Epoxy Flooring Installation in New Orleans
We install epoxy flooring in New Orleans garages, workshops, commercial kitchens and warehouses and bond the coating to a ground, prepared concrete slab. Whether it lasts here comes down to two checks before the first coat: how the slab is prepared and how much moisture is coming up through it.

Epoxy flooring in New Orleans: where it works and where it doesn't
This page is for homeowners and business owners weighing epoxy for a slab floor. It covers where epoxy fits and where it doesn't, how the job runs, the systems we install and what changes the price. For coatings beyond epoxy, see our floor coatings page.
Epoxy goes on concrete. The question is what the space puts it through.
Garages and workshops
A garage or workshop on a slab is a natural place for epoxy. The slab still gets tested and ground like any other.
Commercial kitchens and restrooms
Sherwin-Williams notes that smooth resinous or epoxy floors can become slippery when wet, and that texture is added for skid resistance. Wet rooms get a textured finish. See our page on restaurant and cafe flooring.
Warehouses and shop floors
Large slabs with forklift or cart traffic, where downtime has to be planned in phases. Our warehouse flooring page covers the rest of that work.
Where epoxy doesn't fit
Raised wood floors aren't a base for it, and a slab with unresolved moisture isn't either. For a sunny carport or patio, Sherwin-Williams describes finish coats made from resins with greater chemical or UV resistance, which our floor coatings page compares.

How an epoxy job runs: prep and moisture come first
According to Sherwin-Williams, the number one reason coatings fail is a lack of surface preparation or the wrong kind. That's why most of the job happens before any epoxy is mixed.
Test the slab for moisture
The Department of Energy classes Orleans Parish as hot-humid (climate zone 2A), so slab moisture gets checked on every job here.
Sherwin-Williams calls moisture vapor coming up through a slab very problematic for most resinous floors. We test with the in-situ relative humidity method in ASTM F2170, whose standard notes that excess slab moisture can cause debonding and microbial growth under coatings.
Grind and repair
Sherwin-Williams says to grind or shotblast the surface to create a profile, and that a thicker coating needs a greater profile. Cracks, old sealers and oil stains are dealt with at this stage.
Primer, body and finish coats
Primer goes into the profiled concrete, then the body coats, then a finish coat matched to the space.
Cure and return to use
The floor stays closed until the coating has cured to the maker's instructions. We'll give you that timing in the estimate.

How it works
Epoxy systems we install
Each system is built for the space. Here's what we put down.
- 01
Solid epoxy for shops and warehouses
A plain, single-color finish for working floors.
- 02
Decorative flake and metallic finishes
For garages, showrooms and other places where looks matter.
- 03
Textured finishes for wet areas
Texture added to the finish coat for skid resistance, per Sherwin-Williams.
- 04
Finish coats for the space
Sherwin-Williams says epoxy resins are typically very hard and can scratch fairly easily, so a finish coat chosen for the space can go over the epoxy. Our epoxy flooring page explains the material.
What affects the cost and downtime?
Every epoxy job is priced after we test and look at the slab. These are the things that move the number.
- Square footage and slab condition Cracks, old coatings and oil stains add prep time.
- Moisture mitigation A slab that tests high needs a moisture fix before the coating goes on.
- System build A single color, a flake broadcast or a metallic finish, and the number of coats.
- Business hours Commercial floors may need to be done in phases or after closing.
