Where we work in the Birmingham metro

Jefferson, Shelby and the western edge of St. Clair County. Below is every area we cover, with a link to the ones that have enough going on to deserve their own page.

Epoxy Flooring Birmingham works across the metro for garage floors, basements, patios, pool decks, driveways and commercial floors. Surveys are free and there is no travel charge inside the standard area.

Over the mountain

Hoover · Vestavia Hills · Mountain Brook · Homewood

The busiest part of our week. Three or four decades of building booms, each of which left a different kind of slab, plus the oldest concrete in the metro in Mountain Brook and the hillside basements that come with a ridge.

Shelby County

Alabaster · Pelham · Helena · Chelsea · Calera

Newer housing, larger garages and the red soil that decides the colour conversation. Also where curing time on a fresh slab is a live question rather than a theoretical one.

North Jefferson

Gardendale · Fultondale · Clay · Pinson

Mid-century ranch stock with garages that are frequently workshops, alongside newer subdivisions on larger lots with shop buildings and pole barns out back.

East

Trussville · Irondale · Leeds · Moody

Newer subdivisions, the rail and interstate industrial corridor, and out into St. Clair County where the lots get bigger and the outbuildings multiply.

West and south-west

Bessemer

The one part of the metro where our commercial work outweighs the residential, because of the industrial corridor along I-20 and I-59.

Everywhere else in the metro

We also cover, without a dedicated page for each: Adamsville, Center Point, Fairfield, Forestdale, Graysville, Hueytown, Indian Springs, Kimberly, McCalla, Midfield, Morris, Mount Olive, Pleasant Grove, Riverchase, Shoal Creek, Tarrant, Warrior and the unincorporated parts of Jefferson and Shelby County between them.

Birmingham itself, obviously, from Southside and Avondale through Crestwood, Forest Park, Highland Park, Roebuck, Eastwood, Southside and Five Points, out to Huffman and East Lake.

If you are in the metro and not on this list, call and ask. The answer is almost always yes.

Outside the standard area

We take work further out case by case, and the deciding factor is the size of the job rather than the distance. A small residential garage two hours away is difficult to justify; a commercial floor the same distance is not.

Tuscaloosa, Cullman, Gadsden, Anniston and Jasper all fall into that category. Call and ask rather than assuming.

What travel means for your quote

Inside the standard metro area there is no trip charge, and surveys are free whether or not you go ahead.

What does change with distance is scheduling. We group jobs geographically where we can, so a small job at the far end of Shelby County may be offered a day that suits the route rather than the first available slot. For commercial work with a phasing requirement, that is planned around your operation rather than ours.

What we need before we come out

Not much. Roughly what the space is and roughly how big, whether there is an existing coating on it, and whether you have any reason to think the slab gets damp.

Photos help more than descriptions, particularly of any cracking, peeling or staining. If you have them, send them with your enquiry and we can often tell you something useful before we arrive.

For access, mention anything awkward when you book: a narrow driveway, a steep approach, a shop building down a gravel track, a basement reached only through the house. All of it is manageable and none of it is a good surprise on the morning.

What changes from one part of the metro to another

The service is the same everywhere. What differs is what we expect to find before we arrive, and it shapes the questions we ask on the phone.

Over the mountain, in the older Homewood and Mountain Brook housing, we ask about basements and about whether the house is built into a slope. Those slabs predate routine vapour barrier use, and vapour drive is what lifts a basement coating from underneath. That conversation starts with a moisture test rather than a colour chart.

In the newer Shelby County subdivisions, we ask how old the house is. A slab poured last year needs to have cured before it takes anything, and it may still have a curing compound on the surface. Newer floors are not the easy job people assume.

In north Jefferson, we ask what the garage is used for. A high proportion are working shops with a bench, a compressor and a project car, and that changes the specification toward chemical resistance and grip rather than appearance.

On larger lots east and north, we ask whether there is a shop building or a pole barn as well. Those slabs were usually poured separately from the house, frequently onto graded earth with no vapour barrier, and they are the least predictable concrete in the metro.

Everywhere in Shelby County, we steer the colour conversation toward warm blends with tan or beige in them, because red soil shows badly on cool greys and it is the thing people notice a year later.

Commercial coverage

The commercial side runs on a wider radius than the residential one, because the jobs are larger and the travel is a smaller share of the cost.

Warehouse and distribution space along the I-20, I-59 and I-65 corridors, workshops and service bays throughout the metro, commercial kitchens across the restaurant districts, and industrial floors in the older building stock west and east of the city.

Commercial work is phased around your operation, frequently at night or across weekends, and quoted in writing with the preparation method, system, film build and phasing named so you can compare it properly against anything else you are holding.

Not sure whether your floor is worth doing?

That is a fair question and the answer is not always yes. Some slabs are better served by a densifier and sealer than a full coating. Some have moisture or movement that needs resolving first. And occasionally a floor has reached the end of its life and a coating would be money spent on a failing surface.

We would rather tell you that on the first visit than after you have paid. Call and we will come and look.

Common questions

Do you charge for coming out?

No. Surveys are free inside the metro whether or not you proceed, and there is no trip charge on the work either.

How far do you travel?

Jefferson, Shelby and western St. Clair as standard. Further for larger commercial work, decided by the size of the job rather than the mileage.

How soon can someone look at it?

Usually the same week. Areas at the far end of Shelby County are grouped by route, so a small job there may be offered a specific day.

My area is not listed.

Call and ask. The list covers the areas with enough work to warrant their own page, not the limit of where we go.

Can you tell me a price over the phone?

A range, and an honest sense of whether it is a small or a large job. A firm price needs someone to see the slab, because its condition is what moves the number most.

Do you do commercial as well as residential?

Both. Commercial work is phased around your operation, frequently out of hours, and quoted with the preparation method, system and film build named in writing.
