor for a home that changes hands

With so many newer homes, plenty of Sisters houses are sold within a few years of being built. A clean, coated garage floor is one of the things buyers notice when they walk through. It is also easy to keep up. Sweep it, rinse it a few times a year and squeegee out meltwater in winter, and it will look good for a long time.

Shops and wood dust

Sisters grew up around logging, and its last mill closed in 1963. Woodworking is still common in home shops here. Sawdust and finishing products are hard on bare concrete. A sealed shop floor sweeps clean and does not absorb stain or oil finishes. We usually suggest a solid color with light flake so dropped screws and small parts are easy to find.
