Kennedale homes, garages and shops we work in
We're a flooring contractor based in Mansfield, TX, and Kennedale is a short drive up the road, so we're out here often. Some calls come from older ranch houses on roomy lots, where the two-car garage or detached shop has been a workbench for years. Others come from newer houses whose garages have never held more than a car. The city has its share of small shops and service businesses too, so a week here can mean a home garage one day and a work floor the next.
Homeowners in neighboring Rendon call us about the same kinds of floors. What changes the job most is the age of the slab, because an older garage floor usually carries oil, patches and a coat or two of old paint that all have to come off before anything new will stick.
Flooring services we offer in Kennedale
A solid epoxy coat suits Kennedale garages and utility rooms where you want a bright floor that cleans easily, laid over a slab we've ground and patched first.
For the shops, warehouses and service bays in and around Kennedale, we lay heavier epoxy systems that stand up to carts, forklifts, spills and daily hosing.
When the garage is also the workshop, a flake coating hides scuffs and dust and wipes clean of the oil drips a bare slab soaks up.
Polyaspartic sets up faster than epoxy, so it fits a Kennedale family that needs the garage or patio back quickly, once we've ground the slab properly.
For a game room, home office or showroom, metallic epoxy gives a poured, marbled look, and it needs a very flat, clean slab to come out right.
Restaurant kitchens and food businesses here get urethane cement when hot washdowns and grease would soften an ordinary coating. I know those floors from years of cooking on them.
When you pull up old carpet or tile in a Kennedale house, polishing the slab underneath can give you a hard, glossy floor without adding a coating.
Stain soaks color into the concrete itself, so it suits living areas and patios here, as long as we clean off the old glue that would block it.
Terrazzo sets chips of stone or glass in a binder and grinds them smooth, for entries, lobbies and storefronts that want a floor with real character.
A below-grade slab needs a moisture check before anything goes down, so we test first and choose a coating or seal that suits what we find.
Grinding is the step I care about most, because it opens up a slick or stained slab so the next coat bonds instead of peeling later.
A penetrating or film sealer protects driveways, patios and bare garage floors from oil and water stains when you'd rather keep the plain concrete look.
Worn, pitted or patched slabs on older Kennedale homes can get a thin overlay that gives you a fresh surface without tearing out the concrete.
When a slab dips or a room addition left an uneven seam, a self-leveling pour flattens it before tile, wood or a coating goes on top.
Backyard pool decks with cracks, faded paint or rough spots get resurfaced with a textured coating that's easier on bare feet and simpler to hose off.
Peeling garage kits, old tile glue and tired coatings come off first, because new product laid over a failing layer peels right along with it.

Working in Kennedale: permits, licenses and what sets the price
Inside Kennedale city limits, permits come from the city's Building Inspections Division, which covers work that changes, moves or repairs floors, walls and the like, and whether your floor job falls in that group is the city's call, not ours. When I'm not sure, I ask the building office before we start, and if a permit is needed we take care of it and build the review wait into your start date. A business located inside city limits also needs a Kennedale business license every year, and we're fully licensed and insured, so those are fair things to ask any contractor you're weighing.
What moves the price and the schedule is mostly the slab itself and the finish you pick, and the schedule also turns on cure time between coats and any permit review. Your written estimate lays out the prep and the product so you can see where the work goes. It's the same work we do in nearby Forest Hill and Everman, and the slab gets tested first there too.
Kennedale floors that need more than a fresh coat
A lot of the garages we see here do double duty as a workshop or storage room, so the slab has years of oil, brake fluid and tire marks worked into its surface. That's why a hardware-store paint kit tends to let go on these floors, since it's sitting on grime instead of concrete. We grind the floor open, degrease it and fill the cracks before any coating goes down, the same way you'd scrub a pan clean before you season it.
Older houses opened up for remodels are the other big driver, because pulling up carpet or tile usually leaves glue, patches and uneven seams behind. We strip and level that first, so a stain, polish or overlay has an even slab under it instead of the shadow of the old floor.
How a Kennedale floor job runs, from call to walkthrough
Here's how it goes from your side, from the first call to the day I walk the finished floor with you.
Call or send a message
Call (817) 405-3758 or use the form and tell me what the space is and how you use it. We set a time for me to come out and see it.
I come out and look
I check the slab for moisture, cracks and old coatings and ask how you use the space, because a shop floor and a game room need different products. You get a written estimate that explains how we'll prep the floor and which product fits, so you can see what you're paying for before you decide.
Fit any permit into dates
If the city needs a permit, its plan review typically takes about 5 to 10 business days depending on the project, so I work that wait into the date we pick. With no permit to wait on, we simply choose a date that suits you.
Prep, finish and walk through
Our crew grinds, repairs and finishes the floor with me running the job. When it's done, I walk the floor with you before we pack up and tell you how long to wait before you put weight on it.
Questions about concrete flooring in Kennedale
Do I need a permit to coat or resurface a concrete floor in Kennedale, TX?
The city's online permit summary lists floor covering among the cosmetic remodels that don't need a permit, while work that changes, moves or repairs a floor does need one. A job that includes crack repair or leveling can be harder to call, which is why I settle it with the city before we start. Permit applications in Kennedale all go in online through the city's building permit applications page.
Does a flooring contractor have to register with the City of Kennedale?
Yes, every contractor and subcontractor has to be registered with the city before they can get a permit there. If your floor needs a permit, the registration is on us as part of taking care of it, so there's nothing for you to file.
Which building codes does Kennedale use for home remodeling?
The city lists the 2018 International Residential Code, with its own local amendments, as the residential code in use. It also says it's evaluating the 2024 codes for adoption and gives no date for that, so check the city's adopted building codes page if your project goes beyond the floor.
How do I schedule a building inspection in Kennedale?
You email inspections@cityofkennedale.com with your request. Requests that arrive by noon get scheduled for the next day, later ones go to the next business day, and the city sends a confirmation email once it's processed. When the permit is ours to handle, that request comes with the job.
What affects the cost of an epoxy garage floor in Kennedale?
Prep usually drives the price more than the coating does, because grinding off old paint, degreasing oil spots and filling cracks takes more work than rolling out the finish. The size of the floor counts, and so does the system, since a single solid coat, a full flake floor and a metallic floor take very different amounts of labor and material. I'll look at your slab and put your figure in the written estimate.
How do I know if my concrete slab is ready for an epoxy coating?
You usually can't tell by looking, so I test the slab for moisture and check it for cracks, oil and old coatings before I recommend anything. A slab with too much moisture coming up or a failing old coat needs work first, and I'd rather tell you it isn't ready than coat it and watch it peel. Call us at (817) 405-3758 and I'll come take a look.
